I know both good and bad people at corporations. The bad people were mean and nasty before they joined the corporation, the corporation became a vehicle for them to abuse others and directly translated to the misbehaviour of that corporation. Doing bad things comes naturally to them. The good people went out of their way to prevent the corporation from doing evil things, or left the corporation so they would not be party to the unethical behaviour. -Dan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
