  It would be interesting to host a survey as to how many of your readers are Linux only and for how long?

  Facts in the case of Mary G. Sykes ..

  on Lawyer Says It's Copyright Infringement To Use Her Own Blog Posts Against Her In Disciplinary Proceedings
  "Denison first became concerned as to the hanky panky going on in State Probate courts via her involvement in the adult guardianship of Mary G. Sykes. Sykes was put under an adult guardianship, without apparent legal jurisdiction by the Cook County Court. Neither Mary Sykes nor her adult daughter, Gloria, were served with notice of the proceedings. The court-appointed guardians have subsequently isolated the elderly woman from family and friends for roughly four years."

  Walter O’Brien (Hacker name: “Scorpion”) 'was identified as a child prodigy with an IQ of 197. When he was 13 years old, he started his company ScorpionComputerServices.com'. Walter born 1975, that would make him 13 in 1988. Scorpioncomputerservices.com was registered in 2011. Something of a discrepancy here.

  "I've realized that O'Brien reminds me of L. Ron Hubbard. Scary to think about young kids getting involved with him through the TV show and his website. Will there be an O'Brien cult with true believers who will refuse to believe he's a fraud?
  
  Maybe it's some elaborate hoax. You just read my mind, he would make a good motivational speaker, or leader of a delusional cult. Except L. Rons happens to be true, can you prove our supreme galactic overlord Xenu don't exist :)
