X-Cop Fly Company

Going over old posts, I deleted those that either: 1. Contained YouTube videos of MAFIAA actors and musicians, with little or no commentary, whether or not they (or their users) had been removed at the MAFIAA’s request. Excluded were some posts where I could pull the video and have a part of the post be [...]

Many of you who came to the X-Cop Fly Company blog (or to Rogue Central @ coredumpcentral.org) yesterday were redirected to the SOPA Strike page. (The blackout on the X-Cop Fly Company blog started a few hours late for EST people such as myself, since the plugin I used here had a bug, and I [...]

Well, it’s your property, and when you get robbed, you call the police to defend your property, right? Old RIAA PSA Commercial

I had held for a long time that OpenBSD was the best, not only for security reasons, but to escape corporate and government influence. Unlike Linux and FreeBSD, which have involvement and sponsorship by the NSA, other government agencies & contractors, and large multinational corporations, with built in “remote attestation” and “optional” built-in support for [...]

Examples: 1 2 3 4 Rather than go on a standard [...]

When will politicians even discuss or debate any antitrust or anti-racketeering violations by this industry? So many violations are obvious, and there’s that “way they do business” (including lobbying for the right to hack and possibly doing it anyway) Stats the MAFIAA doesn’t want you to know about: 1. Child abduction: the fine is only [...]

Linux is just as much crooked as the other “unfree” competitors who make sleazy deals and use crooked NSA and MAFIAA technology. Flame me again this time asshole fanboy sheepfuckers, I’ll just spam your ad hominem bullshit comments this time instead of debating you intelligently the same arguments over and over when you just attack [...]
