I can't afford a Ferrari. Maybe I'll steal one and drive it around until I can afford to buy one... :hyper:

A strange thing to say from A professor
I read it as “test it and try it (the demo)...” It does not imply to take the risk of virus infected cracks...

for 'professor', its pretty much more typical of 'recent graduate doing part time teaching in a community college'.

actual lecturers (since titled professors pretty much avoid teaching as a matter of principle) at a uni or poly would get hauled over the coals for that sort of comment; they'd actually be jeopardising the place's access to legitimate education site licenses.

In the US, professor isn't always a title conferred by the university on only the most senior staff members as it is in most countries. It can even be a non-graduate in the case of people considered to have enough real world experience to teach a class offered by the college.

It's a title given out much more freely in the US, and maybe in other countries too.

Well you cant expect anything less from the US. Everything is backwards there. You actually need a degree to be called a professor. Do students actually learn something in the US? Doubtful.

Although i get what you mean, the analogy isn't right.

The threshold for piracy online is SO FREAKIN low, compared to almost all other forms of theft. I don't get why people would steal a car. I get why people would download a software solution (to try for instance, or just for their own (non-professional) usage).

I don't use pirated software at all and i don't talk it right, but i can see why one would use such software

you dont get why someone would steal a car?

A friend of mine (ex squaddie),got hammered at a wedding doo, ordered a taxi then when it came, threw the driver out, got in and drove home. When he woke up in the morning and went into the kitchen for a drink, he realised there was a taxi parked on his drive :dog: .
Sorry but all this talk of stealing, cars and taxis just reminded me of what a dick my mate is.
Anyway, as you were...

Lol true but it's out there and with pirated software you will have to go through all the trouble setting it up to work properly which I think is a waste of time to to do this every time a new revision comes out...
