I dunno, maybe they're all terrible coders.

[Edit] Ha, just imagined what would happen in an interview for a new job for deathkoba when the interviewer finds out that he wrote some of the spyware that, I dunno, riddled the company PCs... :laugh:

Good programmers would get jobs writing good programs.

You're on a roll today, n0c. :p

I think it's just common sense. If there is a problem with open source, typically the community rallies and finds a fix. And I don't believe most people (in their right minds) wanted to be as hated as spyware programmers are. It just wouldn't make sense.

Deathkoba was probably just pulling your leg.

I guess we will find out sooner or later if he was.

I work as a programmer for one of the major "spyware" companies and I'll tell you one thing, it's only going to get worse as we figure out ways to stomp all over firefox and immunize the apps against spyware apps. We are developing applications for MacOS X as well.

So he's a spyware programmer, so what? I bet most of the unemployed people here would take that job in a second...

Yea and you can also sell crack to little kids if you got nothing else too, but that doesn't make it right.

Affiliating yourself with the devil is NOT sarcasm.

Yeah, but this wouldn't be the first time ATOT was collectively owned.

How is this like selling crack to little kids? He writes code that's not illegal. Yes, it's an inconvenience to you and others but honestly, I could care less if he writes spyware

It's actually pretty funny seeing everyone get pissed at him...

Fine, YOU can take over for every system administrator in the country for a day. Lets see how much you like having to deal with it.

deathkoba is just a trash talking nobody. He also gets involved with every anti gun thread as well as a few other ones. I wouldn't take anything he says at face value.

I also do sell crack to minors (especially the ones that thing they're rock candy!) and grow weed in my non existent basement.
