The cruelest punishment, Linux admin forced to use Windows


Here is a funny story.

http://news.com.com/Linux+felon+forc...tag=topicIndex

Basically, someone that put copyrighted material onto a Bittorrent server was caught and convicted. During his probation he is required to install monitoring software that only works on Windows. That means that he cannot use Linux while he is on probation and he must use Windows.

Now that's cruel and unusual punishment.
