The initial phrase on the ChangeLog: 'I'm going to call this Slackware 10.1 beta 1, because we're at a state where things are relatively stable.' Read up here"

    The preferred method now, in all industrialized countries, to repress individuals engaged in activity that the government and powerful interests don't like, is to slap'em with a mental illness diagnosis. Then you fill'em full of powerful pyscho-active medication, which renders them incapable of doing anything which requires a high level mental focus and concentration.

    If they start causing trouble again, well, they must have stopped taking their medication!

    You know that they stopped taking the medication because anyone on that kind of medication is incapable of causing trouble, or doing anything of any significance whatsoever. So have your goons start harassing them with your secret, remote harassment technology ( http://www.geocities.com/mrmistermicko ) until they GET BACK ON THEIR MEDICATION and start behaving like good little boys and girls again.

    There is a secret, coordinated effort to destroy the open source movement. Government and powerful interests don't like it because they don't control it, and it allows foreign countries like China, Russia, etc. to obtain operating systems and software that don't have any secret NSA back-doors. Open source software gives the power of softwar technology to everyone, not just the rich. They DO NOT like that.

    Expect to see open source leaders like Volkerding to begin mysteriously manifesting symptoms of mental illnesses.
