I'm sorry, do I not fit correctly in your pigeonhole? I didn't mean to cause you any discomfort.
Any questions?
Illegal filesharing could conceivably nuke the entertainment industry - not completely, but enough to get their attention. They should consider an alternative to the adversarial approach - deploy their own fileshares and make it economically and technically desirable to use those sources. It would be like nuclear power for the entertainment industry. But no - they just seem interested in garbage like the TPP, torrent cache posioning, idiotic lawsuits, domain takedowns and other WMD technologies. Entertainment is becoming the North Korea of industries.
With that said, I do routinely install PuTTY - I've gotten tired of the old arguments:
(ME): "What ports should I use on the jump server, and is Netcat installed there?"
(COWORKER): "Just click on PuTTY and go to the Tunnels part . .
(ME): "Can't you just tell me what ports to use?"
(COWORKER): "The only way I know how is in PuTTY."
Anybody but me ever felt the urge to punch the monkey?
If Tsarnaev were to choose to commit suicide during a life sentence, I suspect he could find a way. Does that assuage your distaste for my motives?
The dead do not exist for all their lives in a six foot by ten foot box. They do not weep for lost freedom, nor yearn for sunshine and gentle wind. They do not slip gradually to the madness of long isolation. Tsarnaev should be made to know these things.
He loves me. He really, really loves me. *sniff*
And for the record, we who have been in the industry long enough to remember a time without all these resources - we who are decidedly not "Digital Natives" - we're the ones who created FaceBox, YouScreen and WhoBook et. al. And we still have a much older word for "Digital Natives" - we still call 'em "n00bz".
It's later than you think, the joint Russian-American space mission has already begun.
