Contrary to the corporate world, where firms have the responsability over their employee because they chose and pay them, the OSS community can not take the blame for each and any individual acting on his own, even when that individual thinks he shares the OSS movement spirit.

The world is full of idiots. Some of them run Linux, yes, because "OSS r wai betar tehn teh ms sh*te!!!1111" Those of us who bother to open our eyes can actually point out why and where OSS is better than closed software, and also why defacing web sites is a stupid idea.

Master Fu will be pleased when this stranger from the land of Woot returns, as he will surely have gained enlightenment to the ways of Unix.

Defacing web sites (intending good fun) is an excellent idea; it's just that WIKI's have a little learning curve. It's the fraud-in-turn around that makes people with cuffs get them out.

Hey you! Upload that uninstalled Oracle package back, it's 31 days old!

Okay, just some of the fraud, in cases where there's some sense to it. Hopefully the defacer can agree to suffer buying 4 more DVDs at the regular price and satisfy the relevant judge that he understands a liability to social order that much.

Not the $40k DVDs SCO May publish as long as they're blanks, either.
