A better question would be "Why do you care?"

I can crack any smart phone in under 15 seconds.

With a sledgehammer...

Oh /. trolls, why can't I quit you?

How can you possibly say he had no authority to deny anything? His rules. His game. HIS PROPERTY. He most certainly has the right to say if and how someone else can use it. He certainly has NO OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER to accept your "help".

By your logic, I can come over right now and drive your car to Tijuana and back.

Now, you claim to want "intelligent discourse"? Fine. Go through my post above, where I start with "Well, yes and no. Thing is, this isn't about money" and logically and factually disprove what I said. So far, you haven't done so.

You want "intelligent discourse"? Prove it. Start by engaging in it, instead of ad hominem attacks.

Not going to continue this with you. You are obviously not listening/reading, nor do you have a clue. If you did, you would not make statements that "everything in your post is factually wrong" when the overwhelming majority of them are anything but. Have a nice day.

Well, yes and no. Thing is, this isn't about money.

Don't believe me? Read section VI. I quote: "You may have noticed that none of these provisions discuss money."

It's about intellectual property. They (SJ Games, to include whatever writers they were working with), as the content creator, most certainly have the right to say how their property can be used. Just because you're not making money off of it doesn't give you the right to use their IP. The licensing that they refer to in the section you reference is as much (or more, I'd bet) about protecting their IP and how it is used than about $$$. And when I say "how it is used", I refer to not just the medium in which it is used (digital vs. tabletop) but, more importantly, to the content that is used in conjunction with it.

Nowhere does it say *anything* like "if a computer is anywhere near his games, you own [sic] him royalties".

Look, they are not going around suing groups of tabletop GURPS players who are sharing a single copy of GURPS 4e, ok? Nor are they suing anyone who is making/maintaining character sheets on a computer.

Sorry that he denied your request to include GURPS for OpenRPG, but neither he not his company was under any obligation to allow you to use their IP, regardless of whether money changed hands.

FWIW, Ogre 6th edition is being worked on, hopefully to come out later this year. http://www.sjgames.com/ogre/products/ogre6e/

Read the whole thing. "Do not confirm or deny it was installed." and "Do not attempt to remove" are not even remotely the same thing as Not "Do not ignore the problem". Further, I would argue that these are not improper actions for the support staff, as the issue was being actively investigated. Improperly removing malware such as this can be very destructive to any OS. By telling their staff not to attempt it, they are preventing further potential problems, both technical and legal. So, while I thank you for pointing the memo out to me, I'm still waiting for proof that they were instructed to ignore the problem, because that memo clearly shows that they were not instructed to ignore it.

"Instructed to ignore?" Provide proof, son, or you're just talkin' out your blowhole. And for the record, I do not work for or with Apple. I just like seeing companies handle issues in a reasonable manner. The only one with an axe to grind here is you.

Right. That's what the majority of people want. Just like they don't want to think about the maintenance of their car. They want it to just work. And like it or not, Apple delivers on that.

Lets see: Apple learns about problem, researches possible fixes, determines best fix, and then releases said fix. No histrionics, no stupid hand flailing. I'm failing to see the problem. Hell, I wish other companies did it this well.
