| 23:01.28 | uugDave | Wow, I just read an article that finally made some sense when talking Open Source and economics. |
| 23:01.57 | uugDave | If you're like me, you love Open Source, you even like writing it. But you just can't understand how it sustains itself economically. |
| 23:02.05 | uugDave | Well, this sums it up quite nicely: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/StrategyLetterV.html |
| 23:07.03 | emcnabb | uugDave, very interesting |
| 23:09.32 | uugDave | This is my favorite line: "And that's why Bill Gates can buy Sweden and you can't." |
| 23:10.06 | uugDave | Checkout the "Headline:" section below, which explains each of many large coporations involvement in OSS. |
| 23:11.24 | uugDave | I want to buy Sweden. Who do I make the check out to? |
| 23:12.05 | uugDave | Another great quote: Sun's enthusiasm for WORA is, um, strange, because Sun is a hardware company. Making hardware a commodity is the last thing they want to do. |
| 23:12.05 | uugDave | Oooooooooooooooooooooops! |
| 23:12.05 | uugDave | Sun is the loose cannon of the computer industry. |
| 23:14.13 | uugDave | I am going to subscribe to this guy's newsletter. |
| 23:14.14 | uugDave | Wow. |
| 23:14.20 | uugDave | I never subscribe to newsletteres. |
