Is it worth spending an extra $400~ for the meme bar, 700Mhz on the cpu and a better gpu on the MBP?

>Windows easily has the highest market share
>It is estimated that over half of Windows worldwide is pirated
So /g/, why is the DRM on Windows still so broken when MS could easily fix it?
Its simple, they WANT people to keep pirating Windows
If Windows somehow became unpiratable, there goes over half of their marketshare
MS will never crack down on Windows piracy because they care more about marketshare than profit from sales themself
Why?
With sales you just get money
But with marketshare you get control, you influence all software, the less computers are running another OS, the better for MS

This guy's asking the real questions.
I am learning how to hack from a friend of mine who is a linux Guru, he installed Ubuntu Linux last week (one of the most difficult operating systems to install, next to Arch). Anyway what are some things on the internet I should hack and how do I join an elite hacking group?
open the terminal and type ls -a
there you're a master hacker now

Hello, John.

Is mesh wifi a meme?
>>58979360
Everything is a meme.
>>58979360
Not a meme, but not a panacea either. Running Ethernet to every AP is always going to be superior.
>>58979360
you get more bandwidth so thats pretty neat
What is the deal with Sprint, they have really good prices
does their coverage suck or something?
what are they cdma or gsm?
they are LTE whatever that means
>>58979007

>>58979007
Sprint and Verizon are CDMA and their phones usually only work on their networks (I'm not sure about Apple stuff). ATT and Tmobile are GSM and thus can be used on any GSM network in the world as long as the antenna can pick up the right band.
There are exceptions to the rules though. Like Google's Fi network uses special sim cards that switch between Sprint and Tmobile. Fi is only available on 3 or 4 phones though.

I have a question for free software ideologues:
Supposing you want to do something that can only be done with proprietary software, is it ethical to do so?
I'll give an example.
Richard Stallman lists a number of services on his site that are against his free-as-in-freedom philosophy.
One of those sites is meetup.com.
According to Stallman, meetup.com is bad because it uses non-free Javascript code.
It is, however, well known that a lot of computing enthusiast groups host educational activities and other programming-related events on meetup. Occasionally, registration will be closed to non-meetup account holders.
Suppose somebody told you that there was going to be a GNU/Linux seminar hosted on meetup in your city. Also suppose that the topic of this seminar would be something that you could not learn about elsewhere, and that registration would be open only to meetup account holders.
Attending this meetup would allow you to make contributions to the world of free software. However, you would need to use non-free software in order to attend.
Would attending this event be worth registering a meetup.com account and subjecting your computing to rape by non-free Javascript code? Or would you prefer to avoid attending, even if it resulted in your knowledge of free software becoming outdated?
Or to distill the question to its essence: is it moral to use non-free software when it delivers an obvious benefit that no free software application can match?
As opposed to the popular belief, most of us have jobs and come to /g/ to look at battlestation pictures and talk tech, Nothing more.
Most of us don't give a shit about that Stallman fat autistic retard and his hippie ideologies.
didn't read but
>taking the free source libreware meme seriously
As someone who likes Stallman's ethos but doesn't take any proactive measures to avoid non-free software: probably ethical, but it depends on the person.
For Stallman, totally unethical, as his ability to manage without non-free software is how he reaches people.
For you, a developer, maybe it's worth you sacrificing your freedom (in a sandboxed VM) is worth it to ensure others can live free productively.
