Alright, this is a great release after a long week.

I will add:

Lisp contains an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of RMS.

[hollywoodcole]

Richard Stallman's left and right hands are named "(" and ")"

[patrickg-zill]

The shaven beard of Richard Stallman can be used to cure cancer. But RMS has never shaved, even once.

[bayareaguy]

Please don't tell me he's supporting Huckabee now too.

[ardit33 → bayareaguy]

no, he supports kuchinich. The democrat version of huckabee

[alaskamiller]

Seriously, how do I meet Richard Stallman? Does he just hang out at MIT?

[pc → alaskamiller]

Yep.

[tjr → pc]

Well, sometimes, yeah. He travels a whole lot.

You might check his speaking schedule (linked somewhere on www.fsf.org) to see if he'll be in your area.

[kf → tjr]

He spoke at Pitt a couple years ago. I would strongly recommend that you hear him speak if you get a chance.

Oh hey! That's tomorrow!

[alaskamiller → alaskamiller]

Boo.... I should have went to this one :(

Richard Stallman scared the Unicode support out of Arc (because he doesn't use a browser?)

[benmathes]

RMS doubles the exponential base in Moore's Law every two years.

edit: the one about the ad-hoc bug-ridden implementation of RMS wins.

The last capitalist we hack shall be the one who sold Richard Stallman the computer.

[PStamatiou]

"When Richard Stallman makes a sudo command, he loses permissions."

oh man, this is better than bash

[kirubakaran]

This Matrix we live in is the chroot jail which RMS created.

I think that this thread is great.

But the last time there was a similar thread, there was a harshly negative reaction. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=60433 Have we as a community grown to accept lightweight, funny stuff?

I hope we have. It seems unlikely to ever take over the front page, so let's try and avoid taking over threads with complaints.

[dkokelley]

Here's one of my own.

Richard Stallman is Root. The only root. We only have the illusion of root.

[kajecounterhack]

Stallman is Soulja Boy.
