A pause in time... [Patrick Brown] (Mar 03 2004 23:59 GMT) - Measure your self by that which is great, Aspire to that which has longevity, Move with the godly, Stay with the real. Standing on shoulders is not greatness, Playing a fools game is not wisdom, Felling you have won is not victory, And satisfaction is folly. You have not been asked anything, And you strive so hard to win, The walking man will carry no tally, The wise will stay the course. [Patrick Brown] |

Open Source, Terrorists, and Eric Raymond (Mar 03 2004 23:58 GMT) - Open Source has a lot in common with Terrorists. Both "groups" are decentralized, made of many sub-groups, and pretty much do what they want to do, believe what they want to believe, and are quite fluid in nature. Nobody knows how many people are part of the Open Source community. |
