Remember this is Internet time (not to be confused with Swatch Internet time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time)) which is a whole different beast to normal time. I clearly remember both my dot-com coach and my advisory board telling me over champagne brunch that Internet time was at least 5 times normal time. This would make it 40 years ago, and not 8.


Stallman isn't a dog, or a computer, or a protocol, he's a human being, and 52 years of age does not equate to being "still a young man."


(slow clap)


What's a dot-com coach?


Probabaly some snake oil guy who tells how where to put your money wisely after the dot-com crash.


what are you talking about. Since when time goes at a different speed on the internet? Your champagne brunch was BS.
