No, I benefit from free software every day. I'm glad that there's software that isn't encumbered by expensive licensing schemes. What I'm taking issue with is free software orthodoxy, or with the notion that there is som

I gotta say that I think this is just not a big deal for most people. I understand that FOSS ideals have appeal, I understand why people would like them to be protected -- but at the end of the day, I do feel like FOSS advocates, as well-me

This sounds an awful lot like "I'm taking advantage of the assumption of tipping to avoid paying a fair price for the services I receive."

No, my point is that none of these disciplines have been remotely subsumed by their "rigorous" counterparts, because their subject matter is fundamentally different. All of these "rigorous" fields are, of course, fed by

The critical issue here is not something's value as a "collectible." We're not caddisfly larvae.

Do your cousins want to code? Is it good for them to sit in solitude in front of a terminal instead of playing with other kids? Does it help them thrive to spend even more of their childhood staring at a screen than they already will? Will

Reserving a domain to publish this "investigation" seems unnecessary and somewhat troubling -- as does the extent of the investigation itself. EDIT: I was mistaken -- this site is dedicated to ratting out cheating runners. Whateve
