As I’ve been working to get some results done for my Ph.D. thesis, I’ve stumbled across the problem of having different data obtained through different software.

One man, one lame ideology

I just read on Slashdot that the famous RMS has now sung something against the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay (no link, I’m not giving it hits). All this while being in Cuba, for all heavens, that’s not even remotely a democracy. I don’t deny the fact that that place may have been ground for abuses, but I find it hypocritical that RMS did that in a place where people are imprisoned on a whim and human rights are not upheld constantly.

But no, facts are too hard to bear. Better to rely on some fundamentally broken ideology (if someone uses Free Software, it’s a friend, no matter if they imprison innocents and torture them). And this guy should be the head of the Free Software movement? Heaven forbid!
