Dear Oatmeal,
I see that your website uses CakePHP.
Can you please publicly contribute a tidy sum to all the open source software that you use?
Will you also contribute to underfunded research in universities which has made the Web/Internet possible which supports you?
- outside1234 12y agoYou are right, but that said, the Oatmeal didn't name themselves TheCakePHP either.
- Alterlife 12y agoSo you're saying he should pay 8 million to an oatmeal museum? edit: Judging by the downvotes, clearly I didn't make my point as well as I hoped. What I'm trying to say is this: The name doesn't matter. You can't ask someone to donate 8 million to a cause because they're using a name that's now synonymous with a technology. If I sell trousers, that doesn't entitle the Jacob Trowser memorial fund a donation from me. 8 million dollar donation to build a Tesla museum? Why pay some shmuck that amount of money? Elon Musk is building his own god damn monument to Tesla. It's called Tesla Motors.
- shiven 12y agoHell, I'd donate money to see an oatmeal museum!
- cscurmudgeon 12y agoExactly. Why donate millions to a museum when there are starving scientists (like Tesla)? (And yes, I know the Africa vs NASA argument.)
- knodi 12y agobut but we must remember the dead. i for one would love to see a museum for Elu'tha.
- Zelphyr 12y agoJesus Jet-Skiing Christ. All he did was ask. Politely I might add.
