  3. Re:AAC and WMV are not popular by jest3r · · Score: 1 · on Sony Admits MP3 Error

    How are you forced to use AAC (with the iPod)?

    The iPod plays MP3's no problem which you can download, purchase or create yourself.

    Nobody is forcing you to use AAC. Even the iTunes software gives you the option to "rip" in many formats ...

    Isn't a word. Stop using it.

    "...if you can actually make an "easy" backup of your game, it does not propagate rampant piracy as one would think. Look at Unreal Tournament. Think you are going to give your buddy a copy so you both can play online? Wrong. You have to connect to the internet to play and it checks your serial number."

    Actually, it does. You've only shown that you can defeat a very, very small slice of the gaming market. Further, from what I'm told the latest Final Fantasy is an MMORPG. I've sure seen that posted on the newsgroups a lot lately. Now I didn't see that with, say, Planetside. So my guess is that someone found a way past their scheme.

    If you run the server code yourself you can (*gasp!) disable the authenticity checking.

    So at best you've shown that an extremely small group is diverted and at worst you've shown that half of that extremely small group has been diverted.

    "Newer discs have inperfections purposely in them and the program scans for those inpefections and if it does not detect them, the game will not run."

    Sub-channel data, weak sectors. Yeah, a 2-sheep burner (which most are these days) can handle that no problem.

    Please, go get Alcohol 120%. Ironically enough, you can find it on the groups right now. Then go to alt.binaries.games or something, find a game you find interesting, download it and burn it. Then play off that CD.

    Please, have some ...small, infinitesimal clue about what you're talking about before you start blathering off like you've got one already. You look like a damned fool.

    "Also, if you're going to compare it to iTunes, mention the fact that you can't do a lot of things (like ripping to MP3) unless you pay for the Pro version."

    God bless the newsgroups.

  6. Can't find it on usenet by lemmen · · Score: 3, Informative · on Psst! Eight Bits Gets You "The Two Towers" In China

    For me Usenet is one of the most reliable sources for this kind of news. If it hasn't been posted on newsgroups, it is most certainly not available.

    There is a very good search engine available: http://alt.binaries.nl
    If you can't find it there, it's not posted/available.
