| The inspection that started this all was a recurring,random yearly
| inspection. There was no complaint nor does the dtsc have any reason to think
| that a release of any form has occurred (none has)
| As far as I know all handling issues have been addressed and the only thing
| that we still have on the table is the "get rid of it within a year" issue
| and all parties seem to be interested in how to get around/find a way to
| ignore this restriction without letting the corporate scumbags use it as a
| loophole.

16,000 Linux computers delivered - for free
,----[ Quote ]
| With his non-profit organization called Alameda County Computer Resource
| Center, he built up a volunteer organization, collects donated stuff from the
| companies who provide them, strips any proprietary OS and software off the
| drives, re-installs everything with Linux and free applications, and then
| gives them to schools or other not-for-profit organizations or individuals
| without too much cash.
|
| A great man with a great mission. CNN called him a hero already.

| Sk0t, an ex-administrator of the EliteTorrents BitTorrent tracker is to have
