Hacking is hacking into remote targets. Cracking is cracking software on your local computer by reverse engineering and debugging it.

Don't talk about it much publicly. You never know what kind of people there are on the internet and what they could do once they figure out what company you're talking about. Now Slashdot, what are your suggestions to him?

Yes, I will lock the source including all the modifications that I make to it. Then I will only offer a binary, and no one will get the source for those modifications.

I paid for it myself. Like I said, I use it for work, so can pay too.

I do my professional work with Photoshop. I wouldn't say I'm an artist (artists don't paint with computers), but I have very professional use for it. Yet you say I have no clue what it is used for. Care to tell me what it's good for, then?

Just like with colocation and other hosting services. You have to trust someone though, and big cloud providers are required to be good at what they do. They're too big to fail.

That's easy to fix, just reset the timer. We should change 0 to 2000 anyway, it's much better place for it than 1970.

I also prefer it as desktop OS, and not just for games. I use Linux on servers because that's where it shines best, but Linux in general either doesn't have the desktop programs I want or they're poor options. Like for example I love PHPEdit for editing php files, like I do with Visual Studio for .NET programs. Linux lacks compared to those, especially if you want to develop with C# or any other sane higher level language or for Windows. Another case is photo editing. There's both Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro along with several video editing programs and website designing programs like Artisteer. Those don't support Linux and there just isn't anything equivalent. Linux totally lacks on software catalog side of things. There just isn't any programs available.

Are you saying all gamers are idiots?

Now that's a good support cycle, almost 10 years. How long Firefox has? At most a few months, but seeing their recent release cycle it looks like two weeks.

This is also why many people prefer Windows and Mac OSX. They want support and bug fixes.

Wait, what now? So when it's about Android vulnerabilities it's "Faceplam. This just in: complex software has security vulnerabilities." and when it's about Windows vulnerabilities, Gates should get a death sentence and we should bomb half the planet to kill every human being has ever even touched Windows?

What about if I don't sell it, but give it away for free? I don't profit from it. Yet, I don't give away the source code like I'm supposed to. But as I donated directly to some Linux coders, that it makes it ok right?

Should we do the same with DRM software?

If we go that route, then I could take Ubuntu and wrap it up in proprietary code. After that I donate to some Linux programmers who worked on some small part of it ("but Canonical just steals from the poor coders!") and it's justified!

Of course we can forget about the other people who worked on Ubuntu, just like we can forget about the other people who made that artists album happen.

Actually, Firefox is the only one losing now. Even IE is just slightly gaining users.
