Man Tries To Live an Open Source Life For a Year 332
jfruh writes "Sam Muirhead, a New Zealand filmmaker living Berlin, will, on the 1st of August, begin an experiment in living an open source life for a year. But this is going way beyond just trading in his Mac for a Linux machine and Final Cut Pro for Novacut. He's also going to live in a house based on an open source design, and he notes that trying to develop and use some form of open source toilet paper will be an "interesting and possibly painful process.""

And when the girls do come a running Open source condoms therefore are going to be a much more "interesting and possibly painful process." I suspect.
I think in this case, I'd choose closed source condoms lest i get open sores.

I took a dump today.. Seriously this is just attention seeking, link bait. If I didn't know better I'd think it was a paid /. add.
Was it an open source dump? If not, we don't want to hear about your proprietary shit.
