  • I don’t understand the comparisons people make between OSS and comunism. Comunism is a flavor of old-world authoritarianism, based upon the idea that mankind is incapable of choosing the right thing, so the right choice is instead mandated by law. OSS’s emhasis on freedom, choice, and the lack of any kind of governing authrorty or social dogma, as well as the inherent trust in the majority public to choose the right (to donate or contribute) has a lot more in common with liberalism than comunism.






  • I mean, you see it a lot in local or low to mid budget network TV. They dress up the laptop to make it look like apple hardware (usually a pear logo instead of an Apple), but when you get a glimpse of the DE, it is clearly neither windows nor apple.

    Tv writers and other liberal arts types tend to be cult-like in their devotion to apple, but I guess network TV prop departments have decided apple is too expensive, and installing windows is too much of a hassle.
