Re: Hacker cracks hi-def DVD encryption
That's preposterous. It was made to prevent me from encoding a copy to play on my portable, as well as play the copy I bought. It was made to restrict the hardware and software I use to play it on.
Above all, it was made to put an unhealthy amount of control in the hands of the content creators. It was made to be a pain in the ass.
I'm glad it's gone.
It also stops open source OS's and programs like Linux from being able to play HD-DVD's. |

Plus, no one uses linux anyway, so who cares if they can play it or not?

Why would he need a translator? The statements stand on their own. However, it should be pretty obvious that statements in written form don't always carry the same irony or sarcasm that the same statement, if spoken, would convey. After all, that's why there are smileys. I may be wrong but I will stand by my interpretation just as I'm sure you will stand by yours; not that it is of any great importance in the grand scheme of things.

It's Thasp, nothing he says is serious.
Besides, everyone knows Linux is for ninjas and german people (possibly swedish too).

I couldn't agree more.
I will add that I have no issue with you voicing your opinion, and didn't intend to come off as contentious in your regard.

You contest the person who says I wasn't being serious(which, I wasn't being), but your nick is antiserious. Am I the only one who found humor in this irony?
said by antiserious :said by thender2 :Linux is for terrorists and pirates. Plus, no one uses linux anyway, so who cares if they can play it or not? And the moon is made out of green cheese. Seriously, thanks for the chuckle. Maybe, next Christmas, you'll get a clue. That was sarcasm, and yes, I was being facetious. I have an odd sense of humor, I was hoping people would see my cynicism for how the ignorant men and women behind mainstream copy protection and DRM schemes think. Yes, I didn't include a smiley, but I figured the statement was ridiculous enough to stand on its own, and imply that it wasn't serious without extra help.
Who cares if our stuff doesn't work there? That demographic is small in sales anyway, so we can just step on them. Who cares if they may actually want to use our service? There's no reason not to use windows.
This post, as well as my last one, was also 100-150% sarcastic. For future reference, Insder is allowed to act as my translator in the case that someone severely misinterprets my sense of humor, until I am around to correct it.

| Just in case none of you picked up on it, the swedish and germans in addition to Americans (like myself) use Linux, and I'm sure ninjas and non-ninjas alike use it. (I'm not a ninja, so the exception is right here). This is just in case nobody got my sarcasm in addition to Thasp's.
