It is TEDx, shit for brains.

Try watching the video before you share your inane ramblings that would embarrass an amoeba: it's right on the splash screen at the start and the end.

Or perhaps you were too busy drooling to notice.

Have you been asleep for the last 2 years?

Cell 'phones can be, and are, used to track your location all the time they are on whether making a call or not. And not just by the NSA et al but by your 'phone company.

What? Your post started off "okay but mistaken" and then just descended into self-conscious gibberish.

Stallman's principles and objectives have been consistent. Just because you don't agree with them is irrelevant, even if you try to discredit them attaching derogatory labels to them: if anything you're post was a prime example of being obtuse and you've clearly gone wrong.

You're wrong.

Stallman's objectives have been the same since he established the FSF and he enumerates them as his 4 Freedoms.

The problem is that people, including you, fail to pick up that Free software is primarily about morality and ethics, not coding or technology.

Stallman has always been very clear on these points.

The confusion rests solely in your head: *your* term "free open-source" is at the heart of it.

Watch his TEDx video, you know the thing your commenting on, and he explains it all very clearly.

You're an idiot.

"...and wants all software to be open-source."

No, he absolutely does not want all software to be "open-source".

He espouses 4 freedoms which can only be achieved through "FREE/Libre software".

"Open-source" has different aims and he speaks against them.

The rest of your post is equally ill informed and utterly misses his points, which demonstrated either you didn't even bother watching the TEDx video before vomiting out your rather moronic post or you were incapable of understanding.

Free software is literally nothing to do with whether "it's harder to write and debug applications".

I had that situation face-to-face.

Black guy whose only qualification was a piece of paper from Sun saying he could answer questions about Java. (Shouldn't have even been called for interview really: the company was desperate to diversify away from just VB development).

I simply could not understand a single word he said! I had to stop the interview after 10 minutes.

How is a posting that missed the humour completely 'insightful'?

"How is their only option"?!?!

*You* said it was and I quote from your post just a few inches up:

"It's the only decent, free and customizable mobile OS with a decent app library."

Short term memory loss?

I heard you're idea's and their definately good.

"... I'm jusr grateful..."

Hand in your badge and gun, old timer.

Yet another argument for being able to moderate the posts themselves: and the editors who post them.

Torvalds has always been a foul mouthed whiner and politely asking him to behave like a decent human being won't change him.

There, fixed that for you.

Torvalds has always been a self-important arsehole -and I mean that in a bad way- and he's too socially inept to even realise what a spoilt little brat he is.

Sorry but your wrong.

For some, but by no means all, laws intent to break it is an important factor.

The fact you don't understand the difference says even more about you than calling someone 'douchey'.
