Whether it is a felony depends on the laws of the country it is in. It isnt a DOS as you well know in any case. The computer can still work. It is just a disabling of a program. If you CHOOSE to make it your ONLY OS that's your choice. If you have, say, a dual boot XP/Linux, your computer still works. They cannot do it, even if you are in Australia. I am sure the aussies have a similar law, but even if they dont, the US law will cover that action since they are an American owned corporation. Not really sure if that is a thing in Australia at all but it isnt a DOS so it is really not the subject. Likely a real DOS is against the law but I dont know for sure. Gregh... you are right about that.. you really do not know for sure... before you post, try researching and learning... it is DOS under the laws of the US. And, since M$ is an American comapny, they are bound by US law.... This is the end of this thread as far as I am concerned- you are not the type to learn- you know what you know, I will not confuse you further with the facts... lol http://boston.internet.com/news/article.php/1485861 LAW HA! And just why would an administrator for a Bank no less, have a server with propritary/highly secure information connected to the net without an aduquate firewall in place? Sounds like one place I'm not putting any of my money. |
