I mean that the article states that they found it in some p2p. This thread is a sequence of people stating that they can't find it and i'm offering a possible explanation.
Plus that thing about someone finding it on a p2p network: if you do a search on edonkey, you will probably find _anything_ you look for. It searches by name. Of course, when you actually finish downloading it, it will be renamed farm porn.
That's just the great thing about the Internet: there's nobody to stop you from showing the world how little you know.
Well a while ago it was the municipal wifi that didn't let you check your mail because it only provided access to "the internet", which would seem to be www.
The idea of Free software actually requires people to write it. A lot of it. A compiler, a kernel, system tools, etc. Stallman wrote a lot of code to that effect, which in turn allowed and motivated others to build upon it.
"The public-key encryption algorithm from RSA may be a better example of world-changing code, but I'm not sure it counts either."
To put things in perspective, the usage of RSA on a closed-source system does not guarantee your secrecy, as you simply can't be sure it isn't sharing your private key with the government or whoever.
Stallman freed us from that kind of oppression probably even before it happened. That makes him a visionary instead of a revolutionary, but it doesn't make him any less relevant.
While i wouldn't use the expression "giant fucktard newbie", I have to agree with the grandparent.
You don't need a 3rd party firewall, antivirus and anti-spyware. You just need to enable the built-in firewall, and use firefox. And the grandparents point stands, which is if the article author can't even be bothered to do what i said, why should we listen to his opinion on slashdot?
How about you get out of your high horse, and read the FAQ.
"It is immoral to buy one person's freedom with another person's freedom." applies as much here as saying "It is immoral to buy oranges at an Apple store". But hey, you forced your Orwell reference in. You're so cool.
Your concerns are addressed in the FAQ. And I can not thing of a single "reason to have anonymity" for each of your "100 methods of abusing anonymity". Its exactly for the reasons we can't think of that we need it.
The DMCA is the reason they encrypt a little bit of the data. Its enough to prevent commercial products using it but they wouldn't bother otherwise as it would just be cracked (which already happened).
The DMCA is a great corporate tool. They paid for it after all.

Yeah, because the Itanium has only brought good news to the companies that bet on it. /sarcasm

This is slashdot. If the torrent doesn't show up pretty quickly, and its late already, it doesn't exist.

It is pointless to write to politicians who've already been written checks.
People are just ignoring copyright and downloading all the content they want. An unjust law is no law at all, remember?
Copyright law is the epitome of modern pay-as-you-go politics. I, for one, won't have it.
"Too bad. I'd like to run OS X w/out having to pay an Apple hardware premium."
How long do you think it'll take until any such provisions are hacked out?

"Scientists invent water that isn't wet"
It also isn't water.
Ahhh, the arrogance of the Anonymous Cowards.
"You have such a small mind that (...) you belittle those that have another view."
I think God is trying to tell YOU something.
Or maybe, just maybe, we can look at the "magnificence of the Universe" without a "god" intermediary and stop being children.

Warcraft is pretty balanced at high level play. It's not your common developed-released-forgotten RTS.
In fact, your ideal army is absolutelly dependant on the enemy's army. Scouting is where it's at.

There are hardware keyloggers that would get you killed in such a case. Also the PC hardware may have been manipulated in infinite ways.
"For now, prime factoring is hard, tomorrow, it might not be."
It must be tomorrow here, because i can do prime factoring in a heartbeat.
Maybe the +5 Troll just made it all up.
That's like 189 of your neighboors coming to your house to tell you they disagree with the way you fuck your wife.
Actually, my internet already goes twice as fast since i bought a Pentium III, thank you very much.
But you still can't link to it from the U.S.

"Me: And yet I imensily enjoy running around in Morrowind (with the "beauty" exentions) and look at the scenery, the elfs, the landscapes and skys..."
Come back in 10 years and tell me you're still running around looking at the scenery.
I use your sig in conversation all the time since i first saw it. Thanks.
