Piracy for Ten Bucks
I've been playing a lot of Civ4 lately, instead of, oh, bettering myself or preparing for RSA. But during the day, my wife plays a lot of Reader Rabbit (usually with a kid around).
Because of this, switching CDs is a major hassle, and I feel like such a moron every time I think about this -- I'm a security dork who doesn't have the wherewithall to just edit out the check-the-CD bits on my Civ4 executable. At the end of the day, I'm a network guy, not an internals guy. Oh well.
But now I can pay these guys ten bucks to automate the process for me. How neato. Not that I will, because that would violate my EULA I imagine, and I'm a good person. But it's nice to know it's there, and it's certainly a lot easier than the alternative -- actually working at it.
