Well, i'm a sysadmin and I don't know how to code anything that can crack a system. I sure have the knowledge to download a C/Perl script, edit a few variables and make it workable. Does that mean i'm a script kiddie?
The solution is easy. I'm sure people have thought of it before, but obviously no one with the balls.
I've worked for microsoft before. They give their employees the impression that they will treat them like God's, and that you may just be the *next one* to climb up the corporate ladder.
The corporate world is a world of suits and (funnily enough) dodgy software. Suits talk to sales people, sales people get excited and talk to clients, clients... buy microsoft. Because people tell them that it is an essential part of the computer.
So how do we break the cycle? Easy.
Make an operating system that is as easy to use as windows. Who cares if it is buggy? Just make it, make it similarly fast/stable, call it something flash and give it away for free. YES it will crash, YES people will complain.. but at least it doesn't line Bill Gates's pocket.
"Linux can do this" i hear you cry. Crap. The driving force behind linux is us, a bunch of hackers who spit on redhat because they dare take a breath of the mainstream. If i had the money i'd start up a distro called "E-z-as-windows" and market it all across the world. Not to line my pockets but to give people a READILY AVAILABLE ALTERNATIVE.
If you 31337 hax0rz really wanted linux to do well, you would concentrate on making a distrib that was as easy to use as windows, and had the universal appeal that it does. (Games, Office, Easy to change background colours etc).
People *ALWAYS* want something new.. they want to see it, play with it and touch it. The Linux community, although definitely applauded, are not opening up to the world.
Tommorow there is a planned protest in Sydney, Hyde Park at 12. We've got a sound system... and i'm going to tell Senator Alston where to stick his bill.
RIGHT UP HIS PRIEST-RAPED ASS.
This shit frustrates me to no end. Sysadmin's of the world should unite.. in 5 years we will hold more power than we imagine - WE ARE THE GATEKEEPERS!

Do this, and Microsoft will be defeated. Simple.

Guiness book of records uses the pi test to see who has the "greatest" memory I think.
Some japanese guy could remember 70,000 - beating the previous record of 42,000.
I don't think he could remember his wife's name after reciting all the numbers over like 3 whole days or something.
