People who want to play good, polished games? I admit; they aren't many.

lol that one was actually funny! "my teaching expert system research project" fricken gold.

Let me know when God gets back to you on that decision.

LOL *high fives* come on dwightk, let's go get Apple tattoos on our foreheads! whooooooooo

Are they making it retroactive then?

Can you tell me more about why you think Microsoft isn't allowed to use Google's results in their results, or to use data gathered from Google searches to improve their engine?

Are you implying that Google owns a copyright on their search results?

yeah, so then you go use google when you notice it's faster and don't use bing anymore. I don't see where the outrage comes from. Just cuz M$ ?

It makes no difference either way. Bing is a search engine. I don't care if all it did was run your query over to Google and search on it and return the results with its own front.

Welcome to the internet, whiners. Anyone ever use aggregate search engines before? Chill out.

Because if they leave it up they can gather data to incriminate more individuals. Honeypot?

Do you seriously think you are making a point here?
The idea that morality can only come from some higher power is absurd. As you can see from this very discussion, ideas of right and wrong are different in different societies. Obviously, morality is collectively determined by the society.
Take the bucket off your head, coward.

I am no longer a pirate of anything, but I used to be. My position was that if I can't afford something, but I can benefit enormously from acquiring it while no one is hurt by the "theft", I should certainly do so. Many software tools fell into this category. Now that I am a productive member of society, I do not pirate anything since I have the means to pay for it. However, to have lost that experience and learning made possible by the pirating could have drastically changed my status today.

I think it's sarcasm. It used to be people would reply with how "XKCD is not 'obligatory'". I think this is just the next step of escalation. Take cover now.

At least Catholic girls are easy.

Not if they only spend the interest. There are investment options available that earn decent percentages. It is feasible.

Though it is not feasible for paycheck-to-paycheck dude.
