Wow, what a bunch of assholes.
"We made this hardware ... and you can't use it."

I don't even see how charging for a custom driver is illegal ... you're not stealing any code or anything like that ... (unless you use their existing drivers and build on top of that) ... but most of the time, in a lot of areas, you have to write your own drivers.

Absolutely ridiculous. First Creative patents known game design enhancements (they didn't come up with them, they just see they aren't patented, since they're in open domain to be used by everyone) now they don't want people to actually use their hardware.

They basically said that so they could push a new line of Vista capable cards that have no hardware differences besides new drivers, I bet.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

And thus my clarification.


I was referring to recent RIAA labeled music.

Obviously there is nothing that makes other things unpiratable


Signature? What signature!?

And here's another one: Assasin's Creed goes Steam, refuses to take dirty, European money.

God, its nigh impossible to catch up on months of posts/replies.

You all know my views on borrowing. I still intend to have an online "Orpheus Public Library" of audiobooks...
