If you read the article carefully, unlike the submitter, you will find that gold files (and all searches?) were logged while 'illegal' downloads *could* have been logged. But the article is very vague. Where are those scanned documents??
The password cracking might be illegal but I don't see any illegality in accessing "hidden" directories. If you fail to secure your network the line between legal and illegal access evaporates.
This project aims at making a graphical development environment based on a Basic interpreter, so that we have a language like Visual Basic(TM) under Linux(TM).
The phenomenal quantity of bugs and inconsistencies that makes Visual Basic so delightful persuaded me to start this project;-)
It seems that Microsoft is aware of the poor quality of its language, as VB.Net is not backward compatible with older versions of Visual Basic. I think they have thrown away the Visual Basic interpreter source code, and that VB.Net is just a.Net runtime compiler whose syntax looks like the Visual Basic one. Well, it's just my own opinion...;-)
I want to clear up any misunderstanding immediately. Gambas does not try to be compatible with Visual Basic, and will never be. I'm convinced that its syntax and internals are far better than the one's of its proprietary cousin;-)
I took from Visual Basic what I found useful : the Basic language, the development environment, and the easiness to quickly make programs with user interfaces.
But I dislike the very bad level of common Visual Basic programmers, often due to bad pratices imposed by the bugs and strangeness of this language. So I will try to make Gambas as coherent, logical and reliable as possible, and I hope that Gambas programmers will make effort in return !;-)
At the moment, I'm looking for programming help. The kernel of Gambas is now stabilized, if not well documented. There is a component example to help people learning how to write components.
I hope other people will join me to help to increase the possibilities of the language. There is so much to do !

so you must work for Nvidia

the plural of lego is lego
