College Police Think Using Linux Is Suspicious Behavior

FutureDomain writes "The Boston College Campus Police have seized the electronics of a computer science student for allegedly sending an email outing another student. The probable cause? The search warrant application states that he is 'a computer science major' and he uses 'two different operating systems for hiding his illegal activity. One is the regular B.C. operating system and the other is a black screen with white font which he uses prompt commands on.' The EFF is currently representing him."

    About your sig, "science controls nature / religion controls humans"... may I ask what school of thought you are from?

    Science interprets nature. Religion interprets interactions between God and humans.

    God controls nature. Wickedness controls human hearts, which in turn control humans.

    (For the purposes here, I define wickedness as the desire of every human to be functionally a little god, to have all the benefits of godhood, and all the powers thereof; a terribly disordered attempt to fulfill their creation in the image of god).
