I am rather confused at why we should ban wget. I mean... it's nearly impossible
to do anything illegal with it, it even stops you from circumventing robots.txt
apparently.
A much larger problem to me seems to be the epidemic of hospitals we have. I
mean they are filled with all sorts of tools with which you could commit murder,
spread all over the country, and absolutely anyone can get inside.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Doing carpentry without a license is illegal in most jurisdictions.
WTF?
No it is not. There is far more to the world than the USA where it seems that
you need a permit even to breathe these days.
I am a professional software developer. Are you saying that I should be either
licensed or prohibited from owning a hammer even though I use one all the time
in my own workshop where I restore old Motorcycles?
To use an old english expression,
What a load of old bull.
I also have a crowbar and bold cutters. So I guess I should head on down to the
nearest police station and hand myself in because I'm obviously a burglar.
There again, I also own a chainsaw. I use it to cut firewood that is growing on
my own woodland. As I'm not a certified forrester/lumberjack/whatever then in
your eyes, I'm a criminal.
If living in the so called land of the 'free' would require me to pay all soets
of licensing fees to use the tools that I legally own and operate here in the UK
then I really feel sorry for those US Citizens who are subject to these frankly
silly laws.

Ubuntu & 'apt-get' are not the answer to Life, The Universe & Everything which
is of course, "42" or is it 1.618?
