I'm not too worried. The cracked copies are always Enterprise versions. Not that I intend to move to Windows 10 any time in the foreseeable future anyway.

Oh, and don't even tell me about anti-virus. That is just a CPU hog that does not get allowed on my system. If I download a cracked copy of software it will get scanned by an online scanner, but having crap running all the time that slows the PC to sludge and gives false positives when you program something is just right out!

This is probably a big part of the problem. People at home don't have a test system to screw around with. Even if they did, who wants to waste time doing crap like that. If the system is working now and updating it gives a chance of things breaking, don't update it. One woman they interview mentioned how she lost all her contacts in her smart phone when she updated the software. Yeah, I sure as hell would not update that any more. I don't do Microsoft updates either as safe computing gets me all the safety I need until I need to re-install the system due to bloat. Since Windows is only a gaming platform for me at this point, my re-installs are way down from what they used to be back in the XP days. Back then it would only be 12 - 18 months before a complete format and re-install would get things speedy again. I have heard that the bloat issue may not be as bad anymore, but I can't really verify since so few things are installed on it now.

I have also been putting off the update for my Galaxy S5 phone because I want to back everything up before doing it. Plus, when I actually do all the work of backing things up to mess with changing the firmware I am going to put Cyanogenmod on there anyway, so the stupid nagging update nag notice is just in my way. Once Cyanogenmod is there then the stupid update notices will be under my control and can be turned off or let them proceed since they don't screw up like Samsung would be likely to do.

If you can pay attention for one second and try to listen. She has made the threats against herself. YES! I do say that makes her a reprehensible person. There are links to the screenshots of the evidence here as well as other places where she attacked innocent people.

My point was that her side is the Nazis and is saying we are wrong if we don't support her. Fuck that!

It is true that you should not support people harassing other or doxxing them. That is why the GG side is the evil side. They have done way more doxxing and harassing than the innocent people who just want to play games. In fact, most of the threats against women were perpetrated by the GG side against themselves so they could have ammo in their cause. Wake up to the facts and do some research yourself!

I would agree it isn't women game developers that are the problem. It is only the GG gang that seems to be causing all the problems!

Unless you started backing the evil side before finding out they were a bunch of Jew killing Nazis. In that case neutrality is better than taking a side.

Actually, the cost of the placebo you are taking can make a difference on how well it works. There are plenty of links on a simple Google search, but here is one.

I also remember seeing two or three differently colored bottles of drugs that had different prices, but were all placebo. Doctors can prescribe these if they feel it would help.

I have a hard time seeing why games like Car Wars and some of your other games should have any difficulty going digital. In fact I am wishing for a Car Wars game to play. Not real time action/arcade, but the turn based one where you can use strategy and car build matters. Why haven't you created something like this yet? I guess I figured you were either already working on it, or you had your reasons not to do it.

P.S. I have plans for a turn based car battle game for Android and would love to partner up. If your interested, email me.

Some studies show that injuries are worse when helmets are worn. It's not the neck injuries you might think due to the weight of the helmet either. It's more along the lines of people feeling indestructible when wearing one that they act in much more dangerous ways.

Just give them the ID10T form and move on to other things.

This is some pretty unthinking logic you have going on here. How can land erode away to nothing. Is the Earth a flat plate sitting in space and once it erodes away there is nothing there but a hole? You do realize that underneath the land, there is more land right?

If your land is slowly eroding into a channel, then the area is getting smaller. As it gets very narrow the water divides by a smaller and smaller area of land showing the depth to be getting bigger. Once the channel gets to zero width, there is nowhere for the water to go, so it can't be zero depth or even infinite depth, it is a question that makes no sense. If a channel in the real world got infinitely narrow, it would make more sense in the real world that the water would flow over the land that made up the channel's sides, but that is outside the division equation you stated with. That was dividing to find the depth of the water within the channel, once the channel is gone you have to redefine the equation to use another parcel of land.

And if we go to the example where there is a hole into space through the flat earth, then it also makes no sense as there is no depth to water falling through a hole into nothing. It can't spread out onto land that isn't there.

Right, but if they have the database, they don't need to log into anything. They just need to crack the encrypted database, which they have in their hands, and it is still encrypted with the old password. See, changing the password does nothing.

How does changing the master password help anything. On a site, you change your password and the old one does not work anymore. With an encrypted database, the old password still works with the old copy of the database. Changing it only works if they got your old password and want to use it on the newly encrypted database. Since they have a copy of the old one, they can take their time cracking the old master password and any amount of changing it will do nothing to remedy that. You would have to change every password you have stored in the database so when they do crack it open none of them work in those sites any longer.

I hate it when the wind messes up my hair. Man! Nothing makes me grumpier than having my hair blown around and getting in my eyes by the wind. It makes driving with the windows down unbearable!
