Got visions of saving the world? Every now and then it takes spending some time in someone else's world to realize you don't always have all the answers. To some of us, that isn't just a blow to our egos...it's a sea change in the way we perceive ourselves and our role in the little world we've created.

Relevance: 4.47
"The more I think about it, the more I am concerned that the"World Domination 201" plan at work here is more about the domination of a yet another mixed operating system and not the world domination of software freedom."

Relevance: 4.45
At LinuxInsider, we've been busy these past few weeks trying to bring you all the most important news from the world of our favorite operating system, as we always do. But it turns out we missed something. It wasn't until we began compiling our Linux Starter Kit -- which we're fervently hoping will help show more of the world the light that is Linux -- that we discovered it: Lindependence 2008.

Free software and world peace

10/30/2006  I
Relevance: 4.42
Somebody recently noted that, what with all the bombing and killing and tyrannical madness going on in the world, how can we waste all this time talking about free software? Surely there's more important stuff to worry about? Well, they’re absolutely right that there are bigger problems in the world. When I get a chance to do something more direct about it, I plan to.

Relevance: 4.28
Hands Across America, Live AID, the Concert for Bangladesh, and so on. The American (and world) public has witnessed one feel-good event (and the ensuing scandals) after another. Each one manages to assuage our guilt about the world's problems, at least a little. Now these folks think that any sort of participation in these events, or even their good thoughts about world poverty and starvation, actually help. Now they can sleep at night. It doesn't matter that nothing has really changed.
