Unless you buy the latest processor simply to burn a hole in your enormous wallet,
the true value of this will be the average person who has a bunch of extra hd's and would like a little more room on their tivo.
Also on the swapping angle: I wonder if you could store the "Kids in the Hall" marathon, or "Law and Order" marathon on a harddrive, remove it and put it on ice for a while, then the next time you have a long weekend and nothings on plug that bad-bwoy in and watch,watch, watch, go pee, watch, watch, watch some more, etc.
Through a simple name change (and the change was viewable by ALL, mind you) I became "SkipTheOp" and galavanted around the irc chat room as if I was indeed an Op (short for 'one with operator priveleges')
It was not until a few minutes later when I harassed the piss out them all the while exclaiming "I AM A BOT" that they realized they had been 'famfoozled.'
Ahhh, to be young and dumb!
P.S.- I am a bot.

Dewd, You and laserjet are my kind of nerds...
A swift move from a ricer joke to a dnd joke in no time flat. Good sirs, I swill my Mt. Dew at you!
You're right, people who collect hundreds and hudreds of warezed can't use the "gotta pirate because I can't afford what I need" argument. Same with crackers. But then, the crackers do it for the fun/challenge/prestige, and those who collect the software can provide the occasional pirates with the software they may need at the moment.
More often than I would have expected, the people who pirate becuase they need it are older adults- They can afford to throw down for microsoft office but they don't! Its like an extensive borrowing network that evolves ad hoc! And they don't see it as stealing becuase "I gave them the CD back after I fed it into my computer. Its okay" Sometimes the older generation isn't as clueless as I give 'em credit for.
It's hard to say what's worse, the hoarders, the crackers, or the users.
The lamerz. Definitely the lamerz.;) If you use (even occaisionally) then GOOD FOR YOU! If you hoard and provide the software to someone who uses it, you have indrectly helped out. And if you crack, you hooked up the first two guys to begin with...
however- I'm certain the motivations behind all three are selfish. But thats becuase life is a rational extension of hedonistic thought: I do it becuase It directly benefits me in some way. And I personally think that this convictied craxx0r guy was in it for the kicks.
And that was my point. I don't EVER expect a student (high school, college, or "school of hard knocks") to actually pay for software.
I'm not bent on having all things PC, but the moment I saw TPM all I could think was: "how could something this blatantly racist (both the jar-jar rasta's and the asian traders) get past anyone?!"
I think all the secrecy surrounding Star Wars products is their down fall. No one whose purse strings aren't attached to the man can say "Yo, this BITES!"
Read the article (I thought of submitting this too!) This isn't JUST to combat piracy, but they are collecting more detailed marketing information, such that in the future it will be easier for sales to hit their target without "wasting" money on promo's that don't work; be they airplay at the wrong time, or video exposure on VH1...
SO let me get thsi straight: I pay money, I sign up online, they get a WHOLE lot of personal data (I wonder if they ask for household income?), and I get a newsletter and maybe the chance to talk to the band and maybe a first crack at buying over-priced concert tickets at an arena where the pre-selected seats are all nose-bleeders?
First off, the law says "YES!" to all of the above!
But, No No no...
I mean, yes yes yes, BUT! Photoshop costs too much, but how much do you use it? A lot? Fine then, take it for free if you can.
However, do you need photoshop, quicken, word perfect, microsoft office, Mavis Beacon teaches typing, VB.NET, MOney 2003, Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone, Access 2000, filemaker pro, Oracle X.X, MacOS X, SQL anywhere, Family Tree maker and some of this is CRAP!--- It holds water, but NOT for very long. I mean, if you can hack (I mean craxx0r) these programs, chances are YOU DON'T NEED MAVIS BEACON TEACHES TYPING!!
Fine-= be a student and pirate what you use. But there's only so much software you can use. So why are you cracking all these programs, really? (remember, I'm not complaining that you are using pirated warez, I'm complaining that you are a serial craxx0r and YOU DON'T CARE about having family geneology software!
And I think to say that you had a political agenda is a cop out.
Which is why I beleive he did it becuase being bad feels pretty good!
Wether its becuase afterwards he says "I'm smarter than you!", or he has used cognitive therapy techniques to interpret fear as excitment, or if he was dropped on the head as a child, I don't care.
P.S.- the recipe is still available from opencola.com, but only until October 31st, 2002- download that pdf now! (so it can bit rot on your harddrive...)
"Now you can tell the difference between atari and intellivision with your eyes closed" (Re: the voice module which only 2 games worked with!)
I watched all those old atari and intellivision games- made me realize how much I hate real player. But then again, those videos were probably left "rotting" on a crappy vhs all these years, so I shouldn't complain. For a person who still remembers most of the MEGAMANIA song, I should sit down and shut up.
working my way backwards: the fabulous disaster that was atari has a long and proud tradition of doing the wrong thing. In some ways, kind of like apple under the command of scully and Jean louis-gasse (after Jobs was given a dishonorable discharge- I guess he showed them).
Hey, I don't care if you get the job done with a TRaSh-80 or a can opener, if it works, do it! And it was enough do to some non-linear video editing. pretty fucking impressive if you ask me!
Besides- that shitty computer is STILL RUNNING! It's got some 340 odd megs of ram, backside cache, and dual boots 8.6 (I never had a reason to go to 9) and PPClinux. That shitty machine runs and grades my datastructures students java homework! (however DIsks of Tron sound support SUCKS in MAME)
Besides- I think the MAC IIsi and the mac LC were FAR worse than the power mac 7200. Oh yeah, and there were some CRAPPY ass quadra-like things out there- this was when macs were sold in like SEARS or something. They had *1* slot for ram! WTF?!
But yeah, my 7200 still beats the shit out of my dads old pentium 166.

