Why not just buy a list of a few thousand card numbers from real hackers.. fucking tossers. It is amuzing that there is actually ways to get cash off CC's these days. Carding was never popular because you had to get physical goods delivered and then sell it to make cash.. ie you had to know a fence and frankly if you're gunna go into that business why not just steal cars or break into houses?
I think it's hilarious that a company that lives off of software designed to help people pirate music is acting as if they are morally superior to the "evil" RIAA (a legal company trying to protect its own interests).
The RIAA isnt a company it's a trade group and the only reason copyright holders have their "interests" is because we the people choose to sacrifice our right to copy their work because we believe it encourages more artistic works (via economic incentive). If we the people decide we no longer want to honour this agreement then it will take a massive political uprising to sweep them away, specifically because of trade groups like the RIAA. That is what the "silly napster logos" are about.
if you left your car unlocked on a busy street and someone opened the door, looked in the clove compartment, found your cell phone number and gave you a call to tell you it was left unlocked you would thank them, would you not? I can see the respond to my post already "but it's not like their server is left unlocked, it's more like someone uses a slim jim on your car and then calls you to tell you they could do it". Bah.
There's one thing to say "all this information is available if you've got 5 hours to go searching for it" and it is a completely different thing to say "we've got a database full of this information on just about everyone". If it's all been compiled and stored somewhere that is worth stealing simply because it takes 5 hours to collect this information on one person. So the doubleclick database is worth a few gazillion man hours of searching and they know things that I couldn't find out even if I tried (like stuff you answered on a survey or your answers to the purity test on TheSpark). This database is a web stalker's dream. People would pay hard cash for a breakdown of potential dating partner's interests and the like. Imagine a searchable database keyed on dress size.
man, does everyone have to dis marketing people? They serve an important part of any business. If it wasn't for them marketing people who you think do nothing your company would not have any customers and you wouldn't have a job. That said, most the good looking chicks in any tech company are in marketing, another good reason to keep the anti-marketing-ism to a whisper.
yah! and you only have to download 400 packages or update your compiler and compile a metric buttload of source to get it working and it trashes your old 1.x kde install!
Maybe if you advertise the living fuck out of it you might get some people to buy it. Microsoft is in a position to do that. Personally I'd rather a decent size Mac tablet, because the Newton was just such a great product;)
Jezz, when was the last time you went to Frys or Circuit City? The smallest laptop on display with that lame half screen that you use a virtual desktop on, that's a Crusoe processor inside. I know this simply because there's 200 signs pointing at it saying "look, an actual product from Transmeta, buy me, buy me!" which no one does as soon as they try it because of that lame screen.

Plus the fact that Sony likes to fuck over their developers by not giving good specs. Nintendo gets hostile at anyone who wants to develop for their platform and Microsoft seems to be the good guy here claiming that development will be open to anyone who knows how to code for DirectX.
So is Microsoft going with the traditional business model of selling the machine at a loss and making it up on the games? If not, exactly how the hell do they expect to compete? I dont care if there are more games for it (which there will be if you can use directX to code for it) I'm not going to pay PC prices for a console and then pay exorbidant prices for games too.
oh for fuck sake man. You can just hold the apple key to do the second mouse button. I do it all the time when using the Mac's at work. For people who tout that they would rather "learn to use the command line" than be "instantly able to use a GUI" most geeks refuse to learn anything about the Mac before they start dissing it.
If you'd all stop blabin' about franklin for 5 minutes, you might want to read about the Async work by Sun directly from the source:
here. God I hate articles that are written offline and then just cut and pasted online. It should be a rule, unless you have a link in your story, it's not a news item suitable to be linked to on Slashdot.
There's a certain stupidity in your comment that is exactly the stupidity which is present in my sig line. Think about it. What do you think an average is?! Exactly 50% of people are below average intelligence and exactly 50% are above it. I would like to think that you are below it but obviously I am wrong.

yes well most people with half a brain dont use the same drop house more than once. But no one said this guy had half a brain

cops go to his friend's house, his friend says "I have no idea what you are talking about" they search the place, can't find the equipment, no case.
I have no bed, I have no house, I have no wife, so that's not saying much!

I'm still trying to figure out if the cute blonde I see at the weekly staff meeting is in marketing or in sales. :)

You can always use "secure microsoft VPN" software. bwahaha. But seriously, encrypt your data stream.

Man, I wonder if there will ever be a time where people get together with their consoles and tv sets to have a LAN party instead of lugging PC's.

Their opinions most definitely count and that's why we should be so afraid of them.
Let's face it, people who say "your opinion doesn't count" are facists and that is exactly what decency laws say.
