An Open Slashdot Letter To Richard Stallman

Tesseractic writes: I am from Oz, and I'm currently having something of a dispute with our monarch. (I must read No Truce With Kings sometime.) I sometimes start my emails with "Greetings from Oz," and I am currently the holder of a WWVP card in the Australian Capital Territory; they don't give these away to criminals, enemies of the state, or (and particularly) pedophiles. This is the sort of card that _any_ Scout Leader should possess, for example, and which Richard Stallman in particular, should seek, should he never have actually been a member of such organizations as NAMBLA or the like. With a card of similar significance, Stallman could confidently resume a leadership role in the FSF and take the FSF onward.) For my part, it sometimes really makes my day when a kid in the supermarket mistakes me for Santa and I can feel free to interact with the kid, secure in the knowledge that I can produce the WWVP card to placate any concerned adult if needed. I actually got the card because I had planned to volunteer some of my time at Questacon in Parkes (the suburb of Canberra, ACT, not the town with the big dish in NSW): https://visitcanberra.com.au/a... On FSF stuff: The GNU Software Defined Radio project is key. With it and an appropriate amplifier and antenna you could even send ELF signals that might be picked up by submarines. Maybe send them, slowly, an ogg file, perhaps uuencoded. I wonder how long it would take to send Deep Purple's Space Truckin' over the ELF. GNU TeXmacs is also key — could the FSF please release a version that uses _only_ the latest STIX fonts, and restore the AXIOM session plugin? I have a copy of Mathematica on one of my machines but I find it tedious. FWIW, On Fidonet I often used a tagline very like: — C and C++ Programming, Analog and Digital design too. FSF supporters, if you don't think the author of this post is insane, please check out my other recent post at https://slashdot.org/submissio... and please grade it NOTSPAM , perhaps on the firehose so we can discuss it on Slashdot's regular system. There is a plea for Bitcoin but read it first and then decide if it makes sense. I really only want help from those who are interested in the Internal Combustion Engine tech I've been sitting on for decades and in fuels for them that are carbon-neutral. MIT and integer factoring get a mention, too. Enough from me, please vote it up.
