A baby sitter is an employee. You can video tape her to your hearts content. In fact, depending you your state (like NY) you can even tape her on the crapper. No, you don't need her consent; you don't have to warn her.
I work on wall street. I'm on more cameras than the prez.
And yes, you can record her phone calls and internet traffic too. Company property... etc.
Instead of arguing with the author, lets focus on something useful. He writes:
"We've spent a lot of time making Linux techie-friendly - powerful, configurable," he says, "but not enough time making it easy for Aunt Tillie to use." Why should Linux try to lure Aunt Tillie? "Because," Raymond says, "dat's where da money is."
Well, I couldn't care less about Aunt Tillie I'm a programmer. Note, I'm not a developer. Developers, IMHO, are people who need pretty little drag and drop silliness to get their work done. It may be that they need these "IDEs" because they really can't program or it may be that when a manager says "The SVP of Marketing promised The Big Customer delivery by this afternoon" developers need these drag and drop tools to meet deadline, it doesn't matter. Developers are the people who care about Aunt Tillie and her OCD need for cute WYSIWYG apps, and to a developer Linux sucks.
Why should we care? Because were ever the developers go Aunt Tillie follows, NOT the other way around. Remember, Aunt Tillie couldn't spell computer before she learned about Quicken. Now she changes banks because they don't support online bill paying. She thought AOL was a country music station until her daughter went off to college and forced her to learn how to email. Now Aunt Tillie can't live without v-mail images of her 18-month-old grand daughter, and she wants broadband so she can video stream with her sisters on the coast.
I'm a programmer and I think Linux has been and still is a beautiful programming platform, but it has a long way to go before it's can claim to be a good development platform, and we need the developers if we want Aunt Tillie.
How do we turn Linux into the most powerful development platform ever built? How do we make it so powerful even MS Windows developers will want to work on it?
A man kills my family and burns down my home and you want me to understand him. NO! He's going to die. There isn't a triple canopy rain forest protecting Afganistan. Look at Desert Storm. Technology rules! We own the night. You can run, but you can't hide from thermal imaging.
Like the bishop said "kill them all, God will know his own."
No, I'm not being confrontational. I used to work in the WTC. I'm some who lost family and friends last week. I want Afganistan turned into a glowing pile of glass.

It's the most logical because, if all you do is watch your new bundle of joy 24/7, that's exactly what you'll do inside of a month.
No, his neighbors pre-teen daughter(s) and he'll claim their exempt because it's art.
Only a marketing slime would come up with this.

Sorry but we've heard your song before. Isn't it called "Peace in our time"
I hate to break it to you, but we can wipe them out. We simply need the will.

Who cares? Afganistan is allowing him to operate from their country. They are the enemy.
When ever we attack, we TRY to limit civilian casualties. These bastards deliberatly attack civilians. That is the difference.
