I know this is a FoxPro forum but many people here also dabble in Linux so I pose the question...

Is it me, or does the recent UT headline article "Linux Worm Variants Rampage" seem more like propaganda and FUD than any real infomation/facts? (This has nothing to do with the UT. I assume they just get articles from news feeds around the world.)

But do you notice that the article is more heavily laced with adjectives and it's numbers are somwhat contradictory to other news articles about the slapper worm (even articles from the news site).

You almost have to take on an analytical investigative posture to get some perspective the way news stories are written ... (Vague! And not meant to inform, but to influence toward a particular leaning! And arguably, some might say there is orchestrated distortion going on.)

Maybe it's just me, but sometimes, some of the technical news just screams as an out of balance opinion piece.
