I like it, and it works on JU (contrary to the disclaimer's warning). I keep IE Tab handy if I ever need to have IE compatibility. I hated IE 7. I prefered IE 6.

I don't mind on which platform, I mind the amount of DRM on it. I wish I could use my games on any computer, without having to call customer support or use up my three installs.

Reply to Intolerance of Conscience? in Current Events Stardock Forums

The problem is that man no longer listens to God's Law. Instead of interpreting God's Law, we have had to write our own, and interpret it. Therefore, we now have many laws contradictory to the Law of God.

I've always wanted them to be required to post their nutrition information. When I'm at the restaraunt, I never can find the nutrition information when I'm contemplating [insert exotic dish here]. Heck, I'm lucky to figure out the ingredients. Granted, I don't eat well enough. I take a diet based more on how, rather than what I eat, and it works for me. (With no exercise, either, mind you)

[quote]'Then you are more competent in your use of the English language than me.'[/quote] On the contrary, if I hold an opinion that changes the meaning of certain words in my brain, it does not mean that I am any less competent in the use of the English language. Also, my knowledge of Latin gives me a background knowledge for the meaning of root words.

[quote]But the law of G od is to obay any and all laws. Going against the 'ordinance of man' is itself going against the law of G od.[/quote] On the contrary. The Law of God is the Law of God. The Law of God tells us to obey the laws of man, except where the laws of man violate the Law of God.

Yes, but you are allowed to use a book anywhere. Yes, books may have terms to restrict their use, but not overly restrictive. What I don't like is when games lock you into a specific multiplayer network, a specific configuration, and other small, relatively annoying things just to keep profits high.

[quote]Nowhere does it state that the point of a debate is to solve anything. The point of a debate is to express the different points of view of a specific topic or issue. One debates to express ones point of view and to listen to other peoples point of view allowing oneself to analyze you ones views and make changes accordingly if necessary.[/quote] Then you are less aggresive in your debating than me.

When you buy a disk, who owns it? Is it you, the consumer, who paid the money, or is it the company whose software is on the disk? Do you have the rights to use of the software, in exchange for its purchase, or is it an area where the software you paid for is still the company's, therefore you paid good money for the disk and a limited usage? When you buy a book, who owns it? You, the consumer, who paid the money, not the company who s

This is why I go for single-player or limited multiplayer games. I don't mind cheaters if they're not too obvious. I don't compare my character with everyone else's. But no major cheats, else I get mad.

People can only be condemned or convicted if they are found committing a crime and proven guilty.
