More From Joyce Carol Oates

There are for man only two principles available for a mental grasp of reality, namely, those of teleology and causality. what cannot be brought under either of these categories is absolutely hidden to the human mind. an event not open to an interpretation by one of these two principles is for man inconceivable and mysterious. change can be conceived as the outcome either of the operation of mechanistic causality or of purposeful behavior; for the human mind there is no third way available.

If an open source product gets good enough, we'll simply take it. so the great thing about open source is nobody owns it - a company like oracle is free to take it for nothing, include it in our products and charge for support, and that's what we'll do. so it is not disruptive at all - you have to find places to add value. once open source gets good enough, competing with it would be insane. we don't have to fight open source, we have to exploit open source.
Fighting Support Insane
