If you "steal" a boxed set by running out the door, then you have a legal copy of the software, and then you are not a pirate. Unless the store catches you, which is a different story.
Since they don't ask for you to send in the receipt when you licence it, you are free to do so legally.
And I enjoyed the comment someone made about their computer serving them and not the other way around.
It's very sane to have hobbies that involve other things than your profession.
True, I think that if you have been in the field for a while and do this stuff for a job it isn't as interesting at the end of the day. Of course this doesn't mean that you don't love it anymore, it mostly means that you've gotten your fill.
And as far as CS majors go, well I think that people should remember that is a programming degree, and IT is more of a power point / excel/ hands on degree (whatever they do - I'm not 100% sure.) Someone I know recently said that they could not believe that someone who was almost done with a CD degree couldn't wipe a hard drive and reinstall windows, and I said, if they can program they shouldn't have to know that. You don't have to know it all just because you have a CS degree.
What I was wondering is if there was a way to get one the whitelist for all Earthlink users, perhaps through earthlink itself. I assume if they had something like this you would have to present credentials and policies that indicate that you do not send or relay spam, but as an employee of an internet company I want to know if our customers are going to be calling us because they can't get email from their earthlink friends. Faxing some credentials would be worth the headaches to many I think, and would still prevent much of the spam.

I happen to have been looking at access logs today
I thought I'd add what I found:
66.77.73.98 - - [10/Feb/2004:22:40:14 -0700] "Page requested" "Yahoo-MMCrawler/3.x (mm dash crawler at trd dot overture dot com)"
Where Page requested was the only Item I changed. Interesting. I guess it wasn't a mistake.

I'm withdrawing my friendster membership. Maybe if enough people do they'll reconsider their stupidity, if not, they aren't worth the domain name.
