I don't care about Transgaming's implementation of pay-me-or-fuck-off... Their model will survive much more readily than the bleed-money-and-go-bankrupt like all of those fucktards at VA and RHAT....
You can always take wine and implement those features... Just because _I_ do something, doesn't mean you can't...
You're not entitled to my work any more than I am entitled to the wine project's work... However they decided that I should be able to use their work, without trying to further limit my freedom in deciding how I use it... Damn those evil fascists!
Why would they expect your support? You clearly don't think they have any right to determine the nature of their software licensing, very much when and how they choose to finally release their work back into the wine tree...
It's not like you can't get off of your ass and write DirectX for Wine, instead of sitting here whoring kharma like a retard, under the pretense of being concerned about wine's license...
Limited number of variables? You've been playing too much Flight Simulator...
Flight simulators do not "accurately simulate" air missions, they simply provide experience in managing the plane... That's it...
You'll never "accurately" simulate anything unless you actively seek to do so... "Don't do that, you can't suffer from hunger in the simulator!" leads to no future when you can, because there research isn't there.
You also rob people of the experience they can gain from them, and don't reduce the safety concerns for your expensively trained men...
Whoever modded you up is an idiot with absolutely no military experience... I hope they feel highly enlightened when they've never even approached a combat sim, or even know what occurs during 'real' training...
Stop getting your authority from something you watch on Discovery channel, people...
Yes, it seems that many people that want to watch SciFi, really want to watch action stories with electronics in them... Drives me insane...
I want, and I get from B5, Farscape, Stargate, and a lot of TNG episodes, is a story worth immersing myself in...
I want it to be like a book, only better in that all of the emotion and depth can be conveyed to me by people with a vision...
If I can't care about the welfare, development, decisions, etc of characters, why the fuck is it interesting? I've seen kicking, I've seen explosions, I've seen bad pop-culture influenced dialog... What I want is original, human, entertainment...
In The Beginning was quite good...
That's pretty much it, really...
Also the original spinoff with a piece of shit...
B5 itself was simply amazing, though... I wonder why the writer/producer is creating such other garbage these days...
E:FC turned to crap after they killed off Boone... It totally lost all of its texture...
But I grew to accept the show afterward, since it promised to explore why precisely the aliens wanted to enslave humanity in depth, and how the new hero would save the day without killing off the aliens...
I mean really, two seasons where they have dozens of chances to kill off the aliens, and they don't... Why? Because it was his cosmic destiny to save humanity and the aliens... So what happens? He quits/gets fired/whatever and they slop together some mindless storyline that breaks the continuity of the previous portion of the series and goes about using some idiotic storyline from a 70s SciFi show... They change the apperance of the Atavus from the original storyline and give the characters stupid archetpical names like "Howlin."
ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!
It really makes me head hurt to see a bad show turn into such an utterly worthless show that I would kill myself if I happened to be forced to act in it by some retarded contract...
Please don't tell me I want a break from intellectual stimulation... Perhaps you do, but a good story has never taxed my mental faculties nearly an iota as much as 'word'...

It's all about revisiting the same moral issues and stories developed for TNG, and throwing out half of each actual script and reformating it to focus solely on two characters...
Throw in the hackneyed human vs. vulcan bull crap, couple it with a horrible theme song, and trample all over the history of shows that are actually worth watching for the sake of idiots like you, that would be better off watching Friends or something else equally moronic...
The History Channel is too into sensationalizing programs, just like TLC and Discovery. It also spends an inordinate amount of time on WW II, and has the random piece of non-history related conspiracy theory jabber...
This is why the History Channel, TLC, and Discovery have limited value. When they have people predicting the end of the world, why the fuck should I believe anything else they say?
Buffy is a mindless teen-oriented drama with steep story archs that always end in a simple and predictable manner, making the entire season much of a waste...
How many the-world-will-end-we-must-spend-an-entire-year-fe aring/preparing/tracking-a-monster-then-kill-it-in -two-minutes seasons can anyone stand with a show whose only redeaming quality is the boobage?

They took away my ability to stipulate the terms of obtaining my WORK. It doesn't matter if they take everyone else's copy of the code away, they took away from me...
"You may have X if you agree to Y stipulations..."
*takes without agreeing to these stipulations as demonstrated by not following them*
Fuck, I bet you think you're enlightened or somehow fucking elite, otherwise your stupid ass wouldn't reply with such a mindless sort of "duh" crap...
Perhaps you should keep in mind that rights are man-made and thus the discussion has absolutely nothing to fucking do with being capable, but rather it being acceptable. I can piss down your throat, cut off your testicles, and incinerate the whole lot to keep your retarded ass from spawning any other genetically flawed beasts, but an army of whiney ass retards just like you will bitch and moan like a complex of welfare recipients hearing of the demise of the welfare system...
You should learn how to fucking spell, too...

I guess there's no such thing as identity theft, since the party whose identity I've used to gain goods and services is still in their possession...
Please don't generalize using your ideological beliefs. Theft is a legal matter, and there are many forms of it, not all of which involve the tangible...
