    Not quite what you are suggesting, but you might be interested in this.

    Pirates prevent global warming. Heretic.

  3. Re:A favorite term to replace 'piracy'? on Free Games As a Solution To Game Piracy · · Score: 1

    Iron Man? Bought Theatre tickets for it and will probably get it on DVD. Either way, I'm not pirating it. Don't assume things about me that you don't know.

    Standard User was trying to make the point that you either created things, and thus should respect others' 'right' to say what you do with their work because you wish to be treated in kind, or else you don't create anything and thus have no room to talk. I was merely showing that there was a third option.

    The discussion was about social contracts, not money, so your point about professionals needing the money was misplaced. For that to even be a valid argument you would need to prove that piracy actually caused more financial harm than good to the creator.

    And if I don't care what people do with my creations?

  5. Re:Thank goodness for WGA on The Microsoft Office Rental Program · · Score: 1

    I agree with that, I'm just pointing out that WGA doesn't make it harder to install a pirated version of MSO, any more than any other DRM scheme does.

    It's still not hard to pirate MSO.

    Thank you.

    I'm not the only sane person on the anti-ip side of the argument.

    No, the communist way of doing it would be for everyone to manage their own ISP. Leaving both the government and the corporations out of it.

    Actually there are legal complications to running two versions of Wife at the same time (US and others, check your local laws)There is a hack having to do with spoofing your UUID, but I don't have time to go into it.

    What I think you mean is that you can run Wife 2.0 and Girlfriend 6.0b, which is true, although you must take pains to prevent Wife 2.0 from detecting any version of GirlFriend.

    Adblock and NoScript aside (and with them shorter loading times) the spell checker is still a killer feature for me.

    the Bible doesn't say how many wise men there were (only that they brought three gifts), and they didn't arrive until almost two years later. Actually, the Bible lists three types of gifts, and it doesn't say that there weren't any others.
    Most of the assumptions about there being three wisemen are due to the carol We Three Kings.

    And on firefox, I don't even bother to do that.
