Also it is useful when you ar ejust messing around to try new things. Who on/. hasn't pirated flash because they wanted to try it out without a stupid watermark on everything they made? (Isn't "messing around" what leads to SOME great inovations?
Surprise surprise an AC post telling me to get a job. I do have a job the only problem is it's in medical research (read: NO MONEY!!!). I think most of my money went to "doing the dew" (so that I coudl stay up all those nights I was developing plugins for ImageJ.
Yes yes...I get it you were only kidding...
We were told in our first CS class that the first piece of software that was pirated was "QBASIC1". Evidently Mr. Gates left a disk somewhere. I guess this is just lore, but it seems to me that pirating C#/ Flash (college) or Visual Basic (when you are in high school) is a great way to learn on your own to develop software. I know I know you can always learn with java, but when I first started programming command line programs did complicated things were considered wholy stupid compared to a flash program that did relatively little.....
No way dude I still don't buy it. The standard photoediting software is photoshop. There is a reason for this. You can simply do MORE with it. Also you use filezilla. Why not jsut mozilla or gaim as an example? Neither of those require any configuration. You are missing the point. How many kids will be allowed to "destroy" mom and dad's computer while trying to fix a simple bug like in Fedora Core? The point is that you can pirate and learn on windows without any serious damage- downlaod photoshop run setup adn go. Wiht the gimp it's download teh correct rpm. (High Skill Level) Then run the install command. (Even Higher Level). It's jsut not worht it.:::wah wahh wahh:::
There is a tiem and a place to stop piraxy and it's after you are actually making enough/ you are skilled enough that you can start working with OSS. In the mean tiem use windows and pirate the s*^@ out of anythign you can. (how do you think photoshop/ 3D studio max becmae so big?))
I'm poor!!!!! I'm GLAD ALL OF YOU people have either: a.> THe time to configure OSS b.> The money to buy the closed source stuff
Looks like you fools have forgotten what it's like to be a high schooler or a college student. Let's not forget that most people who have any kind of experience with computers got that by learning new software. It's nice to see you still expect kids to be allowed to install linux on thier computers and then mess around with them until they can get them to work correctly. I for one learned all of my windows skills of pirated copies of Dos (Dr DOS at that!), Win3.11 / 95/ 98. And photoshop forget about it. The student version of it costs well over $100.00 at my school. WTF do i get that money from? Looks liek you guys are jsut out of touch. I expect that most people in CS have pirated. Lastly, piracy could be a try before you by deal. (Don't tell me "fully functional" demos cripled by some mark in the output are a good alternative). In short- You (as in you you) suck!
The best thing to get would be a Sony Clie. I use it to read files. There is an acrobat reader- and you can load everything on a memstick. The best part other than the cost (Buy it Here.
It only has 16 Megs of ram- but you can buy a memstick- or if you dcide you are jsut going to read txt files you should be fine.
Mobipocket is a great reading software for teh Clie and other hand helds.

Why not download it now? M. Moore said it's okay. You can find it on http://suprnova.org or some other site like it.
