[svlug] Google comes to BALUG on Tue. Sept. 15

[Robert Hajime Lanning]

I REALLY, REALLY do NOT like Linux OS and software to be called warez.

I really do not care for the warez type of "kids" to be using Linux.

Linux is a great hacking platform.

Javilk you are starting to sound like those marketing lawers that I don't want
to mention.
