Do you have the right to stand in your community's biggest mall screaming racist things or does the property owner/operator have the right to remove you from the premise?

Unfortunately, no, I haven't published the source code. I'd maybe like to commercialize it in the future, but it would require either some tech to compile PHP or would need to be re-written. I think it's a really simple syste

It wasn't actually stolen as it says in the README. It was a misconfigured Apache server which leaked raw, unprocessed PHP code. I received the code to home.php and profile.php but I didn't save it at the time (I was very very new

This is an honest question, but how can they charge for something they do not own? I mean, wouldn't you be able to use those letter forms just like they are?

Why was this flagged? I re-read the FAQ and news guidelines and the only thing I see that I did wrong is I didn't put "[video]" in the title.
