For personal reasons, I do not browse the web from my computer. (I also have not net connection much of the time.) To look at page I send mail to a demon which runs wget and mails the page back to me. It is very efficient use of my time, but it is slow in real time.
Richard StallmanPaying isnโt wrong, and being paid isnโt wrong. Trampling other peopleโs freedom and community is wrong, so the free software movement aims to put an end to it, at least in the area of software.

Richard StallmanIf you can find a host for me that has a friendly parrot, I will be very very gladโฆ DON'T buy a parrot figuring that it will be a fun surprise for me. To acquire a parrot is a major decision: it is likely to outlive you. If you don't know how to treat the parrot, it could be emotionally scarred and spend many decades feeling frightened and unhappy. If you buy a captured wild parrot, you will promote a cruel and devastating practice, and the parrot will be emotionally scarred before you get it. Meeting that sad animal is not an agreeable surprise.
