larry ellison has a bunch of jet fighters. bill gates has a quad xeon running windows 2000 built into his toilet. scott mcnealy has a yacht the size of an air craft carrier.

why doesn't the free software community have computers in our toilets? are we just losers?

I just don't buy the argument that because something is technically more powerful/elegant/designful, that we ought to give ourselves over to the way in which it is made. adobe can afford to pay people for slick fonts for exactly the same reason time warner can afford to pay for a million-dollar-a-day studio for their darling artists. and not entirely unlike the way the pentagon can afford to spend $100 on each bolt they stick on their jeeps.

I'll take my shitty liberated stuff any day.
