hiya i was searching the programs part on lime wire and put EDIT in the search box and it came up with lots of different things but one of them sauys 'crack' on the side of it, what doeas it mean???

You know that some software has a trial? whether it's 30 days or 90 days ect. A crack edits the software to make it a full, trial free programme. But doing this is illegal so don't try it.

He's right ^

The crack means it comes with a code or something to crack it so you get the full version free...

As he said don't try this *wink*

Be wary of these files. Some not only don't work but have viruses.

In these days and times, crack is never a good thing....

be verry carful of viruses if your downloading programs....

and yes using cracks or pirated software is "highley illegal" ... just like tearing the tag off your mattress... ;]

anyone who uses cracked software is an awful person and should be hung..... o0h migh , its so awful because people who use cracks are rapeing the software companies (whos owners are sitting in there jets hottub drinking shampain) insted of paying $200 for the 50kb spongebob screensaver like they should have.

people who use cracked software and or download music are the scum of the earth and are responsibul for such things a 9/11 , the boubonic plage outbreak of the 1400s, the starving africans , the apocolyps, the cancelation of "friends" and WW2...

it is more illegal than murder...


ROTFLMFAO!!!

AARRRRRRGH!

woah dude ok 9/11 didnt happen becuase of music downloaders

Guys and Gals

Although CRT post was "tongue in cheek" there is something important here that has been missed.

A lot of the software companies that put out trial software (15 - 90 days free use) are start up companies, guys starting to run their own businesses to make a living. So I don't begrudge "start ups" the asking price for their software, if their software is useful to me and, during the evaluation period, the application works as promised I will buy it.

Cracking the little guy just leaves the big boys, like Microsoft, the dominant players that always calls the shots.

EXES ON P2P ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED. AFTER HOW MANY WINDOWS INSTALLS WILL YOU LEARN?

exes dont execute unless you double click on them (i think) (iv never seen one go by itself) anyway as long as u know what it is and have scanned it with a good AV ther fine.

plus i have all my crap on my second HDD and backed up on zip disk so if windows dies for some reson i can compleatley recover in about 1 hour without losing anything.
