see, i don't buy that. people write software because they have a need
for it.
the linux kernel is the best example.
Yeah and the core group are all paid for by a government. sort of...
its called the Linux Foundation.
And how fast is development going?
Tried reverse engineering the latest graphics cards lately?
Im writing free software in my free time and its been dragging on for
almost 4 years already and no release in sight. reverse engineering is
so slow you know and the hardware im using is obsolete and the nda's i
signed are so f*****g worthless. And they wont give me another for
their latest. VIA is so f******g mercantilist. i think im going to
start using AMD LX but where are the f*****g board vendors? outside
the country! maybe ill stick to fpga's. screw intel and the rest of
the whole f*****g wintel monopoly.
And why are the EU countries and the UN calling on the third world to
invest in open source? They are so wrong!
I can see this is going nowhere. Im finished with this thread. Sorry
for the noise.
