    I was reading an article about Richard Stallman, and I decided to look at his wiki page. While reading his wiki page, I saw in the section on his personal life mention of the fact that he is a professor at MIT, and he holds his lectures barefoot. So we have another famous barefooter.

    Cheers!

    Knowing RMS's philosophical slant, I can't say that this surprised me at all to be honest. :)
    He is probably hipper than many of the people on this site :p

    My friend has been ranting about how great he is for years. I guess I'll read his wiki. lol

    Speaking of wiki, they are accepting donations. I bet the wikipedia philosophy jives with most people here so if people here knew about donation possibilities ... Hmm

    Yes, RMS is a great great man. Soon when I am making 7+ figures, I will without a doubt donate money to worthy open source causes.

    Cheers!
