No. That is THE most false argument on this thread. You are reeeeaaching.
Regardless of my abilities, one can be smart in some areas and ignorant in 
others . . . um, watch "Rain Man" or something.

> In the world, it's a risk.  You are part of the world.

There is no sarcasm in this paragraph:
OK. So, I my box is a risk to the world? Crack my system and exploit it. NOW.
No excuses. Correct me. No more excuses. None. Now. I'm waiting.
Wait, why even post this? I shouldn't be able to even typ. . . . . oh, I'm 
back. Hammer me already. YOU. I will pay you - make an offer. No, crack it, 
exploit the system and then BILL me. 
Deal with it.

Talk is cheap. That is why I set up the challenge. Your argument is summarily 
destroyed by my observations and Jim P.'s arguments. You may not see that, 
but that is why I offered the challenge. To prove once and for all who is 
right on this issue.

Money? That is not my goal with Linux - I have other means. Why not sell 
hamburgers - I heard one can make millions from that. No, if the grand Linux 
cannot surpass 33% marketshare as it is . . . . what chance do I have?

>  However, you won't, because it's insecure and blatently stupid.
PROVE IT. You will have an opportunity - where I assist you.
I will even tried to coordinate the attack at the beginning of this thread.

The whole assumption that I believe running as root is "smart" is foolish.
I don't CARE whether or not it is "smart" or "cool."

Sith deal in black and white. Technology flies in the face of the past.
