Copy protection is just stupid. These companies spend all this money to prevent it from getting cracked, but it always does in the end. If some company was to just say "We're not going to use copy protection because people will get around it anyways" (or something around those lines) I would buy their product immediately.
Because if the file you want isn't today's hot movie or game then there's a good chance you won't find a seed.
Actually, this isn't really true. Any Linux distribution on the planet has plenty of seeds. Not only that, but it sure beats going one-by-one through FTP mirrors looking for one with a considerable speed. You get 400 or more KB/s right of the bat.
Obviously you haven't tried the latest ATI drivers. I get a 10-15 FPS boost in games in Linux over Windows. Cedega works like a charm as well as Doom 3 and Unreal Tournament 2004 (both of which work natively in Linux).
ATI is pretty much holding steady to their "every two months" release schedule (they were two days off for the latest relesase) and every single release has steadily gotten better. I predict that by the time the R250 comes out ATI's drivers will be screaming past Nvidia's.
Oh yeah, and ATI's added AMD64 support and it works great.

Don't you keep a backup?

Yup. Just gotta wait a week or whatever for my Linux version. I'll be auto-refreshing the download page with Opera until then.
if you lose it? It's like those faabs you attach to your keys. What if you lose the faab?
this won't get cracked as easily as SHA-1.
