[*]PunkBuster does not like fixed .exes
[*]No CD patches carry the risk of infection by trojans
[*]One has to wait for the no CD patch to be updated whenever a patch for the game is released
 
Got it. Will the current version of Alcohol 52% work with the current version of Starforce, or is Starforce still ahead?

Alc will work with it, starforce is some pretty nasty stuff.
 
Its always been trivial to mount an ISO image in Linux.
# mount myiso.iso /mnt/iso/ -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0

That's how my cousin watches the Netflix he returns before he's had a chance to see them. Probably a violation of the DMCA, but he deletes the images after he watches them. I don't know why he just doesn't use vobcopy. What I really don't know is why he bothers watching Hollywood movies in the first place.

There is a bit of a learning curve for Linux, but its scary powerful, oh yah, and free. But a word of warning, unlike the culture of piracy that seems to pervade the Windows world, after using open source software for a few years the idea of stealing someone's IP becomes almost physically repulsive for most people.
 
i really dont need to use alcohol to burn anything, but i use them for mounting images.

I installed it under Server 03, and nothing shows up there, either. No entry in Add/Remove Prg. for Alcohol or toolbars. I don't see any toolbar in FF2 or IE7. What gives?

It looks like the toolbar only gets installed on XP Home & Pro.

and is easily removed via add/remove programs with no lingering effects🙂

(at least that I can detect)

It's funny that you say that right after saying he rips DVDs. That's like saying I pirate programs, but I close them when I'm done using them. I don't think it has anything to do with the culture of linux and/or Windows.

I do agree that most movies out of Hollywood suck these days though.
