I'm not a big RMS fan, but I'd pay to see him talk.

He's accomplished far more than perhaps anyone on HN. Like it or not, he started and nurtured all this (Free Software/OSS).

lol, I was also thinking about loudspeakers before I read the post.

But serious: I hate it when they use party (subwoofer and all) speakers for speech. Every plosive will shake the room. It's very annoying and tiring to listen to.
