"Windows, MacOS [...] are known to have back doors."

What the fuck? I didn't know that.

7. In security, what are your opinions about full-disclosure of software bugs?

I think it depends on what the bug does. If the bug puts users at risk, the best thing is to inform the users how to fix it, without saying how to exploit it. If the bug enables users to break DRM, the best thing is to inform the users so they can take advantage of it.

<3 stallman.

The Stallman knows when the OS has a backdoor.

9. What are your ideas about hacking?
hax my anus

<3 Stallman.

Did anyone else notice the lame ass domain name?

>>7
I just did.

>>7
It was the first thing I noticed.

>>7
Yes. The fact that the number of zeros after the 0x isn't a power of two annoyed me too.

I read the bits on the forums, and whoever owns that blog is a fucking retard who's full of shit.

this weekend I will re-vamp my old 10K botnet, ready and steady

the 10K zombies aren't user PC's it are live hacked servers, which have way more power than desktops

Right. Because a ``server'' is completely different from a ``desktop'', other than the services it provides. It's not just the exact machine sitting in a different chassis running a different fucking set of services and applications.

If one wanted to argue that a botnet of servers is better than a botnet of PCs, I'm not going to debate that. But it's for reasons other than the computational capacity of the hardware -- the fact that they're connected to significantly fatter pipes is the only real difference in making a DDOS attack effective.

Also I'm really fucking drunk so YHBT IHBT HAND etc. Niggers.

>>7
I found it so 133t.

>>12
Shit was SO leet

I'm normally a fairly calm guy, but Stallman makes me want to fucking stab dolphins.

>>14
Why? Because he advocates that users should live in freedom? PROTIP: Without the right to tinker with the code, you are helpless. PROTIP: Without the right share the program, you are divided.
If you have the four freedoms, you have liberty to remain autonomous and free. If you choose proprietary software, you are helpless and divided.

Oh I forgot. IHBTC.

>>15
Crazy free software mumbo jumbo.
Back to soviet russia, commie.

8. What is the biggest mistake in the design of the Internet?
That is outside my expertise, so I have nothing to say.

windows is malware

big companies like microsoft, apple etc have to sole purpose of monitoring your porn habits

That is outside my expertise, so I have nothing to say.

>>17
PROTIP: We encourage people to sell free software for whatever the user will bear.
I personally earn a living from selling copies of free software, charging money for support, and charging money for guarantees and charging money for customising programs.  It's your own prerogative if you care to practise your right to sell free software.

>>19
His point is about control over the software. The user does not have control over proprietary software. Programmable computers are increasingly becoming an important part of our lives. Without the right to tinker with the code (and run it), the user has chosen to relinquish the autonomy they have over their life; they are helpless to help themselves and are subject to the proprietor's whims for help. Apple and MS are both equal in the manner at which they subjugate their users.

GNU GPL == fail

BSD license = win

RMS's idea of software "freedom" has too many conditions

>>23
Let me guess, you live in Somalia?

>>24
Let me guess, you live in Amerikkka?

>>25
Greenland.

hax my anus

>>23
If everybody had the right to all four freedoms to free software, then there would be no need of the GPL as it would be superfluous. The reality is, people feel the need to trap users into helplessness (deprive users of source code or deprive the right to run modified programs) and divide users from cooperating (deprive users the right to share software or modifications to the software). The power to subjugate users into helplessness and division is not a power that is worth protecting.

If you understand this, then the GPL is very simple: give users the right to all four freedoms of free software. All that legalese is for the people that don't understand that "this licensed software is intended to guarantee the four rights to all recipients of the software".

>>28
Stallman? in MY /prog/?
its more likely then you think

>>29
Richard M. Stallman is not from Greenland.

>>30
Girl from Ipanema goes to Greenland.

ROCK LOBSTER!!!!

>>32
What's that on your head?

Richard Stallmann (often referred to as RMS, although this seems to be an affectation based on the vast number of three-letter acronyms in computing) is one of the founders and director of the Free Software Foundation, and is a tireless proponent of open source. At one point he used to be a programmer, writing software such as Emacs (a text editor) and some of the GNU/Linux tools used by Debian and other free distros. Nowadays he does nothing other than give speeches about open source software, and attack projects which don't follow his ideology, such as KDE or glibc.

>>33
You've got red on you.

``In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane. After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans.''

My Personal Ad

I'm a single atheist white man, 54, reputedly intelligent, with unusual interests in politics, science, music and dance.

I'd like to meet a woman with varied interests, curious about the world, comfortable expressing her likes and dislikes (I hate struggling to guess), delighting in her ability to fascinate a man and in being loved tenderly, who values joy, truth, beauty and justice more than "success"--so we can share bouts of intense, passionately kind awareness of each other, alternating with tolerant warmth while we're absorbed in other aspects of life.

My 23-year-old child, the Free Software Movement, occupies most of my life, leaving no room for more children, but I still have room to love a sweetheart if she doesn't need to spend time with me every day. I spend a lot of my time traveling to give speeches, often to Europe, Asia and Latin America; it would be nice if you were free to travel with me some of the time.

If you are interested, write to rms at stallman dot org and we'll see where it leads.

Someone from /prog/ should email him and see where it leads.
