Welcome to the boards. And wtf are EFF and DBA?

[Flynn]

Data Base Admin :D

and the EFF (eff.org (http://www.eff.org)) is, in there own words ;)

EFF is a nonprofit group of passionate people — lawyers, technologists, volunteers, and visionaries — working to protect your digital rights.

I strongly suggest anyone who hasn't seen the EFF, to go visit the site and read over some things. :cool:

In other words it's against say, the software on music CDs that gives you a bluescreen of death if you put it in your CD drive *watches to much Foamy*

Basically yes, they are one of the largest groups advocating another solution to the DRM/Spy-ware/Root-kit problem. They also represented a lot of the people who were sued by the RIAA/MPAA, and still do.
And more relevantly, they are a leading group in educating law makers, lobbying politicians, and filing friend of the court briefs regarding video game laws and cases... and they work in our favor.

Well I'm not using limewire to download keyloggers so my machine can be used as a spam email server but EFF is still freaking sweet.

Welcome to the forum, man!

You have been greeted by the boxcats, feel special.
Although the picture always looks the same, it is taken anew everytime.
Different cats too.

[Ack]

Hmm...I remember where I heard about them. We had to read one of Lawrence Lessig's books, Free Culture, for a class I've got.

Thank God you guys exist.
