You have no morals! Real backgammon players consider themselves honest
gentleman and ladies. What you are trying to do is akin to being a
dropper!If the code works, I would hope that the honest players out
there give Fredrik his due.

It is people like you that will eventually put a stop to all
shareware; instead making us by versions of programs without being
able to try them.

I take it you are proud of yourself.....as only a thief could be.

This idiot is certifiable. Doesn't he/she realize that the
author/seller of this software can easily track him from the
information given here? Personally, I hope they sue his/her butt!

1) The nag screens that show up when you start the program or roll 66
disappear.
2) You get the Users Manual in the mail.
3) You support further development of JF.

Of course, only 1) applies if you use a crack code.

It is possible that the person, while well-meaning, was either careless
about checking their post or ignorant as to how to use their newsreader.
Many people have no idea how to edit quoted material, or don't even
realize that they can do so. (Sad but true.)

One thing is for sure, the person that reposted the rebuttle with the
crack in the message is just as guilty, whether the good intention
was there or not, you are still ignorant.
Secondly, Cracked and redistributed software is nothing new, IN
FACT!!! Microsoft credits the success of their company and Windows to
the redistributers of Windows 3.1. They said without them they would
not be where they are today which is on top of the industry.
Therefore, The man who created the Jellyfish.... Just think, with all
of this commotion over your program, it must be popular, it must be
good, otherwise who would give a rat ass. Pardon my French.
I never tried it, I'm sure I would like it though, Congratulations
goes out to the programmer on creating a good one.
As for the cracker, or actually probably not the cracker but
someone who happened by it, and reposted, You shouldn't worry.
Or really care, these people in this group are under the impression
that you can get it BIG trouble for doing that, (knock Knock it's the
POLICE!! ) Yeah right. They could care less about you, trust me.
They only want the big boys, and if the author decides to press
charges, 1. He has to find you. Takes time and time is money
2. File the charges, more red tape
3. win the case
4. Pay the lawyer
Who wins ? Oh yeah while he went to file charges 1000 more people
reposted that same crack to every newsgroup in the world.
Hmmm, what to do , Nothing.
Ya just can't win.

So you people crying about morals, hypocrites!
I want YOU to look in the mirror and say " Man am I perfect. I have no
bad habits, I never cheat, speed, swear, envy, lie.I am perfect in
every way. " If you can say that then respond, I have to meet you.

P.S. No need to email. Its not my real address.

It absolutely amazes me that people will take the time to compose a
message and type it out, chiding a poster who lets the crack be known,
and then in their own ignorance; keep and repost the crack
themselves!!!

This is not rocket science here people. It is very easy to delete
parts of a post. Just highlight ( you can do this by dragging your
cursor from right to left over the line and then hit the button on the
keyboard called delete......for as many lines as necessary) An easier
way is to hold the leftmouse button click, hold it and drag the cursor
down the right hand side of the message untill all the lines you wish
to remove and highlighted. You then look for the delete key on your
keyboard and push it!

really I know you have good intentions, but you are doing more harm
then good, by reposting the code over and over.

The beatings shall continue untill morale improves :)

The programmer has already stated that he is looking into the matter.
I for one can't speak for what he will or will not do. Unfortunately

Talk about small minds, you think simply because you admonish someone for
what they do, it is going to stop or even more so, that they care what you
think??? Wake up? They (we) don't. It's a new age where people are getting
what they want and doing it for free. Just look at all the sites on the web
where programs in their entirety can be downloaded. Why pay when you can
get something for nothing? If it makes you feel better to shell out the
money, than do so. I would like to know just how many people who subscribe
to this nesgroup actually used the crack? I am sure that many did. Check
your newsgroups as there are many sites devoted to nothing but providing
cracks to those who request them and judging by the popularity of such
sites, thousands are taking advantage of this "free" information.

You must be drunk, hence the name, "Beergut". I can only imagine what you
must look like and I am sure it is not a pretty site. Reread the posters
comments and hopefully reevaluate your position. He was speaking in general
terms, idiot.

Oh, I am sure that the person who posted is scared to death!!!!!!! Get
sober. That same crack is posted to many newsgroups. I have seen it at
least in three and there are many more. I am sure that Frank is not going
to starve as long as there are people like you willing to fork out hundreds
of dollars for this program. Anyways, the crack only eliminates the nag
screen. I wish it was that easy to get rid of self-righteous drunks like
you. That is something I would certainly pay for.

