Prince Harry, the Count of Montecito, turns Silicon Valley startup exec with first job based in 21st Century

Re: Name?

All of european kings were highly intermarried, btw. Including the Russian one.

A Failure Of Government

One would assume that SIS and SeS would give some serious advice to the highest levels of governments then and now. But apparently these princes do not get proper counsel by experts of the government business.

They should have posted Harry as a military attachee to some remote country, where the journalists dont venture out. Also, they should have told him to shut up more often.

And the other prince, he walked right into a foregn intel trap. How incompetent is SIS these days ?

Re: During my decade in the military,

At least he took some personal risk and surely he was not the "decider" here. You should ask the media people why we are still occupying Afghanistan. The war cause (terrorists) has long been wiped out. Now they have found 27 more reasons to occupy that nation.

Free Software Foundation urged to free itself of Richard Stallman by hundreds of developers and techies

Re: Yesterday's trailblazer is tomorrow's bigoted embarassment

In other words: distrust against claims of "progress" is highly rational. The progressive bodycount is at something like 100 000 000 just in the 20th century.

Re: Let this be a warning to all decent people

What are the sins of RMS ?

What are the sins of Tony Blair ?

What are the sins of GWB ?

How many people died due to to the actions of a certain noble prize winner ?

This whole thing is an exercise in anti rational behaviour.

Re: To stop using the GPL is a knee-jerk and bizzare reaction.

These folks should not be stopped from hurting themselves. Let them do that.

Re: such audacity

Welcome to the zealotry of extremists.

Re: Here we go again.

Or maybe he just defended his mentor and friend ?

Yeah sure. Your post sounds like the F.U.D. spread by a certain megacorporation which sells closed source software.

Welcome to the Brave New World.

Re: Let this be a warning to all decent people

Surely we must believe you. Not.

Re: Let this be a warning to all decent people

Richard has made himself some enemies in the world of software business. They deployed their woke stormtroopers to get him.

Re: Is there anything more pathetic than the self appointed offence takers?

Mr Stallman has great achievements. He is spot-on on quite a few subjects concerning the computer/Software industries, excessive government espionage and also out of control warmongering. Is he a god, a saint ? Probably not.

The witchhunt by the woke mob must be countered. That is also free speech.

Re: Oh how the woke wimper

Yeah, sure. Except that we have exactly this case here. Richard Stallman is witch-hunted and you downplay it.

Re: Oh how the woke wimper

That is only true if we allow the woke mob and their media mouthpieces to do that. What YOU can do is to avoid media outlets which are on the side of the mob.

Re: Oh how the woke wimper

Welll said. Fascism 2021 is people who burn and smash in the streets. As it was then.

The Woke Mob And DollarSoft

They want to destroy a man of great achievements. Richard Stallman defended his Mentor and friend, which is commendable. The accusations against Marvin Minsky are hearsay. Also, why is nobody talking about Bill Clinton, who apparently also visited the "pedo island". Is it because Clinton is on the "correct"/left side of the political propaganda ? Is it because Clinton is well connected to circles of power and big money ?

Pat Gelsinger’s Intel will evolve from lone wolf to touting modular systems-on-packages with third-party foundry collaboration

Benn There, Done That

IBM tried it.

HP tried it

Both failed.

Will Intel make it happen ?
