Guys! I have a question! And what I'm asking is more on the legality of something, so I'm already aware that I'm asking for a free legal advice by not actually going to a lawyer.

Anyway, my question is, is it illegal for me to buy an unlicensed toy (like a third party one)? There's this third party Bumblebee Cyber Era TMT-01 toy from TMT and it looks so good. There isn't any official toy like it, and even if there's one like from Trumpeter, it's way too small to stand next to my other transformers toys (it's roughly 9.2cm). So what do you guys think? Is it illegal for me as the customer to buy one? Or is it only illegal for the third party to produce and sell their products?

real.geizterfahr: I was taking some photos today at the coast when I spotted a pretty impressive yacht. I got curious and checked which yacht it is... It's the 'Rocinante' - which belongs Gabe Newell... Yes, GABE NEWELL!

Guess I'll swim over and have a little chat with him (if he even is on board). Maybe he'll agree to release Half-Life 3 as a GOG exclusive ;)

Even more interesting than the price is the annual maintenance cost of up to 10 million USD, which is surely still lower than the maintenance cost of Steam... still... compared to a average car with a annual maintenance cost of "only" 5 000 to 10 000 USD this ship is simply another dimension.

Many people may not calculate the maintenance costs and as soon as they own a ship... or a car, they start to "realize" the "true costs".

Another fact: I got zero interest in Half Life and barely can understand the hype.

Crap, I meant the latter...I had just gotten up so my mind was a little foggy. I believe some agencies can/do seize such things from citizens sometimes in some places, but you're probably not going to go to jail if you buy a knockoff.

JacobSlatter: Anyone else know what it's like to hold back what's on your mind so much that it starts to hurt? Until you don't feel like a person anymore but like a smiling statue? I have those days sometimes where I want to drop my mental filter and be me. Why is it so hard to do such a simple thing? I don't know.
That's exactly why we have these forums. So let it out, what is on your mind? I want to hear, I don't think it is healthy you have kept it inside yourself for the past three months. My head would explode in that time.

With age I've slowly learned to shut up and not spurt out something that first comes to my mind. Sometimes it (spurting out) has a desired effect on other participants (e.g. laugh), sometimes it just leaves them puzzled like "WTF did that guy just say?". Well I don't know, sometimes the latter may also be the desired effect. But if you wait too long, you can't say it anymore because the moment is lost and you may regret not saying it for the rest of your life!

We don't really have anything, the lizard people wearing mod clothing do.

I sometimes put jelly on my Eggs and Bacon.
I groove to some songs in private then deny I would ever listen to such to family and friends.
I have a low tolerance for assholes. Sometimes that includes some who fall in protected classes.
Some idiotas would see that as some -ist or -ism, but I try not to give many fucks about that.
I often eat ice cream during cold months and hot soup during the warmer months.
I think a number of people use their brains about as much an as RPG NPC.
I sometimes think and act like an NPC.
I've developed a taste for bagels recently. Never liked them much before.

Ah okay, thanks! I'll be ready with my spear in case they come for me. >:)
Any recommendations of MMORPGS on iOS ? I already tried Albion Online, it was fine, but i'd prefer something different.
