@ Rich & Juanito thx, i'll go take a peek, glad to know it's in there.

 I'll go lookie ("whilst I'm silently contemplating dd if=/emulated/sdcard0/boot of /Windows/System32 | >boot.ini")

##if=contacts where 'contacts'=outlook.exe;
##then func.spread && if=contacts where 'contacts'=droid then func.doublespread;
##@echo-off if exist C:\Windows\System32 then echo"Google wants your Children!" && pause 5 then echo"Take it like a man!";

Oh well out of extreme boredom I find myself resurecting ancient technology from back in the 1990's, thing's that most people have never heard of, the whole world is not just Microsoft, Apple, Google & Linux!

Used to be a time you could execute the Amiga research Operating System but those day's appear to be dissappearing, as AROS is now partly Linux and as to the concept that many eye's make all bug's shallow, I dont buy that for a minute considering it took them "four" years to tell anyone that there secure sockets where dribbling a nasty disease all over the place!

Thankfully for those of us who still love the command line, there are plenty of alternatives, I wont mention what they are because the last thing you want is a load of "jar-head's" on steroid's going can we put back-door's in it?!?

Jolix - now there's a blast from the past && After-Dark!

It's worth reflecting that most of the guy's who programmed the beginning's of the Web where actually adverse to the idea of encryption in any form to begin with, because they originally said, "it made them uncomfortable", well I can agree there, the whole issue of not being able to trust your own secure sockets would make anybody uncomfortabe.

The best bit is what's slowly leaking out now in the news, that the advertising agencies, the marketing profiteers, etc where all granted immunity from prosecution by the west wing. That's like giving a load of guy's who've been against free software from the very beginings of there advertising and marketing astro-turfing, a free license to get away with being as evil as they like!

Then when it comes out in the wash that the majority of the afore mentioned companies are happily evading paying taxes, they wonder how that happened?! Kind of a no-brainer, when they're very actions gave them the free license to do it and get away with it!

As for the GTK & the GNU that GNU License is getting to be a bit of a Joke if people can suddenly come along and start putting (dot) Net into Linux and it's worth reflecting that every single time the GTK toolkit advances, all the libraries behind it "dont" then they all play catch the rainbow. Then the end user's play patch the broken held libraries because the maintainers coulnt be bothered to make sure that there awesome update went smoothly for everybody. As they say "Gnome is Not Unix" but then Gnome isnt a Disk Operating System (DOS) either. I can't help but wonder how many developers just threw up there hands in disgust and walked right out the door!

If you wanna make sure your disk's are clean a low level format with LILO seem's to be the way to go, no incorretly reported missing drive space, like what you get if you update to SVhost & Service Pack 3 and with respect to the whole privacy debate, if your machine isnt connected to the world wide web - isnt that "privacy" enough?

Whatare you talking about? Can you summarize in two sentences?

Yeah, pretty much, people think finding vulnerabilities in other peoples system's is fun & cool...

But how's this for fun & cool, it cost's people there Job's and it cost's people there lives.

The maintainer of ProFTP is a good example, when he got sued by various oorperations for leaving them all vulnerable, after a load of nerd published the vulnerability in his software he went home put a noose around his neck and threw himself off a chair when he realised he was financially ruined!

Then there's Han's reiser and reiserFS, his wife nagged him day in and day out about how his filing system would never be popular, so he went and fetched an axe from the shed and after he'd decapitated her he fetched the shovel and buried her!

I wonder how many people lost there Job because of a vulnerability, that someone else kept there mouth's closed over!

Did Snowden do the right thing telling everybody that Google had turned into a huge unstoppable search giant, that was screwing everybody? Well it's easy to elaborate and see how some people make there money in the software industry!

That about sum's it up in three sentances!

Perhaps we should all just take a moment for reflection, that after iBM/OS2 Warp Microsoft does a runner with the source and up pop's 95, 98 & NT - then to compound it further, they say we're not putting bug's in OpenSSL, well that's "good" to know, considering there own UNICOS system that runs on those ever so expensive CRAY mainframes is maintained by Linux!

That would be those systems that they have to justify the spending of billion's of dollars on to break "encryption" and that would be the very same "encryption" that protects those very system's from other people bypassing the "encryption" to over load the heatsink and turn 20 Billion Dollars of equipment into a pile of smoldering plastic!
