With a nick like BuC-ShoTz, you have no place to insult anyone, not with that nick creating level of retardation

deank's code is nothing special, i have 60,000 lines of rants about his code if you want to hear them.

Also when are you slow brained dumb bastards going to realise, that multiMAN IS NOT all deank's work, he added some code to someone else Open Source Backup manager, so your boyfriend deank is the leech, have a nice day <3

Well if we are going to talk about work, being a blackops f*ggot is nothing special either, yay lets code crap for COD or BOPs and feel special.......

Oh and its not a "webpage", its a few "web pages"

My name is a combination of two real names Gregory and Rasputin, which if you use Google, you will see this and they are both spelled correctly.

Your name is a combination of a miss spelled word "Buck" and another miss spelled word "Shots", which if you Goggle, will show you that you are a retard, for not being able to spell properly.....

Crawl back to NGU, your under powered brain types are better off there.

Yeah normally, but a lot of people say stuff like that but don't do anything with it..

I guess they aren't used to real applications then..... 60K is peanuts.... hehe..

It really says a lot about a site when a moderator behaves this way, especially when people fat on free stuff take up the same thinking, if only because they love the hand that feeds them. I have to say that such people are the worst kind of follower because, while they're all supportive and even fanatical, they're so quick to turn and bite the same hand when things don't their way.

I'm writing this to challenge the misconceptions about open source projects. Obviously, there aren't a lot of developers in this forum, else more would understand the nature of open source. If I am wrong about the # of devs, then I am disappointed about the lack of vocalization since most of what I'm about to say is true.

Open source does not mean it is meant to be free, nor is it wrong when someone takes an open source project, makes enough changes to make it unique and releases it as closed source. Neither is it wrong when the same person makes money out of his work, even if he started out giving it for free. All open source licenses makes allowances for that, it is not wrong in any way. Just look at Canonical's Ubuntu.

It's as if people here think developers don't have a right to earn a living. Other devs who come to read forum posts here would definitely feel some amount of sympathy for deank 100%. Every dev also knows that there is no such thing as 100% original code. Just by using an SDK (or any language for that matter), one is already reusing work done by others. Even if deank never wrote a single original line of code, which I doubt, putting things together is not as easy as detractors here may think. Try it out and you'll see. There will always be a time when you will need to confer for help or use the work of others to make things faster.

Another thing is, there isn't a dev out there who would not want to simplify his revenue stream; to earn more by doing less. Sure, prolific devs may release projects that are forever free, but it is because they already have financial security, either by having a good job or having someone pay all their living expenses (for all the talented devs below 20). Whenever I see a project like MM collaborating with a commercial product like Cobra, I see someone who knows a lucrative opportunity, one that also allows him to do what he loves to do while making cash out of it. What's so evil about that? When someone calls such a thing as evil, I call that in turn hypocritical. Who wouldn't want to do what they love and get paid for it?

I'm kind of disappointed at deank for opening his code. The disappointment does not come because he opened his code, that is always admirable, but because it seems he bent to all the negativity thrown his way, when he shouldn't have because it is cheapening his work for the wrong reasons. This opinion of mine is why I always caution aspiring devs to think twice about going down the road of open source, when their intent is to earn a living out of their work. Even if they mean to keep their work free, I still caution them because it is evident by the treatment of deank: you're only good when you spoil the people who follow your work. Doubt it? Even if deank never did a deal with Cobra, somewhere down the road, on another project outside multiman, if he starts it out charging for something a lot of people want (i.e "PLEAZE, I REALLY NEEDS THIS!!!"), most people will forget the good he gave and **** on his legacy.

Like what we see here in HAX.

Good day.

Edit: I'm a developer versed in several top tier languages such as Java, C#, C and Python, used on projects both opened and closed, both free and for commercial use. So I know what I'm talking about.

Are you deank by any chance?

And for the last time, the "scene" (PlayStation 3 hacking/homebrew community) is NOT about money, as @KDSBest explained it, if you're a developer and want money, find a job in real ****ing life or start a new project in another context (look at Minecraft for example).

Not to mention that if you don't want to be a complete moron, you should not help and support ReDRM ****.

End of story.
