What Hacker News says?

   If anyone is actually surprised by the administrations intelligence - I should remind you of 3 events: - A teacher confiscates Linux CDs claiming that the student was essentially distributing illegal copyrighted software - because no software is free [1] - A system administrator was fired for installing/running seti@home on school computers. There is a lot of controversy about this case - but I read one news article…

   As an update: http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2012/08/it-started-with-hopele... While he still needs money, they did find a doctor to perform the surgery. But don't let that stop you from donating, if you're able. He also answered a question that I had: he's a veteran, so he should qualify for VA medical assistance. According to his post above, the VA system moves too slow to stop his rapidly spreading cancer.
