Not Hackers and copyright thieves.

You may find it better if you ask questions like this on a different forum devoted to the criminal element as you are unlikely to get anything but abuse and put downs here.

Although I did much prefer the graphic explanation. I think it got the point accross a lot better :p

by hal 9000

So do I. :D

But as that turned a question into a disgusting thread I thought twice this time. OH the pain of it all I didn't even slip in the M$ Anti Piracy Hotline Phone number to ring to provide an answer to the question. :(

by hal 9000

Actually I found this in the Off Topic Heading and I was just so shocked I didn't know what else to put in there. I was looking for the [b]Friday Yuk[/b] got to keep things in prospective don't we? :D

If I knew exactly where this one was from I may have looked up M$ Legal Department and given then that phone number and told them they they would answer all their questions. :^0

Or how about kidnapping Melinda Gates and demanding a free copy of Windows that not only worked but was secure. That would have sealed Melinda's fate as it's not possible. :D

Just to clear up any confusion in case you don't understand the title line. This is a site for IT Professionals that work all day to combat thieves like yourself.

Why is it people that wouldn't go into a store and steal a fifty cent candy bar will steal several hundreds of dollars of software? [i](note, ticket price, not valued at that much)[/i]

If you are unwilling to purchase the Windows product, go with Linux which is free. Save yourself from the life of a scumbag and turn your life around now.

And jamesatmaisonverre, as it is Friday and I am in such a good mood, you are cordially invited to kiss my a$$ if you don't like my post.

by jdclyde

but I never CLAIMED to be nice to thieves, hackers, or spammers, and have no intention of ever starting.

If someone comes in with a legitimate question, they are treated entirely different.

by jdclyde

That is [b]MISTER[/b]ShiteHead to you. :p

by langballse

you like ganging up on new members for standing up for others.Who's hal?

by charliespencer

You catch on quick. No product IDs here, back doors, malware, etc. I do have the passwords for the free version of Pipe Dream that came in the Verbatim floppy boxes a decade ago, through level 24.

by dawgit

I still buy those too. I have a stash hidden around here somewhere. Geeeze, I wonder if I have any lucky keys in there? ?:| -d

by jamesrl

We are ganging up on theives.

I hire programmers. My company sells software. Stealing software is wrong. That takes money out of our pockets, money that pays for my salary.

There are alternatives out there if you want free software - you can get Linux and Open Office.

James

by langballse

those prices?Your pckets are well lined.I dont think that james would like being called a theif?Thats below the belt as you have no proof of him steeling,do you?And to prove another point,that is why companies employ hackers to defend their business.A bit two faced.

by jamesrl

You have no idea at how well lined my pockets are or not, nor does it matter.

If you are asking for product keys, thats asking someone to steal software for you. How else can someone view that request? How is that below the belt? If you ask someone to steal on your behalf, you too are guilty of stealing.

Not at all two faced. Professional is what it is. When you make a product, would you like to have me steal it?

James

by jdclyde

If you don't like the price, find a different product that you feel is a value or go out and write your own.

Only a scum (such as yourself) would feel it is ok to steal something just because you don't like the price.

Go away loser. Ask your mommy for a raise in your allowance and you might be able to afford a legal copy. Tell her you NEED the software to do your homework and she might believe your lying a$$.

The jails are full of people like you, and always room for more.

by steffi28

Hal. Hal is one of the most helpful most resected members on TR.

And im pretty sure that I wasnt ganged up on and Ive only been on TR since October. (well unless you count that time they told me off for apologising about joing the Impure Brigade) but basically it just annoys people when people come on here thinking that everyone is gonna help them hack, and its the wannabe hackers that get ganged up on.

by jdclyde

Wannabe's should be ridiculed.

This clown is just a common thief though, not a wannabe.

by jdclyde

A better man than you will ever hope to be.

Watch and learn, and someday you might strive to be more.

You will need to develop honor and integrity first though.

by langballse

american arent you????????You shold lay off the drugs

by jdclyde

you would see it is clearly a case of NOT ENOUGH drugs, or I would be feeling very mellow ......

Dumb kids today don't know anything!

by hal 9000

But Gunnies!!!!!!

Well I suppose that's a drug but at least its one of the more common legal ones that are acceptable to use anytime that you feel like one.

So JD are you changing your view on that Black concoction that addles your brain? :D

If what has been put on recently by the Irish Posters is anything to go by that stuff is lethal. :p

Col ]:)

by langballse

is the key,not the software.James did not mention anything about steeling or anything like that , but you have him branded.Why should i pay for smething that is over priced and designed to rip joe shmo off.You stiill did not respond to why companies like yours hire hackers to protect them?did you.Brand yourself before others.

by charliespencer

Since you two get along so well, why not start a new discussion where you can discuss the rest of us by yourselves?

by jdclyde

with "aseholes" and jamesatmaisonverre's obsession with shite and head, the two of you should run off to a nice Irish pub together, have a few rounds, and then go back and bugger the heck out of each other.

