  1. Re:It's not just XP on Stop Christmas-Gift PCs From Feeding Worms · · Score: 1
    In the context of the article, maybe it's because XP comes pre-installed on most/all of the PCs that will be unleashed on the internet tomorrow.

    Maybe that's why the fuck it'd need to be activated, you turd.

    You nonce.

    You have 30 days to activate windows. Plenty of time to download patches.

    Also, you don't automatically get any kind of implicit internet connection - you have to set it up. That gives you plenty of opportunity to click on "protect my computer by limiting... blah blah blah" before making your first connection.

    Get a grip.

    Oh, the irony of calling somebody an "asshole", at the same time using "your" instead of "you're".

    ksh for scripts every time. Works properly with every commercial Unix I've used, and it's not likely to go away any time soon.

    Interactively, it's zsh all the way for me. Though I'm a die-hard 'vi' fan, I use 'bindkey -e' as I preferred the rapid line editing of emacs mode in older versions of zsh and I'm very nifty with it now.

    For ksh on Linux systems, you can make zsh look and behave near 100% compatible with ksh (88?) by invoking zsh as 'ksh' (via a symlink/hardlink), and there's also the 'pdksh' package.

    There are instructions for this, but basically you use "MozillaFirebird -remote openURL(%s,new-tab)", or write a simple shell script that eventually runs "mozilla-xremote-client openURL(%s,new-tab)".

    Also consider the problem of people having their "friends" write a big "S" on their forehead whilst drunk etc.

    I think a lot of people think this way. The gap between a legitimate product and a pirate copy is too wide.

    It's a bit of a smack in the face to the rest of the world though. Play by the rules, stay legitmate, get shafted (price-wise). Pirate to your heart's content, get discounts. Nice.
