I am rephrasing my wordings. For user, changing MAC ensures that he can use the internet connection which is bound to a specific MAC id, on more than one systems. Correct! Binding mac ids prevents interoperability and spoofing mac ids is a workaround over this device locking by isps. :-) Regards, Rony.

So according to them if someone is using one machine then he must stick to that if he do not have router. In the context above, what do you mean by the term 'interoperability' and how does binding a mac id help an isp achieve that? Regards, Rony.

Interview of Linus Torvalds; He Also Speaks Of Sad Situation Of India
by Swapnil Bhartiya 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

India is kind of somewhat a sad situation. Compared to the amount of educated people, I think India is fairly low on the list compared to what it could be. Culturally it should be fairly easy, because language barriers should not be there. If you are educated in India, you know English even if it is not your first language. So India actually should have an easier time being involved in some of the discussions. Don't get me wrong, there are developers, but just not as many as I would expect. And I don't know quite why. There is a fair amount of really enthusiastic local LUGs and I get to hear about them. But, at the same time I don't know India, you know much better. My gut feeling is that a lot of the actual professional developers in India see software development as a job and not as a hobby. That's the kind of picture I've gotten, I don't know if it's true. If you see it [software development] as a job and not as a hobby the whole open source thing is not as natural anymore. http://www.muktware.com/news/2855 -- Swapnil Bhartiya Editor: Muktware.com Skype: No Way...its non-free.

It is the same in all OSs unless it is cloned from another device in a particular OS. Regards, Rony.
