| |
Just a heads-up: somebody is sending out fake emails that claim to be from me, and that have me endorsing the Java client for Seti@Home.
The reason I know somebody is faking emails is that I got a bounce from one of them.
If somebody on the kernel list gets a message that claims to be from "Linus Torvalds <torvalds@transmeta.com>" with a subject line of "Seti@Home user interface", it is fake.
I'd like to see the full headers from such a message, to see if it shows where it is really originating from: the bounced message does not contain the original headers..
I assume it is a mass-posting trying to market Seti@Home or the particular client in question, and I'm not all that amused.

PS. Although I have to admit that the first line brought a grin: "Being the awesome Linux stud that I am.."
