At least CentOS bothered to change the redhat-release file.
PR guys? You mean the guys who are saying "Well, we're fucking you, but it's legal for us to fuck you whether or not you want us to because we say it is, so we're going to continue to fuck you."?
Any time I want to slack off or if I need some more time to work on something useful rather than the pointless tasks delegated in the name of excess micromanagement, I just kick off a kernel build on three or four different boxes and tell my boss I'm testing a client issue.
You say pointless, but I think what you mean is ESSENTIAL.
I used it for a while on a new laptop that came with it. Classic shell makes me not want to vomit so much, but I still think you paid $40 for the worse product when Linux is free.
"Federal prosecutors later charged him with two counts of wire fraud and 11 violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,[16] carrying a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution and supervised release.[17]" Emphasis mine
"Yes, wire fraud is a felony as it has been considered a federal crime in the United States since 1872. The punishment can be up to 20 years in prison."
...b-but, you get to set your lock screen wallpaper now! The GNOME developers are allowing unchecked and rampant levels of freedom never before seen (in GNOME 3).
Yes. I want to bake some motherfucking bread. Not because I have to for some shitty quest, but because I can. My biggest fear is that there are still minute little things that exist in that game I've not yet discovered you can do.
I do that in a day (okay, so with 8% beer). Hell, I've cut down to a beer a day and I've lost 15 lbs in a month before sitting on my ass. I know women who weigh about 100 lbs who drink more than you on a regular basis.
Our band teacher in high school had a computer in the band room back in the early -00's (00's?), for some reason. He actually DID that.
We found out his password was "teacher". Needless to say, I quickly found out that this was the default password to EVERY teacher's account in the school. I got a stern talking to and was then invited to help the lab admin out during my study halls when I didn't have homework after pointing this out to them. It probably helped that I didn't change grades or anything like that before telling them I figured it out.
I bet nowadays kids get expelled for that, at a minimum.
I've never heard of it, but I'm not a security guru. I think I'd take the software a little more seriously if it didn't have overly eager anime guy on the front page:
when the last buggy whip manufacturer went out of business because of Ford? What about when computers killed Underwood and the typewriter manufacturers? What about when video killed the radio star?
Seriously, stop holding back progress in the name of the status quo, otherwise things can never improve.
Even if I thought he might crack one open, am I to blame?
If so, then with Obfuscant as my witness, I hereby categorically assume everyone I will ever text will be responsible enough to wait until they are no longer driving to check any messages I send them. Problem solved?
It is illegal for a 16 year old to drink, but nobody would argue that offering one a beer doesn't make you liable because the 16 year old has free will and could refuse the beer. Likewise, the court is saying doing something you know is wrong makes you liable.
I dislike this example. How about this:
It is illegal for a person (call him Fred) to drink while driving, but nobody would argue that giving Fred (who is over 21) sealed beer to take home with him with the intent of him drinking them later, and then Fred choosing to drink the beer while in the car on the way makes you liable.
It's almost a perfect analogy of the original scenario, and it shows how this DOES in fact, strip the actual person responsible of their moral responsibility. If only we could just bubble wrap every surface so thickly that no one ever gets hurt, ever.

Is that really that big of an issue though? I've never actually seen any software that queries redhat-release to see what you're running.
/etc/redhat-release
Sure, CentOS has the file still, but they changed the contents:
[brad@lust ~]$ cat
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
[brad@lust ~]$
Blatantly, even.

I read that line, and all I could think was, "Awww, you DID notice!"
...and then I realized it was an anon poster, not timothy himself.
Maybe they meant that is has no TCP window?
Oooh, someone forgot to tick the Anonymous Coward box....

You must be looking at a different Wikipedia than I am.

Let's go one step further:

I don't really know what else to say. This was on account of the whole JSTOR thing. In case you've been under a rock, here's a freebie: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2013/03/fixing-the-worst-law-in-technology-aaron-swartz-and-the-computer-fraud-and-abuse-act.html.
What felony you commit by violating a TOS?
Ask Aaron Swartz.
Not to mention committing a felony in the process.
That shit is bananas.
I don't think they need a new word. Just use a perfectly good old word. How about "tyrant"?

I'm not saying it doesn't happen. It just must be very hit and miss.

Well then, I guess no war, "cyber" or otherwise.
