Exactly, as soon as someone streams the media (broadcasts, hosts or whatever) into my house. i can make a copy. if the copyright holder doesnt want to take a chance- dont stream it (or host, broadcast or whatever). this argument is so old it farts dust. been thru it with recording radio and using vcr's for tv and probably with some dude copying cuniform against the kings wishes.
i, myself, cannot fathom the mindset of "don't want to do it by changing the code because the time and effort spent to do that are much better spent developing"-- oh i have todo some more work--fuck it--let them cheat.--
thats all i hear. you dont do anything to stop cheating, then you are part of the problem.
spend time writing code or spend time and money in court later.
that's blizzards choice i guess.
i am not disagreeing at all. i am coming from a different place to meet you on common ground. i may not be as elegant in putting my thoughts together as you or megaditto - or able to organize them as you - however, to be most succint - i concur w/you. it goes to show that people coming from different places (whether it be culture, ethnic, modes of thought, etc) can essentially be thinking the same way. i have had many a good friendship start out thru complete disagreement.
i agree w/your concluding statement wholeheartedly and your reply is well thought out. i follow that course of action with regards to wargames and the like, pushing the envelope and all. however, people do this crap in real life also. they try on "alternate" personalities when around strangers or in unfamiliar social situations. i understand the concept but i cannot condone nor advocate such behavior. if a deciding factor in your behavior is "punch distance" (as noted in a previous reply), or your lack of consequences-> i do not have respect for that person. i will put my name behind (and in front of) what i say and/or do. if your gonna do it...OWN it. dont be a pussy. i can accept alot of differences between peoples when it comes to beliefs and morals, but being fake is pretty lame. Wow, seriousness in the middle of all the trolls.
they all go hand in hand. you need the big macs for energy (you can use the grease for lube) to screw the hookers , the blow to blast out the cholesterol and rock hard erection, etc...ahhhh-> thats entertainment.
Whats all this "we" bullshit. I dont need nor want you to save me. all you "do-gooders" arent really so altruistic as you would want the rest of the world to believe. keep your forced morality to yourself...fuckin Iggy.
i cannot believe that guy compared you to a rapist and pulling a twitter. too funny. and i thought i went off on some delusional rants...remember- sharing is caring!
several people, including myself, in my apartment building broadcast our wifi for the rest of the people. i have never had any bandwidth hogs. never any nefarious activities everyone seems to be so paranoid about. we just consider ourselves good neighbors. i do live in an area where we are all equally poor and those of us that can share - do share. as per the comments here it seems that there are more like minded individuals than i would have thought.
i really dont get it. i print out EULA's and keep 'em by the toilet to wipe my ass with. Seriously, if i buy a product (whatever it may be)- it is mine. to do with as i please (forgoing piracy et al). wonderbread doesnt tell me what kind of toaster i have to use to toast their bread. if you dont like how i (the end user) am going to use your product- dont sell it to me. i am not leasing or renting anything from apple or microsoft no matter what they want you to believe. i am not condoning or advocating psystar's actions- i am venting about the whole EULA bullshit. WOW! glad i got that off my chest. when i am done with my macbook is lil stevie gonna come and get it and give me my deposit back? (its a rental according to the EULA). or is ballmer gonna kick my door in cause i installed vista on the dell and i only rented the XP install disc according to his amyl nitrite addled ass? what pimple faced geek at best buy is gonna ask me if i agree to the EULA before i plunk down my money? NONE! not a fucking one. SO print out them EULAs and wipe my big fat hairy ass! Have a nice day.

that, my friend, would be called - folk art.
the only "tool" here is forced morality.

Either that, or perhaps some of us prefer being assholes on the Internet rather than in real life.
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH! More inane cowardly blathering here.
WRONG! I am most definately an ASSHOLE in real life, and you are a coward if you are afraid of saying something in real life.
that would be ...popular science...you know thet got a magazine and all.

Pull your skirt up. You're mumbling.
eight ball and a hooker every weekend.
C'mon, He's yer buddy...
an easy way to dump that tranny you picked last week end w/o the drama.
i just saw that video a few days ago and was more fascinated by the ultra-sonic bubble than the prospect of cold fusion.

Because what all drivers need, are distracting colors at high speed.
you forgot the amyl nitrate and mescaline...and texting one handed on the iphone.
