Hello Charles - 

CS>> If anyone is interested, I can show them how to legally
CS>> overcome 2 above without using the pay service. Either
CS>> send me email or post a question to me in the Linux echo. 

CA>> When a poor man steals it might be that there is no
CA>> justice in the land. When a man who is _not_ poor steals
CA>> it is always because there is no justice in the man. 

CS> I've been very patient with you and have tried to be
CS> understanding even when you post nonsense like the above. 

You aren't in a position to be anything _but_ patient. 

CS> But I admit my patience is running out. You seem to be the
CS> type of person who likes to insult others either purposely
CS> or because you don't know any better. 

I thought the same about your one-upsmanship for awhile then
decided you couldn't be that ignorant. I now believe you are
just a blowhard. 

CS> And it's not only here in this echo - I've witnessed that
CS> same behavior on your part in every echo that I've seen you
CS> post to. 

There are blowhards in many echos, yes. 

CS> I suggest you take a look at your Bible and read Proverbs
CS> 18:6-7 and learn from it. 

I read it. It doesn't apply here. 

CS> For others who may not have understood the original post: 

Reading the words that you typed into your original post it
certainly sounded as though you had found a way to take
software from Linspire without paying for it. Now you
expand/elaborate and chastise me for not reading your mind? 

You have made references to copying materials in ways that
reads as illegal in the manner that you have described it.
Usually I just ignore it because I don't think you receive
instruction, you only _give_ instruction. This time it seemed
blatant and I thought you could use a nudge. I guess one as
grand as you perceive yourself to be doesn't 'nudge' easily eh?

CS> Linspire can be purchased by itself or along with the
CS> ability to download software from their server. The
CS> download service is called CNR. The software downloads
CS> offered by the Linspire folks for the most part are open
CS> source or free. (Firefox, Abiword, etc.) The download
CS> service just makes it easier to obtain that software and
CS> install it. (The service is of course optional and does not
CS> have to be purchased.) 

CS> However, since Linspire is a debian distro, debian
CS> repositories can be used to download the software just as
CS> it is done in other distros of Linux. I won't go into the
CS> details of how to do it, because it requires some editing
CS> of a file and use of the Linux command line from its
CS> Terminal. All this is legal and does not in any way
CS> constitute stealing on anyone's part. 

Indirectly, yes it _is_ stealing. 

Linspire has been good enough to offer free copies of their OS
on a trial basis. You take that and then encourage others to
avoid any payment to Linspire for additional software so that
Linspire gets NOTHING even though they have employees who
'labour' to produce what you are using. This is how you repay
their generosity? How will _they_ feed their families with
people like you encouraging others to NOT pay them anything at
all? 

Luke 10:7 - ... for the labourer is worthy of his hire.
