First they came for the Cpunks...

[Matthew X]

"First they came for the hackers. But I never did anything illegal with my 
computer, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for the pornographers. But I 
thought there was too much smut on the Internet anyway, so I didn't speak 
up. Then they came for the anonymous remailers. But a lot of nasty stuff 
gets sent from anon.penet.fi, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for the 
encryption users. But I could never figure out how to work pgp5 anyway, so 
I didn't speak up. Then they came for me. And by that time there was no one 
left to speak up." ~Alara Rogers (Aleph Press) ne
Heard from ENRON just before they collapsed.
"When I said burn all the books I meant , 'put them on the fire', not 'copy 
them onto CD'"
CHINA CRISIS!
I'm wondering whether China will use Linux for restrictive purposes - i.e. 
The Great Firewall of China ?

Perhaps they've found that Microsoft products are just too insecure for 
this purpose ? ;)
The German Government announced they will be switching exclusively to 
Linux. Chancellor Adolf Hitler declared Linux "the software of the 
Superman" and said that anyone caught using other operating systems will be 
imprisoned.
Microsoft Windows cd's and books on using Microsoft software have been 
publicly burned in ritualistic bonfires. A few resisters caught with 
Windows 98 on their hard drives have been beaten and tortured by the 
Gestapo, their pleas that "it was just for Counterstrike!" falling on deaf 
ears.
As of this writing, the computers that control the train timetables for 
transporting undesirables to death camps have been running Linux for three 
months now without a reboot.
