um... who said anything about actually pirating Windows aside from something being so ineffective that pirating would be better? RTFP more?

Who cares? I care, people who believe in the notion that not everything is everybody's business care. Privacy matters to us, if you don't understand that, that's your thing, don't make it our problem.

Sounds less an issue of being good or bad and more a matter of crappy search algorithms.

Um.... so basically, posting anon == no balls? [citation needed, please]

The only lag I ever experienced: Sonic 1, Labyrinth Zone, badnicks + water + winging spike balls + lost rings actually gummed up the works nicely.

That reminds me of something I noticed with the NES game Gradius II - that stage with the ice crystals that break when you shoot them... having the Vic Viper, 4 option shadowing, all of those shooting a ripple laser and twin missiles ON TOP OF enemy ships flying and shooting at you AND the ice crystal things moving around and splitting when you shoot them.... holy shit, the lags.

*ge-force GT 630 , my bad - typo.

On a computer running a 2.2GHz Intel i3 with an nVidia ge-force GT 660 card and 4GB of ram, how good can you get games running?

I can rn Garry's Mod, or any other source game, at highest setting AND run FRAPS at 60FPS full size without everything becoming laggy and shit [even maps with a lot of water, and all sorts of rendering effects] - if that serves any purpose so far as putting into perspective what it currently CAN run.

I'm confused, having heard conflicting things, as to whether fair use counts as "permissible infringement," or if fair use is an outright EXCEPTION, and not an infringement.

there are sites with all the listed parts needed, and the instructions on HOW to build, a ROM dumper for various consoles - if you're into building it yourself... if you're looking for prebuilt hardware for dumping, I gotta look as even I'M curious about that.

Pointing out a limitation != whining. People should learn what a word means before trying to be an asshole while misusing it.

Stop dancing around the issue, trying to shift the goalposts, and answer the fucking question. This is about scripps trying to claim copyright over a NASA BROADCASTED FEED, NASA BEING A GOVERNMENT agency that doesn't have ccopyright over [most?] of its videos, etc.

You do know the difference between the "hippie" himself, and the people who heard about this / want to find out, or how stupid this sounds?

Because it was an idiotic assumption - just not wanting to use iTunes isn't whiny, whining [learn2English], nor a sign that one only pirates, or pirates at all for that matter - compatibility, quality, selection, all variables that get factored in.

Maybe its the Tunes client, the selection, or the quality/format. .. no, it has to be that he has to pay for songs... what are you, stupid?
