Nick Moffitt Interview

Posted by michael on Friday July 19, 2002 @05:42AM from the give-the-monkey-another-hit dept.

Swedish hacker-wannabee writes "Nick Moffitt is in an interesting interview at Gnuheter. Moffitt: 'I want to see a future where when I buy something, I own it. I don't want corporations and governments telling me how I may or may not use my own private property in my own home or among my friends. I want the ability to take apart my toaster or my alarm clock and see how they work, or combine them into something new. I don't think this future is possible without some serious effort on the part of hackers.'"

That is very true. I have tried to post code in the past only to be treated to errors such as "average line length to low" or "too many odd characters".

It's crazy. I can't think of any other technology/computer nerd discussion board doesn't let you post code.

Can anyone remember what that thing is that translates C to English and back again? Some guys used it on DeCSS in a song.
