crappy product or not, technically gamepark (manufacturers) are not involved in the piracy from what i can tell. The emulator is not written by the company but rather by an independent developer.
if a snes emulator ran on mac, is apple responsible for it?
Absolutely a bad idea, i agree. Just because your job moved up to canada does not mean the grass is greener over here (yes I am in Canada). And trust me, it is as bad up here. My friend just got laid off because the company is moving the whole operation to China...
Tariffs could have negative effects not directly but indirectly. Take sugar for instance. Odd example, but hear me out. Sugar has an import tariff to protect the US sugar manufacturers. It protected the manufacturers but it had a huge indirect effect. Since the sugar prices were cheaper (especially in Canada), all the candy manufacturers moved up to Canada.
Now think software. If software tariffs indeed is feasible and succeed, sure it might protect software manufacturers, but what about those who depend on them? If a software for factories (robots, assembly line etc) is imposed tariffs, where would the factories stand? What about consulting? Tax software? Could see CPA's opening up offices in canada just to avoid the massive software prices...
Rather than protectionism, I think more effort should be put towards innovation. Anyway, that is my 2 cents.
I used RedHat up to 7.3 and when i tried 8 i was thoroughly disappointed.
I switched to gentoo after reading various sources. I thought I might have to do a lot of configurations manually. However, that turned out to be a major misconception. Little time consuming maybe, but not at all hard.
I found it easy and documentations very good. Forums are better than any support doc you can find for RedCrap.
I love the way portage handles packages and the fact that I can choose to, if i wanted to, to throw in compilation options.
Whether it is for newbies or not I don't know. I will tell you tho that i consider myself a newbie.
I believe that Gentoo is what I think Linux is suppose to be - can take default but leaves a lot of room for the tinkerer.
PS: and who can forget Larry the cow... better than a hat.....
That is great and all, but a license does not stop anyone from using it. For instance if country XYZ (e.g. "terrorist" nations) decides to use your software for military purposes and do not care for your licenses, there is nothing stopping them. Hence you cannot regulate who uses it.
Hey if a "you have to pay for this software" clause in a license doesn't work, what would make "do not use it for military" work?
if nobody plays, then we won't have interesting articles for/. (e.g. some guy playing for 86hrs and collapsing in the washroom). then what we gonna talk about?

I agree. I have seen this in Korea as well years ago and with a pretty good adoption rate. Why is this news?
