| business groups, will explore the utility of
| the open source software stack â Linux,
| Apache, MySQL, PHP, Python and Perl, hence
| the LAMP acronym â for large businesses.

This Is Wrong: 'Without The Content Industries, The Internet Would Be Empty'
,----[ Quote ]
| Oh really? Why not try it, and let's see. The quote, by the way, was brought
| to us by Andrew Dubber, who properly calls Healey the "Wrongest Man on the
| Internet, July 2009." However, this really is how some of these guys think.
| They don't think that the internet really existed before they discovered it,
| and they think that everyone logs onto YouTube just to catch the latest TV
| clips. They don't realize that people use it to communicate and share and
| collaborate -- and that's a lot more useful than using it to get fed some
| mass market entertainment junk.

Why information is its own reward - same neurons signal thirst for water,
knowledge
,----[ Quote ]
| To me, and I suspect many readers, the quest for information can be an
| intensely rewarding experience. Discovering a previously elusive fact or
| soaking up a finely crafted argument can be as pleasurable as eating a fine
| meal when hungry or dousing a thirst with drink. This isn't just a fanciful
| analogy - a new study suggests that the same neurons that process the
| primitive physical rewards of food and water also signal the more abstract
| mental rewards of information.
