Oh, the sillies...

The argument that "information wants to be free" made by the more radical wing of the technology community has always struck me as odd.

Wouldn't this approach lead to an environment where not just music, books and images are free, but also the very products upon which the industry relies for its main profits: computer software?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I always thought that there was a huge overlap between the "I want free music!" communities and the "Let's all use open-source software!" communities. Open source, of course, meaning free.

Missing the point, much?

(I'm not getting involved in this debate, of course, only to mention that you should understand the positions of those *in* the debate before snarking at them. Unless I am the one missing something)

Unitarian Jihad, taken from multiple sources

I'm strongly reminded of the slogans uttered in Interesting Times...

I think we really need to stop having water fights around Ana...

I was sitting with her, and she had ice (which I'd forgotten about), and do you know what she did? She tried to stick it under my shirt!

(She didn't succeed, the amateur. I took it from her and dropped it down her back.)

To get back at her, I sang the "sing a song of sixpence" song a few times. She really does have the funniest (yet ultimately futile) ways of avoiding getting her nose poked, including lying flat out on the couch. I hope her giggling insanely isn't her way of saying "I hate you, and later in life I will get my revenge"...
