There could come a day when it will be against the law...at least in the United States to use, possess, advocate or distrubute any Linux Operating system.

Anybody up to writing good directory software?
Tue, 2007-02-20 11:17 — David JonathanSince the very beginning, directories (of any kind) have had a very central role in the internet. (I have recently grown fond of Free Web Directory. Even Slashdot can be considered a directory: a collection of great news and invaluable user-generated comments. As far as software is concerned, doing a quick search on Google about software directories will return the free (as in freedom) software directories like Savannah, SourceForge, Freshmeat and so on, followed by shareware and freeware sites such as FileBuzz, PCWin Download Center and All Freeware (great if you're looking for shareware and freeware, but definitely less comprehensive than their free-as-in-freedom counterparts).
Is better education the key to finding better software?
Sat, 2007-03-03 03:25 — Edward RusselI read David Jonathon's article Anybody Up To Writing Good Directory Software? the other day, which got me thinking about software directories in general. As David mentioned, many of the software directories one finds when doing a quick google search are free as in beer, not as in freedom. But what interests me is the software directories that already exist, providing a combination of both free as in beer software, and open source software. Sites such as Freeware Downloads and Shareware Download don't advertise themselves as providing free as in liberty software, but each of them have a good selection of open source software available... if you know where to look.

this is lame. If the US of A does
this is lame. If the US of A does starting being silly and paranoid about terrrorists, the economy would be sunk as every other business in the normal world will be using a free version of linux instead of paying the m$ tax.
Terrorists have been overtaken as the #1 risk to the US economy now (sub prime lending 1st).

This isn't that far from the realm
This isn't that far from the realm of possibility. Even the author states that it is not apt to happen, but it would have been interesting to hear him expound on his idea. It seems that from some of the comments, to include the one that resides above me, that they have no clue what is happening around them. Do any of you know the President of china visited here and spent his first night in the US in the company and residence of Bill Gates? LOL. Gates got to bend his ear about piracy before bush got to him about anything.
Education in the US is Free son.... Given you are a citizen of Lady Liberty, it's a shame you didn't take advantage of a free education.
