SCO Protest And Anti-Protest In Provo
a.ameri writes "On Friday, June 20, the Provo Linux Users Group decided to head on over to SCO's offices and hold a protest; information on the event, including pictures and press coverage, can be found on
the PLUG page. Among other things, the protesters claim that SCO employes came out and joined the event holding pre-prepared signs saying things like 'I love software piracy' and 'Try communism - use Linux.'" There are some funny shots linked here (thanks to reader lucif latum). Daddio64 points to the press covereage in the Deseret News and Provo Daily Herald.
Got bandwidth? Mad at SCO? Download a 5mb file from here or launch an unspecified number of wget processes:
wget sco.com/images/pdf/eserver/eserver_sysadmin.pdf
This will teach you to administrate the SCO OpenLinux server, the only officially novell-compatible Linux distribution.

That is why I mod before I post. Dumbass.

Modding then posting after you mod in the same story undos any moderation you've done in that story... 'least, it used to.

I dislike many politicians but making infantile insults based on their names isn't my style.

POT: IT DON'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT.

Okay, remember when you were 16 and got some alcohol? It was a big huge deal, you made a huge fuss about it, told stories about it, and generally acted immature.
Flash forward: now, you'll MAYBE drink a beer or have a few drinks, but unless you're a drunk you don't obsess over it, spend all your time thinking about it. You drink light beer, drink responsibly, try not to get wasted amoung your respectible friends, and are usually more interested in a conversation than your drink. You don't talk about your drink. You just drink.
Now: consider folks from Holland. You might not know this, but they prefer to mix tobacco with their pot when they smoke it, because it cuts down the smell and makes the experience more social and less -- whatever. Just like we drink light beer and not moonshine.
And I've seen a guy from Holland get passed a bong, and spend WAY more time finishing his conversation before he took a hit, whereas even your coolest American pot smoker will rather quickly take a toke.
In short, it is possible to have a healthy, mature, moderate, temperate view towards pot, and to use it in small amounts, watered down, and in a proper context. It's the incrimination which causes fienddom. Legalize it, and watch it become not too big a deal, at least amoung respectable successful people, except for "pot drunks".
Pot can be used responsibly like alcohol. The legalizers need to stop envisioning a world where it's okay to get smashed, and the demonizers need to chill. Just equate light beer == pot+tobacco.

Oh, mod points are so hard to come by. Well they might be for you seeing as how you are a troll AC. Are you one of those guys that got modded to 0 one too many times and now you are just posting as an AC so you can be a full time dickhead?

Yeah, reading the docs more carefully they say that moderation and posting can't be done in the same article, so oh well, chalk that one up to experience. I only used one mod point anyway and the author has a +5 soooo...it doesn't matter now. Thanks for not being a lamer about it like that AC up there.