Why shouldn't they? Judging by the two posts, it is not to hard to
determine who has brains and who just has a fat beer-gut!! I know who I
would trust.

Well, you better wake up. You are dealing with the Internet and honesty
and integrity is something you may never find. People aren't born this
way--society makes them that way.

Come on, be "honest". You're just mad that you had to shell out a lot of
money for a program that you could have got for free, if you just knew
where to look. Wouldn't that be the cat's meow, if someone decided to post
the URL to such a site and believe me, they exist.

Yes, once I read your post, it was not hard at all to determine that you
are not perfect and somehow I suspect you may never be.

Spoken like a true kid. Let's equate your theory to the real world,
not just you mom and dad's house, ok. Let's assume that when you grow
up , you want to make an income. There are a few ways to accomplish
this 1) work 2) steal 3) go on welfare.

now 1) entails putting out something your work,for which you are
payed. I can surmise from your post that this is not the way of the
new order, as "we" want something for nothing.

that leaves you 2)....or 3).......and such a big decision you will
have to make when you grow up.

I did not pay for the registration of JF.shareware. I have a previous
program of JF that I use, although I may update it now. It is not that
I enjoy paying money to feel better; I happen to think my integrity is
worth more then $30 bucks.
As for how many people from this newsgroup used the crack, I can not
answer that. I can however assume with a degree of certainty that you
did. If getting rid of a 30 second wait, and the odd nag screen is
worth your integrity, then so be it.
You in your youthfull wisdom, and "your" new order, fail to see the
bigger picture. The abuse of shareware, will eventually lead to it's
demise. I for one do not want this to happen. Obviously, you care only
about you!

Ahh when all else, such as logic, fails resort to name calling. I am

You....pay for anything, nonesense. You want it all for freeeeeee
remember!
Just for the record, I do not belong to any church, and I don't
consider myself a drunk. I have had that nick for over 20 years. It
comes from my days of being a union president. Someday you will also
be old enough to drink, using your own ID. For now be happy playing in
the sandbox. If ya ask nice I may show you how the dumptruck works!!

Yeah, now with THAT said maybe we can ALL abandon this thread and talk
about BACKGAMMON. That IS the subject of this newsgroup I think.

It is not a matter of caring. It's simply challenging your post. You're
not fooling anyone, at least not me. I am sure that initially you thought
you would come on and be the big newsgroup savior, say the things others
might be thinking but for whatever reason, will not post. Now everyone
subscribes to your antiquated way of thinking, and I hope I have made that
more than obvious.

A little presumptuous aren't we??

Let's equate your theory to the real world,

This is the real world. Wake up! The things you promote, at least on the
Internet, are non-existent. Where have you been?? Oh I forgot, playing
Backgammon...

Again, a rather stupid/ridiculous response, but I'll play your game and
will continue to each and every time you post.

Watching too much WCW are we?? Talk about a "new order"? What you describe
as stealing has been around since the beginning of time. Nothing new about
that, except maybe for your realization of it, if that is possible.

When I grow up?? Again you assume too much. You are an obvious example
that just because a person physically "grows up", that they certainly may
not "grow up" mentally.

I'm sure that a lot of people did not pay, not just you, but maybe not for
the same reasons.

I have a previous

To thyne own self be true. Do what makes you happy. May I assume that when
you buy a car, do you ever try to get it cheaper or do you always pay what
they want as not to compromise your alleged integrity?? Maybe your
integrity is worth more than $30, but at what price does it cease to be so
important? Let's see, how much does the analyzer version cost...

No, as a matter of fact, I have not. 30 seconds means nothing to me as
well. However, if others want to use it, so be it. I am not going to try
and dictate what others do becuase I am smart enough to know that it will
do no good and more importantly, who am I to try and do it in the first
place anyways?

First of all, please do not mention this "new order" as I have not made
any reference to it. There is nothing new about what is happening here.
Again, you make mention of warez sites and I made mention of newsgroups
with similar objectives. By no means are they new as they have been around
for so long and again, judging by their popularity, they just aren't going
away. Sorry.

