FUCK DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT

Much applause to AOL for completely locking out free episodes available for download. Free. But thanks to DRM, these wonderfully free episodes can only be seen through AOL's proprietary Video Player. The .wmv on my hard drive is useless unless I play it through my browser, which renders it choppy and completely unwatchable. And, to make matters worse, the video player is designed so that the DRM license never touches the end user's computer, meaning any removal cracks can't detect it and fix the video file.



I am for copyright law. But I am against fair use paranoia and restriction. Let DRM be buried forever.

I hate Digital Rights Management too. It causes nothing but disaster and harms only the legal users of any media.

Still, you should be able to find what you're trying to watch through some other means, so all is not lost....just some hope in human decency.

DRM is bullshit. Kudos to EMI for releasing their songs on iTunes without DRM.

Fuck all candy suckers. Stupid things do nothing but cut my damn tongue when a hard edge drags across it as I struggle to taste the flavor.

You are crossing what I call the Linkin Park Line, Z.

[ZeaLitY]

It's a difficult pet peeve. Throughout my tenure at work, I had access to suckers. Most of the time, they would cut my tongue, which would smart for the rest of the day. I would be able to taste a little blood for the next hour after the fact. Just now, I tried to eat one last sucker I took with me, and it cut my tongue, which continues to irritate me. This is a declaration of war!

[Kyronea]

Ah, yes, because clearly candy suckers are all out to get you.

I'm sorry, but I just can't help laughing at this. Of course, I have similiar pet peeves, and to be honest I do sympathise, as I hate it when my own tongue is cut, but still...come on, Zeality, just choose some other candy if these suckers keep bugging you like this.

[ZeaLitY]

White Reese's are currency to me. Pay me in them if you need a favor!

[Kyronea]

Oh okay.

I hate those irritatingly frustratingly distracting sirens that always play continuously in some games when your HP is critical. Yes, game, I KNOW! Shut up already!

[Lord J Esq]

Ah, which reminds me: I hate when good background music is interrupted to play the same old battle music for the sixty millionth time.

[Beeyo]

Did anybody play Grandia Xtreme?
Cuz I did, and I hated it. 40 freakin bucks. I hope Grandia Xtreme dies a slow, painful, possibly fiery death.
But I love Candy Suckers.

The porn star, not the candy.

Especially when said battle music is horrible, as in the case of one of the games I was playing that also has that irritating siren, Pokemon Leaf Green. (Shut up, Pokemon haters...I like the games, because they're intricate and quite interesting, even if most of the creatures are ridiculous when taking biology into acocunt.)

The people at my office seem to only want to speak to me within 30 seconds of me putting on my headphones. This vexes me greatly.

[Korro]

People who seem content on bein an ass.

[cupn00dles]

I hate this damn cut in my finger which is still open after three days. Fucking glass shard.
