  • Question: Scott's always saying that you should only run pirate software sandboxed somehow. I get that. Now, that said, it's trivial to disable online authentication from Adobe and use a generated key to validate a copy of the Master Collection downloaded from their site. So, why not just run the keygen in a VM, and then plug it into a legit copy of the Master Collection on your actual PC?
    OMG, that is possible? And it works? How about one of you guys runs the keygen and generate a bunch of keys. Then send me one of them.
    Okay, there's a vagary here that I need cleared up. Why do we need do get the keygen and run it? Just boot up XP in a VM and do it all yourself, right? That shouldn't expose your system to any risk?

    I don't know where to get the keygen, or which one actually works, or anything. If someone else has already done all that work, the keygen can generate a bunch of keys. Why not one person do it for everybody?

    Astalavista (don't visit that shit without being in a VM) should have a keygen. I'd do it, but I don't have a VM set up or any XP disk images with which to do so on this PC.

    Me either!

    Alright, I'm throwing in with Scott's "someone give us the hookup" camp.

    Scott, if you download the trial and block that in your hosts file, you don't even really need a serial. The trials are full-featured, but have a 30 day limit; mine expired ages ago. I blocked that URL and suddenly I'm back at the start of the 30 day clock. Yeah, there's some irritating splash screens to deal with each day, but you get a couple grand of software free. The nag screens only appear when you open up your first program in the suite for the first time in a given day.

  • Thing is, I also have legit Adobe software (Lightroom) that I paid for. Will blocking the hosts file fuck with that?
  • edited February 2012
    Probably not. It'll just act like you don't have internet access. You can always try it, and then edit the hosts file back to its default settings if it does.

    It'll be fine. When Adobe software (as of CS4, I believe) can't phone home, it just assumes it's legit, which is why the "crack" works in the first place.
  • So, never having owned a Playstation console my whole life, I feel like I missed out on a bunch of pretty classic games that I just never got the chance to play. I'm toying with the idea of getting a cheap PS2 on eBay. Thing is, I really don't want to bother with paying for games if I do this. I know that .iso files for Playstation games are a thing, but I think I've also heard that it requires some kind of hacking. So my question is, how much trouble would it be for me to pirate and play as many PS2 games as I want for free?
  • Im sure you can buy an already modded PS2 the cheap.
  • So is that the way to go? Are there ever any weird issues with playing backed up games?
  • So is that the way to go? Are there ever any weird issues with playing backed up games?
    Not really, as far as I know. Omnu is the one to ask. Your PS2 doesn't need to be modded, just the memory card.

    Corollary: Are memory cards from other regions compatible with US PS2s? If I get a modded card here, I want to use it back in the states.
  • Ok, what you're wanting is FreeMCBoot, go with the nooby pack. If you can find someone with a modded pastries then you just need to have them run the .ELF installer file and it will put FMCBoot, ESR Loader and others on your card. Then just patch your ISOs with ESR patcher and burn. They load up great.

    Now, when you install FMCBoot, you will be given the option of installing just the files for your model or for all models in your region. You cannot, however use it in another region, though it's easy enough to install again.
  • Are there more pony-like pokemon than just Ponyta and Rapidash?

    Does this sound like a good date? Start it by going for a hike in The Tourne (a local nice park), then to my work where we will get an awesome organic juice drink I invented (granny smith apples, cucumber, spinach, ginger, {ginseng, goldenseal, echinacea-these are extracts that you add in with an eyedropper} and turmeric. Then to the really good pan-Asian vegetarian resturant across the street (she is a vegetarian and I am eatting the least amount of meat ever in my whole life), then finally top it off by going to see Chronicle. Ok maybe after the movie go for coffee... But does that sound like a winner winner imitation chicken dinner?

  • Is she crying in happiness or at me being shit?
  • edited February 2012
    I have no idea. Victorian slug ladies are weird like that. Sounds like a good date, though. I would probably be wooed by such a production, were I a vegetarian food loving young lady.

  • Thing is. We are just friends. I don't even want to get in a relationship with her. Just want to stay friends.

    Blitzle and Zebstrika, sometimes people use Girafarig as a pony.

    Eh, it's still a good time.

    While I agree with Churba on that it is still a good time I do have question on this. How often do you do things like this with her? If it is not on a regular basis it could seem like you are trying for more. Also, on the other side of the stick, are you sure that is all she want?
  • We go out on "date" once every month or every two months. And we have talked about it, we just want to be friends but we enjoy the pseudo dateness. We both find it fun to dress up, go out have fun as just friends. I mean I know she wants some sexual healing (she has told me straight up, however I tell her I really like her as a friend and fear the complications that a sexual relationship would bring), but I am just not attracted to her. She would make a perfect girlfriend for me if I was attracted to he physically but it is just not there.
  • Ah, okay, then that sounds awesome, go for it.

    Ok, assuming a lot of this will make more sense when I'm actually doing it, thanks!
  • What is the deal with guys who constantly gnaw on their nails/cuticles? Especially in public. Seriously, do that shit on your own time, it's disgusting in public.

    Fixed that.

  • Usually when I see it, it's guys. I've yet to see a girl do that. Not ruling it out, but from what I've seen it's guys.

    Oh, I agree that it is dominantly guys but I have seen women do it too.
  • I don't see the problem with it. It is not that gross. As long as that person is not serving me food, and washes their hands before I touch their hands it is no big deal.

    I've mostly only seen girls doing it to be honest.

    I've never understood it either. Trim your nails, kids!
