- joe_the_user 17y agoGlad to be running a Linux desktop in relation to this ... though it sucks in a number of other ways.
- Zak 17y agoWhen you are just 20, you don't think a lot about ethics What planet is this guy from? I understood it was wrong to lie, cheat and steal when I was 5. If someone had explained to me what malware in 2010 looked like and how people made money from it, I would have understood that was wrong. I'd be a lot more understanding of an explanation like "I couldn't find legitimate work", but the idea that 20 is too young to understand or care about ethics is absurd.
