    I will dance as SCO sues Linux out of existence. Linux is used by terrorists, and communiststs. It is a gateway to Un-American activities. Linux must die.

    That's what subscribers see when a story is posted in "The Mysterious Future". Posting is generally not allowed.

    This must either be a bug, or else y'all got free subscriptions, in which case I'm complaining. ;)
