Yes, it was really wrong. If I should ever desire to post a document entitled "How to make LSD in your basement, for fun and profit" I would hope my right of free speech would protect me. It should also be expected that our law enforcement officials understand the difference between reality and fiction as this distinction pertains directly to legality. Can you imagine the outcry if John Grisham or Aaron Spelling were to be arrested because a theme in one of their works would be criminal if not fictional.
Were the conversation really veered off topic was at Aboutlinux not Slashdot. Rob also has the decency to label his rant as such. He even has the decency to invite the reader to skip his diatrabe.
I am a male engineering student and single parent. Up until this semester I have been unable to use my states aid program for student parents. Often women from 2 income homes in my courses were having there childcare and tuition paid by the state. While I qualified for no benefits. Yet my classes remain 90% male. There are programs in place to address this "problem" and often they go to far. Often they cross the boundry into reverse discrimination. Women are a minority of the engineering majors because the majority of women are not interested in engineering
not accurate guages of linux usage for many reasons. A sold linux distrubution may install entire networks. I have 3 linux boxes at home and another 3 at work. They were all installed from copied cds. None of these machines would be included in these figures although they all came on line in 99. The actual number of boxes running linux may be unknowable and higher then we think.
