“To get a bit more granular about it, here are a few questions
that the Linux and Open Source communities would do well to

resolutely anticommercial, openly available human-edited directory
of sites on the World Wide Web.” That’s in her current piece, which
describes the AOL Time Warner deal as “… two very wealthy old men
doing comb-overs on their balding pates, trying to look hip and
zippy but not quite willing to let go of the past.”
