Red Hat has an NDA cooperation with Marvell for the wireless chips that they want to use for the One Laptop per Child-project. The idea of this is that both parties think Marvell will be more open in the future, but this is absolutely not the path they should walk, according to OpenBSD's Theo de Raadt. "I am getting really tired of 'open source' people who work against the open source community. Our little group can probably take credit for having 'opened up' more wireless devices than the rest of the community, and therefore we feel we have a better grasp of the damage OLPC has done here."

It may be acceptable where you live to disparage younger people to talk due to there age and its also tolerated to insinuate that others are on drug , but sorry , I dont stand for , nor tolerate it.
So my tone is based entirely on is answer and is more then appropriate.
Feel free to disagree with me , my bias and position , and the insult I make , I appologize to you for making this thread less bearable by my insult to another poster , but you wont make me retract or change my mind on this subject.
