TPB is pretty much immune to that kinda threat.
They're over here on this side of the pond, and btw, they aren't
distributing windows. They're distributing a link to the actual download in
the form of a metafile. That's what bittorrent sites do.

Everyone who DOWNLOADS it however, are breaking the law, because they're not
only downloading, they're distributing as well. The moment they've acquired
enough of the file to start, they begin uploading it to others.

What a ****e corporate policy that is.
The most efficient method for downloading linux distros and open office are
via bittorrent.

Downloading pirated software is a grey area. You're aquiring it, but you're
not distributing it, the person who offered it for download is.

Same way buying from a street corner DVD scammer isn't illegal, but the
street corner DVD scammer himself is breaking the law.

With bittorrent, you're doing both. THAT is when it becomes illegal.

India is the second world. Possibly even first world.
3rd world is undeveloped countries, like ethiopia was in the 80s (still is?).
2nd world is developing countries.

Why would you support such nonsense from COLA's newest ****wit?

Note he doesn't say "my informed opinion is that the Windows OS is
insecure" or something relevant and important and possibly accurate.

No. The Great Terry Porter says ALL THINGS related to Windows sucks.

That would include great Entertainment SW like:

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_2[/url]
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioshock[/url]

Or great development SW like this:

[url]http://delphi.about.com/od/beginners/a/delphicourse.htm[/url]

or industry leading graphics SW like this:

[url]http://www.gnc-web-creations.com/pspawards.htm[/url]

One day the loonies who inhabit COLA will understand that liars and
bull****ters like Terry do far more harm to Linux advocacy than they do
good.

Everything related to Windows does NOT suck. And the fact he thinks that
makes anything else he has to say unreliable and biased to the extreme.

Newest ****wit? 1: terry isn't a ****wit
2: terry certainly isn't "new"
3: You REALLY need to acquire, beg, borrow or steal a sense
of humour.

No it isn't possible afaik.

It WAS officially designated Third World. It MIGHT *just* have become
second world. But I don't think it has. Corrections welcomed.

Don't confuse pictures of chrome and smoked glass offices in Mumbai delude
you over the conditions MOST people live in. Hundreds of thousands live
on the streets even in the most affluent Cities and Towns.

I spent considerable time there. And its something you do no easily
forget. Any labour going their way can only be a good thing IF you
manage to avoid the corruption which is a factor in all daily dealings
there.

Yes he is. Of the worst kind. He constant thanking of people for posting
is cringeworthy to the extreme. His mistakes are frequent and
inexcusable.

He is on a new lease. And he seems to think he is in charge I
notice. The boss of you? Wash that tongue!

I do have a sense of humour. Terry is not amusing either.

ahh... now Porter's idiocy makes sense: it's all a silly joke not meant to
be taken seriously.

Just as I didn't think this group could get a bigger idiot that William
Poaster or High Plains Hypocrite along comes Terry "I'm in charge"
Porter the groups "Wintroll fighter". The man appears to me to be simply
deranged. He is unable to spot links to Windows SW on pages he posts and
then tells lies about his original posts when corrected. While charging
FRIENDS to install Linux he administers their machines with telnet. He
sounds like a bit of a bluffer and deluded wannabe to me alright.

1] Quack will now be searching the debian repositories for one to download.
2] The troll will then complain/whine/moan it won't work on his hardware!

Are you referring to "Steve Townsend", "Hadron"?

Yeah, "he" was a fsckwit, wasn't he, "Hadron".
