I wouldn't publicly admit to knowing that. You just:
A) Admitted that you've joined one of these sites for the express purpose of obtaining an illicit copy of a game (regardless of whether they had the file, that you know they didn't shows that you searched, which shows intent)
B) Admitted that you are willing to knowingly pay for pirated media (really, at that point, why not buy it legitimately? Sure, it's cheaper, but you're now tying your name to the transaction)
C) Admitted to having fallen for the scam. Multiple times. (You did say most, which implies that you have experience with multiple for-pay warez sites)
Maybe he is owner of one of these sites or involved somehow in distribution and knows inside-outs. This doesn't nullify though the stupidity of admission
even better - over Steam you can buy a package with all Valve games (including left 4 dead and one free pass of HL2, guest passes, etc..) for only $99.99 US.

Embrace this article fellow geeks.... as it means that we are now popular with the girls..
ah..I see it every day. The moment I say that I am programmer they start to screem out of the excitment and conseqently go totally wild....with me noting that I already downloaded a torrent with similar content and wondering if she wants to come to my place so that I can show her the code from my latest project that i am involved in.
How do you guys do that? I want a piece of action...as well.
when i have (lucid) dreams it involves a enguin with sombrero, a talking hyena split into picies and sortred in associative array, that damn guy with muchine gun that fires tiny trees and sheeps instead of bullets, naked cousin with the picke out of his arse and all that in front of the house where I was born.
... this is an orchestrated bleeding dry of everything that our Universities have to offer
boo-hoo. cry me a river will ya, and while you at it make me a sandwich... I mean, how this drying out everything that our Universities have to offer differentiates from drying out everything that oil rich nations have to offer .
Don't be such hypocrite. It seem to me that for you it is ok and absolutely normal for U.S. to exploit foreign resources, but it is not ok for someone else exploiting US resources.
""Shady"? Come on, it's pretty obvious that the vast majority of those reviews were written people who had never even seen the book. They were just bashing the author. They deserved to be deleted." It's pretty obvious also (after her admitting) that she didn't play any of the Mass Effect. She [her work] deserves same style review/criticisms/bashing. I call it a fair game.
You are missing my point, the parent said
the Scripture passages used to justify geocentrism were a misuse and misinterpretation of Scripture mainly held to by Protestants and I just reflect that thought on today's misuse and misinterpretation of the scriptures, and today's opposition of evolution theory.
I mean there is nothing wrong with saying religion thinks god created everything and science thinks it all evolved from monkeys or whatever the theory will be changed to by then. Of course there is nothing wrong with it, and that was exactly my point. I think that religion and evolution can co-exist together, but it's not science that needs to be changed or altered in order for this symbiosis to exist, but religion and theological thought.
First, the church isn't god or representative of god. It is the study of god and at least according to my bible, when two or more people gather to study the words of god, they are at church Church is not the study of god per se, but it is rather the "preservation of truth", so that 'truth' never falls into error. Again, I was referring to parents use of the noun Church and Pope's authority over that same Church, and that's where we have the ambiguity . Furthermore, this topic is not about Church teachings/actions, but rather Pope's teaching/actions.Hence my question - who does Pope represents? Church/teaching? communion/followers?, himself or god/ultimate_truth? If Church regretted mistreatment* of Galileo, why then Pope has a different stance on that? That was my hole point.Who has an authority? If Church is defined by 2+ people, and if these two characters listen to Pope (studying god with Pope being a teacher) than we have a problem within the Church.
Also, we can push this even more - did scientist oppose Pope (his views/statements) or the Church altogether? because, IMO, and by the looks of it, they are two separate entities.
I'm not a believer in organized religion because of how easily it is cooped for other gain and motives. I am atheist my self, and I agree with you on this one. again, this use of religion for other gains is often propagated by church/mosque/sinagoga leaders.
Ok, Problem here
Galileo did not prove the Bible wrong... the Scripture passages used to justify geocentrism were a misuse and misinterpretation of Scripture mainly held to by Protestants, not the Church. the passages used to defend geocentrism are allegorical in nature, not literal. Everything in Bible is (mis)used and (mis)interperted with current theologian thought and current [indisputable] scientific facts.. In few years/decades/whatever from now, if indisputable evidence supporting evolution is found, for example, than the same argument would be used. Some/. grandchild of yours would say "Darwin didn't prove bible wrong, the scripture passage to justify anti-evolution stance were misused..."
the Church has on more than one occasion expressed regret for the treatment of Galileo. We are talking about the Pope here who justified the killing of Galileo (without being regretful), not the Church. Who holds primary authority anyways? "Church" or the Pope?.What Church represents? God or Pope? Pope or Communion? what is a "[catholic] Church" in your dictionary? It's really ambiguous in mine. Why people listen what Pope says and consider that to be a formal church stance and not some monk? Pope should be careful what he says and when he says it, and that's for a reason.
In Australia we order pints as well. But, imo, that has nothing to do with imperial units (well it has, it is actually a imperial pint (~ 5dl)) but rather some form of cultural heritage and usage is purley local (only in pubs). Everything else is in metric units.
Does it bother you that much that these journalists want to make it easier for the general public to understand how big data storage they are talking about?
I agree. However, I would go even further and instead of using geekish bytes and bits we should use something like 400 billions of mp3s. You know, so that myspace user out there can understand TFA. They clearly have interest in this sort of news.
>> What about the war on grammar?
>>How about war on grammar nazies, and nazies in general (I'm sure Steven Spielberg would even make a movie about it).
How about making a movie with one fighting others - Saving Private Spellchecker, or something.
Maybe it dosen't. But certanly Howard goverment is behaving like it does (Iraq, Kyoto, Hicks, being non-asutralian vs being non-patriotic, ect...). Basicly, mirroring whatever US do or/and say. Hence the impression of the GP that US "owns" Australia. Its not his mistake, nor its yours. Its just the way it is.
