- tedunangst 14y agobah, I've had nightmares about broken hard drives for years too.
- rickmb 14y agoThis is the one reason why I will always continue to take RMS very seriously, no matter how annoying he gets. Also, since he is not just a prophet of doom but has spend a major part of his life trying to turn the tide, creating and inspiring stuff most of us have profited from, he deserves a hell of a lot more respect than he usually gets.
