Why does this sound like the headline: "Leading space scientists find
ruins on the moon."?

Just so people know: The "Cindi Jenkins" persona and corresponding e-mail
address seem to be used almost exclusively to spam mailing lists and
newsgroups with advertisements for the aforementioned blog -- which is
some pundit advertising his services to pointy-hairs. (There may exist
a Cindi Jenkins; I wouldn't know about that. But if so, I have to
wonder a lot about her.)

And, no, there's nothing at that blog that particularly addresses the
alleged "breaking news". That's just another troll attempt.

The windows machine was indeed more secure, but only because it was
switched off at the time. ;)

You linux bigots need to realize that Windows rock and is ten times
better than Linux will ever be. Innovation will always win over
cloning.

On another note, ignore the previous URL I posted for a really good
blog (http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/eai/leadership/) as it got the owner
in a little trouble.
