  4. Just a `freebee' on Microsoft Allows Pirates to Install XP SP2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know about elsewhere, but I don't recall seeing even one single `legal' version of Microsoft (or any other thing) software in my country, during the past eight years. Although that the world is not my country (Iran), but it is still a part of the world. And I quite beleive many third-level countries are the same. The security issues as far as I concern, is over having your Yahoo! ID hacked or similar over here. It is also very stupid for companies to run Windows or any other pirated software, because that they won't be able to receive complete support. They don't have [= can't afford] the code, so they can't tell their clients: ``I am really sorry that your entire buisiness website was replaced with ..... Probably Microsoft will fix it some time.''. Even if they do so, Microsoft will have to give away their patch again. And, sometimes, one comes back to think: Do these things really help security? Or are they written with such a haste that they even waste what you have already? I am not against Microsoft, but anyone that wants `guaranteed' security should come to OSS. At this point of time, the Iranian Government has elected Linux as the national OS, but there is still a `way' long way to go. Already, many of the Universities and webservers have switched to Linux.
    Face It: Untill the time that Little Jimmy and her Grandmother are sitting behind PCs, there will be _no_ security available to anyone at the PC level.

  5. WHY NOT? on Rapid Internet Growth In Iran · · Score: 5, Informative

    Dear People. You should know the following: 1. Iran is not an ARAB country. 2. The fact that who is the leader (mullah or not mullah), doesn't change anything. The computers will always live. 3. Internet will always find its ways to any country. 4. We don't hate the western people, rather they hate us. Example: IT is concidered prohibited by the American government the entry of powerfull encryption technology to Iran, and some other countries, which includes MD5. Therefore, we aren't allowed to d/l Linux (any reasonable distro) from US mirrors. 5. You know, there also exist some geeks, who don't care about politics at all. (Like me). 6. I am very intrested in OSS coming to Iran. It already has, to some extent. Check out: counter.li.org iranlinux.org and, kdefarsi.org . 7. Anyways, Linux and OSS will eventually take control of everywhere, including IRAN. 8. We are not TERRORISTS. We live like other people in the world. What is the point in being a terrorist anyways? How do you dare call us (including me) TERRORISTS? Have I killed you? Or what? 9. Religion has nothing to do with Open Source. Open Source is actually a special type of religion, if you put it that way. 10. May the source be with you. (NOET: Soorry for louzy spelling and grammar) --Regards, Darioush
