Ridiculous. I run 1024x768 on all of my CRT monitors, and on the one LCD one I have (only because it's for a laptop). Anything higher or at a different aspect ratio is shit.
+5 Insightful for claiming that possession of child porn is no problem, that there's a huge difference between raping a child and distributing child pornography
That's probably because there is a huge difference between the two.
you're still participating in the exploitation and victimization of that child
There has to be a line drawn between OMG-FREEDOM-AT-ALL-COSTS and posting sexual pictures of children.
This isn't an "OMG-FREEDOM-AT-ALL-COSTS" issue, it's a "posting sexual pictures of children isn't immoral" issue. I don't really see anything wrong with it, and I'm sure many people agree with me.
A value system that values death and ignorance is a dead and street. It's self destructive. A value system that's rationally derived from observing the fact that you're alive and have the capacity to reason... that's not self destructive. One is inherently superior to the other, because adherents to the death-and-destruction framework cannot sustain themselves.
Whether they can sustain themselves or not is irrelevant.
It's pretty commonplace actually. You don't have to look in the Android market to find it. If you think it only happens there then you are some kind of mindless platform partisan.
What? No, I meant that he's wrong about assuming that I'd say that copying gameplay is unethical.
I'm a buttnude extremist! Welcome me with open arms, slashdot! Together, we shall return to gamemakerdom!
Why am I an asshole?
What do you have against me?
What do you have against faggots?
I hope someone flies a plane into it and kills thousands more. It would be hilarious.
Well you're nothin'!
I prefer 4:3, and what I say goes!
Ridiculous.

However, I agree that those making money from piracy or counterfeiting are in fact stealing. In that case, something is indeed lost.
And that would be? You can't correctly answer the question because nothing has been stolen.
But it's not about who matters to amazon, it's about who matters to me, since I am the number one winner.
How many people will cancel their net connections when facebook, google, and other ad supported sites shutdown.
Nobody who matters would drop the internet over the loss of such sites.
You must attend public school
I have lived in the US for my entire life, and I dropped out of elementary school.
Nice straw man.

Not really.
There is also an objective element.
And that would be?
To claim otherwise is to be willfully blind.
Nice argument! Now if anyone disagrees with you, they're just willfully blind!

I know, you're about to say "copying gameplay, while unethical, is completely legal".
Well, you're wrong. I don't find it unethical at all, so I wouldn't say anything like that.
In what way is copyright infringement immoral?