Indeed, I concur.

I don't care if he's jealous. His addendum RAWKS!
God, it's so good, I wish I'd thought of it!
note to self: read more of his books!

SIGN ME UP!
I dunno, man, I had a great time playing Ocarina and my wife had fun watching (and playing too... when I gave up the controller!)
Infact, that's what I like about modern games-
The old ones were a heck of a lot of fun. The good new ones just have better graphics.

As usual there is an open source answer to these corporate theives!
TiVo series 2 is approx $400.
I'd buy one for $100!!
Incriminating, but great!!
Forget the morality plays, forget the remorse, you did it cuz you liked it.
Now, waht did you like best?
I think the parent has hit the right question.
Everyone knows its illegal, and the "software costs too much" argument doesn't hold water for very long.
So was it philosophical? Was there an agenda? Or did he just do it for the intellectual kicks? (breaking the law, breaking the law!)
okay, you got me. It was 5: The three you mentioned and Space Spartans, and a baseball game.
googe is your friend.

In the meantime, why don't you sit in the corner and think about what you've done...
I didn't give up my career to raise a light-breaker! Not in this house!
This is like cats and dogs coexisting peacefully-
Its total anarchy!
Here it is ... we always knew friday the 13th was a freaky day...
An oscar means her never having to take her clothes off again.
Not unless she wants to, of course. Dare to dream.
For a student film I thought it went all the way around: great effecs, great story, great climax, great ending.
I guess that means you are probably less inclined to check out Angel Dust!
Yeah, I'd pay 8 bucks to see that!
make it so!
Super-tight movie. Very SF, but very social studies, as well.
If you liked Pi, you might like Cube (they even have it in blockbuster)
Also, ANGEL DUST.
Ohhh, soo good! It truly lives up to the phrase "phsychological thriller"
Hey, I don't care if you get the job done with a TRaSh-80 or a can opener, if it works, do it!
And it was enough do to some non-linear video editing. pretty fucking impressive if you ask me!

Step to that, COWARD.
