[TriLUG] [WAY OT] security goons at TigerDirect in Raleigh: "No,

[J.C. Jones]

This is as much "on topic" as the series we had sometimes back about 
google, it's interview process, free food at google, etc.

Obviously enough of the Trilug members have made statements about TD and 
their policies to make it a Trilug topic.

I am ready for anyone with a Linux question or statement to butt in. 
Once that happens, the membership will most likely refocus it's 
attention to Open Source, Linux and other topics related to rights and 
freedoms. Anyone want to start a thread about DRM????
