HOW-TO: Dreamweaver running on Ubuntu in 10 EASY Steps!

http://blog.publicidadpixelada.com/how-to-dreamweaver-8-in-ubuntu-in-10-easy-steps/

Aptana is a robust, JavaScript-focused IDE for building dynamic web
applications.

There's also NVU:

Nice, youve posted a link to instructions on how to get windows application to
run under wine. That's so helpful.

Also, in the instructions it is suggested that the user pirate Dreamweaver.

Yeah, youre helping.

I mentioned two programs that run natively in Linux as well.
One of them is new, which is the reason it has significance.
There are already tools for Web page creation, courtesy of
Google and others. It all translated to O/$-independence.

Best wishes,

And *you're* helping to reaffirm that the WinTrolls in this NG are all
dead from the neck up.

Nowhere in that article does it suggest that anyone should *steal* the
software; the words used are "dreamweaver.exe MUST be cracked or
patched", that is *not* the same as using a pirate copy.

I remember often using "cracks" on legitimate software; e.g. to enable
playing games without repeatedly swapping in and out the install disks
(a process that has now been refined using the so-called "mini-ISO"
method).

Presumably Dreamweaver uses some DRM software that cannot be emulated
under Linux, and so running DW under Wine will fail the DRM check,
unless that DRM is bypassed. Bypassing some draconian DRM measure is
*not* the same as "piracy".

Hmm, that falls into a rather grey area. I've not recently read the
Dreamweaver EULA, is there anything in it that prevents you running your
copy under wine?

True, they do say that you will need to patch your copy to remove the
windows centric protection, but that doesn't necessarily make your copy
illegal.

Did you actually follow the link and read the text? Here, let me do it for
you:

"/*IMPORTANT: The dreamweaver.exe MUST be cracked or patched, otherwise it
will not load under linux, try searching in Google for a crack*/"

See?

Ummm...

You do realize that I've been running unix and unix clones on every last
one of my desktop machines since a/ux in about 1999, right? How exactly
am I a wintroll?

You're a pirate apologist, and you're clearly advocating the pirating
of windows software, I suspect, because you have no regard or respect
for the people who write it.

Wrong. You can either apply a legitimate license key--or you can apply
a cracked license key. Have you ever actually used dreamweaver?

A crack or patch is not the same as piracy.

Wrong, again. A crack is a method of circumventing copy protection

9 out of 10 plonks are lies, so I'm pretty sure you're seeing

Though, 10 out of 10 publically announced plonks are n3wb-lame,

I suspect that you're an idiot. Explain exactly how I am advocating
piracy by drawing a distinction between hacking and theft.

Have *you* ever actually used Dreamweaver under Wine, without using
the cracked binary? I'm sure the author would welcome your /extensive/
experience.

you are (deliberately?) missing the point. Piracy, is not merely the
cracking of a program that is piracy, you must make an illegal copy,
and distribute (or receive) it. Cracking your own binary, is not piracy.
Cracking the binary may be neccessary for example, to run some
applications on a system without a CDRom drive, or on an architecture
that the binary wasn't originally compiled for.

Youre splitting hairs, and you know full well what the author of
the quoted text meant. He meant "get it any way you can".

Its precisely your sort of attitude that makes linux advocates at

You're attempting to rationalize piracy--you're not talking about
hacking here. Installing a cracked serial number is not hacking.

Sorry charlie, yaint as smert as ya think yar, are ya.

You're rationalizing piracy instead of just having the nuts to come

No nuts. That's you.

At what point did either I or the author write about a "cracked serial
number"? The phrase used was:

"/*IMPORTANT: The dreamweaver.exe MUST be cracked or patched, otherwise
it will not load under linux, try searching in Google for a crack*/

There's nothing on that page about serial numbers at all; you're
inventing something which doesn't exist.

"Cracked or patched" software does not mean pirated or stolen, it means
modified, usually without the benefit of the source. The purpose of
cracking the software *might* also be theft, but in this case the
author has made it clear that it is in order to allow the software to
*function* under Wine, not to *steal* it.

I'm obviously smarter than you, since you don't even understand basic
semantics.

