And most of them kept their day jobs so they could support themselves while working on their new inventions.
The Wright Brothers ran a bicycle repair shop while they tried to figure out to get heavier then air flight to work, for example.

Throughout history there have been those who worked on new inventions, and personal cost to themselves, and often dependant on the gratitude of others, which while considered by many to be useless or impractical at the time, later provided a contribution to society. At the same time, there are many similar inventions that did prove to be relatively useless and fell by the wayside. Those who believe SymphonyOS is the former should contribute. Those who believe it's the latter should keep their disparaging remarks about Ryan's request for help to themselves.
