I took the reference you were talking about as they are advanced in their own way, and aren't concerned in the way of the race invading them.
Because the humans use technology and get destroyed, that doesn't mean that its anti-technology.
Its anti corporate greed. Its like the good ol "the internet is bad because there are predators on it" The internet isn't bad, the predators are.

One thing that annoys me though is i have a pretty set job description of "Web developer" But people always ask me "So you fix computers?". But i'm not that fussed, especially when i live in a place where the biggest business is cattle.

Oh and Kdawson, don't call Windows "Windoze" and then complain about being called IT.

+1 to that.

This is a huge amount of FUD. i believe newgrounds struck this problem back in early days of flash 6? They host all their flash on a foreign server to the actual newgrounds server to combat this. i dunno how successful their methods are, but every time i went to newgrounds, i didnt see it hacked.

Its an old bug, but its a dam commonsence issue. Youre uploading someone elses data, you should be carefull.

Comment Re:Flash is Pseudo-DRM (Score 1) 372

It takes me a grand total of 15 seconds to get a flash movie. its as easy as typing into google "download youtube videos", copy and paste a link and then click a button.

I haven't seen a HTML 5 page with a video i want to keep to try pulling it out, but I believe someone will come along and make a one click solution to this, and fill it with ads.

Also, there was a torrent of a mac program recently that a lot of people downloaded and the keygen contained a virus. i think it was an iLife suite torrent...

Seriously. Everyone. With viruses, the problem is always PEBKAC.
