Compare emacs with the shiny toys Jobs made and I think we see who comes out on top.
Way to cherry-pick facts to back up your bias. Compare GCC with the Lisa and see who comes out on top.

For all of you logic-challenged commenters out there: saying bad things about RMS does not turn Jobs into a saint, no matter how much you wish it would.
Slashdot's icon for a bug is a picture of a beetle? I thought this was news for NERDS.
I'm so glad that other states are doing this kind of experiment on their children. Future generations will thank them for the empirical evidence.

It isn't a robot, it's a waldo. It didn't wake, it was turned on.
