this argument is flawed; x86 code is more fundamental than any virtual machine running on top of it, and can be used to do a sumo move on said runtime (to change its behavior away from design security handling). in other words, your nice house on the hill can still be attacked from its sewer system.
people who use those languages don't advertize that fact in order to keep a competitive advantage over those who prefer to program in the language du jour.
no worries. the more normal people exercise their freedoms in ways that contrast starkly w/ the concept of "illegal", the more that concept is shown for the farce it is. let there be light. association w/ freedom is an exercise in freedom. let no one cower from this!
midwesterners (in the US) are friendly and don't assume you know where they live. of course, the FBI loves the midwest.

the whole concept of management is a mild form of neurosis that says
essentially, "it's easier and more fun to exercise power over others than to
do so over myself". this is understandable in selfish cultures that promote
commoditization of everything to the nth degree. because classical economics
relies on this commoditization force, freeing people of this neurosis actually
results in a "worse" economy (in as much as organizational structures are less
pyramidal and the cash flow that is in fact being laundered by middle-layer
bureucrats as part of their "compensation", is reduced).
all this is to say that it is better (for the species, for the state, for the
municipality, for the business, for the bowling club, for the house, for the
bedmates) to invest in yourself and if you become a good manager, well lucky
you! maybe you can repay society for helping you attain the right fruit.
although most my uncles are dead and i am unemployed, i enjoyed reading this comment. for the record, i write free software and try to keep old computers running them. maybe i'll have a consultancy some day or someone will support me.

this is the first distributed federation, of course. it will fail but lay the groundwork for the more modern second distributed federation. geez, read up on your history.
free software is both above and below any plane of coercive codependence (exemplified in, but not limited to, proprietary software operations). it is like the Force, or God, or the Slumbering Background Meme. people play in this way to glipse the Truth, and like most addicts, learn to maintain an outwardly acceptable face to society. over time, this maintenance requirement lessens, as Truth corrupts all of society.
software, alone in all of the human artifacts, has the ability to check itself in repeatable, automated, and self-documenting ways. free software packages, if faced w/ lessened "ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY" protection, will evolve to include "make check" as a necessary part of the license process. "make check" must show the checks in detail, and the end user must agree to the validity of the checks. the checks are, of course, also free software.
in this way, only free software can thrive in such scrutiny, and i for one can't wait...
i just heard by SO read me parts of 1984 that seemed to pop back into my head when you said "expensive pieces of software for only $1" -- does doublethink require irony, or is newspeak v2002 just published?
why exclusive OR? it is the combination that kills: companies that DO NOT
CARE if they have crappy staff. the mediocre seek to make everyone mediocre,
and the best way to do that is to diffuse any quest for quality. the results
(for security or what have you) are predictable.
flame on: "strictly w/ their peers"?!? wtf kind of elitist claptrap is that? oh i see, that's the source of the alienation and angst, and thus necessary to maintain the neurotic complex. beautiful.

the "free software movement" actually says something simpler: write free software. (simply using stuff does not move anything anywhere.)
free software is both above and below any plane of coercive codependence (exemplified in, but not limited to, proprietary software operations). it is like the Force, or God, or the Slumbering Background Meme. people play in this way to glipse the Truth, and like most addicts, learn to maintain an outwardly acceptable face to society. over time, this maintenance requirement lessens, as Truth corrupts all of society.
all the links have ".asp". i can't read this.

fool! the software is the results! the software is the methods! the software is the artifact!

good code is very general.
