I would be surprised if they didn't. They must see where the tide is turning.

Anything I would actually buy if I couldn't pirate it.

When you're playing an MMORPG you're not using the web, but you're using the Internet. The Internet is like the postal service relaying stuff, but the stuff can be of different kinds.

Classic mistake. You weren't rich enough.

Not that I agree with the morality of what Nintendo is doing but their claim is that the emulator can't be used for anything meaningful besides piracy, whereas electricity is a general service that has lots of varying uses.

The people who can decide whether to throw you off the plane are telling you that you have to put it in airplane mode. Seems fucked up that they would be basing that on a myth, but regardless, I want to stay on the plane.

I sure as hell hope that my deleted posts aren't part of that data.

I can't understand how investors would fall for this. For the sake of humanity and my own mental health I hope they don't. But I have a suspicion they will, and it goes to shows how fucked up the world is.

Since their brand is on it, yeah. I would expect that if the company wants my business, they wouldn't put their name on shit quality products. Especially if it can lead to their would-be customers losing data. It kind of baffles me that they think this is a good way to impress me.
