<rant mode> ...and home of the depraved?
So Red Hat has had to link to a server outside the US to explain a kernel security patch? Just because the people that found the vulnerability are outside the US and copyright belongs to them? http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-158.html Link from the above errata page: http://www.thefreeworld.net/non-US/ An attempted explanation? http://www.thefreeworld.net/faq.php Hardly. Add to that the DMCA case against Sklyarov (sp?) and ElcomSoft may become even more laughable because he can't get a visa to testify in a case he's legally required to attend as a witness? A case stemming from his authoring software that is _legal_ in his home country? http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=2400 Just what the hell follies have Goofy and the rest of his Hollyweird friends, and the music industry, really seduced the land of my birth into? Maybe this isn't entirely off topic since this is a mailing list for those of us that use (worship at the temple of) free/open-source software? In any case sorry to waste the bandwidth people. I just felt a pressing need to rant. <\rant mode> -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org I've spent almost all of my life with highly intelligent men. They're not like other men. Their spirit is great and stimulating. They hate strife; indeed they reject it. Their inventive gifts are boundless. They demand devotion and obedience. And a sense of humor. I happily gave all of this. I was lucky to be chosen and clever enough to understand them. -- Marlene Dietrich, on her friendship with Ernest Hemingway
