Build a Cisco PIX for 800 Australian Dollars

From the article:
down the track, make the move over to a rack mount case, because rackmount cases get you chicks
Right... maybe big fat nasty hair grotesque chics.. no thanks...
I'm not sure if I understand what the point of this article is. Sure, it violates DMCA and the routermonkey broke many other laws (as many posters already mentioned), but what is the point. I understand, if not even agree, with the arguments for fighting RIAA, MPAA, Microsoft, and even RedHat (care to guess what tool posted that story?), but why are we against Cisco?
Posting a warez link on front pafe
Was someone siffing on your fafe when you saif that, or do you juff talf thif way? =:>
Currently slashdot is kind justyfying priracy and stealing in names of rights and all bull shit.
This is not done. Free software and open source DO NOT EQUATE with piracy.
Get a sense of humor and logic please. No justification for the "theft" of Cisco's non-free technology is offered. This article simply states what can be done. It might make you wonder why big dumb companies shell out thousands of bucks for hardware that should cost about a hundred and hardware that has better free alternatives. It might also make you wonder why it's illegal to make a copy of machine only readable noise, especially code that's available off Cisco's tftp server. You might even research the mostly public University funded start up of Cisco. Naf, thaf woulf be insiful and infomatif.
A couple of days back you posted a zip file for crashing windows
You don't need a zip file to crash windows, silly troll, it does that all on it's own.
getting hold of flash for cisco is illegal. "Difficult to procure" thats what the article says. Well its plain illegal.
How about a link to that effect? Owning hardware illegal? Give me a break. What kind of silly laws do you live under?
Friends don't help friends install M$ junk.
"This article shouldnt have been how to make a pix it should be how to make a legal,cheap,open source alternative to one."
Why not write one then, mr genius?
Better yet - kill yourself now. The quality of the human gene pool is already low enough without your depressingly negative impact upon it.
"Or am I missing something, has someone published a mimick PIX OS under open source or something? "
No.
They are using a card you can buy, and they are using their CCO login (and the access to Cisco software it provides) to get the software for it.
The only thing that deserves to be heavily punished is your shallow, doom-filled assertions.
Kiss me where it smells funny,
