And the Stupidity award goes to......
mushrooomprince:
Oh god, can we please not bring politics into these forums ? I think mes's biggest problem is that a lot of its users are living in the UK and Canada.
Just out of curiousity ( please be honest ) how many of you smoke ?
Anyways, yes i agree the author of that article needs a big stupidity award.

By "lowest common denominator" who are "ruining stuff for people who know what they are doing" I assume you mean conservatives. Although I do actually like to think about them dying.

I'll agree with Mushroomprince here. I'm not fond of conservatives myself, but what does this have to do with this topic?
flap:
I just find it ironic when conservatives come out with that kind of elitist comment. The "stupid" people he's referring to (I don't think he's talking about middle class journalists writing moronic articles) are actually pretty harmless, and if you're going to start talking about groups of people society would be better off without, then the right-wing middle/ruling-class should be where you start.

Good point. But what makes you think that he will remain harmless? With shit like the Patriot Act, I wouldn't be surprised if that 'middle class' journalist gets his wish, whether the Bush regime actually hear him or not.

Just a thought to add on to my own. I think 'Viper' said that we should prosecute virous writers and other 'cyber terrorists.'
First off there is no such thing as a cyber terrorist. That whole deffinition is complete fiction pumped by the american media.
As for virous writers/skript kiddes etc....
Why charge them. Its not their fault that a giant manopoly has created shitty software and illiterate people now have this software.
Windows needs alot of attention. Thats just a fact! If these same people, the ones that don't know anything about computers, were running a mac, Linux and/or some form of BSD, then those same virii attacks just wouldn't happen!
Its not the fault of the consumer, nor is it the fault of the virus writers, Kiddiots etc....
It is the fault of major goverments, polotics and corperations! Windows breaks down, which means it provides jobs for people to fix them. It makes money for intel because each new relase of windows NEEDS bigger hardware! It also makes money for the AV vendors because windows is so wonderfully buggy!
There is an entire buissness modle around the wintopian sociaty. One that linux would eliminate because linux, BSD & OSX is more secure, stable and can run in older hardware. So why punning those virous writers for the on going politics of the goverment and corperation?
Pluse every county has their black hats! As long as a country has a system of goverment and things are run by computer technology then those countrys will also have their own black hat army. So anti hacking laws just don't make sence! if those laws did exsist then little ol' ashcroft over there is in a whole heap of trouble!
