Didn't this happen once before?
I seem to remember reading an article where it was discovered that MS had left a password "Netscape engineers are weenies" or something to that effect. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
I don't see how this is flamebait either...
He brought a valid point and merely questioned the significance of the story... don't mod down just because this guy doesn't share your particular opinion.
And of course there are the people who like to actually write their own programs for the playstation and burn them to cdrom to run. Without a mod chip they can't do this.
The reason we don't call them "pro-life" is that the majority of anti-abortionists are for the death penalty. This seems to be a bit difficult to reconcile with a "pro-life" stance.

In TNG episode "Time's Arrow" Guinan was on Earth in the 19th century.
Um, you just said the same thing the guy you are replying to said.
Minimum wage is $5.15/hr...
It's traveling at c relative to the object AND relative to the fixed point.
Yes, I know, it hurts my head too.
Crystal Meth :)
They actually managed to come with a title dumber than 'The Phantom Menace'
And of course, there's the problem of the name.
'Ogg Vorbis'? What the hell is that? A belch?
No one is going to use anything call that.
Urban Legend Sighting
I think you're thinking of OpenGL.
Come one, people, they wouldn't release a technology like this if it was so simple to overcome...
:)
You mean like in the case of CSS on DVD?
Adding one letter does not mean you're safe, any more than a clone of Windows named GWindows would be reasonable.
:P
You mean like Illustrator vs. KIllustrator?
I didn't know they were catholic.
Nah, it'll be someone named 'Bubba'
Pay careful attention to the part where he says his Pentium 120 is faster than a G4
You are either trolling or joking, he never at any time said his computer was faster than a G4.
He only said that it never crashed while the G4s did.

To activate it the software connects to a Microsoft server and verifies your key hasn't been used by 20 other pirates.
And what about those who don't have any kind of connection to the internet? Are they out of luck?

Not sure, but I've tried a few DVDs and DeCSS either couldn't decrypt them or the resulting files were corrupt. Although it did older DVDs just fine.
As if anyone even uses DeCSS. At all. It doesn't even work for newer DVDs. I use vobdec personally.
Though this sounds like one of those Reader's Digest articles like "Ten Ways to Make Herpes Work For You!"
wtf?
I think you mean 'electronic' music? At least that's how I saw it in someone's .sig
So companies should be free to steal from the public domain and sell it back to you? .