Go ahead langballse, "take it like a man"..... :0

by jdclyde

anyone accusing YOU of theft? Did I miss something?

All you did was make excuses and validate people that are hacker wannabe's and theives.

by dspeacock

The people here are NOT "ganging up" on you lang....we just have a pronounced aversion to pirates, and others of that ilk who, by stealing software, make our jobs all that much harder.

If you take that attitude into a business environment, you'll be a permanent fixture on the dole because no one in their right mind will hire you for any position that deals with computers.

by charliespencer

Is this a new membership for you, jamesatmaisonverre??? Sure looks like your poor typing, spelling, and previous posting style. Nobody else here spell it "shite". No one else fails to space after a period or a comma.

I initially had a line in this post apologizing for any false accusation, but I edited it out. The more I look at the postings, the more apparent it becomes that these are two usernames for the same person.

by langballse

it is of course sherlock?????????All new members can be james@maisonverre.Good excuse SHITE....OPPS....WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO TYPE IT AGAIN SHITESHITESHITE.And what are you saying about my spelling.Dont you like dislexicks?????

by tig2

That the only decency in Ireland is difficult to find.

You don't need to come back. You can just stay away. We don't mind.

Edit to add:

I am dyslexic. I don't seem to have the problems that you do. Wonder why?

You managed to completely piss me off with that particular line, however.

Guess what? You have to consider well your insults around here unless you are out to piss everybody off.

Guess what else? I have received junk mail from better than you. Not a judgment call- just an observation.

Edit- because I can

by charliespencer

We've been in the middle of an SAP implementation and I haven't touched my Fedora box since September. I probably won't get a chance until late March. I did find a nice 2" ceramic penguin to put on top of it, but at the moment it's just sucking electricity to keep the NIC LED on.

by jamesrl

The product key is what you are really being sold when you buy the software. If you lose the Windows CD and use someone else's to reinstall, if you can reuse your original key, you are golden. Thats why OEM's like Dell and HP/Compaq and so on will replace your OS CD for $10.

But I suspect you knew that.

For the record I never said James stole anything. You wanting a product key or a hack are soliticing people to steal for you.

As for hackers, my company does not hire them, though there are some who do. But the big difference is that they are hired to do a job - they have persmission to hack, and they are not keeping what they gain through hacking. Most hired hackers are hired not to steal software but to try to gain access to secured networks, in order to make them more secure.

Are you suggesting you want a product key to make the software more secure? Somehow I think if MS hired you to hack their software, they would give you some keys to play with.

Does anyone else suspect btw that James and lang are one in the same? The similarity in grammar and spellling, and the fact they are both posting from the same country is suspicious.

James

go to warez...........As you have never been to ireland,its a very common word 'yanks' and 'liars' and 'dictatorship' and 'osama'

by charliespencer

I'm sure you'll be very happy at warez. They're your kind of crowd. One piece of advice when you get there: don't use your e-mail address as your username.

Now, who wants to be the first to flood the mailbox of james@maisonverre?

by jdclyde

Remember there is a ring in hell reserved for thieves.

by jdclyde

When you get back to that, make sure to post how things are going.

Have a PII 400 toshiba laptop that I want to convert from win98SE to linux after I finish school in a few months. That should be fun.

by dawgit

that sounds just like mine. I had an old T-she-ba here, that sounds the same. CDX 2100 or 2400, I'll have to look under it again. I tried several versions (Distro's) The main thing is memory! It will want lost of it. (remember to subtract the vidio from what you think might be available, -ouch) I actually got a lot of help and advice from Toshiba. They have a special section just for us Linuxers.
(I must be getting old, any other time I'm triping over it, now I can't find it. it must be on the other terminal, sorry)
Anyway it can work. Kernal 2.2 through 2.4 should not be a problem (2.4 is still my favorite) Definatly not one of the Mandriva's, I couldn't get close to working. Red Hat's Fedora Core 1.5 (not really first choice) through 2 (better, will work) And of SuSE. I got the SuSE 6.2 to work good (kernal 2.2) and also SuSE 7.3 worked good (kernal 2.4) I did have 1 major problem that seems to be related to the Toshiba NB's -The sound card drivers. Every available one I found that was said to work, would KILL the NB whenever sound was called for. (I hadn't wanted it for the sound anyway, so I just disabled it in the sys program, after that, no other problems) The NB management programs from Toshiba even work (good too) I did put the system Win98SE back on it, but for other compatability issues (not relateted to that NB)
Good Luck, and have fun. -d

by jdclyde

If anything, is should be fun, and I am really looking forward to it.

