Spyware in Audio Galaxy

LintMan and a zillion other people wrote in about the story on Portal of Evil discussing spyware bundled with Audio Galaxy that seems to be even more nasty than usual. Others have written about it as well - there's Counterexploitation and Wired stories. Frankly, we're kind of bored by all these spyware/shareware stories (don't people learn?) so we let it sit around in the submissions bin for a few days, until, say, a slow Saturday night.

  16. ROB "CMDRTACO" MALDA'S WILD RIDE by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda sat back in his chair gently massaging his cock. He was leafing through the latest issue of the Leisure Times porn catalog, contemplating which video he was going to buy next. The jerk-off factor of each video decreased after a few weeks, so he had to constantly update his collection.

    Malda often spent late night hours at his office like this; his apartment was just too lonely. The benefit of having a basement office was no casual passers-by. Cliff always thought he was working late on some paperwork; he was notoriously slow in finishing anything dealing with the next Slashcode revision. Or doing work on the latest Slashdot submission. Cliff thought correctly that Malda had no personal life.

    "Hmmm, should I get 'Killer Cumshots' or 'Ass Eating Insanity'? Or maybe I ... Ooohhh..." moaned Malda when he turned the page to the all-boys section; his cock throbbed with lust. "OK, how about 'Uncut Hunks' and 'Babes with Balls', you little freak," he said to his cock as he started to pump a little harder. He reached for the lube in his bottom drawer, slathering his hand and cock with the slippery stuff. He closely examined each small picture on the page. He especially liked the really muscular young guy in 'Boot Camp Boys'. Oh, to run his hands up and down that smooth, muscular stomach as he knelt in front of him, pulling that huge cock into his mouth.

    Malda arched his back and groaned as he came, shooting cum all over the desk. He slumped back down into the chair as his breathing slowed to normal. "I'm definitely going to order 'Uncut Hunks' and 'Boot Camp Boys'."

    After a few minutes he pushed his cock back into his pants and wiped up the lube and cum with a tissue. This had become almost a nightly ritual after his last meeting with Jon Katz earlier in the year. Malda wondered when if that rat bastard would ever quit his job at Slashdot.

    "I wonder if any of these videos star brunettes with green eyes?" Malda said thoughtfully as he flipped back through his catalog. "Or petite redheads?" he chuckled as he looked at the ad for 'Clit Licking Lezzies'.

    Malda started to daydream about Michael and Timothy 69'ing each other. "Not again," he groaned as he leaned back to pull his erection out of his pants. He got into a great rhythm. The subjects of his daydream morphed from two homosexual men to two other homosexual men--CoyboyNeal and Hemos sucking each other's cocks.

    "Yeah, that's it. That's it!" he panted, imagining himself sliding deftly in between those two hunks. He wanted nothing more than to be on his hands and knees sucking CowboyNeal's cock with Hemos fucking his ass.

    "Uh...uh..." whimpered Malda; he could feel the cum ready to explode out of his cock when the door to the office slammed open and heavy footsteps, belonging to 2 or 3 people, pounded on the floor. Before he could cry out or even identify the intruders a heavy, black hood was shoved over his head and he was hauled roughly to his feet.

    According to Windows advocates, an alternative to FAT32 would be FAT. Unfortunately, FAT is still in beta stage.

    Huh? The most common reference to FAT I've seen used refers to what are (now) known as FAT12 and FAT16 - the predecessors of FAT32. These are hardly beta, and were adequately suited to their original intended purpose: storage on a single-user, non-multitasking system.
    ...unless this is something new in WinXP (which I have avoided like the plague), I don't know what else you could possibly be referring to.

    The other proposed 'solution', NTFS, is nothing more than an ugly hack to put journaling into the file system. All the drawbacks of the ancient FAT32 file system remain in NTFS, for the sake of 'forward- and backward compatibility'.

    Once again, I wonder if you have any idea what you're talking about.
    NTFS predates FAT32 by several years, and the two have many functional differences. About the only thing NTFS and FAT32 have in common is that they are file systems used by Microsoft.
    As for the "forward- and backward compatibility", you are wrong there as well, since NTFS isn't backwards compatible.

    On top of that a lot of them spit out the most childish and unprofessional messages, indicating that they were created by 14-year olds with too much time, no talent and a bad attitude.

  35. Imagine how much GPL development could be funded? by BitMan · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Now I feel there is no excuse for RedHat users such as myself not to help fund RedHat.

    In praise of 100% GPL-focused RedHat

    RedHat, despite what you might think of their distro or business-side tactics, funds probably the greatest number of 100% GPL software developers (since VA no longer does). I cannot stress enough the importance of this fact. Every distro enjoys the fruits of RedHat employee labor, and not just Gnome developments either.

    Imagine the number of developers that could be hired

    For every 2,000 people who sign up for the service, that's $120K/year for RedHat. Figuring half of that goes to upgrades to their network infrastructure to support the additional downloads, that leaves $60K to fund another developer on-staff. If all 2 million RedHat sysadmins (my estimate is 2M, which equals ~20M installs, ~10 installs/per sysadmin on average) coughed up $60/year, that's $120M/year for RedHat. That could equate to adding $60M for developers, or about a thousand employees!

    Personal note

    I've been a total RedHat leech here. Although I have worked for various companies who have paid for Cygnus tools (Cygnus is a division of RedHat), I've pretty much only bought the boxed sets on every .2 release (and I haven't bought 7.2 yet). I've been running RedHat on this system (through various hardware upgrades) since 4.2, only re-installing once to move to XFS (RedHat 7.0.92 + XFS 1.0 betas was a "clean" install).

    I've installed RedHat on close to 500 systems now, and I'm sure well over half of those are still in use. So that amounts to about $0.10 per system I've installed. Definately not enough IMHO. I want to change this. This is a great avenue to do so.
