Kiran, Whats the point of just copying and pasting from websites and filling up our mailboxes? You would be far better off providing a short paragraph and a URL for the article. Also, by not making a mention of your source, you are violating the copyright rights of cnet.com. Quoting their website, "Re-use of any of CNET's editorial content and graphics online for any purpose is strictly prohibited. The materials from CNET's sites are available for informational and noncommercial uses offline only, provided the content and/or graphics are not modified in any way, all copyright and other notices on any copy are retained, and permission is granted by CNET.". Please don't provide illegal(assumiing you have not obtained explicit permission from the source) documents on the mailing list and make us a part of the *crime*. Also, the disclaimer attached to the email states that "This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose". Does that not make your email totally useless for any mailing list with more than one member. It means that this email was meant only for the person who uses the address linuxers@mm.ilug-bom.org.in, and that all the rest of us getting this message should "delete this message". Also the disclaimer makes linuxers@mm.ilug-bom.org.in, or whoever the list admin is, a criminal because the disclaimer also states that "copying, or distribution of this message, or the taking of any action based on it, is strictly prohibited."
For those who want to read the article in its original form, its available at the following link
