Some things that annoy me 8-)
Viruses
Some comments on viruses, including the text source
for the ILOVEYOU virus that appeared in 2000.
This was one of the first widespread email-attachment viruses,
that tried to trick you into running an executable attached to an email.
Charges against the alleged author, Mr de Guzman,
were long since dropped; charges against the real perpetrator,
Bill Gates, have yet to be filed.
DeCSS
The entertainment industry is working full-tilt to restrict your right
to run certain programs on your computer. One of them is a DVD player
for linux (another is any operating system you can trust).
Why is this threatening? A DVD player, after all, comes with
Windows. But for linux, they'd be under pressure to reveal the source,
and revealing the source would reveal the decryption codes.
A free utility exists to allow DVD play under linux.
