I think all lessons in morality and ethics should henceforth be lectured in Rap form.


Don't smoke

If you started smoking

9 minutes?  After watching the first minute, I decided I wasn't going to waste another 8 watching the rest.  Although I will take the extra minute to comment on it. :P

Sad thing is, I remember most of those games...and I busted out laughing when I saw him in the hunting grounds of Oregon trail  :laugh2:

I am one of the few that still uses floppies. I have a 5.25" drive in my 1.6GHz desktop.

And the computer those kids are using is at least 12 years old. Mac LCs haven't been made in a while

jesus christ...if they just put that at the beginning of all disk copy programs no one would copy them. 

I actually started to feel guilty about the piracy I (haven't) done, but I'm sure that'll go away in a few minutes.

HA HA!

Question about MC dp's treachings...he said that when you buy software, you must purchase 1 copy for every computer you own and want to use that software on...I always thought that you could have a program you buy on as many of your personal computers as you wish, as long as you are only using one copy at a time...does anyone know what the answer is?

What would be great is if after the whole thing is done, the kid says, "Yeah, whatever" and goes ahead and copies the thing anyways. Time to edit that video...

I have an old album where the inside cover has an illegal taping thing. The logo is actually really cool. It's laid out like a skull and crossbones with a cassette tape as the skull.

Here it is... Thought it'd be harder to find than it was.
