Stallman is coming in a week to my university. What should I ask him

1. Does he have a gf
2. Would he like one
3. Would it matter if she's a girl (male)

>>60580117
isnt he like a pedophile or something

Ask him if he ever tried Gentoo

Ha much dedicated amount wram needed for installing guntwo?

>>60580127
>ayy
Nope

>>60580105
What proprietary software would he use?

Ask halfway through the talk if he can hold it in spanish.

See, the problem is if it's too much of a meme it's going to be boring. You could ask him whether you should install gentoo, and he'd answer something along the lines of "gentoo is free software, so if it suits your needs go ahead provided you don't install proprietary packages".

It needs to be something that will provoke a meme response or else it's not worth it. Something that would make him chimp out or put him at a loss for words (and record it if you can), because if it's something where he's just going to give a funny answer it can just be asked by email.

>>60580240
>mfw he explicity said in the main site of the event that the lectures WILL be in english

Take care in advance and prepare a question including each one of these: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html

Also >>60580117 would be obscenely relevant to /g,/ as we'd either see, depending on the answer, mass suicides or mass emails begging to be his gf (male)

>>60580259
This

>>60580322
This actually. This might set him off on a lecture; the more wrong words you use and the better you trigger him the better. Record his response if at all possible, and post it here for copypasta purposes.

Ask him if the CIA NIGGER FAGGOTS are coming after him now that Terry is kill.

>>60580105
Where do babies came from?

Borrow a MacBook and sit extremely close to him. Ask a lot of questions abount Unix and talk about your Unix experience but say Linux every single time and see if he waits for you to finish or strangles you.

ask him if he ever installed gentoo

Ask him why he decided to use the acronym "Gentoo's Not Unix."

>>60580105
Ask him if using GPL compatible licenses with GPL projects is morally justified.

>>60580127
Yes

Ask him what he ate off of his foot a few months back. There's a vid where he's picking at his foot and then eats whatever he picked off

>>60580105
Ask him if his autism has at all helped him in his career

UFMG?

>>60580322
>https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html

I would simply like to take your time for one bit. What you're alluding to as Linux, is in actuality, GNU/Linux, or as I've of late taken to calling it, GNU + Linux. Linux isn't an operating setup unto itself, but really another free section of a completely functioning GNU setup made practical by the GNU core libraries, shell facilities and necessary setup components completing a full OS as described by POSIX.

There are numerous users use a altered edition of the GNU setup daily, but do not know of it. By a particular series of events, the edition of GNU which is widely utilized now is often called Linux, and this userbase do not know that it is practically the GNU setup, produced by the GNU Project.

There is in fact a Linux, and this population do have it installed, but it is simply a part of the setup they use. Linux is a kernel: the part of the setup that distributes the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating setup, but relies on the rest of the system; it can only function in the structure of a whole operating setup. Linux is most commonly utilized in combination with the GNU operating setup: the whole setup is practically GNU with the addition of Linux, or GNU/Linux. Every one of the supposed Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

45 nm is 10 years old, which is ancient history when it comes to semiconductor fabrication.

Ok, maybe not ancient history, but it would cost a mere fraction of the 8 billion dollars previously mentioned. And compared to the fab, everything else is pretty cheap.

>>60582812
Try 180 nm, that's the crap they use to make microcontrollers and stuff. That's cheap. 45 nm is still a world of hurt if you have a tight budget.

>>60583181
How much is a "mere" fraction though? 8 million dollars is 0.1%, but it's still out of reach of anyone who isn't rich, and also generally out of reach of practically any crowdfunding project. Sure, the threshold was lowered from "super-rich" to just "rich" but it's nowhere near enough.

Also how good can you make a 45nm processor? Even if you could crowdfund several hundred thousand for a good open-source processor, you'd probably have a lot more trouble if it was basically core2duo-tier, struggling to run much beyond a web browser and xfce.

>>60583373
Cheap and useless unless you are just trying to get a burner laptop for your CP business, and don't want NSA hardware backdoors but don't need to do more than basic ftp and irc.

If you're a freetard like rms, you're probably allergic to GUIs and all kinds of bells and whistles anyway.

180nm is Pentium III tier, which is pretty much what a RPi or similar hardware is comparable to. Power draw will be high, but you should be able to do some decent computing on that, provided you're not running on batteries.

Under the open-source ideology, software developers make money from providing support to customers, rather than from the product itself. While this is absolutely fine...
a) Doesn't it incentivise developers to insert flaws into their products?
b) Doesn't this make it harder for one-man companies to create software, since they'd have to install it themselves, and wouldn't this in turn favour large corporations with their own dedicated support teams, and doesn't that in itself contradict the free software philosophy?

not that i doubted the other anon (stallman seems like a pederast piece of shit to me), but i wanted to see for myself. here you have it.

"Dubya has nominated another caveman for a federal appeals court. Refreshingly, the Democratic Party is organizing opposition.
The nominee is quoted as saying that if the choice of a sexual partner were protected by the Constitution, "prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia" also would be. He is probably mistaken, legally — but that is unfortunate. ****All of these acts should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness.*****
Some rules might be called for when these acts directly affect other people's interests. For incest, contraception could be mandatory to avoid risk of inbreeding. For prostitution, a license should be required to ensure prostitutes get regular medical check-ups, and they should have training and support in insisting on use of condoms. This will be an advance in public health, compared with the situation today.
For necrophilia, it might be necessary to ask the next of kin for permission if the decedent's will did not authorize it. Necrophilia would be my second choice for what should be done with my corpse, the first being scientific or medical use. Once my dead body is no longer of any use to me, it may as well be of some use to someone. Besides, I often enjoy rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants).

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.

Say that paid nonfree programs are better and more secure. Call it Linux, or "that penguin program"
