Oh very nice.  I assume you're volunteering to write all the world's software
for free from now on, to make this plan of yours work?

Those of us who program for a living work just as hard as anyone else and have
every right to expect payment from those whose lives are made easier by our
work, unless we specifically choose to give our property away for free.  I
suppose you think everything should be free?  Or is it just software, because
that's what you personally like to steal?  Do you think it'll be OK for people
to make you work for nothing after you graduate?

I hate to break it to you, but ARPA stopped running the Internet many years
ago.  You'd think someone who hates the US government so much would know that.

The S:N ratio of this list has really taken a dip lately...
