> Wow. > I think your letter of complaint would probably end up being about three > times the size of the article. Just about. Here was my 'complaint'. "The statements made in this article are factually incorrect. For one, SCO is not suing Linus Torvalds, they are suing IBM for alleged copyright infringement and breach of contract, for which they have shown no evidence. Second, most security experts who are monitoring this virus/worm agree that it is nothing to do with the lawsuit, and is in fact a financially motivated spamming attack, aimed at gaining control of vulnerable MS Windows machines so that they can be instructed remotely to send out untraceable spam e-mail. Finally, there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that MyDoom is in any way connected to the Linux or Open Source community. No one has as yet been "blamed", as you claim in the article, it is merely speculation, mainly by Darl McBride, the CEO of SCO. If you would like to see how real journalism works, please read the following article: http://www.ajc.com/business/content/business/0104/28worm.html As a Linux user, and an Open Source advocate, I would appreciate it if a correction was issued on that article after more research is done on your part." -- JoeHill ++ ICQ # 280779813 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only real cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas."-- Hunter S.
