Given that it's perfectly legit to pull a machine out a dumpster I've always thought that in certain circumstances, telling how to remove a bios password would be fine.
Of course, it's completely not legit to steal a computer, but this may lead to the same question.
I've always looked at how the question is asked. I don't see what it's a problem to help people legitimately...
with regards torrent links.
clearly legal torrents are fine (why would it be any worse to link to a linux torrent than a free game site), if they weren't then the admin would surely have just used the word filter to break all URLs that point to torrent files or popular torrent sites.
