Have you ever used a torrent site? The comments section alone is always a huge warning if anything is up, and why would a cracking group intentionally ship malware? That's a wonderful mental image, I mean could you imagine someone in TRSI going "hey guys, just for a laugh, you wanna put a virus in?"

So... umm...  You are saying...
Cracked software wouldn't contain anything bad, because the cracking group wouldn't want to do that to people?  So it's safe to DL a cracked piece of software from a torrent?

Hmmm..

Really?  You're really saying that?  :confused:

What I mean is.. um..er.  and I have used torrents.. still do from time to time, but.. um..

Well..  I'm not sure what to say to that actually..

@ desiv: his post I kinda agree with, yours is the one I don't get...

That's what makes our world such a wonderful place...

Yep, this board and the community in general is about a bunch of old farts complaining that the young ones just don't know how good things were back then....

But...

Well, I'm a ..er. bit .. older than 27....  but...

You don't know how good things were then...

and ... and...

OMG  it's TRUE!!!

:laughing:

... It's a bit like tinkering with old cars, it's fun.  It's a hobby.  That's great...

That's a good metaphor...
What gets me are the people who say, "Yeah, it might be fun, but it's useless nowadays!"..  When that's not true.
It depends on what you want to do with it.
An old car is great.  It will still get you from point A to point B.
It won't win any speed or mileage competitions, but it can still do certain things, so I wouldn't call it useless.

Same with the Amiga to me...

These days people do not expect the machine to be brought down by an application bug.

You don't use Windows much then?  :roflmao:
Kidding.. I kid..
(as I reset my Windows machine because there's an app I can't kill with Task manager taking so much CPU the system is crawling..  No, I'm kidding of course.  That NEVER happens in Windows.. )


Seriously tho, I remember "back in the day", we were all involved in this one particular fidonet chat stream.  There were 2 chains of thought going on as to how get memory protection working for the Amiga.
I was on the Matt Dillon side of the argument.  I can't remember who was the "force" behind the other side.  They both knew their stuff.  (I was much more an observer, but I had more faith in Matt; got my D.I.C.E. from him directly).

Commodore actually hired the other person (not sure to do what tho), and the argument fizzled.  Matt moved on to BSD fame (infamy). :-)  No Amiga memory protection..

Fun times.. :-)

Ah Butterfly BSD, I haven't really kept up on the BSD scene, how's Matt doing with his distro?  ANything new and exciting in it?

Dragonfly.. Close.  :-)
I thought it was funny that he got "removed" from BSD kernel stuff because he disagreed with them on memory issues. (and so started Dragonfly)
It just sounded SO familiar.. :-)

I do have a BSD zealot co-worker and he's impressed with DragonFly although he prefers NetBSD I believe.  I've only dabbled in the BSD arena myself..

Hey, do we all get to play the "I'm going to state things as facts with no impartial statistics to back them up" game?
Wow!  Sounds like fun...
:roflmao:
There's lies, damn lies, statistics and then OS statistics...

They will all tell you what you want to hear depending on who's talking.

A bad admin can ruin any OS.
A good admin can fairly well secure any OS.
If someone really wants into your server and they are good enough, they will get in.

If PCs were so bad and Amigas so good why are there a billion or more PC users and a few hundred Amiga users?

I'd say that was Commodore's business practices..

Funny thing is tho is that if CBM had been successful, there'd probably be a win.org forum where retro-windows users would be posting about the complete waste of resources that AmigaOS 2010 is; and that they could do huge spreadsheets with only 1M back in the day!!!!!

..or not...  :roflmao:
