Comment Re:How do you read a Wii disc in a PC? (Score 1) 249

I've downloaded all the ROMs I've used because I don't know how to get them onto my PC. However, I've only downloaded ROMs for games which I actually bought back in the day. The end result is as if I'd ripped them myself but without the hassle of actually doing it. I've heard certain LG DVD drives can read Nintendo discs but that's as much as I know.

As someone who uses his PC to run my current gen games (90% of the ones I want come out on PC), Gamecube, Wii and GBA games (gotta love emulators), as well as watch TV shows and movies, listen to music, browse the internet and do anything else a computer can do for about £350 I concur.

Well then the correct solution would be to remove the need or desire for people to want to gas each other by using the resources of the Earth responsibly and efficiently, utilising the best known science and technology, without the restrictions of imaginary ownership and contrived money sequences, to create a society conducive to peace and health. Peace and health are values which have no cultural relativity. Only a really insane person would want to destroy such a system, and reducing self-destructive behaviour like the destruction of another person is what a society conducive to health would be about. There would be no need for dominance and subordination because everyone could be fed, housed and educated equally and freely, driven by their own inborn desire to better themselves and thereby bettering all others. Science shows that dominance and subordination are not conducive to health. And science is not a cold thing or only half of the picture, it's literally the understanding of nature, which is the Universe and everything in it including ourselves. Technology is the application of science, and includes everything from wheels to computers. To build a society along these lines and thereby aligning with our understanding of the state and functions of the Universe is, of course, natural and conducive to peace and health. A Utopia is not possible unless perfection is actually attainable, but by tending towards perfection is the surest way to find out. So, again, the correct solution is not to ban the technology. I mean it may be a good short-term solution but it's patchwork.
