It's Godwin's Law, and it never said that the one to bring Nazis into the argument lost, just that as the size of an argument increases, it is more likely that someone will bring up the Nazis.
It simply is not fair for me, who was self-employed, to shoulder a burden of $38,000 a year in taxes on income and taxes for social security and medicare, when someone who is a professional eBay seller to make that kind of money tax free. It isn't fair; "Not fair"?
"Not fair"?
Life's not fair, son. Trying to force it to be fair through laws and taxes and government intrusion is never a winning proposition.
As far as I'm concerned, if it ships on the original disc, then it's legal to gain access to it without paying. It was like the "downloadable content" for PSP Mega Man: Powered Up. The downloadable content was actually on the disc, a few people hacked and made it available by distributing some savegames, and Capcom actually had the gall to bitch about it? If it's "downloadable content", then you have to actually make the user download it if you don't want them to gain access to it sooner.
Um, just to clarify, I wasn't talking about the player when I said "humans very rarely play at a consistent, specific speed". I was referring to the artists who recorded the covers (as well as in the case of the bands that made master tracks available). The note chart has to have slight BPM adjustments to compensate for these slight tempo changes.
It's a hell of a lot more complicated than you'd think. For example, the engine is quite loose - you can actually strum BEFORE hitting the correct fret, and if the time in-between is short enough, the game WILL count it as a hit. Also, regardless of where you hit a sustain note, if you hold the fret for the entire length of the hold, you always get the max possible score for the hold, whether you hit it early or not. Also, much of the complexity is in the note chart creation - humans very rarely play at a consistent, specific speed, and these variations must be taken into account in order to have a note chart that properly syncs.
If you seriously think that it's even possible that they could show that installing a different OS caused the physical keyboard to act up, then you're a nutbag.
Logic has no place in pro-drug arguments, because there is nothing logical about (ab)using these drugs in the first place. What? Did you read what you just wrote? You honestly believe that there is ANY issue where logic has no place in the argument?
Godwin's Law doesn't state that whoever bring up the Nazis loses automatically, just that the larger the discussion, the more likely someone will refer to the Nazis.
Um, it hasn't? That's funny, the First Amendment doesn't put any restrictions on the fact that "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech..."
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Says nothing about "unless the speaker is of minority age".
No shit, I knew that. What I was referring to was the idiocy of the term "Lenovo-compatible PC" seeing as Lenovo didn't have anything to do with IBM during the years in which "IBM-compatible" became commonplace. Lenovo didn't create the x86 architecture, they just bought the company that did. As far as I'm concerned, Lenovo doesn't deserve that kind of credit.
The chance of the kernel going GPLv3 is still 0% - it never included the "newer version" provision that some use with the GPLv2. It can't go GPLv3 unless you contact each and every single contributor with code that is currently in the kernel.
The upgrade disk is intended for people who own a previous version - period. Why should Microsoft be able to artificially restrict how you can reinstall a product you legally acquire?
I suppose when Microsoft tries to tie Windows licenses to biometric data that you'll support it.

You were supposed to go for "Funny". Better luck next time.
New discs. You won't be able to play those unless you update, or until more keys are exposed.
What would be fun is if somehow all keys were exposed. What would they do then? It'd be CSS all over again.

The XM1541 multitask cable.
Don't give them any ideas.
Funny, my XM1541 cable works from both Windows XP and Linux.
The GPL isn't a "consumer product license", it only applies to developers and those who redistribute binaries.
Ok, you're completely and utterly wrong on that, so do you mind just shutting the fuck up right about now?
Adobe isn't going anywhere. They own a vast chunk of the media/content creation market.
I don't think that would be legal either - no matter if you're pirating, he CAN NOT take away access to files unrelated to his application.
Ok, can we have a (-1, Stupid) moderation option? I'd much appreciate it, thanks.
Um, it hasn't? That's funny, the First Amendment doesn't put any restrictions on the fact that "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech..."
No, it can't. The First says:

No it hasn't. Key word "presence".
