Save time – Buy a hard drive pre-loaded with porn!


A new hard drive manufacturer, Sextor, is entering the market (pardon the pun!) by pre-loading all of it’s 120+ gig drives with porn and music MP3s to save users the time and effort in downloading them.

The announcement, made earlier today, says that Sextor will be providing pre-loaded drives as from October 9th 2007 in three different flavours, general porn, MP3s, and TV shows. A spokesman commented on the decision.

We are providing a general porn version because, according to trials that concluded on March 10th this year, people are not keen on going into their nearest computer stockist and asking for “a 250 gig of anal.” So we are instead including a general selection that has been carefully categorized, and sub-categorized, into genre and sub-genres. We’ve had a team working on this around the clock for the last month, to eliminate embarrassing mistakes. It was hard work, but we did it.

In contrast, the MP3 version of the drive will be sold according to genres, and many major record stores have asked to stock them. With some labels now looking into selling music on USB memory sticks, this can only be the next step. The larger size allows DVD- and HD-quality videos, too.

When asked about the infringement of the artistes rights to complain or comment on this new format, a spokesman for the IRAA said, “We are a very reasonable organisation, representing the record companies. If they want to sell their artistes music in this format we will support them.”

The finally variety of drive is the TV show disc, that includes complete seasons of your favourite shows. By doing this, Sextor are eliminating a massive market share from several bittorrent sites. One owner, who requested to not be named, said,

No one’s downloading from us anymore. We’re losing money! If we can’t get some original content soon we might have to close down, because no one clicks on our porn ads while downloading a Debian iso.

The choice of TV show was governed by the Sextor MD, Ger Cha Yeet. He said that trials had included the complete collection of Lost, including the final season. But customers returned them saying the last episode was missing since the story never concluded. We consequently switched to 24.

Sextor can be contacted at 61441 April Drive. Montana.

All I can say is...It's about time. Sextor is definitely on the cutting edge, and I can appreciate their "no B.S." strategy to selling pre-loaded hard drives. I can't remember how many times I'm asked for a "Midget Pr0n pre-load" at Best Buy and been given the ol' WTF. I also "dumbfounded" the good folks at Dell by asking for a pre-loaded USB "backup" drive with the Beatles, U2, and Metallica discographies just in case my 8-tracks melted in the car.

On a positive note, I *always* make point of clicking the pr0n ads while downloading Debian ISOs, just 'cuz that's what keeps free software free. :-P

True. You can say about porn whatever you want, but it does what it was intended to do: keeping our systems free.

We should also shut down pornsites and instead let people just download free operating systems. You get porn (ads) with that anyways... :D

Where the hell is it? Sextor doesn't appear on any searches. Is this BS?

Biography

When builders go down to the pub they talk about football. Presumably therefore, when footballers go down to the pub they talk about builders! When Steven Goodwin goes down the pub he doesn’t talk about football. Or builders. He talks about computers. Constantly...

He is also known as the angry man of open source.

Steven Goodwin a blog that no one reads that, and a beer podcast that no one listens to :)

Anybody up to writing good directory software?

Since the very beginning, directories (of any kind) have had a very central role in the internet. (I have recently grown fond of Free Web Directory. Even Slashdot can be considered a directory: a collection of great news and invaluable user-generated comments. As far as software is concerned, doing a quick search on Google about software directories will return the free (as in freedom) software directories like Savannah, SourceForge, Freshmeat and so on, followed by shareware and freeware sites such as FileBuzz, PCWin Download Center and All Freeware (great if you're looking for shareware and freeware, but definitely less comprehensive than their free-as-in-freedom counterparts).

Interview with Mark Shuttleworth

Mark Shuttleworth is the founder of Thawte, the first Certification Authority to sell public SSL certificates. After selling Thawte to Verisign, Mark moved on to training as an astronaut in Russia and visiting space. Once he got back he founded Ubuntu, the leading GNU/Linux distribution. He agreed on releasing a quick interview to Free Software Magazine.

Is better education the key to finding better software?

I read David Jonathon's article Anybody Up To Writing Good Directory Software? the other day, which got me thinking about software directories in general. As David mentioned, many of the software directories one finds when doing a quick google search are free as in beer, not as in freedom. But what interests me is the software directories that already exist, providing a combination of both free as in beer software, and open source software. Sites such as Freeware Downloads and Shareware Download don't advertise themselves as providing free as in liberty software, but each of them have a good selection of open source software available... if you know where to look.

Creating a user-centric site in Drupal

A little while ago, while talking in the #drupal mailing list, I showed my latest creation to one of the core developers there. His reaction was "Wow, I am always surprised what people use Drupal for". His surprise is somehow justified: I did create a site for a bunch of entertainers in Perth, a company set to use Drupal to take over the world with Entertainers.Biz.

Update: since writing this article, I have updated the system so that the whole booking process happens online. I will update the article accordingly!

So, why, why do people and companies develop free software?

More and more people are discovering free software. Many people only do so after weeks, or even months, of using it. I wonder, for example, how many Firefox users actually know how free Firefox really is—many of them realise that you can get it for free, but find it hard to believe that anybody can modify it and even redistribute it legally.

When the discovery is made, the first instinct is to ask: why do they do it? Programming is hard work. Even though most (if not all) programmers are driven by their higher-than-normal IQs and their amazing passion for solving problems, it’s still hard to understand why so many of them would donate so much of their time to creating something that they can’t really show off to anybody but their colleagues or geek friends.

Sure, anybody can buy laptops, and just program. No need to get a full-on lab or spend thousands of dollars in equipment. But... is that the full story?

Santa Claus - the most successful open source project

It dawned on me the other day, as I was shopping for the dozens of gifts it seems I have to buy every December, that Santa Claus is the most successful open source project in history. (Bridget @ Illiterarty would agree with that). Santa Claus is essentially a marketing development that is embodied by everyone who stuffs a sock, gives a gift, hosts a dinner or wishes Merry Christmas over the holiday season.

Editorial

When I first started thinking about Free Software Magazine, I was feeling enthusiastic about the dream. I had Dave, Gianluca, and Alan willing to help me, I had established members of the free software community willing to help me out, I had writers volunteering their time and energy for free, and I had a generous offer from OpenHosting for servers, all before I'd proved myself. There was a sense of excitement in the air, and I thought maybe, just maybe, I could make this work.
