    You wouldn't steal a CD...

    Ahhh but piracy IS stealing. The creators of IP, be it software, music, movies, games, etc. either put their work in the public domain, or they do not. When their work is in the public domain, then it is not stealing to copy it, share it upload and download it, as the creators of that material...

    You wouldn't steal a CD...

    Piracy is indeed stealing. What is being stolen? Intellectual Property. Music, software, motion pictures etc are the intellectual property of the entitiy that created it. When an individual purchases that IP, they are essentially purchasing a license to use that IP. In the case of music, the...

    x10hosting disclaimer?

    My site is a phpBB forum. phpBB provides a disclaimer statement that goes in the terms and conditions section of both the registration and the forum rules. it looks like this: Does x10hosting have a similar disclaimer that they would like free account members to include?

    Crossfire? Not many heated debates here...

    Thanks for the clarification. It is a yellow card = warning. I'm still learning my way around here and it's good information. As for the point system - from reading old posts in the announcements section, I believe that originally, members could use points to "purchase" things like domain names...

    Time for a Real Debate

    I think that the sub-prime lending practices at the banks were the "setup" for the global recession. The switch that actually started the decline, IMHO, was the speculators investing in the oil market. When gasoline prices were driven up into the $5/gallon range by actions of speculators, people...

    Crossfire? Not many heated debates here...

    I took special care to not mention any mod by name, but now it's out there. I would much rather have simply discussed this with you via PM, instead of on the open forum, however, you have PM's blocked. I was frustrated at receiving a warning and not being able to address it directly with you, so...

    Crossfire? Not many heated debates here...

    I got a warning this weekend for an inadvertent one-liner. Unfortunately, by the time I was warned, the post could no longer be edited. /* Begin Sarcasm section - I feel a need to vent:*/ I learned a valuable lesson: this rule is a "letter of the law" rule, and not a "spirit of the law" rule; a...

    FunWebProducts?

    has anyone else seen this user agent in their log-files? Is this a malicious bot (it acts like a bot)? I see it accessing my forum with multiple IP's from the same block at the same time. and the browser shows up as being AOL(MSIE) or MSN(MSIE). Is it a malicious bot? If it is a malicious...

    Which is best free webmail ?

    W have to go with Gmail as my favorite. I have accounts with yahoo and hotmail too, but gmail is my favorite. I like the interface, I like the large amount of storage, I like the ability to pull in my POP mail, and I like the gmailnotifier app that runs in my systray.

    Global Warming: fact or fiction?

    What data do you have to support that it is a "FACT"? Check out the sources below for the real inconvenient truth about the polar ice caps and Global Warming in general. One reason this information is nowhere nearly as widely distributed as the Chicken-Little Global warming mis-information, is...

    I don't think posting should be mandatory, however, it's the right thing to do. There is enough variety in the forums and topics, that most anyone should be able to find something to comment on. Bare minimum, it wouldn't kill them to simply hit the intro's board and say welcome to a new...

    Why Opera is not So popular being the coolest browser?

    Very good question vishal2. This thread is a discussion on Opera vs. other browsers. The crossfire board is for well though-out discussions - more or less an online debate team competition. Simply saying "Opera is excellent", does not tell me anything about Opera that would make me even...

    Global Warming: fact or fiction?

    OK, you have stated what you think, but for this to be a meaningful discussion, you should explain why. I have given a brief overview as to why I believe that the "Global Warming Crisis" is nothing more than a manufactured crisis to forward the political agendas of those that are for socialism...

    Global Warming: fact or fiction?

    Yes, there are certainly more important things to deal with than Global Warming. As for political agendas that are being promoted by the Global Warming scare tactic, I'd say the biggest is an attempt to hurt capitalism and free-market economies - promoting a socialism and redistribution of...
