Problem with this strategy is that it only works for so long before the pirates start giving your games bad reviews or tell everyone that they've tried the game and it doesn't work properly. Suddenly you've now lost more sales and the pirate still downloaded and played the game regardless of if they kept playing it afterwards and your company now has a reputation for producing poorly programmed games.
Why the hell is the COO of Canonical making news articles, doesn't he have a job to do? That's a serious conflict of interest in my opinion.
Regardless he's completely wrong. He cites Mozilla doing smart business where Ubuntu isn't, catering to the advertising crowd. Well guess what's quickly being replaced by Chrome.
The guy simply doesn't have a clue. He cites Red Hat licensing being better then the company he works for. I really don't understand why Mark would put this guy in such a high position so he can then simply shit on the company.
Just because Cats and Dogs live on the streets doesn't mean they are all suffering. Capturing them and killing them is unethical and cruel when they could have been out happily living their lives as animals.
The GGP thinks that all strays are suicidal and would rather a human kill them. He thinks this isn't cruel because the animal wanted it. Is totally stupid reasoning for the reasons i've already given.
If the goal is actually REDUCTION OF ANIMAL SUFFERING, it isn't "cruel" (anyone unsure of the meaning, get a fucking dictionary) to the animals to painlessly kill them.
Logic failure.. So what if we rounded up all the homeless people; it wouldn't be cruel to painlessly kill them too? I'm sure lots of homeless people wouldn't mind you killing them because you believe they are suffering just as I'm sure the cats and dogs that are homeless wouldn't mind too.
Before you start a debate about animal != human that's exactly what PETA is campaigning for. Rights for animals, so they're pretty much hypocrites.
I can see from your post however that you believe people or animals should be killed regardless of if they want to. I wonder how you will feel later on when you yourself are getting old and your own death squad is coming for you.
It wasn't me that begged the question then was it. The parent made that assertion and I responded with "If feminists can not agree to that then too bad..."
I never asserted that feminists wanted that, I just replied if they do then...
tell you to read something before wading into a subject matter that you clearly have very little understanding of
hypocrite
would explain the nuance between men's rights and men's privileges.
I think it goes that most people don't think it's a privilege for men not to be blackmailed after consensual sex. I and most of the population don't care what other extremist viewpoint you subscribe to because they're not ground in reality.
I can see you've made the accident of not really reading my post and replied all offended with something that my post is not. I guess this is the part where you'll continue to reply until your ego is repaired. Why not do us both a favour, admit you misread my post and lets move on.
Despite you stating your beliefs, I still contend that your definition of rape is too narrow for most feminists and woman's rights advocates to agree with those beliefs.
If this women is telling the truth "the condom broke, i told him to stop and he didn't" then there should be some evidence.
First she would have evidence of purchasing an emergency morning after pill or having an STD test. It's reasonable to assume that any women would do this in her situation so if she doesn't have such proof it turns into a he said she said match and the fact is the story doesn't match up to real life.
Could you enlighten us who these innocent people are? If they've done nothing wrong then they've got nothing to fear.. or does that not work the other way around..
It's not that he's a super hero it's that the women's stories don't make sense and from what I've read of other's comments here one of the victims wrote and essay about using rape as a weapon.
The russian roulette gun hasn't been fired, you still have the choice to make. You didn't rob the bank yet, you didn't make the decision.
Here is what they SHOULD have been.
You fire the gun and change your mind, too bad you just killed yourself. Decision made. You rob the bank and get caught by the police and change your mind. Decision made.
Having sex with someone, then changing your mind AFTER you've have sex is stupid reasoning. You already made the decision. The only one to blame for it is yourself.
There are men's rights to consider too. Just like how everyone agrees it is wrong for women to forced into rape; most people also agree that men should not be blackmailed by women after having consensual sex.
If feminists can not agree to that then too bad because everyone's rights have to be considered not just their gender's. Anything else is unacceptable and I'd question why feminists believe that having such malicious action available is needed or reasonable other then to force their own dominance on the other gender.
1. I'm an american and think world == us. yeeha! 2. I don't like China because my government told me so. Lets steal their IP addresses that were allocated to them because my country is more important. 3. NAT because it works for me and my simple use cases so it must work for everyone else on the internet too. 4. I don't think future expansion is important with my simple house hold use cases so obviously trading a couple of IP addresses is going to be the future! duh! People who need a few million for a different country are just going to have to suck it. 5. I don't like the look of the new address so it should be shorter! If we run out of space then see 3. 6. I don't like IPv6 so I'm going to take a little bit of fact and stretch it way past truth to the point where someone reading about the topic for the first time thinks i'm an internets expert.
In conclusion - I don't know anything about what I am talking about. The facts I do know are outdated, are wrong and/or don't make sense in the context I place them in.
You could argue that Microsoft's or Apple's costs are higher. When you consider the cloud services, mail, updates, search engines and many servers they self host they probably have to maintain more equipment then an ISP.
So in a world where all connections are NAT'd you suggest connecting to a non-NAT'd IP address to fix the problem. Except you're forgetting that in this hypothetical situation that all connections are NAT'd so it wouldn't be possible to connect to a hole-punching service.
Most open source projects are only developed by one person. X.org for example has only 12 main contributors even through it's a 20+ year old project.
This is why open source games never go anywhere because a game needs far more then one person working on it, people quickly get bored due to lack of progress and the project dies. I've seen it over and over again on open source games.
Please hell no. If windows is an example of doing this right then I don't want it. The ABI for windows hasn't changed in 20 years and it's horrible riddled with bugs and simply a PoS. All one has to do is look at how lame their visual c++ compiler is because it has to compile down for their archaic abi to realise that's not the way to go.
Are you living in a cave or something? There are pretty good reasons for everything you are hand waving away. Even a quick skim of the latest slashdot articles on the subjects would clue you in.

I responded to this comment..
I didn't raise any question.

So in other words it's turned into a Republican vs. Democrat split that you americans love to do all the time...
It's not that he's a super hero it's that the women's stories don't make sense and from what I've read of other's comments here one of the victims wrote and essay about using rape as a weapon.
Sure kill the messenger rather then the criminal, I can't wait to see your hypocritical future posts on of how rife corruption is..
or there's no condom. or the condom never broke and she's making the whole thing up..
Your analogies are completely wrong.
The russian roulette gun hasn't been fired, you still have the choice to make. You didn't rob the bank yet, you didn't make the decision.

Good idea, I'm sure once the legal cases are finished on getting those IPs back it'll all be worth it. Typical court case is, what? 3+ years?

No YOU are the troll. Ever wonder why developers think STL vectors are slow? You can thank visual c++.
Yes, in the real world people live pay check to pay check. Let them eat cake.

Also I think this is a good guide that sums up the situation too.. http://cube.wikispaces.com/How+not+to+start+a+mod
Your Mac isn't iOS.
OGRE stands for object Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine. So yeah, it's an engine, it's simply not a game engine however.
