You can play dumb and naive all you want, but give me a break. How were they pirating? Are you serious? They were pirating by making a website that gave away all the DRM hashes, and then helping to build an emulated server that let others play without paying. You can go with the 'proxy for offline play' if you like, but don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.
Mod this one flamebait too, warez kiddies, the truth must hurt.
And both involve stealing from someone else, so stop crying about it. There is a difference between being a victim of theft, and being a giant hypocrite!
That stuff your uncle used to deal with wasn't a weaponized aerosol either. I'm sure the people that died from the anthrax attack would take issue with your statement about it being blown out of proportion.
So a strain of Anthrax, developed by the US Military, get's mailed to a Democratic senator, and a high profile journalist, about a month after 9/11. After years of "investigating" they blame a dead guy who can't defend himself.
This is a case that will never be solved because whoever it was in the government that did it, has covered their tracks.
On please. Go back and re-read 1984, and tell me how a comedy channel is the same thing as a fascist dictatorship... If this was government censorship, you might have a point.
It's getting popular, better tear it down, and kill it!
It's funny how when a FOSS project gets to a certain level of popularity (Firefox, Ubuntu) there seem to be a vocal group of people that try to tear them down. Oh my god, a version of Linux that is nearly user friendly, it's not hardcore enough for me!
I learned that the Apache Foundation can be hacked, have passwords stolen, and root access to their main servers taken over, and it's not the fault of the OS.
Then I learned that if McAfee Virus scan messes up people's computers, it's not the fault of McAfee, but it's the fault of Microsoft, and their OS!
The only person here who seems up in arms about anything is you. All I said was I don't need Apple to be my morality police. I'm sorry I insulted your favorite multinational corporation.
All I know is that if this attack had occurred on a machine running an MS OS, it would not be given the benefit of the doubt around here. The next time a breach of this magnitude happens on a machine with Windows installed, try to use the same excuse and see where it gets you. If you said "the OS was not compromised, but an application running on top of it" you'd be tarred and feathered.
Never. If an attack like this happened on a machine running an MS OS you'd be laughed off this site for saying "the OS was not compromised, but an application running on top of it".
Where did I claim Ubuntu was having you reboot every day? I didn't. I said it has me reboot more than Win7 does, and that's a fact.

Yeah technically you don't need to reboot, you just have to shut everything down, exit to command line, and restart everything...

"Pretty much" is the key thing here. It pretty much only restarts for kernel updates, unless you've updated the video card drivers, the window manager, the x server, or any other complex part of the system. I run Ubuntu and Win7, and keep both up to date. Ubuntu has me restart far more than the Win7 machine.

My advice to you: Be like Hitler, and kill yourself!

I love listening to people from the scene whine and cry about people stealing from them! LOL
It's like the movie scene. Every once in awhile you'll see a flame inside of an nfo file bitching about someone stealing their source... LOL
Hypocrisy can be amusing sometimes.
I know what you mean. It's almost like all of the douche experts have moved on to greener pastures. :(
No one is, and that's because you're no Salmon Rushdie...
Who in the hell said it was an epidemic? It was a targeted attack, and people died at the places it was sent.
Who said you should spend your time worrying about it?

To me this smells like one giant PR stunt.

Once upon a time the promise of cable TV was that there would be no commercials.
Too bad TV viewers are mostly lazy, because when they started airing commercials on paid TV, no one seemed to get outraged about it.

Seeing one closed off, 'play by our rules or gtfo' company, whining about another closed off 'play by our rules or gtfo' company is golden.

The comments here can be so enlightening!

I don't need Apple to act as a morality police for what I do with something I own.
Something tells me Apple wouldn't post his name and picture on the internet.

The double standard is laughable.
I'll have to remember that one.
I really hope Google does this.
