[–]irrelevantPseudonym 5 points6 points ago

Your work?

[–]GiPes[S] 16 points17 points ago

Nope, just sometimes, some peoples have some problems with direct links. So I linked the image and the site separately.

[–]aJackztheRipper 6 points7 points ago

From the sidebar.

Rehosted webcomics will be removed. Please submit a link to the original comic's site and preferably an imgur link in the comments.

[–]gluestick300 8 points9 points ago

The sad truth is if someone did that no one would ever pay attention to the comic

[–]Pointy130 2 points3 points ago

I dunno, Pidjin comics get to the front page all the time from direct links, and they're not even funny.

[–]Liar142 2 points3 points ago

If I follow the rules I won't get enough attention.

[–]GuitarFreak027[M] 3 points4 points ago

Yep. Removed.

[–]GiPes[S] 0 points1 point ago

My bad, I gave a quick glance at the rules before posting, but I stopped reading after the "No eCards...". It won't happen again, officer.

[–]Themiffins 1 point2 points ago

I'm not all computer literate, but couldn't linking directly to the artists site first, couldn't that overload the server it's on?

[–]aJackztheRipper 1 point2 points ago

That's where the imgur link in the comments would come in.

The point is to drive a majority of the traffic to the person who created the content.

[–]okaythisisit 1 point2 points ago

Or sometimes they're posted with direct links, but ignored.. appropriately.

[–]randyrules 128 points129 points ago

HA! I use 7-Zip!

[–]1leggeddog 73 points74 points ago

Purgatory.

[–]0bsesshun 22 points23 points ago

But what of the non-users that don't believe in a higher data compressing power?

[–]caprincrash 25 points26 points ago

There is a special circle of hell for people like you.

[–]Xdivine 18 points19 points ago

It's not the buffering circle is it?

[–]0bsesshun 7 points8 points ago

Oh, god. NOOOOO!

unsubs from r/antiwinrar, buys it

[–]weewolf 1 point2 points ago

LMZA2 on large log files, ohgodbaby.

[–]sturmey 10 points11 points ago

7-zip is awesome.

[–]jersully -1 points0 points ago

It's beyond awesome.

When I took my current job they were struggling with corrupt ZIPs. No more! Your DOS utility can't deal with +4GB files? It ain't no thang. Higher compression is a bonus.

We're a small company but we use the crap out of WinSCP and 7-Zip. How do I sell my bosses on sending those guys money?

[–]cheesinator 1 point2 points ago

7-zip was the first software I used to unzip files, and my friend downloaded Winrar to update minecraft one day. My computer won't let me uninstall it for some reason and it always opens Winrar automatically now. First world problems here.

[–]weewolf 1 point2 points ago

Left click on your desktop, hit F1, type in default programs.

[–]cheesinator 1 point2 points ago

I went to where it asks you what kind of files you want associated with Winrar and I couldn't uncheck any of the boxes specifying which one. Also for some reason 7-zip isn't listed in my programs list.

[–]weewolf 0 points1 point ago

That's odd. Another approach you can try is to open 7-zip, go to Tools, Options, System, and you should be able to set your default files there. Just make sure you run 7-zip as an administrator or it wont be able to change the settings.

[–]jersully 1 point2 points ago

Open 7-zip. Tools->Options. Make it default?

[–]cheesinator 1 point2 points ago

Didn't work. It also has those boxes checked for Winrar and it won't let me uncheck them for Winrar

[–]FuryOnSc2 1 point2 points ago

Serious answer, right click the file > properties > under general should be opens with, hit change.

Works with any type of file.

[–]galient5 1 point2 points ago

he downloaded it from an unofficial site. Get that shit off as soon as possible and re install the version from rarlab.

[–]cheesinator 1 point2 points ago

I ran a scan on it and it's perfectly fine.

[–]galient5 1 point2 points ago

That's weird, it shouldn't be doing what it is doing.

[–]cheesinator 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, but it's no big deal. I can always just find the file in 7zip directly.

[–]thelonelygod 1 point2 points ago

Easy solution. Just reformat everything.

[–]cheesinator 1 point2 points ago

I can't figure out how to do it still. I've tried switching default from 'Winrar' to '7zip' and it won't show up in the folder that it's in when I try to find it to clarify.

[–]fufdoofGOG 1 point2 points ago

7-Zip buddies unite!

[–]just_wrong 2 points3 points ago

Unrar for the win.

Who needs a GUI?

[–]1leggeddog 5 points6 points ago

Those who need one made in VB to track down IP adresses duh.

[–]morlakai 3 points4 points ago

Don't worry ill just use visual basic to create a GUI interface

[–]randyrules 1 point2 points ago

I didn't use computers much until a few years ago.

[–]FatCatFart 2 points3 points ago

god damn it randy

[–]randyrules 1 point2 points ago

Well, now that we're discussing usernames, Mr. FatCatFart.....

[–]WendyLRogers3 0 points1 point ago

Software of the devil.

[–]hurdur1 22 points23 points ago

The only other guy in heaven is the inventor of WinRAR.

[–]GiPes[S] 34 points35 points ago

If the "buy Winrar" is just a test to get into paradise, then it means that the winrar creator is God.

