Dave on Open Source
Dave‘s theory on why user’s want Open Source:
… software development process is an inexorable and never-ending battle against creeping idiocy caused by clueless programmers. It’s why users want open source. They’re tired of being controlled by programmers who don’t care about them.
He gets the creeping idiocy and clueless ness right but puts them to the wrong part of the food chain. Once again it is the practices of abusive corporations, and not just Microsoft the much loved Apple is equally to blaim along with others. The users and purchasers of software have grown used to the “screw you” and realise it feels much better when cash isn’t involved, kinda like sex.

What is a Just War?
I’m glad to have found St Thomas Aquinas’ Conditions for a Just War which I first remembered encountering during the first U.S. vs. Iraq War baci in ’90 and ’91. At the time I wanted to go on the record as being a concious objector, simply put my religon had to all for concious objection and I had to be on record with some leader of my religon that I was one. Being Roman Catholic concious objection is allowed if the War was an Unjust War as defined by the above link.

Personal Honesty
I had to admire it, the willingness to face himself down, to admit what a piece of shit he could be, which is, I think, the sign of a worthwhile person.

Dave on 9/11
Dave has some good Lessons of 9-11 on the bottom of the page. But this just really stuck out:
I think it’s that God doesn’t think we’re as important as we do.
