Re: [gNewSense-users] further inane comments by me (or if you were offended then this might help some)

Hi,

i am not a programmer and i am very busy.

But may this can help.

If someone have a bug and would like that some else solve it, why he
don't give something like dukedollars, real money, for the solution
(gnewsense could be the transactor).

Since years i already think, some people have time, others have the
knowledge and others have the money. Way don't connect this thinks.

I am paying much money for lincens programs from adobe and Microsoft. If
there would by somethink like:

I pay x dollors if someone programm this.

And some else get the money, if he can.

I think this is the problem from free as free dome, everybody wants to
live from his work. And maybe a got programer would take ab bug just out
of this vie.

Richard
