Wow, crackers work fast! I wish I could advertise that sort of turnaround for my sluggy freelance. How long since this was announced? 2 weeks? Something like that...
At any rate, we saw it coming.
Music is free speech. The most important part of music is the sounds it produces and the message it conveys. By this definition, Metallica, Kid Rock, and Dr. Dre is NOT music. So who cares if they don't offer their "music" for free? It's garbage anyway.
Yeah! Down with TV. Not watching TV sends productivity through the roof! I told my cousin to stop watching TV, so he gave it up for Lent and eventually stopped watching it altogether for the rest of the spring semester. He got straight A's as a direct result! Down with TV!
Ok, I once had a CD that I stupidly let my girlfriend borrow; which I never saw again.
Annoyed, I decided to download the cd from an undisclosed location (starts with DAL, ends with NET) and burned it to CD. now she received a gift and I lost nothing. Does this scenario sound familiar to anyone else? CDs should be GPL'ed!!
I find absolutely nothing wrong with what I did. As for the basic idea of song-swapping:
Who here has never recorded a duplicate of casette tape (remember those? think hard...) to give to their friends? Burning CDs is the same thing, except your "friends" are seperated by (n) miles of CAT-5 etc...
fully functional and secure network in 30 minutes
Functional??? Secure????
You're a damn idiot. Let me tell you a little something about how "secure" winbloze 2k is!
A good friend of mine who is taking summer classes at college (with a fat T1 pipe of course)had win2000 installed with IIS running and he was cracked through the hole that everyone knows about: the buffer overflow to get "root" access (of course there is no root in M$ really). I'm not familiar enough with what the patch is called that was released for it; but Jon said that he had service pack 2 on it, so he thought he was "secure" (like you dumb shit). Apparently the cracker was able to run an invisible FTP daemon on his machine and loaded down the schools network severely. The school found out and now Jon's in all sorts of trouble.
Needless to say, Jon doesn't run win2000 anymore;)
He took the SuSE 7.1 disks that I gave him and under the GPL, he now has a STABLE and SECURE
secure and microsoft should NEVER be used in the same sentence together
you are absolutely right. microsoft is NOT superior, not even close. another thing we need to have in our commercials:
fade in from black
wam! blue screen of death
"windows is fat whore"
with a big red line through it
tux smiles and winks
fade to linux.com
the end. die m$
Ok, here's the deal with open source. The concept is very simple. If you don't know how to do something, ask someone else. Call them up, or look at the source code. I've been doing web design for about 5 years now (finally in industry) and I must say without the "view source" option, I wouldn't be HALF as successful. Open source is not a controversy, it is a necessity. Is it just me or is Microsoft the kid in kidnergarten that wouldn't let anyone have any toys? Guess what? The pc industry is everyone's. You can't buy everything and most importantly -- and we (linux users) are slowly learning everyday -- you can't buy us and you never will.