Explain to me how someone who only uses GPL FOSS can be a pirate?

Looks like it's *you* who's "making shit up". Quote the passage in that
article where the author states that "YOU DONT HAVE TO USE THE CRACKED
BINARY". "IMPORTANT: The dreamweaver.exe MUST be cracked or patched"
looks crystal clear to me.

Well it would, if it didn't work, wouldn't it?

At first I thought you were just a Flatfish nym, but frankly I wouldn't

That's a strange conclusion. When I have no regard or respect for the
people who write a program, I don't want their crap on my machine at
all. If he is advocating piracy, that's a sign that he does have
regard and respect for the others, although not for their property
rights.

Hogwash. Copy protection is not the only access control that a crack
might circumvent. You might have a crack for code that circumvents
checking for CPU ids. You might have a crack that circumvents test for
a (boo! hiss!) dongle.

For that matter, there are other reasons for cracks besides piracy.

Actually a lot of us have been around on usenet since gopher was cool,

Evidently mister kent still (after all these years) knows jack goddamn
shit about linux.

And still (after all these years) is pretending he does.

Really mister kent, it would have been much easier to spend all this

Bah. Gopher was invented in 1991. Some of us were usenet old-timers by

Divide? There was never a union to begin with.

If you're referring to our recent civil discussions about geography

your opinions on pretty much everything are absolute horseshit and
that you're a dick.

It's not about being free or linux-related. The article says you need a
crack, not a pirated copy. So either yttrx is blind, or he believes
cracking = pirating.

When you buy something, you become the owner of it. Even if you can't
share it with others due to the nature of this product, at least you
should be allowed to know how it works, or to modify it (including
crack, for whatever purpose). I never read about dreamweaver's license,
but I do know some softwares such as windows forbid this - it is WRONG,
as wrong as a contract to exchange a life or freedom with something.

and those who believe it is acceptable, should go to hell.

I know full well that crack != (that means does not equal) piracy. However,
I also know full well what the author of the original article meant, and
so do you. You're making excuses, you're advocating piracy, and your little
tizzy about Dreamweaver proved it. You're an immature little pinhead and
you want everything for free, because you feel like you have a RIGHT to
it. So why should I not believe for a split second that you're not
advocating piracy by attempting to rationalize the use of the term "crack"
here?

They don't really have flames on Usenet. They think they do, but
that's only because they've never seen the real thing. Back in the old

some real flames.

You can buy it and crack it to make it run on linux, because it
wouldn't run otherwise, thanks to dreamweaver's license server (which
you obviously don't know, even if you may pretend to later).

No you don't understand. In your world, people would steal whenever
they can, and that probably includes yourself.


Next time you will come up with discussions like talking != lying and
"However, ...", and eventually, smart apes like you will take away all
of the freedom from us, for our own fucking sake.

People like you should be locked up in prison forever. Throw
away the key.

You seem to think that stealing = freedom and that you're allowed
to do whatever you want. You shouldnt be allowed to vote or hold
public office, or have any kind of government job--except maybe the
military. But then only the infantry, and you won't get to handle
a gun or any other expensive piece of equipment--since you obviously
cannot be trusted.

How do you conclude that? By my saying that cracking on legally-bought
dreamweaver should be allowed?

You didn't even read the article and never understand what the author
meant.

These are crap compared to DreamWeaver which only legally runs under
Windows as designed.

Nice job promoting pirated software for Linux.

Why don't you use the 'excellent' open source software you are always

No. Of course not. Even if there are any, they'd have been ported to
windows, so it's very clear that you cannot get any better desktop
applications on linux.

Aptana is a beta. AFAIK it has limited wysiwyg page design. "Robust"
sounds somewhat optimistic.

NVU : is plain buggy. Crap handling of CSS. I use it for a small web
site and its ok, but tends to get confused on remote links.

At no time has cracking a piece of copy protection ever equalled theft.

Sure it can enable it quite a bit. It can also enable fair use of the
product that you paid good money for and had to be put on a waiting list to
get. The fact that some people don't like being shit on and will gladly work
around certain inconveniences does not indicate theft.

It didn't when Gilman Louie spewed this bullshit and it still doesn't.
