The reason one shouldn't compile as root in this instace is because you are compiling a module. Modules are installed so that you could potentially allow some modules for some users and other modules for others. As such, if you compile as root, you do not have an enlightment profile, while as a user you do. If there is no profile, the compiler freaks out a bit. If there is a profile, you will find that you can't find the module and conclude that there must have been a problem with the compile, so in this instance, it is not debatable. But as a whole, you are correct, it is debatable. I find that it is easier to compile as root as most of the time, when I do not, I get permissions problems. I have also found that once in a blue moon, it is even a good idea to run my window manager as root so that I can use a graphical file manager to move some protected files around. Anyway...

On 5/17/6, a spammer known as PharmaMaster (PM) attacked Blue Security (BS).

Using a program called Blue Frog, BS created a distributed network of over ½ mil users who would automatically send opt out requests to spammers' clients. This was so effective that PM declared that BS "found the right solution to stop spam, and I can't let this continue." PM then DDoSd BS, endangered the net by hacking a major router on the net's backbone to block BS' webpage and finally attacked typepad, where BS had just surrendered 30 min earlier. This attack caused about 2000 servers to go down including typepad and livejournal.While BS gave up because they felt this would "prevent a full-scale cyber-war that we just don't have the authority to start" The community disagreed and started a Blue Frog clone called okopipi which will prevents DDOS attacks by using decentralization.

With your help we can fight back against PM and his spam mafia. Please join at okopipi.org and help take back our internet.
