since this wasnt a coward ill reply, what does hacking have to do with warez. Microsoft (or any company) can have a warez site shut down, but they cant do shit for a hacking site.
i have to disagree with linux requires a lot of maintance. This is from my more limited experience but i have run a 10-20 computer network with routing, webserver, database, and printing. At times i forget about the server because its working so well. Then i will do a dist-upgrade and install a new kernel, and it will reboot and work perfectly again. This computer was built with spare parts in my basement. Its also named "Timmy" (from southpark) for a reason;)
i didnt mean to imply that just because he went to an ivy league school is a gaurantee of intellince, but he did do better on the act/sat's (cant remeber which one it was) than gore. If he managed to become president of the United States, i doubt he is the village idiot.
On a side note, has anyone noticed lately in his speech that he a) has become a better speaker, much more banter and impromptuness (sp?), and b) he is doing the clinton thumbs up
I have actually considered this when i was a minor. What happens when someone sends a minor explicit material, there was that stupid CDA law a few years ago. But this would fall into the line of actively giving explicit material to minors rather than minors seeking the material. If i buy a playboy for a minor it would be "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" why couldnt spam (sexual related) to minors be treated the same way. Could you imagine if someone outside of a middle/high school was giving out thousands of copies xxx porno mag. There would be a big problem for that individual. I think this could be an interesting route.
y2k could be an example, companies hired back a lot of the original programmers to fix up the software, i think it was cobol? fotran? it was still heavy in use, but it is not the most current language (although not forgotten)
the hypocrisy around here getting irritating. Since it was apple doing it, they are asked to explain their actions. Anyone else (read microsoft) would do something like this, there would be outrage.
on a side note, guess what, using gores plan for the election voting counts, he would have lost by MORE votes than if they used bush'. gore lost, under the rules of the election process (if you dont like those rules, do soemthing about it, but those are the rules now). gore excepted it, why cant you
have you even looked at either in the last 2 years
i dont care about the average joe sixpack. i would rather have a great desktop i use and those people do not. I dont want to deal with them ("my document wouldnt print so i hit print another 46 times") I like the way linux is evovling, they day any idiot can use it (read, idiot, there should be a minimum intelligence level here, not just geniuses by any means but someone that can figure out to turn dial up to the internet before complaining) the charm of linux will be lost, i hate idiot proof interfaces, easy interfaces are nice, but idiot proof is horrid.
how is it sinful again? oh thats right it isnt. but ill go along with that. i guess you should stop drinking alcohol too. how alcohol has been dealt with is the same way marijauna should. prohibition didnt work for alcohol it wont for mj
another "hackers, wont somebody think of the children response" considering hackers have no motivation to care what brand ketchup someone buys, companies do
The NSA doesnt give a damn about crypto. if its out there, im willing to bet they can crack it. the FBI on the other hand cant crack it so they need laws. The FBI has never been extremely technically knowledgeable. the NSA they have the best and the brightest with the machinary behind them
there is no illegal militias, its impossible. militias can do illegal things, but that comes back to the individual people. the militia is still legal.
okay, cameras in everyones houses will help stop drug use, domestic violence etc etc etc. At what point does it go to far. before it begins

Out of touch people should not post
quite frankly i agree. i dont see the big deal. that site is great for news. its a link page for news. how does this make a bit of different in the quality of the news articles?
absolutely none.
Get over it and find a different scapegoat. if you are incapable of that, dont visit that site, its as simple as that.
you apparently dont care as much about your privacy or you would realize why its important.
The only people who need to use encryption are those who have something to hide. Maybe we should be snooping around in these people's inboxes
thats equivalent to the only people that lock that need locks on their doors have something to hide. Maybe they should snoop around in those houses. oh wait thats everybody.

yes. because someone who went to an ivy league school is dumb. granted his dad got him there but still. what school did you graduate from?
He isnt a good public speaker, and he has bad speech writers. stop saying he is dumb

actually they can on following certain laws, such as only on reservations etc.
