samuel337 | Shared With: Everyone - Jul 07 2008 | software, microsoft, free, open source"They are systematic symptoms of a deeper wrong which most people don't recognise: proprietary software. Microsoft's software is distributed under licenses that keep users divided and helpless. The users are divided because they are forbidden to share copies with anyone else. The users are helpless because they don't have the source code that programmers can read and change."
Surprisingly reasonable, but there still isn't an particularly viable alternative business model. Support puts the focus in the wrong place, as do services often. Why is software different anyway; do we expect Coke to provide their recipe publically? Maybe our economic system is the issue...

I wonder if you can get close enough outside to be in range to use it... I know the Melbourne lounge is upstairs, which makes it a bit more difficult (especially with the posh, arrogant prick there), but the Brisbane one's not.
Now if only they can match the HK International Airport, and possibly others, who with PCCW offer free wifi anywhere in the airport.
