Re: Article: "Linux and the Asian PDA markets"

I'd call my friend Nate, who works on the LNX BBC project and knows more 
about the guts of GNU/Linux than I ever want to, and would charge me the 
time it takes to listen to him tell me what he's doing that I don't even 
begin to understand.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an 
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it 
to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the 
possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of 
it."  -- Thomas Jefferson
