If it was that easy, MS would have a serious piracy problem with the Xbox.

The thing is, if Micro$oft would just let folks play Xbox in Windows 10, I wouldn't be trying to pirate the system. This frustrated affair has put me into super-pirate mode, however.

Actually, Micro$oft wants folks to play, at least certain titles, in Windows 10, and I don't think the reason is to sell hardware, but rather the content providers. Fine, make it difficult for me and I will seek "Jolly Roger" alternatives.

I grew out of that phase long ago. Is it really worth the time to you, and risk virus infection and the like because of dubious sources?

That is not a valid excuse for theft.

This is an interesting concept in the age of intellectual property (IP) value. However, in the case, I am morally justified as I have rightfully purchased the IP, and I will not be selling the hard copy (or a soft copy) to anyone. And on side note, it is this type of behavior from the distributors of IP that makes its customers just say "the h3ll with it".

Assuming you have legally purchased it, then you have also agreed to the licencing conditions. So no, you are not morally justified.

You purchased a license to play a game, which is very different than purchasing the IP associated with said game.

"occasionally I do butter"

Hi All
Winge mode on. I have spent more time than I like to admit fighting with Python today who on good earth though white spaces should be syntax! OK, I came from a C/Assembly background curly braces win not spaces... It's odd plain odd!  I am going to start using Notepad++ as I at least have a chance of keeping tabs and or spaces in line. I don't like it it might be different if you are introduced from the word go, but I can see People being taught with it being very picky and it making you layout code better but...

Try machine code. The style guide/syntax rules contain only one word: hexadecimal.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Already in 1978 I allowed myself the luxury of a hex keypad and 7 segment LED displays instead of toggle switches and eight simple LEDs.
