Oh wait.. this is an open source community that understood what his intentions where and didn't have a knee jerk reaction. What I guess intelligence trumps mass panic and ignorance.

Incorrect assumption. Although there is a passive, appreciate communiy behind such an effort, you will see a joint effort by Italian, European and American authorities to eliminate this violation. Start with international wire fraud, malicious intent to harm, and move down the list to sopa-like attrocities such as violating terms of a website and you've got life in prison. Give them 5 more years of legislation and we'll have Texas-style hangings for these incredibly threatening comical hackers.

I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says,"Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says,"But doctor... I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

Comment Re:Core count obsession (Score 1) 207

Everybody knows more cores = more bitches. Nobody wants to be 'that single (core) guy' who is forever alone at the bar.

Not all cores are coreated equal.
I have a single socket, single upper layer core, which combines the power of 128 microprocs in an 8 core assembly for a whopping 1024 hidden 1mhz cores - almost 1 Ghz of raw power!
# of cores ftw!
