"Click, here to install third party unsupported (binary) device driver which may or may not destroy your service contract, desktop, personal settings, introduce a worm into your network and cost you your job".
Why would anyone want to take the chance of having 320x192 images pilfered from your camcorder stream uploaded to the internet?
I agree completely with the "The thinking here is backwards" post. I'm just taking cheap shots at the short sightedness of the article.
Open Source is Open Source why should it be any other way?

hmm... some how i belive that would be a preferable risk than

Please focus and stay on task with the discussion.
