The world's a tough place. It doesn't play by our rules. As a matter of fact it doesn't even care what our rules are. It's a shame, but it's true. You're plenty useful around here and there are others not welcome there who are first citizens here. You're in good company.

But the damn thing won't work with modern computers and modern software (i.e. windows7).
I still think it is crappy of Ubisoft to screw those who bought the original ($45) copy while greasing the skids for those who buy the $10 one.
I can't understand why it is OK in Germany to use the noCD crack, but not here (in the USA). Who won the war anyway?
As an aside:

Some people think the phrase "British Humor" is an oxymoron anyway.
