So... your problem is that users don't write QA-class bug reports? They're not expected to, so even if you think he's an idiot, it's still not really a WTF.

RE: How do you sell software? By fucking your legitimate buyers...

Everyone is doing this, because it is easy even if it isnt right. If you wamted to play every new game, you can't. Sometimes games aren't available here where elsewhere is available. (...) Here PS3 is around 550€. And it is a little more than a whole pay. If I would be without bills and food (which isn't possible) I could easily afford those new games.
Did you even read what morbs said? Here, I'll help you:

(...) you are stealing and justifying it because you want the stuff without having to pay for it. That's how toddlers rationalize stealing, not mature adults. Seriously, if you take copyrighted content, you are stealing. Just live with it and stop trying to justify it.

Boosting a car? "It is hard to buy Mercedes if you have minimum pay from job." Snatching purses off old ladies? "It is hard to drink Korbel with minimum pay from job, unless I steal money too."
Blocking ads? "It's not like I can afford this stuff with my minimum pay job, you know?"

I have mostly pirated games. I don't buy games because:
- I am a freeloading bastard, and I can get away with it.
Oh come on, really, there are demos, there are reviews and protections don't actually break drives nowadays.

RE: How to find the smallest number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers from 1 to 20
Out of curiosity, would you accept a pen and paper solution by hand? That's how I solved it way back.

As text it is compatible to both kind of browser.
Seriously, stop being an idiot. Or if that's not possible, just shut the fuck up.
The fact that he has bugmenot (A site with accounts for people too lazy to register on sites.) in his username says a lot here, I guess.

What are people's opinions on what the software industry should do to curb pirating?
The way I see it, if something is popular, it will get pirated, period. So a small line of defence warding off the laziest crackers and not fucking around with the users is the most you can do. If you go any further, you're just effectively being an ass to your users. -

I'm not in love with DRM by any means, but I think people are going way too far here. So you can only install 3 times without calling EA support? Most people aren't going to be inconvenienced by it. Who really gives a shitt?
So you don't have any problem with DRM effectively punishing a small part of the legitimate user base?You might not mind calling people after 3 installs, but I would. It's a pain, and it's not at all future-proof.

RE: Is blocking ads from websites immoral?
@Alex Papadimoulis said:
(...) the reality is, you just want the damn free samples 'cause you're a free-sample abusing bastard. You know you shouldn't, and you know that if everyone did it, the whole system would collapse, but as a bastard, you simply don't care.
Actually... yeah. I don't like advertising, so I block it.
