Freedom is Not Embarrassing
,----[ Quote ]
| This may seem like reading apocalyptic meaning into Free Software, and I
| think it does have nearly-apocalyptic importance. Openness, accountability,
| honesty, success based on merit, community---hey, call me a nasty red Commie,
| but that sure sounds like the fundamentals of democracy. Who in the
| proprietary world is looking out for us? If it weren't for Free Software we'd
| be shorn skinless. Tor, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, PGP, open standards, formats, code,
| protocols, free intellectual inquiry and sharing, a culture of stubborn
| resistance-- they're more important than ever. Technology is part of the
| foundation of modern life, and it's too important to let the greedy
| exploiters control it.

Freedom is not Free for Countries nor Computer Users
,----[ Quote ]
| Today is the day that the United States of America celebrates Independence
| Day. We declared ourselves free from England’s rule and started a Revolution
| to create a country based on truly revolutionary ideals. The ideal that all
| people are created equal in the sight of God and no one is above another in
| God’s eyes. The ideal that people have unalienable rights given to them from
| God, not from government. The ideal that people have the right to abolish an
| out of control, despotic government to replace it with one more amenable to
| the people. These unprecedented ideals had never been set forth in writing to
| form any other nation until the beginning of the United States of America.
| Yes, we did win our freedom but it was not freely given to us. Men pledged “…
| to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” and went to war
| to win this freedom.

As the TOYA Boy Turns...

| Linux (Gnu/Linux for my brethren who prefer) exists as much as a philosophy
| as it does a system.
|
| Microsoft Windows is a product. Redmond cannot even spell philosophy.
