How the fuck does Richard Stallman make money? I know he squats in his MIT office and all, but he doesn't even take a paycheck from the FSF. How the hell does he eat?

His entire body runs on FOSS. He does not need food for he is RMS. He does not need love for he has C and LISP. All hail RMS.

From what I saw in a stream from him on an university in some undisclosed place using proprietary video streaming software, at the end of his conferences he auctions a toy plush. He got $30 for one on that stream. He only auctioned one.

He gives talks now and then, maybe he gets a fee for speaking.
RMS makes a little money from speaking and he is a very cheap person by choice. He says he doesn't need much money to survive and most of his money just goes into the FSF.

Well, he doesn't strike me as a big drinker so I guess that's not too bad. No room service is a little much...is it one of those hotels that at least provides breakfast or an evening meal?

Glad that he got that grant, he certainly deserves it. As for the other link, suppose I was right.
I downloaded one of his videos once and watched it, was about two hours long. He seemed like a very clever guy. Next time he's in town I'll go see him in the flesh if I can.

Yeah, I saw that. I've heard tales of his legendary uncleanliness.
I don't think that has any bearing on his code writing skill/evangelising linux I'd just like to interject,. Many great artists and writers for hundreds of years didn't wash either, yet we can still enjoy their works.

They mention this because they are implying that RMS is mentally imbalanced and by association, the rest of RMS's ideas can be disregarded.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAA!!!
you think your tough huh?
one word THE FORCED INDENTATION OF CODE.
i have taken out two mission critical applications at the same time in less than 5 seconds i have been training for 3 years.
also enterprise grade best practices.
your compiler might be bigger than me,but i know mine is smarter and quicker.
my compiler is 130 kb pure lean code.
one keystroke and i'll overflow your buffers.
your the one whose a nerd.i can optimize CFLAGS anytime i want you probably haven't ever touched CFLAGS before.
you probably have sex with your computer.
you don't even know me,and you don't want to.
you'll be lucky if your even worth my attention one look at my code and you'll dissappear forever.
though i'd be hapy to humiliate you in front of all your friends.
btw IM the expertest.
i have worked in maine, new hampshire, new york,utah, colorado,florida,bahamas.
never indented my code!
im undefeated in competitive obfuscation of code.
im on my way to IOCCC.
go ahead and come step anytime you want.b*tch

He might be eccentric, but he's far from unbalanced. You and I know this, no point trying to convince others here though. I imagine it's a polarising issue.
In real analysis, the symbol \infty, called "infinity", denotes an unbounded limit. x ightarrow \infty means that x grows without bound, and x o -\infty means the value of x is decreasing without bound. If f(t) ≥ 0 for every t, then
