He doesn't use a mobile phone, or mp3 player because they contain proprietory software. He didn't mention whether he has a landline phone. Or a television, or a microwave oven, or a washing machine or dishwasher. He did advise not buying a house or a car or having kids because they all cost money. What about a digital stills or video camera? Hey. If you don't have kids there's no memories worth keeping for prosterity.

I haven't been there, have you? Care to provide a transcript or a link to an audio file which would undermine your ruthless claims? I could easily make up something like "And Thusly Spake Stallman At <insert place here>". And even if he did give lousy or not so lousy advice, what about that? Get over it. You ought to be more concerned about Free Speech and The Bill Of Rights, which are seriously threatened anywhere in "the free western world", than about Stallman's ideas. Or face the perspective that even your ideas might one day be weighted solely on their commercial worthiness, or prosecuted on the basis of being "a threat to free interchange of goods" (for some value of good).

Now get out of my dreams.
