Always worth revisiting are these two classics: /The coming war on general-purpose computing/ http://boingboing.net/2012/01/10/lockdown.html

Coming up, he'll probably talk for an entire hour when he gives a keynote at LibrePlanet 2017 on March 26. http://www.fsf.org/news/libreplanet-2017-keynote-announcement-author-and-tec...
I'm going to be live-streaming this at local hackerspace Skullspace that morning, guests will be welcome. http://skullspace.ca
