I found this post over at Brand X. It's one of the best ever answers to "what exactly we are demanding to do with that freedom?" Which is a dopey question to even ask, but it's a common mindset.
">I've been reading so many posts on this thread and others where people are talking about the freedom to hack their TiVo system. I am with you on the freedom part, but I'm a bit confused about what exactly we are demanding to do with that freedom?

"It's kind of like responding to someone who says "Any sexual stuff that consenting adults get up to in private is their business" by saying "Well, that's all fine, but just what kind of sex would we be talking about here? What if they did stuff I think is freaky? What if they were both guys? What if . . . " without realizing that the point is, it's their business how freaky it is. They're the ones consenting and doing, ergo it's their freedom at issue, not yours...."
Just being sarcastic. Linux Today can be hard to read if using a computer that does not have ads blocked, because of all the Microsoft advertising they accept.
Yes, those horrible ads are magnetic and force you to look at them. It's a shame, because Rufus' comment is excellent and deserving of more attention. Too bad about those magnets.
There are 6 computers here. 1 is a server without GUI. 4 of the other 5 have ads blocked. Oh well.

They truly deserve our pity. Cry for the children of the penguin.
(Well, I'll have to go use a computer that has the ads blocked, I guess.)
