"It is largely an ayn rand anarchist after school club for all white mall arcade raised nerds lacking in any real vision"
OK, a deconstruction. The writer considers (for reasons he does not make clear) that advocates of Open Source software are followers of the US novelist Ayn Rand. Rand was a curious figure who ran a small cult political movement at the end of the last century, called Objectivism, and wrote several awful novels. The writer thinks that Rand and her followers were anarchists. (I don't think they were). They are usually thought to be extremely right wing. The next phrase suggests that he thinks Open Source advocates are infantile. He says "after school club". That is, they are morally at least still at a level of needing to be under parental and teacher control, and their participation in Open Source is analogous to an after school club activity, strictly juvenile. "all white mall arcade nerds" They are all white skinned 'nerds', that is people with no social skills and an obsession with technology. I am not sure what their color has to do with this, but still.... An arcade is a sort of enclosure, and a games arcade will have lots of game machines in it, and a mall is a shopping mall. So he suggests that open source advocates have spent their youth in shopping mall corridors playing video games on machines, and that this is the extent of their culture. Not only that, they are white, and followers of Ayn Rand, and anarchists with it! Well. I hope that helps you understand the English. Understanding the thought is something I cannot help you with.... -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Apples-actual-response-to-the-Flash-issue-tp2075668p2122649.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
