Root exploit for FreeBSD

[Ivo Karabojkov]

I think democracy is a choice of freedom. Freedom what to use, AND, in such
cases - freedom where to work! If you are marketing specialist probably you
should NOT touch much of your computer's control gear. If you are an IT
specialist or support such treatment is similar to treat you as a cattle.
It's only up to you to allow or forbid such treatment.
The freedom has it's price, of course. I always choose to pay it.
If someone hires me to manage something he should listen to my or my team's
advices. Otherwise he spends money for nothing and I earn headache and
broken nerves!

And as for academic battle:
If universities deny to make tests, experiments and cutting edge
implementations then who would???
If IT or computing science, or telecommunication departments are treated in
such manner probably they should be dismissed for not letting them to damage
our future specialists! It's a sin to read just one book, even if it is the
Holly Bible! 
God, forgive me for comparing М$ with the Bible, it's just for conviction
;-)!

In fact I won partially such a battle in 2002-2003, and even if I don't work
for our University they still relay on FreeBSD for major part of their IT
infrastructure.

I wish you all freedom and success!
