While this topic may educate a few TFPers, it's a waste of time. Why?

1) The public has already formed an opinion and doesn't care what you have to say. They've been FUDed into believing that hackers are evil, linux is a hacking tool, and video games are the cause of all modern violence. It would be like going over to the Middle East and telling them that the US really isn't the Great Satan, and in fact we're decent people. You won't get very many takers.

2) The people on TFP are more likely to know this already. I'm sure that anyone who hangs out in TComputers knows. On the other hand, TFPers are more likely to listen to reason. meh. Point number one is the important one.
