    Actually, it is PiratBYRÅN.

  2. Re:Do a lot of people still get phished? on Microsoft Sponsors Antiphishing Bakeoff · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am curious, how did they "get to her bank account"? A lot of my international friends have this scare of people getting to know their bank account number and I can't understand why. Is it really that easy to pull money from an account that *belong to another person*? Over here I need a valid ID or a PIN-secured cryptographic device (that look like a simple pocket calculator) just to move money between my own accounts. Is bank security really that terrible?

    Just because there is a software installed that provide root access from the outside it does not automaticly mean that your privileges for the root-account is revoked.

    virtually everyone who calls themself a 'capitalist' isn't. to be a capitalist, you must live off the revenue generated by capital you control. i suspect stronlgy that dada21 and others like him actually live by trading their labour to people who are, in fact capitalists.
    I disagree. I do not have enough capital in terms of monetary assets and equity to generate enough income to live off, but I am a capitalist. I live off "trading labor" as you call it, but since my person is something I own (hence, I am my own capital), then I am, in a sense, living off capital, as is everyone who has a job and doesn't rely on social assistance.

    Thats a interesting way to make yourself feel better - but the fact remain: it is incorrect. If you want to use a widely used term as "capitalist" and get away with it, use it as it is traditionally defined.

    You are a capitalist if you live on the accumulated profits from your capital.

    If you live on selling your labour to other, you are a "worker".

    It's Economics 101. Both Adams and Marx agree on this.

    Walk up to George Soros and call yourself "capitalist" and you will be laughed in the face. You might be a well educated white-color worker, but you are still a filthy worker who only got one function: create profit for the man who is writing your paycheck.

    IBM made counting machines, which the Nazis chose to purchase. IBM didn't make machines specifically (and knowingly) to commit genocide
    No, Nazi-germany bought machines to identify and track prisoners. These were designed by IBM specifically for that purpose. This is nowdays something that IBM doesn't deny - their only defense is that the USA was not in war with Germany at the time. Check out the book IBM and the Holocaust or the the award winning documentary The Corporation.

    Yes, its from the original SMB, not the crappy sequel 'Sumper Mario Brothers 2' that according to rumors wasn't even created by nintendo (rumor has it that they just bought some game, changed the graphics and released it in Europe and USA as SMB2). So it's all good then :) Cool work.

    Well, all of Apples (and all the other usb keyboards i've seen) for mac got a usb hub built in to them. You plug the keyboards usb cable into the computer, and plug your mouse into one of the two ports on the keyboard. Voila - even tho you got both mouse and keyboard hooked up, you still got two ports free :)

    And if you are a ereet d00d you are using bluetooth, so you got both of the ports on the box available anywas ;)

    Indeed, but how many people will BUY the game - and not donate money in one form or another for it. RMS could sell emacs because there wasn't possible for everyone to get online and download it during the uber slow links that was set up over the world today. Good or bad, today people can download *everything* for free (gratis, without paying) even if it's not allowed by the copyright owner - things are indeed diffrent.