The abuse of shareware, will eventually lead to it's
>demise. I for one do not want this to happen. Obviously, you care only

I can not speak for everyone as I am not a seer like you. However, I know
that for someone who may come out with a program and everyone screws around
with it, that could influence the guy's decision to develope that futher or
develope any new programs. I know this, but I really do not think it will
affect anything as when he leaves, there is always someone in the wings,
waiting. Apprently Jellyfish is extremely popular. I do not think the
creator will let the fact that someone who no longer has a nag screen
influence his decision to upgrade his program. Take yourself for example,
you said you have not spent the $29 to register the shareware version. I
think most people will not. Yet there are two other versions that are
selling, and probably selling well. I don't think what happens with one
will affect the other as the implimentation of the crack does not upgrade
one version to the next one. It just gets rid of the "nag". I would say
something but will refrain for fear of again being labeled a kid.

Maybe your name should be Wizard, but a much different kind. See the way
you think. I "think" it is you is much more likely to burn a cross. Look at
how unwelcome you have made me feel. the above comment is very racist of
you and indicitive of the type of beer-guzzling, in-denial, loser you
really are.

No, you did not have to explain it to me. It is just a matter of
priorities, of which none include a visit to your web site. What could you
offer me except maybe a variation of MAPQUEST, only the directions your
version would provide would be to the nearest party store....

I guess the wizard says it all.
Being a programmer myself, I understand the risks involved with
producing a program a setting it free over the internet. I know that
someone will crack the password, distribute it, or do whatever.
But I still do it hoping that someone will register it. It does
happen. I register programs that I enjoy I will use. So all of this
name calling and bashing is pointless. Granted what the previous
person did was in bad taste in a group obviously not meant for that
type of post. And what Beergut did by lashing out and start calling
names in a last ditch effort to make his point heard is childish.
Trying to defend yourself and your integrity by telling us useless
information about yourself is pointless, we all got to see what type
of person you really are.
BTW, do you get this upset when you lose?

Ok - I made a mistake!!! - Off cause I should have deleted the crack-code
before re-posting!!!
I apologize for any harm or damage happened by this.

BUT: I'm even more sad to learn that I obviously belongs to a minority
when it comes to decent behavior in writing, attitude, honesty and so on.

Be sure that my re-posting was coming from my hart, with the intention of
bringing focus on a more decent behavior. - Even more sad was it for me to
discover that several members of this news group disagree with my stands
and even accused me for being a stupid ignorant and so on.

If it's true that the common views is pro hacking, cracking, stealing and
insulting - THEN THE COMMON VIEW HAS TO CHANGE - not my views.

I refrain to comment on further insultments on this object - And I still
believe that decent behavior makes a far more pleasant environment.

Kind regards 'bamsefar' on FIBS

First let me congratulate you Wizard on a well thought out post. Your
attitude is much different from your previous post, that is
refreshing. I respond in kind to posts. immature, namecalling posts
such as your previous one gets answered the same way, and thus a flame
war is on. This post on the other hand, for the most part, shows
intelligence.

As much as I would like to continue this, we are in a newsgroup that
does not really support this kind of forum, and as has been stated by
someone, lets get back to BG.

I can boil this argument down to it's simplistic form. I believe
cracking and the distribution of such is wrong.
You believe as stated in your first post, why pay for something, when
you can get it for free.

This is a fundamental difference that no amount of discussion will
resolve, so further argument is pointless.

I shall now snip your post to save bandwith and for no other reason as
I enjoyed it.

Nope, debating, like BG, is after all only a game. Winning or losing a

This is a bunch of hokum. Windows 3.1 and 95 are OPERATING SYSTEMS.
They are interfaces for other programs and therefore, if widespread,
yes, that will help to standardize the product and possibly generate
more sales in the long run, both of the operating system software
and of software that runs in the operating system. But Jellyfish
is a stand-alone program, not an operating system. Therefore,
if pirated, its profitability will only decrease. You are comparing
apples and oranges here.

I wish you had not posted that. You have come across being sincere and
honest, and maybe even likable. Now I feel like bad for the name-calling,
which yes, might indicate a "child-like" approach.

You have valid points to your post and in life I do not approach things
with the intent of getting them free. I guess when you pay for everything,
the lure of something free is appealing. I would hate to think that is
human nature, but indications are that it is.

I assume that you were not offended by the name calling and that is good
as it wasn't meant to hurt.

Hopefully our exchanges in the future can be more friendly and having said
that, let's end this thread and get back to the main focus of this board,
something we all love-Backgammon!

Here's one definiton:

Windows95: <win-doz-nin-te-fiv> n.
32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an
8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit
microprocessor,
written by a 2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of
competition.

Hmmm...thinking caps on...could it be that Microsoft sold Windows
for $150 in order to make some dough? Aside from that, we were
exploring the potential upside of the problem of operating system
piracy.
