Obviously the submitter lived, worked, or went to school nearby. It is true though, my nicotine addicted friends would always huddle at Billy Goats in the back by the jukebox so they could smoke during lunch (back when you could inside...). The constructions workers from building projects nearby were a bunch of jerks though, throwing crap off the scaffolding on us as we'd walk back to school.

From the website:

This guy's attitude is right in line with any "producer." They market other people's work to earn fame and/or money for themselves. Now, the two programmers, they actually MADE something and I don't see them complaining about "IP theft." A producer makes money from selling the product, the more money the product makes, the more successful they are. Actual creative minds (the programmers in this case), might make a bit of money, might get a job offer, but most importantly they have pride for having created something! Suren has nothing without being the gatekeeper.

FreeNX seems nice, but in my experience your connections are only persistent on the remote host you used. Go use another host to login and you get a new session! RD allows you to lock your session, logout, and log into that session on another box...
