Actually, I think BYU takes their honor code very seriously (with the exception of the football team). If you were to report such behavior to the proper person, there would likely be some disciplinary action taken to match the seriousness of the offense (impersonating someone could be considered quite serious). And to be fair, any students involved in extramarital sexual relations should expect immediate expulsion (if anyone found out), this is not selectively applied to gay people. -- Eldon -- BOFH excuse #202: kernel panic: write-only-memory (/dev/wom0) capacity exceeded. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I was alluding to the fact that it could be quite difficult to keep a football team under the BYU honor code. -- If entropy is increasing, where is it coming from? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The church which runs it will never acknowledge a same-sex couple as married. Also, most states do not recognize same-sex marriages in the first place. In the belief system of this religion, said marriages cannot make sense. -- Eldon -- BOFH excuse #144: Too few computrons available. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Testing, yes, Stable even more so. Testing seems to be the least secure option. Now that Sarge is out, stable is great... but Woody was _so_ out of date, and testing (by its very nature) lags on security issues... it seemes to me that up until recently unstable was the best choice for desktops. Usually, if something breaks in unstable, you can install it from testing until it is fixed.
