Process Tamer and Translator BoomerangI heard about you from ShellX City, your Find and Run Robot I believe. Process Tamer has become my favorite though. It's pretty much perfect as is. Your site has made it onto my daily surfing list and I'm always thrilled to find you guys have released a new toy. Really that is why I decided to donate - you make this compulsive tooler happy. I really like your business model; it's very very cool of you to take this approach and I appreciate that by supporting you I'm also helping out other folks who cannot afford to donate to your most worthy cause...one more thing: you've really helped out my network's users by releasing the [Google Translator] Boomerang - responses from support are much more amusing..

The Root of Software Piracy: A Game Developer Asks Why?A game developer takes on a novel idea to "combat" game piracy: instead of resorting to the usual DRM and prosecution of the offenders, he ask them why they're doing it. The answers seem to be the usual, and AFAIK most of them have been mentioned here when discussing software piracy, but still the article makes a nice analysis on the current state of videogaming regarding the piracy matter, and the blog post is an interesting read. Also, I wonder what conclusions Mr. Harris will extract from the comments and the mails. http://arstechnica.c...-and-ill-change.html Note that the discussion is mostly centered about PC gaming, as the current generation of consoles does not suffer from the rampant piracy present in the last two generations, due to various reasons (expensive blank media and duplicators, locked-down systems, etc.). And the blog is getting hammered as well. |