I WOULD like it to have sound, as it has a DVD drive, and it would be able to play music and movies with it.

When I get to start playing, I will make it a discussion with a play-by-play. (june or july)

by jamesatmaisonverre

not only do they think the irish are all gay now , im a theif ,they think im a hacker names langballs and im an alchoholic,who is the only person in the world that cant type and says shite,despite the fact i only put in the word 'shite' because shit will be blocked.That's great.Thanks america,dont come to my country by the way tubbies.
p.s.obesity kills,Try to stop the desease

by jdclyde

but you are clearly on that list. Go look "lang" up. I am sure he will be a valuable asset to your organization. As he has to steal software, he sounds like he could use the job. And such you have such a big heart for people that dwell in a "hive of scum and villainy", go out and make a difference in the world.

by dawgit

it can't be blocked, I see you're still here.

by dontknowwhatimdoing

Even though my info states I have been a member since 2002, I just started posting to the site in October and I have been treated with courtesy and respect from day one. The same members who are "ganging up" on James are the ones who helped me when I joined. The difference is that I didn't ask them to help me do something illegal nor did I try to insult them. (I figure I will start insulting them once they are more comfortable with me and I them. :D ).

As far a HAL is concerned, I have never had any dealings with him personally, all I know is he is respected by the members that I have dealt with and that is good enough for me.

by charliespencer

There. You've been insulted. Feel free to shoot back :-)

I lurked here for about two years before I opened my trapdoor. It's just good form to lurk for at least a few days and check out the attitudes before contributing.

by dontknowwhatimdoing

That hurts! I guess no one loves me anymore! :p If you are going to play that way then You Stink. How's that for a big bad comeback. :D

by jdclyde

It makes me wonder if we are again part of the twisted testing?

I made the MISTAKE of pointing out the flawed methodology of him using his already known and contentious member ID to see how people would react.

People here 'gang up' on new members? Are we all in grade school? Suck it up and join in or just go away.

by maecuff

you aren't supposed to WANT to be a whiny ass titty baby.

Then I agree that you "Dontknowwhatimdoing"! :p

If you drop the whiny and baby and insert the word 'and' between the other two words, now that's what I want!

I always do as I'm told no matter how stupid [b]SWMBO[/b] instructions are. :p

But I do draw the line at attempting to make a Windows box work properly just because some female end user thinks that it should. After all I didn't design the OS that they are using and I'm not responsible when they install software and trash the OS thought most will blame me for allowing them to do this. :(

I do have the perfect hack for someone who believes that Windows is overpriced and defective software.

Use any of the free Linux distributions.

Start here:

and pick a version to start with.

You might want to try Ubunto or Lindows for your first foray.

Just finished the first week on a "day to day" contract. As in, I show up- day to day.

My hair hurts.

The contract could well go permanent which would be good. Problem is that I need new surgery- which I could work in to the deliverable scched- but with the new insurance, may need to start from scratch.

I need to start a new thread on the idiocy of insurance. It's MY life they are playing with- why don't I have a voice???

How can you look yourself in the face after saying something that horrible? Do you eat with that mouth? :0

by hal 9000

Rest assured I've been unable to sleep properly ever since making that silly post and I feel suitably admonished.

Because I live in AU I can only answer for Microsoft in this country and they firmly believe that everyone should have a copy of Windows. If you can not afford one they prefer to give you product keys and allow you to install off a friends CD rather than have you think that you have a Pirate Copy. They honestly don't care at all so they have a special Department set aside just for this.

So if you ring AU [b]1800639963[/b] and ask for a [b]Ms Pip Marlo[/b] she will be only too happy to help you with a solution to your current dilemma. And will insist on visiting you to give you a free complementary copy of Windows. As she obviously can not come from AU to do this she'll arrange for her counterpart in your country to do the same. Sorry but I don't know the Person to ring in your country so you'll have to bite the bullet and ring AU for this very profitable free service offered by Microsoft to everyone who is unable to afford their products.

I hope that answers your question and solves your current problem.

Col

Honestly I'm really so very very sorry if I hurt your feelings I do truly apologise for my silly and thoughtless actions.

by tig2

How in the world are we going to keep the great Microsoft conspiracy alive if you are going to just give anyone that asks that kind of information? I realise that you may not care about maintaining the secrecy but think of all the others that you could potentially put permanently out of work! You are not doing the industry any favour by giving away secrets!

Repent your evil ways! Recognise that we cannot allow the average man to know our technical secrets!

What if they all started doing their own thing??? Huh??? Anarchy, I tell you!

I'm sure you won't mind if we use this response for the rash of other new users who have asked similar questions in the last couple of weeks. There was another one today but I'm hoping he'll get pushed of the bottom of the Questions list before anyone responds to him.

I wish we had a US contact name and number to give these people. Then they could call MS and get the level of support appropriate to their requests...
