About half way through the Naked Lunch and I'm thuroughly enjoying it even though I have zero idea wtf is going on.

We've got some advocates at my work for putting it in the body instead of the subject line, but I do find it essential to have the ticket number available in the short history.

I think it sounds somewhat rediculous that Toyota and not the NHTSA gets to dictate how the source code will be reviewed. Yet another example of how we don't really give agencies sufficient teeth to regulate the various companies.

If a car company can't submit 100% of the source running on a vehicle for public audit or place that code in the public domain, then their vehicles shouldn't be allowed on Federal highways. Simple as that.

@tadzik @rysiek Canonical would like to have a word with you.

Things like bandcamp will just keep happening if we continue rely on start-up style privately held corporations to handle distribution. Their goal is always going to be to either get bought out by the big fish, or join them.

What we need are artist cooperatives. If the platform itself is owned by the artits, it can't be sold out from underneath them.
