Why do they even bother?

th_humpingiceweaselst6.gifSometimes you just can't help but wonder if there isn't a fifth column within the open source and free software movements aimed at their complete destruction and relegation to irrelevance after reading things like this. Really, it has almost ceased to amaze me how anal the GNU folks are about anything related to intellectual property that they cannot use without the slightest restrictions, unless they're the sort of restrictions that they actually approve of. So yes, I stole this parody (I assume) of the IceWeasel logo. Ain't it just cute? This is about as much attention as the Firefox developers should give this misbegotten project, though I've gotta hand it to them. They chose a good name to tweak the Firefox project with.

    Of course there's a fifth column in the open source movement. It's the same cunts that seek to keep the world hamstrung to MicroCock. Bill Gates may have invented the wheel (MS DOS/Windows), but that's note the same as the steel-belted radial. He's made his fortune, but that doesn't seem to be enough.

    I'm going to do a post of the BS of YOUTUBE selling out to Gurgle, if the volition possesses me this week. Pretty much all the fun junk you can get off there will soon be gaffled by copyright cunts in hollywood's never ending quest to be penny-wise, pound-foolish pricks.

    Also, my haloscan has been screwing up, and not posting my replies to your posts (Sorry about that). As of last night, it had disappeared altogether....

    But alas, like they say about free adivice, you get what you pay for...

    Ummmm ok. I would have said that it's the groups like Stallman's who want to make the world 100% FOSS or nothing else. The people who want to make it basically impossible to sell actual software because everything is free. They're the ones who make the more moderate, business-friendly people lose their time in the lime light because guess who gets all of the attention?
