WHAT'S HOT
Williams, Sam
"Free as in Freedom: Richard Stallman's Crusade for Free Software"
"
Before parting, Stallman handed me his "pleasure card,"
a business card listing Stallman's address, phone
number, and favorite pastimes ("sharing good books,
good food and exotic music and dance") so that I might
set up a final interview.
Stallman's "pleasure" card, handed to me the night of
our dinner.
The next day, over another meal of dim sum, Stallman
seemed even more lovestruck than the night before.
Recalling his debates with Currier House dorm maters
over the benefits and drawbacks of an immortality
serum, Stallman expressed hope that scientists might
some day come up with the key to immortality. "Now that
I'm finally starting to have happiness in my life, I
want to have more," he said.
When I mentioned Sarah's "crushing loneliness" comment,
Stallman failed to see a connection between loneliness
on a physical or spiritual level and loneliness on a
hacker level. "The impulse to share code is about
friendship but friendship at a much lower level," he
said.
