The way I look at it If a starving man steals bread to feed his family, it's not a crime.

It is if he puts anything on it. Jam, for instance.

So if I download ROMS but don't put jam on them it's OK?

Does it make a difference if its jam or jelly?

The main difference when comparing a Coke to a CD are the distribution costs. A case of coke is this big by this big and holds maybe 24-30 cans. Take the same cubic dimensions for a box full of CD's and you would get 300-400 for the same space and weight.

There are many examples where distribution is more expensive than manufacturing, packaging or cost of raw product. Coke is expensive to distribute and it has to be refrigerated before being consumed.

CD's are expensive because we are being anally slammed, that is all there is to it.

It's a pop culture reference. Figured SOMEONE would get it...

There was another culture reference that wasn't quite "got"

.

Cuz coke habits are expensive.

I don't think RayB meant soda pop...

When you buy a Coke, do you think you're only buying the liquid inside?

hyiu · « **Reply #87 on:** December 11, 2005, 02:22:38 pm »

My answer is just a simple "NO"...
no need to put any reasons behind it either...
A no is good enough for me.

I think this really boils down to whether or not you prefer Pepsi or Coke. I personally prefer Pepsi.

Remember when they used to do the Pepsi challenge? I was in a mall once and took the challenge, and of course, chose Pepsi...

On a separate note - I can't believe I had to actually explain what a "Pepper" is: I was talking to someone a little bit younger than me and made a reference to being a Pepper too, and he totally didn't know what I was talking about. He did see American Werewolf in London, so he knew who the guy was though...

Note to self: start lining up retirement homes...

RayB · « **Reply #89 on:** December 12, 2005, 04:48:38 pm »

What the hell is a Pepper?

Zakk · « **Reply #90 on:** December 12, 2005, 05:13:29 pm »

I'm a pepper...

markrvp · « **Reply #91 on:** December 12, 2005, 06:08:35 pm »

Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?

a lot of those old cds sound like ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, too....horrible mixing..

Now they come out with remixed cds...and we are supposed to pay again for the same cds that just sound better...now THAT is bs..

when you buy a pc game and something is corrected, you just download the patch...they don't make you buy the whole game again..

Blame Bones. If he hadn't shown us this link, it wouldn't have been brought back up

The way I look at it If a starving man steals bread to feed his family, it's not a crime. Well I am starving for classic games 4,000 of them.

That's gotta be the funniest rationalization I've seen around these parts

Quote from: markrvp on December 09, 2005, 02:22:08 pm

I don't feel so much like a criminal - more of an outlaw. Outlaws are way more cool than criminals

I think Hulkster said it best. I wanna be a pirate because they get to say "booty" a lot.

I think Ahigh's comments in this thread may have been frowned upon by his employer due to him stating he acted illegally in developing a product *his words* Isn't that just hilarious?

If its a "penny for your thoughts", but all I wanted was to "put in my 2 cents", who's making the extra penny? $:-\$

Is that a christopher walken line? For some reason I can hear him saying it in my head

You forgot the part where he says he needs more cowbell, and then stabs someone in the face with a soldering iron.

When you play Mame and run a game that includes a ROM that you didn't pay for, how do you feel about it?
