The difference between deca-BDE and "a lof of other substances" is that it is bioaccumulative -- meaning that it will stay in your body and accumulate over time. Stay around computers enough and you may very well hit high concentrations of deca-BDE in your system.
From TFA:
"A few years ago, a company called Black Snow Interactive opened up a "levelling" service for the game Dark Age of Camelot. It had a digital sweatshop in Mexico; there, ultra-low-wage workers would click away at computers, playing the characters twenty-four hours a day to level them up."
There seems little doubt that SCO was targeted - illegally and unacceptably, lest anyone be in any doubt - because it has enraged many people devoted to the Linux operating system.
Where did he get "many" from? From my point of view, one malicious user writing a virus does not equal the majority of the Linux community.
In addition to research-grade and hobbyist software and hardware, some companies are beginning to sell more user-friendly stuff. Sensicast Systems in particular offers a couple of software products for Crossbow MICA2 sensor boards. Of particular interest is the Development System software which allows a user with Xbow nodes to configure them and aggregate data from them into a database -- great for people just wanted to try to get their own sensor network running. They also have their own "H900" wireless sensor net system that automatically does temperature and humidity sensing or pressure sensing.

Ermm, he(Orkut) was co-founder of the company (Affinity). So I doubt he was the one signing employment contracts. Writing them, maybe.
