Regardless, I genuiunely don't care enough to pursue this line of questioning.

It would however serve you well to remember the things you learn here in the future, because you showed several quite dangerous misconceptions both in terms of your legal right and legal obligations, as well as lack of understanding of concept of fraud.
As a professional computer technician with 15+ years of experience, I know what my legal rights and responsibilities are. It's painfully obvious that you're not familiar with using Microsoft products in the real world.
You don't need to be "familiar with pirate bay" to know that most of the modern pirated versions of windows have long ago solved any microsoft DRM problems.
You falsely accuse me of committing crime and fraud, and insinuated that I'm familiar with the various techniques for pirating Windows. I buy my Microsoft products from Microsoft and Newegg. I don't need to know how to pirate Windows when I already bought Windows through legitimate channels.
But it sure as hell refutes the attacks on NASA that were saying "the private sector will do space flight cheaper and safer".
NASA made space flight looked so routine with the space shuttle program (i.e., boring) that people stopped paying attention. When space flight becomes dangerous (i.e., Challenger and Columbia disasters), people pay more attention. For a while. After the problems are fixed, and space flight becomes routine again, no cares about it.
I graduated the eighth grade with fifth grade writing/math skills and college-level reading comprehension because I was misdiagnosed as mentally retarded in kindergarten. I skipped high school and went to the community college, graduating with an A.A. degree in general education four years later. Until I established myself professionally in the I.T. field, I had trouble getting level-entry jobs because I didn't have a high school diploma despite having an A.A. degree.
My ex-roommate took out $25,000 in loans to study automotive industrial design on the West Coast because... he likes cars. Never mind that the only kind of jobs he ever had were logistic positions for warehouses. Until Telsa set up shop in Silicon Valley, it's a fairly useless degree.
When I graduated from community college with my A.S. degree in computer programming, I had to take my last three programming classes as indepedent study courses as the classes were cancelled. Health care became the new money major and no wanted to be in computers. I even made the president's list for maintaining a 4.0 GPA in my major.
Wait until you get a new sprinkler controller for your lawn that will let you change the settings via a smart phone app. You're gonna love "Internet of Things" while turning the water on/off from your rocking chair.
I'm just speculating as to why a movie threater would design a building to be a cellphone dead zone. The building design doesn't prevent someone from playing Angry Birds during the middle of a movie.
Concrete and steel. I suspect the tinted glass in doors and windows might have something special in them. If I stood on one side of the glass door, I got less than a bar on my cellphone. The bars popped to normal range when I stepped outside.
Some of the newer theaters are blocking cellphone reception inside the building. If you want to use your cellphone for voice and/or data, you need to step outside of the building to pick up reception. I guess this prevents someone with a wireless camera from transmitting to a recording device in the parking lot.
To give you activations on the OEM key, you have to tell Microsoft that it's for the same machine. When you lie about it because it's actually a different machine, as you have state here very clearly, you are performing an act that criminal law recognises as fraud.
On the few occasions that I called Microsoft to activate Windows, I informed them that I have an OEM disc with a valid license key AND I have replaced the motherboard/CPU/memory for the SAME machine that I previously activated the OEM disc on. Microsoft gives me a new activation code. If you got a problem with that, take it up with Microsoft.
P.S. FYI: essentially all popular of copyright infringing windows versions offered on piratebay get updates normally.
I'm not familiar with piratebay, as I don't deal with illegal software.
I once decommissioned a Windows 98 that a user had for eight years. Popped open the cover and found a grapefruit-sized dust ball next to the fan. That, ladies and gentlemen, was the red giant of dust bunnies.
clarified that you defrauded microsoft into giving you new product keys.
I think this is where your misunderstanding is coming from. Microsoft never provided new product keys to me. They simply re-activated the license after I switched out the hardware. Check out the Genuine Windows, in particular: "Usually, you need to activate Windows only once, unless you make a significant hardware change."
If my Windows installation wasn't legit, I wouldn't be getting Microsoft updates. Hence, no fraud or crime was committed. Except maybe using Windows until I get a new Mac system.
For the record, I'm not a theologian. I did spent 13 years in a non-denominational church that used the Book of Acts as it guiding principle for nearly 30 years. After the founder was tossed out for failing to deliever the Second Coming between 1999 and 2001, the church went back to the Gospels. I was tossed out a few years later because I doubted they knew what the hell they were doing in the post-founder era. Please excuse if what I learned about God and the Bible doesn't meet your high theological standards.
Wish I had bought when the stock tanked into the $400's.
As long as money is involved, all sins are forgiven.
People aren't opposed to homosexuals, they are opposed to homosexual lifestyle: being a pervert, anal sex, drugs, rape, life constantly centered around sex, acting (and most of times being) crazy, misoginy, low morals, irresponsibility, polyamory, huge vector of STDs, generally distrustful, known to play the victim, and the worst of all pederasty (40% or more of gay people are pedophiles, which is why they are barred from adoption).
I know quite a few straight people who done most, if not everything, on your list. Some of them even called themselves Christians. Homosexual are sinners like the rest of us. It's not our place to judge and condemn them. God will decide everyone's fate.
People who are opposed to homosexuals are often Christians who quote heavily from the fire and brimstone passages of the Old Testament. If they have read their Bible (most don't), the New Testament replaced the Old Testament and Jesus commands us to love our neighbors.
I prepare my own food at home. I spend about $6 per day for three meals. As for hamburger, I get big bag of 16 frozen patties for $8, eight hamburger buns for $1 and 16 cheese slices for $1. A double cheese burger cost me $1.25 to make.
Jesus never commented on homosexuality in the New Testament. What the Bible does say about homosexuality comes from the Old Testament and Paul the Apostle in the New Testament. If the Son of God has nothing to say about homosexuality, it probably doesn't matter as long as sexual relations is kept within a marriage.

Everyone is looking at the WIMPs or SIMPs. But what about the BLIMP in the middle of the room?

Around the bend: the master/doctoral degree is the new high school diploma.

I'm sure sex bots will be popular category in the future. Is there really a need for human-like robot technology?

With John Carmack on board, I just find it interesting that Oculus Rift is using UE4 from Epic Games and not the id Tech 6 from id Software.

Quake can get 500+ FPS on a modern GPU, it should work fine with these new fangle-dangle headsets. Can I get the one with the beer cans on the sides?
So you're saying that if you're willing to pay a 25% premium, you'll earn the ability to waste time at the grocery store and in your kitchen?
Considering that I'm on a low-carb diet, I need to measure what I eat. That's hard to do if you're eating on the run.
Your 99 cent theology sucks.

I will treat your religion with the contempt it deserves.
That's fine. But keep in mind I was expressing an opinion about religion, not banging you over the head with the Bible to convert you.
People who are opposed to homosexuals are often Christians who quote heavily from the fire and brimstone passages of the Old Testament. If they have read their Bible (most don't), the New Testament replaced the Old Testament and Jesus commands us to love our neighbors.
You're not free to tell the rest of the world how to live.
Yet just told me to STFU expressing an opinion concerning religion after expresing your own opinion concerning religion. Now that's hypocrisy.
