Your Questions About Publishing Software Free
Thomas asks…
Looking for a news story about a man who started publishing math lectures online.?
I recently saw a story about a former software engineer who quit his job and started publishing his own math oriented lectures online. I believe his name was indian, but I’m not positive.
He turned his closet into his own lecture hall where he records his lectures and publishes them online for free.
Does anyone know his website or where I can find this news story?
admin answers:

His name is Salman Khan, and his website is at http://www.khanacademy.org .

How can people publish Serial/Product Keys for software online? Ref: iWork ’09?
Are these keys legal to use, how have people got hold of them and why do they publish them for free.
I have found on YouTube several Serial Keys for iWork ’09 and was wondering how can people publish them without losing out themselves?

Basically, they do it because they can. Whether it’s because they’ve got small penises, weren’t breast fed when they were babies or because it’s their way of getting back at”The Man” – whatever that means – is open to debate.
What your asking is why do people become criminals. No-one knows and the prisons are full because of it.
Actually, I knew someone who really does do this because of “The Man” excuse. He was a draft-dodger back in the old Vietnam days and went off to Canada for the duration. When he came back he started doing stuff like this to get back at ‘The Man”. Come to think of it, he took grants from “The Man” to finally get a college education – then got himself expelled after three weeks for threatening a lecturer with violence. I know many corporate types – who are usually perceived as money grabbing POS – with more ethics than this guy does and I don’t have anything to do with him anymore.
