Jury-Law books

"
For today's meal, Stallman has chosen a Cantonese-style
dim sum restaurant two blocks off University Avenue,
Palo Alto's main drag. The choice is partially inspired
by Stallman's recent visit to China, including a
lecture stop in Guangdong province, in addition to
Stallman's personal aversion to spicier Hunanese and
Szechuan cuisine. "I'm not a big fan of spicy,"
Stallman admits.
We arrive a few minutes after 11 a.m. and find
ourselves already subject to a 20-minute wait. Given
the hacker aversion to lost time, I hold my breath
momentarily, fearing an outburst. Stallman, contrary to
expectations, takes the news in stride.
"It's too bad we couldn't have found somebody else to
join us," he tells me. "It's always more fun to eat
with a group of people."
During the wait, Stallman practices a few dance steps.
His moves are tentative but skilled. We discuss current
events. Stallman says his only regret about not
attending LinuxWorld was missing out on a press
conference announcing the launch of the GNOME
Foundation.
