I welcome different point of views and please make your answers have at least some sense


Answer
No.

As previous answers note, many people think "hacking" is compromising network security. While you can "hack" network security, that's not all that "hacking" is. Hacking is tamperiong with things you own or have a right to tamper with. Tampering with things you do not own or have a right to tamper with is cracking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hat

A hacker is never malicious. He simply likes to experiment with and modify things which he owns or has permission to tamper with. It's hacking if you modify a vacuum cleaner to take a different style of bag than it normally takes. It's hacking to create your own PHP function.

Crackers are thieves. They intentionally break end-user agreements and other property laws with the aim of depriving someone else of that person's property rights, such as defeating software copy protection or defacing his Web site.

The arguments for hacking are entirely defensible: Once you own something by giving fair consideration for it, it is yours, by even the simplest of interpretations of property right. If I get something from giving you something, we both are better off.

Also, Adam Smith, in Wealth Of Nations, taught us that it's our labor, our use of propety, that gives us the right to that property.

Therefore, changing something you own for the purpose of increasing your knowledge, or making that property more useful to your labor and output, is as basic a right as owning property. it doesn't violate the software makers' rights because he already received something of value which, at the time of sale, he agreed to accept from you in return for his software.

That he may not want you to improve upon his software is patently foolish; the mere act of using his software to accomplish a task is, in and of itself, an improvement and the entire idea behind capitalism.

Cracking exists so you can basically use someone else's property without giving him consideration, or for the purpose of allowing others to take from that person without giving him consideration. That's the definition of theft.

Therefore, any of the natural rights that are associated with property are gone in the case of cracking, because if property is a right that extends naturally from labor, then both parties' labor must be honored in any transaction for those natural rights to apply. I, as software maker, need to get something of value from you, the user, for it to be a fair transaction.

If you defeat a software protection scheme that is on software you purchase, and you don't distribute that cracked software to anyone else, then you are actually hacking, not cracking, and I would fully support your right to do so, especially if you can prove that in doing so, the software works better.

But most people associate cracking with distribution of the cracked software to a third party, which is wrong and rightfully should be treated as a crime.

Looking for Stick Vacuums?




Farisoft


I am looking for a Stick-like vacuum which shouldn't come with the hose and the bulky one which contains the rubbish bag. Is there such vacuums available? It should be able to be used on Hard Surfaces without the rollers under the floor tool.


Answer
Some of the top brand names for stick vacuums are Bissell, Dirt Devil, Hoover, Black & Decker, Electrolux, Euro Pro, Miele, and Eureka. The Euro Pro Shark and Black & Decker DustBuster Cordless Floor Vac were both listed on most sites, but found too many reviews listing them as less than adequate.

The Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum ($50) is the consumer choice for stick vacuums. Reviewers consistently rate this model as the best in stick/broom vacuums and it features a power nozzle, 7.4 amp motor, swivel nozzle, European styling, bagless dirt cup, and it's lightweight and maneuverable. Owners say it works great on pet (dog and cat) hair and dust. With smaller floor vacs like this Hoover, you will need to clean out the filter often. Overall though, users like the washable, transparent dirt cup that offers a multi-stage filtration system. The 20-foot power cord should give you plenty of room to clean up any mess and still find a wall plug-in. The Dirt Devil 083414 Extreme Power Stick Vacuum ($50) is another quality vacuum that also ranks high in customer satisfaction and consumer reviews.

The Bissell 3106A Featherweight Lightweight Vacuum ($30) is the most popular budget stick vacuum that is not only easy to use but it's bagless. It can also convert from a floor vac to a hand vac which many reviewers say makes it the most versatile broom vacuum on the market (similar to the Electrolux EL1000A Pronto Stick Vacuum). It cleans carpet, upholstery, draperies, stairs, and bare floors. The handle has been ergonomically designed for increased comfort. We read 1 review out of about 20 that was negative for poor quality, but the rest were all very positive and only good things to say for the money. The majority of owners say the Bissell is the "best value" when it comes to buying stick vacuums.
