Part of me wonders if this is even serious... If so I hope this teacher is not allowed to breed...

This is the conclusion: http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2008/12/character-assasinations-aint-us.html
Looks like there was a massive steam buildup on both fronts.

The fact is that she was trapped in the Micro$oft world, and didn't know much of freeware. Also, the kid handing out unmarked disks that he was given by another adult to hand out (read into the other article) was something that ay good teacher would become suspicious of. However her email was very ignorant. She insulted him, then threatened him, and did it without any research at all.

The funny thing is that if she had actually tried to have Starks charged, he could have sued her into the gutter.

Somebody took their RIAA approved piracy awareness seminar a little too seriously.

Quick, somebody get arrested for demonstrating and distributing Orbiter freely. It will get us some publicity.

The article doesn't name names or even say where this occurred. Hoax?

That's why Orbiter needs a "boss key" for students.

That blogspot page does not seem to have been designed with compatibility with IE in mind: IE locks up every time I try to view it. I can only get to it with firefox.

No problems here with IE7.

I can open it with IE, FireFox and Google Crome as well.

Maybe 'cause I've got IE 6.

I've *got* to get my Dad to replace our XP machine that died a few months back. This thing is a archaeological relic. Even though it's less than a decade old. Isn't Moore's law fun?

Why are you using such a primitive browser in this day and age, even if you're using an old computer?

Because he will kill the Hamster powering the thing.
