That's precisely what we need! We should encourage people who have no business managing their own piggy banks, let alone making 100K+ investments, to never ever care about failing - after all, we'll just tax ME to pay for their mistakes. It was probably my bad - I saved and waited for prices to come down, I made do with what I had rather than go into debt, I made hard choices so that I would NOT find myself in their situation. Obviously I am wrong and must be punished for this. Who cares, it's not YOUR money you're stealing right?

Pretty much anyone I know who puts up with^W^W does their gaming on consoles plays pirated games. DRM does not work on consoles any more than it does on the PC. I have direct first-hand experience with pirated games for the XBOX and the Wii.

I suggest you get yourself a bloody HOSTS file and quit messing around in the browser. Bonus ad-blocking for the whole PC, or network, even, depending on config.

Snakes on a plane.
Nuff said.

That'd be the way to go. I guess pretty soon an agreement would be reached, where they'd stop messing around with your content and you'd allow them access again. Market at work!

True, but they're doing it on their own network, not yours. It's obviously hostile behaviour but they don't actually owe you anything.

So, are you saying that NO natives were ever hostile to the coloners?

Oh really? Could you give us an example?

But we "change the equation" every single time we give any kind of medical treatment to anyone. Why are you singling this specific treatment out?

And that's precisely the situation I find myself in right now. I reached the conclusion that nothing can be done and, honestly? I stopped caring. But that's not the way I should be working.
