Google and open source want to make us OCD on energy
,----[ Quote ]
| The low-hanging fruit in the renewable energy
| business still lies with efficiency. Cutting
| your energy use without crimping your
| lifestyle gives you a faster payback than
| turning into Ed Begley Jr.
|
| Itâs still good to be a little Obsessive
| Compulsive Disorder (OCD) on energy use, even
| if your politics are to the right of Rush
| Limbaugh, because thereâs money in saving,
| money you can spend on cigars or vacations. Or
| food.

Canonical speaks to the 'commercial' debate
,----[ Quote ]
| Other accusations in the same vein come from
| more mature people. But the line of thought
| is still the same: free is good, commercial
| is bad. Such individuals are clearly unaware
| of the fact that free software, as defined
| by the Free Software Foundation, can be sold
| for monetary gain.
|
| But then this is the Linux community. One
| has to be ready for poorly educated,
| illogical assertions aplenty. The problem is
| that such uneducated, shrill voices are
| often taken as the majority - in the same
| way that a mob follows the voice of him/her
| who shouts loudest - and does a lot of
| damage to a company which is trying to
| provide things free and also keep the red
| ink out of its books.
