on DRM (secuROM specifically)

[vorlon010]

So there's a game I want, but I don't like the idea of it shanking the computer I'll be using to play it. I refer in this instance to Red Alert 3 being packaged with SecuROM, and the fact that when it's released I'll be staying in Portugal for an extended period. Even ignoring the fact that it's likely the computer won't be coming back to the UK

Congrats on the completion of the CIT course. Very proud of you.

Have fun at Silvia's.

thanks. I only specified which degree as there's the likelihood I'll take another at a later date, so I didn't wanna say it was the end of my uni career.

And I hopefully will, there's a lot to try and get sorted while I'm over there. I've mentioned I hate playing amateur therapist, right?

That icon..it always makes me snort..

Well, whether or not it's the end of your University career, it's still an accomplishment dear. More than a lot of other do. Besides you're young, plenty of time for English degrees or anything else you might want.

Yes, yes you have. It's what happens to good listeners I'm afraid. I'm sure everything will be fine and sorted out though.

Maybe I should take a degree in psychological therapy. Make some money out of it, even if it'd still be annoying.

Again, thankyou. If I seem ungracious, it's because I'm 90% asleep ^^;

Personally, if they're going to take DRM to such a level, f'sk 'em.
