My Life as Open Source

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

我其實很怕聽到人說「X的興起,會取代傳統的Y」這類的結論。

原因就如陳生講過,很多時東西要互相生存才能活下來。

說話多多又quotable 的法國佬Jean-Louis_Gassée 比喻仲貼題抵死:

Many people have said that the home computer will be the death of camaraderie at the office…Following that argument to its logical conclusion, you might as well say that masturbation should take the market away from sex…

    I really like the analogy. But I think the second part of the analogy does carry, sadly, an element of truth.
