Even if it ain't Bruford and Wetton it's still really cool. ;)
(at least it ain't Belew;)

I guess I should say I don't know nuthin about Belew other than his
sound wasn't anywhere near what -I- wanted to hear. That's all.

Punched cards are from the 1700s, to replace perforated paper tape
to control textile looms. In the 1800s Babbage though of using them
to control a mechanical calculator. Hollerith used them for data
processing for the 1890 US census.

And, some time before and during WWII, IBM sold some "data processors"
(which used punchcards) to Nazis to catalogue who's who in Germany.

Ever wondered how Nazis knew who was a Jew, who wasn't and who's a
half-Jew? Well, now you know.

So they can Terrorize the rest of the World.
They are the ones sending the viruses and Spam ****.
Linux Red Hat, BLACK HAT, Sasser, Hackers invading Fellowship with a
Virus Immune System.
Nobody Writes Viruses for Linux, and they only started doing Apple.
Used to be a Crusade against "Big Brother.
The "Industry" used Windows, People didn't.
Different now, People use Windows, Most "PEOPLE" have little idea over
the point and click.
But the Crusaders people used to protect, turned on us the people, and
use their powers to deprive us of fellowship, from behind Linux running
from remote Mail Bots.
Ever been "PLONKED", Key Word, you got placed in the attack files.
Noticed the Gibberish Posts lately, Sassers, New Game in Town forgot the
exact name now I think it is Zglatin, anyway Neo Nazi thing Sig File get
it Zglatin, They were Running the Brag in the Sig Files for a Long time.

LOL! Gods some people are dumb.

You mean like this one?
Viruses were never a "Crusade against big brother". They were just a bunch
of kids being disruptive for the sake of it. When they grew UP, they
realised they could use their talents to make some money and botnets were
formed spreading spam through the internet more efficiently than ever
before.

And for the last time, virus writers are NOT linux users, (in general, I
suppose there might be one or two, there're bad apples in every bunch) the
only reason linux isn't targetted is the security measures in linux were
designed in from the beginning rather than added as an afterthough and it's
a smaller target. Virus writers go for easy targets first. Linux isn't easy
to crack.

Really? I'd think an interest in computing would lead these brainiacs towards the *nix
world at some point and they would have something new to amuse themselves with :)

Its more likely that the issue is closed source vs open source.
Anyone can examine linux and see whats up.
Not me of course but I hear some folks can understand that stuff :)

HTH

Needed a laugh. Thanks for putting someone in their proper place.

You know, sooner or later, some of those folks who are too ignorant to
comprehend the real issues concerning Open Source FREEdom, vs. the dark
side, will come over and join us, and then, we will again be quoting the
'rtfm' at them, all over again.
