Think about what is going on here in order to hack it. You would have to reverse engineer the software, bypass the authentication/security mechanism, then connect to a server with your IP address to pilfer music. All the while, M$CO and the RIAA are sitting back with a piracay and DMCA greivance. This would be about as bright robbing a bank naked, in broad daylight, and using your own car as the getaway vehicle.
I find it fascinating that some of the parties involved are standing-on-soap-box-high beating a cyber-security-drum when they themselves have a myriad of security issues to take care of in their own backyard. Seems to me if they can't handle the responsibility, or action required, to make or maintain a resonably secure software product, they have no credibility in a matter such as this.

How can you say that, dude? The lives of Hilary Rosen and Jack Valenti are most certainly in danger if someone is pirating songs or movies. Hilary might not get that Caviar Flambe' Cheese Souffle for breakfast and starve to death, and Jack might get killed in an auto accident because he couldn't afford the air bag upgrade for his H2 and drove the Testarosa that day instead - and all because you couldn't find the time to "dig through" your damn log files....Sheesh.
Always in tune and you can take it anywhere. I have a mid 80's model, so there aren't any Firewire ports, but newer models probably have them. Never a wrong note!
Only reason I can think to build from source is for customizing the application. It is nice to be able to strip unwanted commands from an ftp service, or patch a bugfix quickly. Dependancies can be a pain, but usually only if you aren't doing it right. rpmdrake and gnorpm are maturing well making rpm installs less furcated.
It's confusing to people because their are essentially two versions of QT. QT free and non-free QT. ergo:
"The Free Edition licenses do not allow the development or distribution of commercial software."

If you kill all the geeks, who is going to tell you your printer is simply out of ink, or the batteries are dead in your mouse?
Besides, why draft productive members of society? Go get a couple c130s and fill em up with supermax inmates. at 35000 feet, everyone gets a weapon, a chute, and flying leap out the back end into the sand.
Microsoft has been patching patches, to patch patches with patches, for the past 10 years with limited success. It's gotten out of control and now they call the really big patches "Upgrades".
This article seems more a testament to the futility of patching windows, not a dig at making mistakes.
Then C.A. needs some killer PR that is going to dis-associate themselves with SCO. Right now, they are appearing to support the SCO Extortion Ring (tm), and the Microsoft Racketeering Foundation (tm)
and it is going to be curtains for them if they don't take some action to suggest otherwise. Simply saying "uh.. we don't agree.. with..uh..SCO.. and umm... they, you know, really suck for what they are doing." As far as I'm concerned, C.A. is lathering itself up in SCO fecal matter, and trying to tell the world they don't smell like shit.

How many more revisions of Windows are going to claim to be the death of DOS? I don't think the market MS is pimping to even knows what the hell a DOS is anymore... hmmm.. then again, if they use Outlook, they may be quite familiar with Denial Of Service.

I get to stare at "professional" code every day. It is nothing like what was in the textbooks. There is acres of room for improvement. silly little things like something called a buffer overflow are present in many of the implementations. I cannont believe my eyes somedays, and it's a wonder that the product that this certain company puts out, functions at all. It is under the cover of closed-source that these things are allowed to persist, and will probably never change. The company just keeps issuing patches and revisions and fixes what is terminally broken. Futhermore, the only reason these "bugs" exist is simply do to human laziness; something that could be overcome by another simple human, with the right principles, without an "intimate knowlege" of the hardware.
You know, all this sounds wonderful, but I do not believe they will be able to implement a system this complex and maintain reliability. For chrissakes, the majority of the world is still being crippled by a simple little fucking email attatchment.
The camera is susceptible to a variant of the MSBlaster.A virus. Once infected, the camera emails the virus to everyone in your address book, and attempts to connection to SCO.com to purchase linux lincense. After succesfully installing a back door in your ass, the shutter speed of the camera is increased to 10 times it's normal speed. The resulting weight of all the pictures causes a downward motion of the wearers neck, and an upward motion of their ass, wich suspiciously ends up pointing in the direction of either Redmond Washington, or Lindon Utah, depending on what direction SCOX stock is headed.

an XML parser/compiler for building installer binaries? Oh yeah, I can use that for.. uh.. something...
Someone give me a patent for wet sand!
what's this "outside" shit, overclocking or something?
Apparently the cosmonauts were downloading some Metallica tunes and the RIAA came knocking at the door with a summons.

That's a relief. For a minute there, I thought that read "Windows XP could break some applications". Good thing *that* isn't what it said.

Only 1 out of 20 computers at the University of Washington is running Windows?? Good for them!
