Then they're not that bright. Work for someone else. There's nothing you can buy and immediately make money with anyway. If they actually believe that then they're even bigger idiots.
The Corp pyramid drawing was so dang true ... but it’s really painful when a carbonated drink shoots out your nose.
Open source is not stupid. Open and closed source serve different purposes. Closed source: When you develop your proprietary trading software. Open source: When you develop an operating system or software which could be used by everyone. You cannot possibly develop alone and it should be co-developed and made available to everyone. Example, Linux and Web browsers.
