Add to that "Hackers are criminals" :) This was what was said at an inauguration ceremony by an imminent personality from CSI. Hes ex-something of CSI. I was going to post about it on this list but saved it in my drafts folder since I dont have his exact name and qualification. Stallman, Torvalds and the rest are all criminals. Lock them up and throw away the keys! I really dont get it what these people think of themselves when they make such blunt statements! Does he even know the meaning of what a hacker is? Apparently not :/ > My point is not to make fun of the professor as I believe many do not > really even make an attempt to understand the history of anything, haha...may be we should invite him/her to the next lug meet and flame them. :) > leave alone GNU/Linux.

Yes, thats why we should ridicule / embarrass / boo them so next time they check their "facts" 1 trillion times ( or more ) before they feed it to their audience! Just kidding about the flaming part.... ;) -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
