    If I go to an art gallery and take a photo of a painting, does that make me a pirate?

  20. Re:People are waking up... on Microsoft Blasted For Lax Security · · Score: 1
    from the article...
    In October Microsoft released a fix for a different SQL Server problem that if installed in the expected manner would have made patched systems vulnerable again, he said. "If I followed their advice I'd have been vulnerable."
    the point of the article anyway is about the difficulties of keeping a MS operating system patched.

    big difference between OSS & MSS is the fact you don't need to reboot unless you are replacing the kernel. updating the SMTP server isn't likely to have seemingly unrelated side effects such as locking out users

    let's say there's a great song called "the badge" by pantera. it's only available on the "mission impossible" soundtrack (however the "far beyond driven" album was re-released, the only difference was the addition of "the badge")

    do i:

    • spend $30 on mission impossible soundtrack, despite not caring about the other ~15 songs
    • spend $30 on the re-released version of the far beyond driven album despite already owning a copy of the first release
    • download it and spend that $30 on beer?
