Linux felon forced to install Windows | |

Scott McCausland, who used to be an administrator of the EliteTorrents BitTorrent server before it was shut down by the FBI, pleaded guilty in 2006 to two copyright-related charges over the uploading of Star Wars: Episode III to the Internet. As a result, he was sentenced to five months in jail and five months' home confinement. McCausland--who also goes by the name "sk0t"--has since been released from jail, but on Tuesday he reported on his blog that the terms of his sentence meant he would have to install Windows if he wanted to use a computer during his probation. "I had a meeting with my probation officer today, and he told me that he has to install monitoring software onto my PC," wrote McCausland. "No big deal to me...that is part of my sentence." | ||

| Well earned cruel and unusual punishment. Should have made him use DOS 4. |

Whats wrong with DOS 4 :)
I'll tell ya, to this day, if I were to have heavy data base entry/manipulation needs, I would choose a DOS based product, such as R:Base 5000, over ANY GUI based database program today. Database processing with a GUI is, IMHO, entirely ineficient. The only GUI database I remotely care for is Filemaker Pro. Back in my Navy days in the 80's, I had a blast writing SQL based Databases in R:Base 5000 and Clarion Professional Developer. I was part of the Clarion beta team. I wonder whatever happened to that awesome product? TL |

Wasn't Clarion bought out by MS? |
