Yeah, nice argument: "I'm right, so stop talking". Classic Slashdot, usually rewarded with good karma.

No, Mr. "+2 whatever I write", he's not been thinking about that for longer than I've been alive, and yes, I read much of what he wrote.

Just for your information.

But isn't paying the cinema ticket or the TV tax a form of DRM? The fact that he can see a movie does not give him the right, for example, to record it with a camera while he's at the cinema in order to watch it again later. You accept such a restriction, or you're free to not go to the cinema.

And the fact that a closed plug-in can take control of your computer, that's another matter, I think good engineering can mitigate those risks.

I'd like to know if RMS watches movies or TV series from time to time, I mean "commercial" movies and TV series. Maybe sometimes he watches TV, or goes to cinema, and everyone of those actions means: firming a contract between him and the corporation who made the movie, in order to watch it at the conditions written by said corporation, who, by the way, spent a lot of money to made such movie.

Or does he watch community-made movies only?

Stop watching non-free movies or TV series. After all, we're not talking about DRMed food or clothes. But you don't want to live without them, isn't it? Here it's not firefox who wants DRM, it's people, and they are acting as a tool for their users' needs.

Also, no one is forcing you to see big movies made by big companies who spend bilions to make them, but you and I like them and want to watch them. Or you could only watch movies made by the community with a few thousand $ raised by crowdfounding, but how good would be they?

No, he was referring to Agent Smith.

Why can't I stop figuring Grampa Simpson?

"How Does Heartbleed Alter the 'Open Source Is Safer' Discussion?"

Why have I grown to be very suspicious about everything that's crowfunded?

... then asks for asylum in Canada.

Maybe unrelated, but the bug revelation too is a bit suspect to me. I mean, look at the Heartbleed web site, it seems they are showmen rather than scientists, they registered a domain expressely, they drawn a logo... Seems much like self-advertising.

And don't forget the *deliberate* security holes placed in close software. A link that comes to my mind: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N...

No, they must update to Windows XP. Unsupported as well, but faster!
