I'm not entirely sure their goal was to equate theft to copyright infringement in this matter, but instead to say that committing a crime and being let off the hook because you're sick is bullshit.
While in legal terms it is BS, in moral terms, as NYCL pointed out, it isn't.
Suing someone who you have no concrete evidence that they committed a crime and cannot make it to the court, is a rather underhanded way of making money.
I don't think it's fair that a Ferrari costs several hundred grand. I don't think it's fair that the cops'll track me down and arrest me if I steal one from a forecourt
Could you please explain to me what theft has got to do with copyright infringement?
Does this annoy anyone else as much as me? Saying I know Assembler is like saying I know Compiler when you mean that you know C++ An Assembler is a program than converts Assembly into machine code. It is not a language.
No, as they scientists have hypothesized, Duke Nukem Forever will only be released at the end of the universe. Give or take a couple of weeks.
So, then the bright minds (sanity not required) of this world got together and decided the best way to get it released was to move the end of the universe closer to the present. Hence, they build a giant dooms day device, while kidding everyone they were searching for a partical.
See, this is why we shouldn't allow rouge nations with little political stability and an insane president to have access to nuclear weapons. I hope the UN considers sanctions.
Oh, wait. Sorry, were we talking about the US. Oh, that is fine then. Ignore what I said before.
This list seems very... oriented towards new games. I am not an old school gamer, I started gaming about 98, and seriously in 02, but these mods seem very orientated towards new games. I was also expect mods that were amazing, that became a game, Team Fortress for example... Infact, Yeah, where the hell is Team Fortress?
Next time this list is compiled, I want it compiled by someone who has forgotten more than I know about gaming, has been and done it all.
Using an and would mean that it would be more likely run over the end of my rss feed display, which would be annoying, therefore I am all for the lack of ands.
Indians don't go around chanting "Death to America" for starters, nor do they have a crazy self-indulging senseless control freak for the head of their government. India has a tendency to honour international agreements, while the DPRK tends to flout them over and over again.
Yeah, and the US, UK would never dream of breaking international law, or invading other countries, which is why they are in the best moral position to dictate terms to other countries on what they can and can't do.
I started by writing scripts for game engines, mods and such. Why? Because it was easy, the community would go "wow, cool" when you did something (ego++;). That taught me the basic concepts, and that it could be fun, then look where I am now, 4 years later, sitting in a room, writing programs all day.
No, second thoughts, don't teach him to program, drinking and sailing is much more fun.
This is Diablo 3, you are never going to manage to only play 40 hours a week.
I suggest you give up your job now, saves the problem of deciding if you can stop playing D3 long enough to hand in your notice.

At least it's less lightly to be left on the train, if it's not in government hands.
To be replaced by the private company selling it to the highest bidder?

And seriously, if you use a decent text editor, in a few weeks you'll forget Python's indentation conventions ever bothered you.
What indentation conventions?

Sorry, a big wall of text there, so I am just going to have to go with what everyone else is saying.
Well, you know the rest

Here in Oz we routinely get ads for rug stores with 90% off.
Where they charge you full price and give you 10% of the rug?

With all this censorship going on, and the government monitoring everything, we may have to go back to sending letters. Oh the horror
