It's amazing that an article can go on and on and say absolutly nothing at all. It was a passible history of LDAP, but it didn't address how LDAP was any better or worse than MS AD.
Truth be told, there is no fool-proof security. It's a matter of making it annoying enough to most people that they won't try. If you really want to steal something and you have the time, money and resoursces, for the most part, you can do it.
Security is a cat and mouse game that never ends. Just because someone got around it doesn't invalidate it. Its a fact of life as well.
No one is perfect. Piracy is a fact of life. If you don't like having to jump though hoops, piss and moan at the people out there that make this sort of thing neccessary!
What would you suggest valve do? Stick their heads in the sand and be robbed blind?
Nice!!! I was wondering if anyone was going to point this out. Piracy is Piracy is Piracy.. even if it software, music, or some other IP. Someone put time, money and effort into its creation and deserve some compesnastion...what compensation and for how long, well that could be a whole other thread!!
Comparing a no-cd crack and a screwdriver is a bit of a strech. There are many legitimate uses for a screwdrive there are no legitmate uses for a crack. A crack's only use is to circumvent legitmate copyright protection.
So you use a tool to circumvent the copy protection on product and aren't happy with the outcome. Stop your whining!! Don't use tools that used for software piracy! You think Valve is going go and find out your just lazy and aren't trying to steal from them? Stop and think for a second.
We all know software piracy is rampant. And it is seems a bit disingenuous to sit there and bitch over a company trying to make a legitimate buck. If software piracy was not such a problem and so pervasive, then such seemingly draconian methods wouldn't be neccissaray. But here in the real world it is.
Furthermore, for those of you crying over being locked out of steam because you tried pirating HL2, get a life. You play with fire, you get burnt. Maybe next time you'll think better of it.
Frankly many of you out there seem to want to have your cake and eat it too. It seems somewhat ridiculous to expect a company to spend enormous time, effort and resources to create a game, which has a relatively short shelf life, and not to vigilantly protect that investment.
So if you don't want to have to jump through hoops to play your games, don't engage it software piracy and make sure your friends aren't either. Otherwise stop your damn whining!!!

Unfortunately your pronouncement of "no scientific proof" is wrong. There is a growing body of evidence that in fact that there are differences in the brain of people with ADD/ADHD. A lot of the bad press, hence the scepticism, over ADD/ADHD is over the rampant over diagnosis.
Also your analogies while interesting are overly simplistic and don't do your argument justice.
And lastly, the drugs prescribed for ritalin are safe, with some medical suppervision. Getting dosages right (especially for children) can be tricky. And there is the question of abuse.......
