That's always on, I'm married...

Seriously, I have just already substained this thesis on italian
forums, and apart from flames I could get no meaningful objections,
just silence or grumpy/sulky "Yeah, you're probably right..."

I am also preparing to write a real article on this for some magazine,
so yeah, I do have the asbesto suit nearby.

The problem is that, to make any effect, it should be something widely
read even (above all) by teenagers, including those not using
Linux. Note that by "make any effect" I mean actually raising
awareness and incouraging sound behavior, ie the common good, not
(only) my wallet. Any pointer to possible English language magazines,
anywhere in the world? TIA

I stand by what I already said in another thread: clear thinking and
the capability to synthesize and explain clearly will be scarce even
after the human race evolves into pure light, so individuals with
these qualities will always make it and be well paid (be it bucks or
photons), if they work hard.

Ciao,
