I didn't know that BSD was a version of Linux, never mind an "illegal hacking operating system". Oh well, live and learn. According to the article it was written by a Soviet hacker and it was based on "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US Government! > i think this article shows more of a lack of knowledge than "this guy is > out there". he's ill informed, and tends to write to a group of people > looking to have their fears confirmed, vs actually learning something. I think what this article shows is that the author is a trully magnificent troll. I particularly enjoyed the reference to lunix (not Linux, lunix, a C64 unix lookalike, probably named after the lunacy that definitely is a requirement for someone to engage in such an exercise of futility), although the advice to ensure that any firearms are fitted with trigger locks should your son engage in the occasional game of Quake was a close second. Having Tim O'Reilly's "Programming with Perl" next to Jon (sic) Katz's "Geeks" in the "black list" of "hacking manuals" was a nice touch... > it's a sad state, but this is what some kids and computer professionals > alike have to deal with. Indeed, I had to deal with my fair share of idiocy from our users until we putted those "NO ENTRY" signs at the door and made sure that the phones would be busy for anyone but a select few higher up the pecking order. But this is not idiocy; this is the creative work of a genius misspenting his talent. --kkonstan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
