schestowitz"What "real world" things can't you get done with free software, Trevor? Are those things worth giving up your privacy and control of your computer? I live in the real world and do just fine without non free software, which I only have to use at work because other people made bad decisions that I can't undo. "Apr 20 09:28

schestowitzWell, Will, using skype to talk with your family, that's a real world thing that you cannot do with free software. Yes, there is software that does exactly what skype does... but what are the chances that your contacts are on GNU FreeCall? Are you seriously going to make every one of them go through the hastle of installing some obscure piece of software?Apr 20 11:19
schestowitzDon't get me wrong. I am a staunch open source software advocate... because I believe in freedom. Part of that freedom is the freedom to use non-open source software. Any system that does not allow me to use any sort of software that I want to use based on the license is not MY system. It is one that has been restricted by pious zealots. I left Christianity behind at the age of 19, I don't need another religion.Apr 20 11:19

schestowitzmy body is f*ed up... there was the Mr. Fitness competition, so I hurt my shoulder (same injury as Mike's), then had hardships associated with excessive running. I've totally recovered; the neck thing was very minor and the knee just needs some rest from the running. I'll be crowned Mr. Fitness 2012 soon...Apr 20 14:39
schestowitzI'm going to come back online at about 11 PM tonight, then do lots of blogging that's long overdue, after a good workout and sauna... I hardly find time for that anymore :./Apr 20 14:39

schestowitz(23:02:29) Roy: some certain material things can be symbolic of something, like jewllery that we wear for life and helps remind us of particular moments... like some old objects we got from our grandparents and has sentimental valueApr 20 23:07
schestowitz(23:04:34) Roy: You know the feeling when your famiyl wears something you bought them, like a shirt?Apr 20 23:07
schestowitz(23:06:40) Roy: the "Value" per se if what we consider it to be worth. In a land of LOTS of diamonds, they are of no value. If we can just BUY something our grandma WORE, then that too would be replaceable. Scarcity defines the real value of stuff, and some stuff is so scarce that it's irreplacable. The loss of a person too can be like that, because each person is unique.Apr 20 23:07
schestowitzqu1j0t3: planet Earth is scarceApr 20 23:07
