As you have seen, those properties of OGM used by people who propagate it are no real advandage, and at least one major drawback could be easily xed to some extent without breaking compatibility to anything. But no one seems to care to x it. It seems that people who could x don’t care enough about OGM to really do it. Finally, here the excerpt of a ’discussion’ between one of the most famous OGM Zealot and other people: Zealot: "Who would put ac3 or dts into ogm btw.? OGM is meant to be a container for ogg vorbis sondtracks and video as well as subtitles." Someone else: "So you acknowledge the fact that OGM is just a technology demonstration to advertise Vorbis ? Not a general purpose container ?" Zealot: "You know very well that OGM is a general purpose container..." As you can see, not even OGM Zealots trying to defend OGM at all costs (again, OGM, I don’t speak about OGG here!) can write reasonable sen- tences not contradicting each other.
The choice between self-respect and life is always a hard one.
Investing time on a project that could be shut down by an intellectual property holder is always a risk. I learned that many years ago when a wanker named Rob Repp stormed the ADND-L and demanded fans to remove any materials which contained T$R characters and trademarks.
I once installed Shareaza, and found eventually that it had downloaded a lot of high profile pirated software
I have looked into the sources of Shareaza and I am now certain that you were either a forgetful pirate, or a virus did that to you or you are producing worse than FUD libel.
Choose one that pleases you.
Shareaza doesn't download anything for you. Your comment is not insightful; it is either overrated or trollish.
I once installed Shareaza, and found eventually that it had downloaded a lot of high profile pirated software, presumably to share on the network and increase download speeds for other users.
The real open source Shareaza or the fake Discordia client ?
I find it a bit hard to believe; are you sure that it was _it_ and not _you_ who downloaded the files (possibly with different/fake names) ?
I am almost certain that Shareaza doesn't do anything illegal although it can be (just as FTP or HTTP) used for illegal purposes.
This will just annoy the people who did buy the game.
I pirated Prince of Persia a few months ago. It was great. So I bought it in Christmas to support the creators (as I always do with software I like or use) and it came protected with Tages. I deleted the original and backed up the pirated version instead. I am not sure if the pirated copy was cracked; I think Ubisoft added the Tages layer for the downloadable version only.
My point is that I don't care how draconian their copy protection is, as long as it can be cracked. If it can't, Ubisoft will lose me as a customer.
I'll ask you the same question I asked CAcert some years ago: "who is going to take responsibility, and what is he going to lose, if your security is compromised ?"

Compare the percentage of an 80s CPU being used in encryption vs the percentage of a modern CPU being used in encryption.
Are you certain that modern CPUs are not being used to brute force their way in encrypted data ?
Crypto's not the weak link in security anymore
That's what you think.
Unfortunately most people won't find this insightful.
1. repulsive or distasteful.
2. excessively sweet or sentimental.
3. unsophisticated or old-fashioned.
4. sticky; viscid.

The fate of T$R could be a lesson to Activision.

Which means I have to demolish my home ?
What model is that HP ?

You and many of us as well; see No Mutants Allowed.
Just wanted to restate the obvious, that most geeks don't want an Internet tablet?
No; I wanted to state the power freedom of running the code you want to run grants you.
As well :)
Yes, with a USB burner.

Why is that important ?
You are using the racism straw man to misrepresent his argument.
superuser and less-privileged users - implemented since win2k
What taste does your thumb have ?
But he is right. Pedophiles do have a harder time in prison.
Then how does Vista-7 have a much slower hibernation compared to XP, running the same applications ?
If what you say were true, Vista-7 would ignore the cache before hibernation, and write only the essential data on the disk before shutting down.
This will just annoy the people who did buy the game.

So, yes, you are right, at least in my case.
I'll ask you the same question I asked CAcert some years ago: "who is going to take responsibility, and what is he going to lose, if your security is compromised ?"
Of course not, but disabling Javascript and firewalling Foxit as well isn't a bad idea.
