I can't really think of any apps that NEED to embed wither (expect MSIE).
Haven't seen Winamp, but i'd guess the interface looks screwed up - none of these programs seem to take into account that the user might have disabled stylesheets.
"As humanitarian authority, I will support the spirit of ecumenism by espousing the ecumenical ideals (grace, free will, magnanimity, and equanimity) at the expense of the corresponding vices (wrath, tyranny, persecution, and oppression). "
WTF? Is this a Joke. Total crap - the 3 rules are more than enough and good enough.
graduate student once argued with me using the following deliciously backwards logic: language must affect thought, because if it didn't, we would have no reason to fight sexist language (apparently, the fact that it is offensive is not reason enough)
What an idiot - he is to stupid to know that "offensive" is not an objective state? SOME people find it offensive, others do not. What is the difference? That's what he should look into.
Yeah, but those two tests are stupid. Of course people are going to perceive the same color (unless they are colorblind) or remember that the fox jumped over the dog. Where one would expect it to have an effect is on higher cognitive reasoning, abstract modes though.
Perhaps the internet is proof of that. People wish to express complex thoughts, but don't have the words and end up with: Y0U FUCKING MER0N!1! !
Half Life 2's engine is not nearly as advanced as iD's but this is due more to the need for wide open environments in HL2 and Counterstrike Source than any inferiority at Valve.
So Id's engine is better because it can render a dark hole in the ground?
Hurrah for Valve and their wide open spaces - just say no to black holes (and crates!)
...for you guys as well - seems the yanks are always being raped by companies who charge big dollar amounts for bandwidth (hence the thousands of sites which moan about bandwidth stealing)
Its a funny old world over there, you spend oil like its free, but bandwidth is apparently a scarce commodity.
"They own the copyright to the software and can do to it what they wish, true, but in this case they're doing something to MY computer without my consent."
They say you consented when you "agreed" to the EULA

Yeah, i'm sure a lot of us check things he installs :)

Hm... sounds like a stargate fan *g*
Well, if we are dreaming - i'm dreaming that George Lucas realises SW is bad and endorces Firefly instead :)
From the article:
"For men without a partner, help may be at hand..."
Yah...

Just goes to show, the Olympics are only about money, nothing else.

So you are confirming Best Buy is Worst Buy? :)
Duh, how about telling us what this Unofficial Patch you speak of is?
No matter how you spin it (It's not theft
Its not spin, just fact.
you have two options
Actually you have a third: GET THE HELL INVOLVED IN POLITICS and work for a change!
...if people do that, they blame it on piracy.

They guy who decided to call it "Source" - jackass.

"There are more important things to worry about. Education, health care, campaign finance reform...those are things I choose to focus on. "
Well, if you had a better eudcation you probably wouldn't write nonsense like that.
Well, if it makes you happy to think that. Just don't test it in court.

It doesn't have to. Its part of "the software" - usually they have license several different components in the software, this is just another.
I doubt it would hold up in court.
They missed nothing.
Read the StarForce webpage
No. We are talking about the article not starfoce homepage. And the missed tons of things.

Why you would think sale laws doesn't apply to computer games is beyoned me.
Oh it does, you own the box and the disk - he was talking about the software ON the disk.
Face it, the idiot populace let the creeps get away with it.
* copying is theft
* because of copying nobody makes good games
* they are loosing money (you can't loose something you haven't had)
Abbie Sommer: "we have protected many titles this year alone that are still not cracked. "
Probably because they are crap *g*
