-=> Two observations:
-=> 1) Everyone who is against software piracy - for some reason
-=> - has some
-=> way-cool, elusive past that involves phreaking & hacking. Of
-=> course, anyone
-=> truly into the hp scene would have the intelligence to
-=> realize that cracking is
-=> an integral part of that entire world. Granted, a lot of
-=> kids into "warez"
-=> these days are mindless idiots - that's a function of
-=> net-mainstreaming. The
-=> elite of the wares community, though, are older,
-=> well-established and damn good
-=> at what they do.
Cracking!!!! Ha! Why the hell would any idiot have thier 486 or whatever try 
to crack the freakin pwd file on a Sparc or whatever!! No one in the so 
called "hp world" would think of ever wasting thier time with b.s. like that, 
just like warez, because hackers are very busy people - don't have time for 
petty games - and for ignort sons of bitches like you. Damn good at what they 
do??? Which is sit on a irc channel all day or watch star wars while the 
Windows 97 file leaches off a ftp server??? Sounds like some people i know, 
they pay America On-Line for its services....
-=> 2) All those childhood nights spent dialing 900 numbers - I
-=> mean, phreaking -
-=> must weigh heavily on your conscience. How can you steal
-=> from the phone
-=> company? I mean, whether it was using a PBX that wasn't
-=> yours or using a code
-=> or a diverter or whatever.. don't you feel so bad that you
-=> stole 20 cents from
-=> the phone company? Remember: that's WRONG!
who said that phreaking was about making free phone calls??? Instead of 
ripping off the phone companies, most phreakers would prefer to see how it 
works, get jobs from it, have it pay them (get a job and get away from the 
computer). No one i know who is a "real" phreaker is someone who is just out 
there to make free phone calls...the phone system is a very interesting 
thing, much more interesting than any stupid game could ever be. Leave the 
games to nintendo or atari.
