The text of the article mentions undercover cops... Someone you've probably talked to before is dispatch at 911... I've got a friend who's a dispatcher, and she very purposfully has a PO box because several dispatchers have been stalked and threatened in the past. (Some people don't like the answers they get when they want a cop sent out to a fenderbender or something like that as I understand it, demand name & badge, and then start stalking). With RealID? Nuh-uh.
Maybe you should read the article though, that's not what it says... It says SCO Linux customers "are not liable", as in they aren't breaking the law. They're crossing the street on a crosswalk in a green light, not jaywalking. It seems to say more to me that they've got that license legally, not that they're breaking the law and just wont get sued for it.
"SCO Group has assured its Linux customers that any company that's paying for Linux software and services from SCO Group is already paying for SCO's intellectual property."
Who's got the skinny directly from SCO's website that the article mentions?
None -require- you to setup a normal user account, but many suggest that you do. Debian, for as long as I've used it, always said, "You should. Do you want to?". RH6.1 does as well, I believe, but none of them are going to make you do it. They just assume you know what you're doing. As for/dev/floppy and/dev/cdrom, that's why we have/etc/fstab and magicdev:)
A friend of mine put it this way: "There exists a force called Gravity." This just says that what goes up must come down. I've read some of the novels Katz is talking about. Some that hit me the most however are Asimov's Foundation series and a more obscure book called 'The rise and fall of practially everybody'. If you can't grasp my opinion for the direction of the situation in the us, I'll put it the way it's been put a million times before. What goes up must come down. The Romans sure did, and nobody ever thought they would.
Get this in all of your heads now -- we Christians are NOT the Borg. We are individuals, and some of us think a little differently from each other.
The only problem is that to some people, they are. For some of us 'heathens', it's hard to go a day without being called such and told that we're wrong. I know a good many of Xtians that are good people, but I've met a lot that are complete assholes. There is a large tendancy to generalize here, and I feel for ya if you're called the borg when you're not. But some people like me tend to get defensive when told that they ought to convert, or perhaps in this case, see a game bent on morality. At the university that I go to, this is becoming more and more of an problem as issues become more and more polarized as each side gets defensive/offensive.
Basically, all I'm saying is there are a good number out there giving bad names to a lot of people, on all sides, and I wouldn't be surprised if some people are seeing this game as one of those groups giving everyone else a bad name and polarizing the whole situation.
