ROFL, who does he think he is trying to kid, now trying to claim he supports Apple's copyright protection/DRM, even though he's been lying in defense of illegal hacking Apple for months? His posting history is full of links like these, get a load of this exchange from over a year ago:

"Mac OS X will only run on Macs"

"That'll be hacked about five minutes out of the gate."

. . . get a load of this exchange from over a year ago:

"Mac OS X will only run on Macs"

"That'll be hacked about five minutes out of the gate."

That is more mis-quotation and taken out of context.

Anyone reading your comment, structured the way you have, would make the assumption that Antirepublicrat said both of those things.

The first comment, "Mac OS X will only run on Macs," was a statement in the article from an official Apple Computer spokesman. The second was Antirepublicrat's response to that statement. It was a statement of his opinion ... which proved to be somewhat true as hackers did indeed get a version of OS X running on PCs several weeks later. Only his predicted timing was off. Are you arguing that his prediction is a "lie" or are you taking the position that his opinion of what would happen is somehow a "support" of hackers breaking Apple's protections???

Why are you so obsessed with this?

Prove that statement. I don't ever remember supporting Apple's DRM. The closest I've come is to say that as far as DRM goes, it at least partially recognizes the rights of the people (though by no means completely). That still doesn't mean I support it.
