When Spyware Crosses the Line

"Spyware" isn't harmless software when it starts hijacking your browser, downloading updates, and displaying adult porn images to small children.

I don't mean to start a M$ vs Linux debate. But here's my side. I only run linux (5 box network). I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH SPYWARE! NONE! Granted, I'm a guru, but still... I ALSO HAVE NO ISSUE WITH VIRUSES. NONE. Yes, I know it's only time. But linux has the permissions barrier for a virus to bypass, also the desktop is seperate from the kernel, also the common linux user is a guru compared to the common M$ user (harder to fool:) Also... There's lots of them :)

Linux has matured to the point of everyday desktop use, in work and home. If you disagree with this, THEN START CATCHING UP ON THE WAVE, AND READ! THE PEOPLE WHO THINK LINUX ISN'T THERE YET, NEED TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES! LINUX WON ALREADY...IT'S JUST WAITING FOR THE CURIOUS FOLKS TO GET ON BOARD, WHILE IT STILL GROWS, AND GROWS, AND GROWS...

To sum it up. QUIT YOUR BITCHING, USE LINUX. EDUCATE YOUR SELVES. EDUCATE YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS. GET OFF THE M$ BUS, IT'S GARBAGE. IT'S CALLED SOCIAL ENGINEERING, M$ HAS BRAINWASHED YOU INTO A METHOD OF COMPUTING FOR THEIR OWN $ GAIN. WAKE UP, PLEASE WAKE UP PEOPLE, PLEASE...YOU ARE RANTING ABOUT THE SAME OLD STUFF. VIRUS, SPYWARE, WORMS...WAKE UP OH PLEASE WAKE UP....WE TRULY KNOW THE SOLUTION TO YOUR ISSUES, IT'S CALLED FREEDOM OF EDUCATION. WAKE UP!!!!

So, I will not be reading any comments from this thread. I just dropped and cruzed. Good luck all, penguins just want you M$ people to wake up, it's awsome over here, it's freedom on all levels, it's power, it's linux, it's yours.

ps- please ignore my bad spelling and grammer. I read to many man pages...
