Arrest in Cisco Code Theft
Kozar_The_Malignant writes "The BBC is reporting that an arrest has been made in the case of the stolen Cisco code that was posted to the internet last May. Approximately 800 MB was posted to a Russian security website. No name has been released and details are rather thin."
Maybe you fuckwad fucktard fuckshit fuckheads should learn that apostrophes aren't acceptable for pluralization.
Bullfucking shit.
Words are repurposed every day. Whats the difference between manslaughter and murder? Semantics.
Whats the difference between taking something that isn't yours and taking something that isn't yours. Its theft in its most basic definition.
Theft does not mean you were not deprived of something.
For instance, if you had a summer home and left a car there so that you could just fly in and go with it, and some fuck wad took it over the winter and then put it back -- ensuring that nothing was damaged, the engine was serviced and the oil was changed and had someone on the inside so that if you were anywhere near a thousand mile fucking radius, they could put it back as good as new (or better) -- would this be theft?
Yes, theft does not mean someone was deprived of something. It means something was taken. In the physicial world, yes, more often than not you are deprived of it. In the virtual world, you are deprived of the benefits of being its sole owner and all the perks that come with it.
But you sir are a fucking moron. Theft is theft...
Commie hippy fuckwad. I'm posting this as an AC because the truth does not like to be heard on slashdot, just herd.
"The core code for this operating is as important to Cisco as the naked code of Windows is to Microsoft. The Internetwork software is used to power almost all Cisco's routers. "
why nobody here says that they should use open source instead long time ago?
They need to crack down on IP thieves that threaten the ability of people to earn a living from writing code. This hurts us all because it punishes innovation and will mean worse and less software down the line. It's people like Mr. NoName that ruin the system for the rest of us. Him and the whole Open Source/Free Software movement, many members of which want to "liberate" copyrighted software!
Information theory is life. The rest is just the KL divergence.
