And verily, didst Clogwog hastily babble thusly:
PC,s with illegal crapware!

Illegal?
By who's warped and ****witted definition?
Oh, sorry, silly question.

I'm very sure it is against the law to install this crapware on a PC of your
employer, which makes it illegal crapware!


I've never had any issues with slicking the hardware they give me, and
putting on Linux. In fact, the customer's IT department seems to leave you
alone if you run Linux, as long as you update frequently.


My brother works in brokerage they have very strict rules
regarding personal software, USB keys and so forth. It's dictated
by the SEC and penalties do exist but at worst they are civil
penalties. Most often the person either gets warned or fired.
It's not against the law though.


Where I work, they have a saying:

"It is better to ask forgiveness than permission."

In other words, be safe, but git 'er done.

I'm very sure it is against the law to install this
crapware on a PC of your employer,

Maybe you live in a country where your employer actually
'owns' you, and can have you killed at will, but........

Other than that, it would only be a violation of some
company policy....hardly illegal......still enough to get
you fired though.

So, at least in the civilized world, I'm very sure you're
wrong.


In my civilized country (Holland), the "company policy" has
to be written down in a collective agreement, employment
contract, which is protected by law.
It's stricktly forbidden to install or use non company
software on a PC, provided to you by the employer.


Yes, I understand, but that does not make it illegal, you can
not get arrested and jailed, you will not be put on trial for
it.

So isn't it.. "It's stricktly forbidden to install or use non
company software on a PC, provided to you by the employer *IF
THAT'S WHAT'S WRITTEN IN THE COMPANY POLICY THAT THE EMPLOYEE
AGREED TO*. ?


Please don't shout!

I don't think 'forbidden' and 'illegal' are interchangeable in
this case.


I never stated he has to go to jail, I said "illegal", meaning:
1. Prohibited by law.
2. Prohibited by official rules: an illegal pass in football.
3. Unacceptable to or not performable by a computer: an illegal operation.
I'm convinced any employer would fire him right on the spot!

schestowitz I think it compiles mostly on Fedora and Red hat (RPM) cause
it's proprietary..


MATLAB is officially supported on Ubuntu, RHEL, SUSE, and Debian. Why
would he ask for Fedora to run MATLAB?

(And why MATLAB instead of GNU Octave?)

Are you telling him to jerk off?
Why don't *you* learn English, you rude monster? :-p

**** off:
1. Used in the imperative as a signal of angry dismissal.
2. To spend time idly.
3. To masturbate.
