If you are to stupid to crack your own software then dont steal software and dont bother me!

People are always asking me to copy and crack software. At first it was fun. Then i would give them the site to find cracks. Now i just tell them its against the law.

Well, maybe I'm too nice, but I usually help people if they ask. Not if they're rude off course, but helping doesn't hurt anybody. And about the webdesign...you could easily make people loose interest in it in less than a second, by showing them some html code. It's god damn ugly. But if you help someone, they'll probably help you do some other stuff later. And if you haven't got the time, just say so instead of bitching people about it.

Seriously. No matter WHAT you know, people want you to share your knowledge with them. And it's always the SIMPLEST stuff, that they could learn themselves.

I kept having this conversation a while back:

Dumbass: "Oh, help me with something or other, you're good with that."
Me: No, I'm busy."
Dumbass: "Awww, come on."
*Repeat above two lines five or six times, with increasing irritation on my part*
Me: "Why not just learn it yourself? I did. It's not that friggin' hard."
Dumbass: "But I'm too busy!"
Me: "And I'm not?! I'm not going to help you, I'm busy!"
Dumbass: "Fine, whatever..."

Between three hours later or the next day, I'd send the person a message.
Me:"Hi. Still need help with that? I'm not busy."
Dumbass, (as dickish as possible): "Hmph, NO, I figured it out ON MY OWN."

An hour later, when I'm busy again....Well, you get the picture.
