- input_sh 2y agoIn the early 2000s it was pretty much expected that each and every computer you encounter is full of viruses. That is, viruses on top of viruses that come by default from everyone running a cracked version of Windows XP.

- PHGamer 2y agoI remember a very popular windows xp key that always circulated on the net. it was funny as hell doing some contract work and a client giving me this code his former IT used to install windows. Im like is this what I think it is.. anyways he ended up buying a legit license since you know lawyer but still funny that I saw it in a business environment.

- qingcharles 2y agoBack in the early 90s my first "job" on the Internet was for a pirate group -- I had to scan and find open FTP directories where the group could upload and store their output. There was a specific job title for this position, but I no longer remember it.
