    On the flip side, imagine the strokes she'd get if she'd simply claimed 'all our children are above average'.

    I think this is my favorite slashdot comment ever, I don't care if it's trolling and incorrect, I nearly burst out laughing in public. I wish I could mod you up

    If you were pulling a wagon to Oregon in the middle ages, I'd want to know how the hell you got to america, or alternatively, why didn't your other native american brethren have wheeled wagons?

    The historical implications you just made are vast and profound.

    I know when I'm in the zone when I get up from my keyboard, walk around the house and then 5 minutes later I actually realize I'm not even typing anymore.

    I'm so wrapped up in thoughts that I'm not even aware of where I am haha. I think it's a sort of religious experience.

    I can only do this when I'm alone at home or school though, because I gesture and talk to myself outloud like I'm mentally handicapped...

    True, but this should only act as a natural free market force. If the product is bad people wont buy it. That's the kind of lost sale music companies can't complain about =)

    My ancestors were the slaves of white men too, you don't see me complaining. I'm referring to my English, German, and French heritage, in case you were wondering. I'm sure some one somewhere was forced to work for a roman soldier at some point. Or if I'm lucky maybe they worked for a well off family in Gaul in the first century.

    I should probably admit that I voted for a Republican in this election... Because I'm not actually a hardcore libertarian. Of course the extreme of libertarianism wont work. Only wackos think that. I do believe that the ideals can add a lot though.

    I should also admit that that Republican was Ron Paul

    you're pretty on the spot. I'm not a creative person. At all. I'm more of a free thinker. Open minded, don't like to limit myself to being creative, you know.

    And you're also right that I'd be singing a different tune. That's why I hope I never find myself in the position of selling something that needs to be protected like that. Count me out of business in general.

    To be fair some people do actually back of their games. Not me of course (since I pirate them all and therefor have no need of backup) but some people do. Joking aside I think that if a copyright can't be protected (in the case of... for instance... all media every created), then it's just a waste of time and energy to protect it. If people can simply sit out there in the ether and crack exe's for games, then maybe protecting the games in the first place should seem silly?
