bitch got what she deserved

Maybe the US shouldn't be responsible for feeding people in Africa. After all, Americans pay taxes to the US government, not Africans.

Watch this thread get deleted, just like my account..

I think happygeek should change his name to happysuit. And dani should be happyhoe.

Hello Josh.

Programming and Rubik's cubes.

The "defects" of organisms is quite damning as well.
For example, the human eye has light receptors underneath muscle. We also get goose bumps when we're cold, the original purpose of which was...

I would destroy the economy and take over the world.

Sturm is a character from my favorite series, Dragon Lance. It's ironic because I hate Sturm in the story with a passion, with Raistlin instead receiving my pick of favorite character. Though I like...

It boggles me, how did you manage to get 13 seconds? I got over ~300 and quit due to boredom.

I like European chocolate ice cream.

>People like that do exist, and they makes the ones who can throw away their morals when life gets hard look ridiculous.

People like that tend to lead poor and miserable lives.

>well, if I paid for something, I will not like others using that same thing for free.

It's called social responsibility.

Artists and hollywood can still make money. Artists can perform live and hollywood can make money off of movie theaters.

>currently, almost everyone who contributes code to such communities, does it on his or her own free FROM ACTUAL PAID WORK time, when they can spare an hour or two.

Do you realize that the *vast*...

>Whose good society?

Mine of course.

>If we didn't get paid for our work then there would be no software for you and others to steal.

How many times do I have to reiterate this? Are people just plain stupid? YOU CAN MAKE MONEY ON...

>Are you advocating that all software should be open source?

Yes, I am.

>would you work for free?

You seem to be incorrectly assuming that you can't make money off open source software.

>And perhaps you can give one reason why you feel entitled to get everything available for free?

I'll assume that you mean "software" when you say "everything." Proprietary software is immoral and...

Someone give me one reason why I shouldn't "pirate" software? Why should I let corporations control my activities and my life?

I would think you, jtwenting, a staunch Social Darwinist, would...

> If everyone used your flawed logic, commercial software would stop because nobody would pay for it.

That is because for a company, it's really not worth it the risk.

>When you steal software you are violation federal and international copyright laws.

Am I supposed to care? If there's no penalty, why not?

>Then you are a fool.

I'm a fool for actually...

>Oh, so now shoplifting isn't theft either.

You're depriving the store of property aren't you? If I "pirate" software that I have no intention of buying, I'm not directly hurting the creator.
...

>So depriving someone of money by taking something without paying for it isn't theft?

If I wasn't going to buy it in the first place, no it's not.

You can villainize it all you want. That...

>You're punished in a way that's representative of the value of the product you've stolen and the value of the product is the listed price.

Software "piracy" is not theft. Theft means to "deprive...

Happy New Year! I missed the ball ;-(

Happy New Years!

>Now that's called bad cheating. If you're gunna cheat, don't go for 100%. Aim for 90 at best.

Meh, this teacher had a reputation for idiocy.

I remember this one test I had. The teacher gave us the tests and left the room. Naturally everyone pulled out their books and just copied down the answers. The teacher seemed honestly astounded that...

I don't like 1984, Animal Farm is far superior.

Though people claim it is user friendly, ubuntu isn't technically sound nor the least bit consistent. It makes things more complicated (and therefore more prone to breakage) by adding bloated ...

I use Arch Linux. I just find *nix a lot easier than windows in regards to programming, servers, etc. For example, when I want a new lib it's as easy as pacman -Sy <lib> . I can be *almost* 100%...

>The irony of this is that neither Linux nor BSD are officially POSIX-compliant (although they try to adhere to the standards for the most part).

It should be noted that the reason Linux nor BSD...

>If it really was because they were spanked, wouldn't there have been far more killing and violence back when everyone was spanked?

There was.

Currently I play Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2: Death Match. Sauerbraten, and Nexuiz.

You really can't ignore the fact that there are *zero* currently effective (e.g working) Linux viruses and thousands of windows ones. One Linux and UNIX, you really just have to worry about being...

Skinny

I don't really consider eastern "rpgs" to be "real" rpgs due to their fixed plot line and lack of control.

>still stick by the Zelda as an rts since, from what I remember, the you still had to battle characters in real time as opposed to something like FF7 where the battles are turn based. Not sure if...
