http://opensource.org/ No, seriously, it's just not loading for me, from multiple IPs and computers. D: I feared this day would come! T^T Come back to me, OSI.

If anything, I would be very glad if OSI died. Open Source doesn't need that bureaucracy.

What's wrong with the OSI? I have an opinion on Stallman and the FOSS crowd but don't know much about the OSI crowd.

It's bureaucratic and doesn't really do anything. At least the GNU folks do stuff.

There are excesses in every field, and I believe that the FSF is one of them. Some companies (like NVIDIA) have a huge advantage by not releasing their drivers.

Blocking "Non-free" Javascript code (http://www.fsf.org/tasks/noscript) comes in my books as excessive. I use Linux because it does what is necessary, and non-free drivers and software are a large part of this.

Sorry for the OT but, I thought Nvidia has a huge advantage because their drivers are better.
