Come on guys, the security issue that we are talking about is something more subtle. Like the way the other guy says, it is the 15 year old kid down the road that I am more afraid of, because they know no limits to their actions. NSA or CIA.. bah... it is their job to spy on us all. That's what inteligence gathering is all about. Does not mean that they have any inteligence up in their brain box thought. So stop the paranoid invation of people's personal right. It was never there, only an illusion of it. Thus we are happy with that for a long time. As for Microsoft's security issue, as I hope that they do beaf up as it is really troubling my bosses that their porn mails can be read by other people. God forbids that ever happends.
If a man cannot say what he thinks ...

I agree that everyone should have a right to say what is in their mind if they think it is right. There so many comments out there that most of them have their merits. Some, if not most, will be somewhat different from our own, none the less it is just a different of oppinions or views and of understanding. Granted there are people out there who are downright rude, but it is but their way of communication. I have personally being flamed so many times that I think sometimes I live in flames of fire..:)... but the issues is that people react to our words and that is important. That means people are listening. And that gives us the chance to tell our own version of the story. Take the comments as there are, comments and views that we should consider. Hell, with this reply alone, I could be flamed, but does it really changes my point of view? I don't think so, for I still believe in the good of the people has. Take it all in and be happy that people feel that your words are worth flaming..:)
After reading the threads for like 2 hours straight, my eyes hurt as so do my heart. The underlying issue for all the free codes that is on the market is that they are people out there that do not understand the importance of free code trading. When a price is put on to anything, especially codes, it causes a conflict of interest to the people involove. And ultimately causes the downfall, if not the complete distruction, of the code itself. Take linux for instance, due to its openess it has flowered into something that everyone here has grown to love and admire. It is only with common courtecy and ethical morals that makes this happend. If by any chance that people want to make this into a profit making schemem than it will eventually become the death of linux. Maybe I am a bit paranoid, even a bit stupid, to think that people can be just kind and loving.:)... I feel that most programmers in our world currently are this kind of people. Do you know the feeling of a programmer when they are in their mad scientist mode, programming is life to them, and with that we forget about all our petty difference and go towards a common goal, to take the best code and make it bettere. That's is what makes programmers so esseteric, even downright crazy sometimes, but it makes them a better person. So my view on the problem is that people should bugger off on the profit and pay more attention on the building of something grand. If we can make linux and free codes the culture in this community, then we might have a chance of making something out of this short life that we have. I see so many potentials that linux have, that sometimes it is sad to see that nobody is paying attention to do it but go about arguing about legal issues. When human beings can think of something other than themselves, then maybe we can become the PEOPLE that is destined for us to be. Hope I don't offend anybody out there. If I did, we just have a different point of view..:)
