Actually, you can still run them with Wine. The last time they tested it, I think only 1 out 10 ten viruses worked...talking about crappy compatibility.;)
You're missing the possibility that "Happy_puppy_screensaver.sh" will most likely not work on every distribution and system out there, just because it is a shell script, doesn't mean that it's working everywhere.
I wanted to go all philosophical on you with "Technically, we'll always live in the present...", but I'm afraid that I'd get my a** handed to me if I start with this.:(
Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age were developed by Bioware, which is known to make awesome RPGs and the likes of it (Neverwinter Nights, Jade Empire, Knights of the Old Republic and so on...). Dead Space was really developed by EA, that's true.
Personally, if somebody mentions EA, I have to think of "Battle for Middle-Earth" and what a good game it *could* have been, and the dragonic DRM of Spore (okay, Ubisoft is winning this one)...and why the hell is Left 4 Dead selling as EA Classic?!
Agreed. This is similar to the german term "Raubkopie" which literally means "robbed copy". So, I always imagine that someone is holding a gun to someones head "You copy this CD/DVD!" and after that also takes the original with him.
We'll never know. If they really throw 150k IPs per day at the ISPs, no one will know if they really did something or not. No way to check that amount.
So it's basically boiling down to: "You give us everything we want, or we'll sue your ass of". And that "what we want" can be the IPs of heavy-uploaders from Madonnas new single, or guys listening to music at Jamendo.com.
Actually, most of the european governments would like to see more and stricter privacy laws (I'm not talking UK here, they're an island). The problem is in this case that the EU-Central-Government seems pretty hard influenced by lobbies of all kind. Additionally there are negotiations behind closed doors with the industry about this.
I'm not saying that the EU is something bad, hell no, I think it's the first step into the right direction. But we really should drag industry-lobbies out of the parliament and shot them in the streets.

Bwahaha...I wanted to say the same. :)

It still is, you're right. But you can sell it to the customer as a new security feature.
This were exactly my thoughts. They've created a monster they can't control anymore...very similar to what MS did with ActiveX.
I think you should use Mauve, it has the most RAM.
I still love Midnights idea for this.

I'd +1 you if I could.
Yeah, it's not like they gave us any reason to mistrust them because of cheating on other tests.
Reminds of one executive at a big Game Studio (EA? Can't remember...) "I take the fun out of writing games, because then people get more productive".

...and more to do with badly designed and implemented software.
So we are back to Linux vs. Windows, huh? ;)

You might wanna re-re-read the summary.
You're right, I really want to re-re-read the summary. My brain somehow parsed that as kilometers. My sincerely apologies.
You might wanna re-read the summary...it would be using a cable.

Last time I checked, "Fuck you" wasn't generally considered a winning legal argument.
+1 if I could!
That was my point, yes. You're free to install something else and use any other OS...you're not free to "do whatever you want" with MS Windows.
Uh, yeah...right...because you can use Windows without...uhh...being an "End User" and agreeing to the EULA...yeah...did I miss the irony?
...and I'm free to use my system however I wish.
So, you're not using MS Windows or you never read the EULA?

...and Hitler was born in Austria...
Oh come on, do you have to spoil it? The Germans have him, the Germans can keep him...but we want Mozart back!
Just in case somebody doesn't realize it, I was joking.
Exactly my thoughts, that would mean that no one can sue Torrent-Sites in Spain.
