FUD

People behaving ridiculously stupid scare me.
Novell is a cool company doing lots of useful stuff for open source software.
This kind of Hardcore-Zealotry that these protesters push for is definitely doing more damage than good. Being a bedroom-hacker, you might be able to live up to a truly enlightened software freedom asceticism. But everyone else, still […]

Voice Mail in Thunderbird?

We have Asterisk, an Open Source telephony software, and we have Thunderbird an Open Source Mail (and eventually Groupware) Client. Why did it never occur to anyone to integrate those two, by simply adding an integrated Audio Player into the Thunderbird Mail Client?

Striving for excellence…

…or bowing before the whiners?
That is the question!
I think that the Mozilla Corp. bowed before their lawyer whinies. But now the freetard whinies whine back at them.
Yeah that happens, when you start listening to whiners, they come back to haunt you, and BANG, you’ve lost your edge.
