Ian Murdock Died in San Francisco 10 Years Ago. Cops Led to His Death.
10 years ago Ian Murdock died after cops had messed him up [1-4]. 2 years ago an American tried to weaponise British cops against me and my wife - a story we'll tell in full one day. It didn't stop there; some Americans attempt to weaponise armed and dangerous people against perceived "enemies" online.
Why would British cops work for Americans?
Well, maybe the same reasons some hired guns in London would work for American stranglers of women: money, greed.
The SRA seems not to mind. It's not a regulator as much as a facilitator. It exists to give a false sense (illusion) of oversight and accountability. █

[Old] The History of Debian, Part 1 - by Bradford Morgan White
The next version of Debian was released on the 9th of March in 1999 as 2.1 Slink. This release was built of two thousand two hundred fifty packages running on kernel 2.0.34. Slink was available for i386, m68k, Alpha, and SPARC. This release re-organized the Debian packages for X making things easier to maintain. Slink required two CDs, and importantly, this release also included apt. The Advanced Packaging Tool (apt) was the replacement for the dselect frontend for dpkg, and it was originally started by Brian White with developer coordination taking place over IRC. Apt, as far as I can tell, was the first Linux package manager to automate the retrieval, installation, update, compilation, and configuration of software packages including any required dependencies.
