"Those that buy it on PC are mostly folks who don't understand the difference between a dedicated server and a localhost."
Wha-? The people who play on PC know very well the difference. The whole pc fps industry was built off of dedicated servers (bf2? cod4?). that is by far the dumbest statement I have read about this whole snafu.
They lost at least two sales from this apartment for being stupid.
And I even installed windows on a cheap harddrive for the game. *shrugs* oh well, guess I can use that space for something else.
any business that requires its customers to change is a business doomed to fail. No business should force its customers to match its vision of revenue.
As a customer of comcast, what i want is not free internet access. cheaper maybe, and faster with less downtime, but not free. I work in IT i know much effort goes into getting me my funny youtube videos.
Make biased, uninfromed statements like that just show your a raving idiot.
Wait...
Google took down the links because a company said it was against the DMCA? nothing like guilty until proven otherwise. Good on you Google! you bow to the every whim of any crackpot with a lawyer! that'll show em.
I think the whole google thing is a much bigger story than perfectbitch.com (regards to Tone Deaf above)
Is it just me or do they need to change the name of the party?
Maybe the Consumer's Party (lord knows we need one) or something. Pirate party just gives me images of bad costumes, bad acting, and ninjas.
I had a techer in college say this about ssl:
"Usung HTTPS is like sending $0.02 across town in an armour'd car."
And he was right, but at this point I want my $0.02 cents protected. I am not sure what your argument was. Remember, all information not "protected"(with its flaws) by https is wide open. Even ajax on pages with https may be unsecure. My idea is to make the whole connection secure, regardless of the subject matter.
There was a scare a few months ago over how a person could get a cert of another company. That kind of stuff goes right by browsers.
The reason for having client side cert has nothing to do with the endpoints themselves, but the path between endpoints. you isp, any gov, their isp would oblivious to the information you are passing. Even with the current server side encryption you have no real idea what is on the other side. At least this way you know that the end to end connection is secure.
Nope, the problem I have is i have to "trust" that the server on the other end is the one the ssl cert says it is. This is where a man in the middle attack can happen. If i own the certs, then i know that the certs are mine. Client-side encryption will allow compelty private browsing all of the time, instead of hoping that while you are using your credit card the ssl cert hasn't been broken. again client-side encryption will not solve phishing.
And the fundamental flaw in the internet is the fact that, unless the site use ssl or a javascript encryption, everything you do on the internet is plaintext. that should be so. like sending everything, from "im doing fin letters" to state secrets using a postcard. not too safe.
The problem I have with witopia is that my connection from witopia (through my ISP and to theirs) is completly secure. But the connection from their vpn server to the internet site i want to surf to is not (a fundamental flaw with the internet in general).
I think a client should give a public key to the server(ssl-in-the-browser). client side encryption makes alot more sense. no more man in the middle attack with ssl certs since I have the keys(Of course, won't solve phishing, but only paying attention will do that now). And most importantly: the connection is secure from endpoint to endpoint.
just goes to show what assuming does to people.
If you asked me personally what insurance I would recommend, it would be the one I use. The local one that doesn't bombard me with a thousand advertisements per day. Funny how that works.
same here. Unless it is on the radio, I do not listen to any new RIAA music. (i grandfathered in my existing collection). Sites like jamendo have done a ton to fulfill my tastes.
(and yes, that means I don't purchase or illegally acquire RIAA music)
just on the books thing:
I personally have taken the approach that if I don't pick up a book after reading it the first time, I donate the book to my local library, they are usually more than happy to take any kind of book, paperback, hardcover, sci-fi, classic lit, non-fiction. Of course there are series I haven't read again and will never give up :)

On the post: The Moral Argument In Favor Of File Sharing?
If it is an infinite good, then no, I don't think it is morally wrong.
what is wrong is locking up human advancement (much like the person who emailed you said) behind walls of money and law.
If a person owns the land a river is on, is it wrong to take a glass of water to give your friend?
