The point is paying to good developers for their effort and to support further programming.

Call it as you like, it is not better than cracking or warez, stealing is stealing

I think some (not all!) software dveloper companies are worth supporting not just for being legal and nice but also for your OWN pleasure and happiness. If you support a company by paying for their apps/games, its highly possible they will go on producing even better titles. If you, on the other hand, just steal their software (and a lot of other people do the same), they may just go bankrupt and stop developing.

Should I mention what killed the Commodore Amiga? What happened to MANY quality Pocket PC titles (like BugLord?)

Besides the legality part, and keeping the operator developing more software for you to use... doesn't this kinda break any functionality regarding secure sites which need cookies, or require you to log into them? If your system date's like a day off, or 5 days off, or 20 days off... you won't be checking email with it, and any site which requires cookies may just not WORK.

Besides, there's free alternatives to Opera - like Pocket Internet Explorer. If you don't want to pay for Opera, you can use PIE and browse the same way... and actually have pages WORK for you. Otherwise, I'd suggest buying the new version - it actually fixes some things which didn't work as well in the beta, including an actual exit feature, and assures the buyer that, when the next version comes out with whatever enhancements or bug-fixes that come with it (I'm hoping for 'select all on page' or a page-saving feature), that you can actually get that.

if they didn't want us to steal it,they wouldn't have made it flawed like that. so its their fault. and I only use it to mark unwanted yahoo mail as spam or look at a new background from one of my girls on myspace cuz my desktop ie freezes on that.

Having it uncrippled is a flaw? It's like saying that, just because there's a 14-day money-back guarantee on a product, that if you keep returning it before the guarantee's up, and buy it again only to return it, that it's not dishonest to keep using something in that way... or that, because you could break the window to steal some jewelery, that the shopkeeper there deserves to have items stolen because they didn't lock it in a second shatterproof case bolted to the floor.

Translation: It's your loss if you don't want to pay for the finished, somewhat improved product. Especially if you can't log into certain websites. PocketIE's free and comes with your PocketPC - you may end up having to use that ANYWAYS to get into certain pages, especially if they're cookie-dependant.

It's actually closer to $24 than $30. Although, truth be told, you're starting to sound kinda pathetic... no offense. I mean, if you've got a job, a single $24 purchase isn't going to kill you.

Of course, going further down this path is probably against the rules, but as I said - your loss. The product works well, and with the registration code one's assured of actually getting bug-fixes. To each their own - but I like actually being able to log into sites, so having a PocketPC whose date isn't set to last year to use a product's an advantage for me, especially since I have other things that I keep on it.

You don't have to apologize in here. It is just against aximsite rules talking about how to steal software. If you like doing things like that there are other places.

Say, were you the one having problems with Opera changing your file links? I take it that unchecking 'Associate Opera with HTML files didn't fix things for you, if it was you, or whoever it was?

I hope nobody breaks into your house, through an open flaw (like breaking a window, or kicking down the door) and steals anything of yours..

Sorry didn't meen to say steal... After all if you didn't want it to be taken you wouldn't have doors
