blah, blah, blah...you have got to be kidding me with this "if you don't do it the way we do then you are evil" line of crap. there are more cultures in the world than yours. there are also cultures in this world that think if you eat hamburgers you are evil because cows are sacred. well I eat hamburgers and I don't call up telling them that they are freaks. they can believe in what they want as long as they don't try to push their beliefs onto me.
he probably brings up linux because everyone is bashing M$ for this mess. the real problem is the persons that are writing, or re-writing, the viruses. there are vulnerabilities in every OS, no matter what you are using. Linux is definately a better OS, but that does not mean that someone has the right to purposely write code that they know is going to crash your network. even if there ever existed an OS that was totally inpenetrable it still is up to the person setting up the system to make sure it is setup correctly so that it cannot be hacked into. but, if they set it up wide open, does that give anyone the right to go in and take it down? I don't think so. if you are the originator of the virus, or one of the many re-creators, I think the punishment should be very harsh. I have enough work to do, I don't want to have to drop everything just to clean up after your mess. 25 years in prison?? that is 25 I don't have to worry about you doing it again. and your cell mate will probably give you a good taste of the receiving end of some crappy software, (or would that be hardware??) ha ha...