[–]I_Inhale_Frequently 8 points9 points ago

So you have to pay to get into heaven, SHIT'S FUCKED MAN.

[–]fatalicus 0 points1 point ago

you just summed up christianity, and probably a few other religions aswell.

[–]Wumblana 0 points1 point ago

Whoa Medieval Man, don't forget, the Catholic Church banned indulgences, and the Protestants were the first ones to successfully correct the flaws of Catholic Church. Show me your sources on where money is required to achieve salvation.

[–]PhiladelphiaIrish 10 points11 points ago

Never use WinRAR= eternal life.

[–]GiPes[S] 3 points4 points ago

No, I think you get into purgatory.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

Nope, Limbo. Like all the unbaptized babies.

[–]fufdoofGOG 2 points3 points ago

Dante's Inferno anyone?

[–]Ralain 5 points6 points ago

Nice try, Winrar INC.

[–]HaiUzeGuize 3 points4 points ago

Guess I'm going to the third level of robot hell. Because I just keygenned it :P

[–]Dugen 11 points12 points ago

Or, you could use 7-zip instead who don't guilt you into buying something that should be free.

[–]Hjortshoj 2 points3 points ago

Kudos good sir.

[–]AlanLolspan 2 points3 points ago

If I go to Hell, it'll be because I've never donated to Spybot S&D.

[–]WendyLRogers3 2 points3 points ago

The only hope of redemption for the eternally damned is to understand the mathematics behind Parchive files (PAR and PAR2).

[–]forbestalley 2 points3 points ago

...anyone else feeling guilty?

[–]whelp 2 points3 points ago

No need to feel guilty. Winrar doesn't care if we get it for free, otherwise they would put some proper DRM.

Every company has to buy it though, with lawsuits and all. That's probably how they make money.

[–]expressadmin 2 points3 points ago

I love how this was posted earlier today to this same subreddit and had 232 upvotes. Reposted and as 1291.

Reddit... you so crazy.

[–]centralcontrol 2 points3 points ago

i actually, truly bought it today. anything that well done needs support.

[–]IntenseGreatness 1 point2 points ago

Thanks. Now I'm fucking paranoid

[–]lisabadcat 1 point2 points ago

I had my work buy me a license 3 pack!

[–]Xenophilus 1 point2 points ago

Ha! The Unarchiver saves me!

[–]Seekerofshadows 1 point2 points ago

Im not since I use 7-zip

[–]EvilSockPuppet 1 point2 points ago

I always figured I'd pay them eventually as a token of gratitude. I use it all the time.

[–]jaamzw 1 point2 points ago

paashaas paid for my ticket to heaven.

[–]_YELLS_THE_OBVIOUS_ 1 point2 points ago

I'M GOING TO HELL BECAUSE I DID'NT BUY WINRAR

[–]CoughSyrup 1 point2 points ago

Buying WinRAR is on my "rich and famous" list. It's right after bribing Gary Busey and Tracy Morgan into having lunch with me.

[–]PresidentCleveland 1 point2 points ago

that's the most insanely funny thing ever. when i use it ever, with in like an hour i'll always ask someone online or irl if they bought it. no one has ever said yes!

[–]cu_tiger 1 point2 points ago

But i get it free from my university. What does that mean for me?

[–]fufdoofGOG 1 point2 points ago

But I use 7zip.

[–]scorpion990 1 point2 points ago

I never really understood the point. It's strange that both WinZip and WinRAR do this. Beats me.

[–]Charlestonian 1 point2 points ago

In recent news: Sales of winrar through the roof

[–]DukeOfGeek 1 point2 points ago

If I get to decide how we get into heaven it will be based on your lifetime gratuity to people who work for tips as expressed as a percentage of your bill.

3% = the special Hell 5% = Hell 8% = limbo 10% = purgatory 12% = Reincarnate 15% = Heaven 20% = ????

[–]libertasmens 1 point2 points ago

Chatt-Chitto is my hero.

He cracked my copy of WinZip so I never had to use WinRar.

[–]8-bit_d-boy 1 point2 points ago

Nope, I use PeaZip.

[–]kamakozei 1 point2 points ago

Implying everyone in the world has a computer with winrar on it

[–]lalaland4711 0 points1 point ago

Not me, I paid for it.

[–]JustForBrowsing 0 points1 point ago

Seems like the guy that made this is actually the creator of WinRar in a feeble attempt to make us feel guilty enough to buy it.

[–]carlospc 0 points1 point ago

I bought my license 10 years ago :)

[–]okaythisisit 0 points1 point ago

[–]GiPes[S] 6 points7 points ago

I wasn't aware it was a repost, sorry.

[–]j1x1 3 points4 points ago

If you found it online, it's a repost.

[–]Azor2500 1 point2 points ago

I found you online. You're a repost.

[–]CameToSayNoWay 1 point2 points ago

Shut it, you repost.

[–]Azor2500 1 point2 points ago

You do not tell me what to do you dirty little repost.

[–]1leggeddog 2 points3 points ago

With this logic, it's even a repost for the original author. he just reposted it from his MIND.

[–]stonedsasquatch 1 point2 points ago

no...no its not
