  1. Re:Indeed... on Half Life 2 Available, Delays Not Valve's Fault · · Score: 1

    The first people to play the game will be those who buy it, people waiting on the "free" version will likely be waiting at least a day for it to be cracked.

    Not the "free" version - the liberated version without their imoral crap.

  2. Re:Missing Option on Half Life 2 Available, Delays Not Valve's Fault · · Score: 1

    The big deal is that its amoral of them to have this sort of master/slave approach. Copyright is bad enough as it is, this makes it even worse. We bought it, we would be able to use it without the overlords interfering.

    Its not as if it won't be cracked by wednesday anyway.

  3. Since when? on Half Life 2 Available, Delays Not Valve's Fault · · Score: 1

    The game has to be activated via STEAM before you can play it. Even for single player.

    They always said that wasn't required for offine play...

    You do realize that this is the very attitude that caused the Democrats to lose in the first place?

    Strawman would be

    No. Strawman is when you invent something the other person didn't say and attack that.

    He pretends i have said stealing is ok and attacks that. Which i didn't. His mission was to make a dig at windows and promot linux.

    And you likewise is full of bullshit inventing a lot of things i never said. You must work for carl rove.

    Does strawman argumentation ring a bell?

    The problem is people seem to be blaming Microsoft as though they willfuly ripped off Sonic Foundry

    Naa they don't - we are just laughing our heads off *g*

    Yes, pirating Windows is wrong and illegal,

    Well its certainly illegal - wrong is debatable.

    That's because "hypocricy" doesn't have legal standing

    It doesn't have a spelling standing either ;)

  12. Re:Perhaps not a flip-flop at all? on President Bush Flip-flopping on Gay Rights Issue? · · Score: 1

    This is kinda like that
    ...every time Kerry had a nuanced view and Bush called it a FlipFlop.

    "Bush banned stem-cell research" myth,

    Ah, stem cell research which can help and save millions of people.

    ... when in fact he just stopped anti-abortionists from being forced to fund abortions (via taxpayer money).


    As opposed to the anti war people who are forced to pay taxes to a war that has killed at least 100000 people.

    Yeah, what prince.

  13. Re:Unfortunately... on President Bush Flip-flopping on Gay Rights Issue? · · Score: 1

    Effectivly the state (government) discriminates between long-term commmitted homosexual couples and long-term commmitted heterosexual couples based only on thier relative gender; last I checked sexual discrimination goes against fundamental issues of human rights.

    Last time i checked the US doesn't really care about human rights. (People who pay attention to the news don't really need examples, but Guantanamo is one example)

    No the problem is that there will always be amoral slavedrivers who try to cut any corner they can. But what do you expect from an ultra capitalist country ;)

  17. Re:it makes sence on Soldiers Call for Engineering Tech Support · · Score: 1

    But having Europe attacking the US, there is no way, even if the US was unable to defend itself. Despite all the shoutings and problems, no western European even would get the idea, to attack the "brothers" in the US, although the younger brother currently has a big problem :-)

    Don't bet on it - if they don't get a president mindfull of his neighbours then sentiment may slide enough...
