Stallman speaks: Blah blah freedom mwah patents blah Microsoft mwah evil blah blah


King of the freetards is starting to sound like a broken record. Check out this interview where he says, uh, the same stuff he's already said a million times. Microsoft is evil; patents are evil; Torvalds is a tool. Why do people continue to interview this dyspeptic coot?

Then again, you have to be impressed by the widespread adoption of Saint Richard's new GPLv3. I mean, see the list of adopters here. In just four months they've managed to line up hundreds of really important projects, like "Goggles Music Manager" "Groinc the simple network sniffer," "YeastsIdentification," (very useful at freetard conventions), "Zapto Richtext Editor (ZRE)," and "ZipSnap."

Well it's only a matter of time before all those big companies that sat on the GPLv3 drafting committees jump on board too. HP, IBM, Sun. And just loook at the love and admiration that RMS is getting on Slashdot, for example in this string. Truly the proprietary model is in its final death throes. "Viva la revolucion!" as the tenured professors in Cambridge say. (Photo: Burt Hammer, El Pais.)

Steve, why are you an ENEMY OF FREEDOM AND KNOWLEDGE? I mean, I can download and play Powermanga now thanks to the AmigaOS 4 Port ( http://linux.tlk.fr/games/Powermanga/download/ ) and I feel good too because I am SUPPORTING FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IN THE UNIVERSE!

FSJ,
I agree with what you said about Yeti.
But (the inevitable but), you have to be impressed by the amount of hair the man can grow. He must spend an enormous time taking care of it, cos' it ain't easy, as you, growing up in hippier days, would know.
Can you imagine what a nice home that is for nits & fleas & other primordial freetards? He's just doing the same for software.

I love it that "see the list of adopters here" points to port 8080. The freetards are telling us "Hey, we're cool, our www isn't on port 80." The really pitiful part is that if you go to the root directory of the url on port 80 it redirects you to port 8080. Jerks.

Dear Steve Jobs,

You are a simpleton.
That I can forgive - unlike your incessant promotion of unfree software.

You will burn for your sins.

Richard.

Is Stallman dying his hair now? He looks a lot younger in this photo.

That is just friggin plain retarded. So using Port 80 is taking one in the ass the BeastMaster then? To think, my beloved Ports are THE ENEMY OF FREEDOM.
