Maybe he is. Maybe that's what I am, too. What do you mean by productive outlet for his talent? Maybe he didn't want to help VCs make a few more million a year, or contribute to those systems at all. I support hacktivists, and if you don't, that's your right. But I hope you realize how much FLOSS, and thus also Silicon Valley, are tied to this immature, 'unproductive' culture. For example, Sam Hocevar, the same one that you know for running the debian project, was the former president of the trolling group named 'Gay Nigger Association of America.' The spirit of hacking is doing things just because you can. If we only used computer skills to do productive things, where would we be today? I am just trying to say, I think this is necessary for computing culture to be as prolific as it is, and I think it's hilarious and awesome.
