...And if some poor doctor did the same these days, regardless of how many millions of lives it might save, he would be labeled a "Dr. Mengele" and removed from medical service, prosecuted, etc.

Have they matured to the point where they actually work as advertised now? I have tried both of them, but admittedly not in the last year.
I would have trouble chatting via AOL and Yahoo IM clients. I would either not see all of the message coming in, or they wouldn't see my comments. Unreliable = unusable, thus I uninstalled them.
Likely it was due to AOl and Yahoo screwing with their clients to prevent the multi-client SW from working. Even so - annoying. I would love to see all of the providers begin using a common client.
And fire is generally accepted as safe because it has limits and counters. Stone, water, etc.
If a nanobot meets the parameters of fire, being self-replicating and consumes other materials, etc. - it MUST have a natural limit and counter or it would become extremely dangerous.

With apologies for the original state of the posting, here is a new, revised one with full links (at least, most of them).
Summary:
1. Linuxgazette.com - originally founded by a group of volunteers.
2. SSC offered to host them, very generous and kind.
3. SSC voluntarily took over editing at some point.
4. Recently, SSC changed the entire look/feel of the site, trashed the articles at will, and basically started locking out the original founders.
5. the founders took their content to linuxgazette.net
6. SSC, in the form of linuxgazette.com, is unhappy with the.net folks for continuing to use the name. Sadly, SSC tried to trademark the name on Oct 23, 2003, the same day the founders announced the Fork.
Note on the forum links, to change the sort method, you have to edit the URL. The sort the link goes to is the standard one, to change it to the expanded list, use mode=2, etc.
The first link on the main article are the SSC guys' comments on this, and the second link is the linuxgazette founders (.net) replies to his comments.
Here is a link to the linuxgazette.net with their side of the story:
Here are two links to the linuxgazette.com forums - lots of discussion in here from both sides. Be warned that the.com folks WILL DELETE any posting with the linuxgazette.net address in it. The censor stuff as they see fit.
Note that if you browse around the forums, a lot of things are broken. To view the forums in expanded format, most recent postings at the top, add &mode=2 to the URL. For example:

IMHO - SSC should be ashamed for its bullying tactics. They should change the name of linuxgazette.com to something else, and give it back to the founders.
In my old 240MMX (formerly 133mhz, CPU upgrade from Evergreen), I had 64mb EDO RAM, and a Matrox MGA Millennium 4mb WRAM PCI Video Card with a Diamond Monster 3D VooDoo 3400 xl 2 PCI Add-On 4mb 3D Accelerator.
With this config, I was able to play Half-Life at 800x600 with nearly all of the options turned on, at an acceptable frame rate (25+).
If anyone wants to buy this rig, pay for shipping and I'll send it to ya with an AHA-2940 scsi card and a 1gb scsi HD, an NEC 6x cd-rom, and a few other things. I even upgraded the ram to 128mb EDO a few years back.

Do some research before you announce to the world that the US is continuing 'BIOWARFARE RESEARCH'.
This was originally done in Australia, and nobody accused THEM of biowarfare research.

I hope all of the Instant Message clients get combined into one - having four or five clients is insane!
The title of this slashdot article is very close to the title of an ongoing humor article on Tech Book Report website. "Meet Joe Bloggs"

Just thought it was funny.
Nice parallel.
