if I pirate the move I'm giving 3c to a princo factory worker in the 3rd world... 3c might not sound like much, but it's enough for them to feed themselves for the day.
And don't give me the 'think of the artists' crap, Tom Cruise is not likely to go broke anytime soon.
I think that's a natural evolution of the word... I know I always say "That's GAY!" when things are wrong... but it's like a yo mumma joke, I'm not actually thinking about your mother, neither do I think that Microsoft Word has sex with other same-sex programs...
On a similar note, people commonly use "you're a faggot for having that" which means 'I'm jealous of you for having that' around here. Go figure.
> Why do you hate our troops? Because I don't live in your country.
Why do your troops occupy so much of the globe when no war is declared? Why do you even need troops, if your lifestyle is so good, why would you ever need to use deadly force to convince others you're right? If you don't read Lenin books, how can you know you don't agree with him?
Well those are really rhetorical questions, but here's an interesting question:
Do you, your troops, or your government care that half your population and most of the rest of the world hate them? Last I heard the job of your troops was to protect the interests of your government (and in theory, you)... not win a popularity contest.
Just coz it's copyrighted doesn't mean it's illegal!
Since we're in a global community on the internet, shouldn't we be able to choose which nationality we would like to be judged under in the virtual space? Just because I am geographically located in Australia or America, why can't I call my computer a embassy of India?
See, It's simple, in the physcial world, I obay the rules of my country. BUT, my computer and my virtual presence is treated by me the same way the Indian Embassy is... under there rule.
Therefore, all these copyrighted files which bittorrent around the place, do so under indian copyright law (ie. there is none -- long live generic medications!)
I would've gone with "A firewall is either a little icon on a network diagram that makes management feel secure, or a box that has 'PIX' or 'Checkpoint' on it that is in global passthrough because it's so annoying to try to configure, or any other device that performs NAT" whereas a corperate network is what (sometimes) connects your ancient desktop to the internet.
I think America's (strange) anti-monopoly laws would be preventing Microsoft from purchasing redhat.
Remember the hot water they were in with the DOJ late last decade because they owned too much of the software market and they were dragging out lines like 'apple / linux are a serious threat and have some of the market therefore we are not a monopoly therefore we are not guilty'... Wouldn't it be a universally stupid move to buy out your only remaining serious competition (except for that apple stuff with arts students seem to love (jk)) just when all the antitrust stuff is behind you?
No, I think this is probably a FUD campaign to say "Hey, RedHat is just like us, don't move to them because you hate us, because you WILL hate them too".
I hear what you're saying -- in fact, I can't really argue against it.
However, I really don't care.
I'm a thief, and I'm cool with that. I'm stealing 10c from the actors, writers and directors, and about $20 from the Advertising / Marketing / Legal firms that spew forth shit like Big Brother and Jerry Springer into our lounge rooms every day. -- And I'm cool with that.
Newsflash: People Lie, Cheat, Steal and do any mannor of other things that in a perfect world they wouldn't do. I'm no exception, and may the person without sin throw the first stone.
I don't remember any traffic cop giving me leighway because "I'm just a user trying to go from A to B, I don't want to learn about this technical car stuff like indicators and road-signs"
EFS is yet another example of IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT DOES DONT TOUCH IT. If you can't see the danger in encrypting important stuff so nobody else can see it and don't check up to find how it determines you from everybody else... and then don't back up... Hey, that's called learning from your own stupidity.
I guess it's IBM's fault I lost all my files because they left this 'del' key on my stinkpad without documenting what it does?

Here's a novel idea... before there was millions of dollars in selling virus scanners, the most malicious virus around was JUNKIE.
I guess it would be unpatriotic to suggest that virus scanning companies are actually paying people to write viruses and keep them in business...
I know it's offtopic (and offensive to some people), but maybe the answer is simply to take the money out of virus scanning (maybe by people building it into the OS) rather than switch to *nix.
