And for God's sake, change your avatar picture to one that uses a correct aspect ratio. Why do you think I used to call you "squarehead" back in the day?

The name itself is a bit wet lettuce-y weak and a bit geeky sounding, but it could be worse. Because technology is only getting more pervasive these issues are taking over and affecting everything from human rights to food production to democracy.

While I agree that "Technology Rights" may be a good issue, should Roy be the once deciding those rights? Is he objective enough to look at all sides of the issues without watering things down to good vs evil? Would he support the right of people to create, sell, and purchase commercial software? I doubt it. A house with a crooked foundation can't be built up too high, so I don't think anything will change around here except for the name.
