When I got my Powerbook, I was so excited I immediately went out to Best Buy and bought ($230) a 5 user license of Leopard so I can get full functionality out of the wonderful operating system without worrying about any licensing issues — and share it with my friends.  When I can afford Text Mate, I will gladly spend $50 on such an awesome product, I may even send the developer a case of premium beer.

Unfortunately, a time will come in all of our lives where we will be forced to use software we just do not feel like paying for.  It really is difficult paying for something you don’t want - it is like buying Salad at a restaurant because your girlfriend wants to share, you don’t want to but you have to.

Now I have a bit of a problem. I love the broadcasting software I use for Radio Free Geekhut, unfortunately it is Windows Only - so I was forced to find alternative means :

Step 1. Open Browser -> thepiratebay.org

Step 2. Search : windows xp

Step 3. alt + f2-> transmission -> download torrent

Step 4. $ cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=0,0,0Windows_Xp_SP2.iso

Step 5. Haul a piece of shit p3 out of the closet to install this rubbish on.

Something I have learned is that stealing software can become a chain reaction - propreitary depends on propreitary hence repeat steps 1-5 however replace Step 2’s search query with many other “apps”, if that’s what they are called in Windows.

Just a thought - If I am forced to use Microsoft’s bad software because they are the “industry standard”,  Why in the fuck don’t they follow other standards such as those set by the W3C???

I will continue to steal their software until they create something that is worth paying for.

Fuck You Microsoft - Especially IE6
