over video chat we all witnessed someone's box, cd's and reciept... then watched as he tried to connect to bnetd and saw the thing say "disabled" - the wc3 web site states they are all disabled for now
If you remove WMP completely and legally you will also loose the usage of other media players because the software developers were to lazy to use their own system.
They almost always rely on MS's codec package as well, and they can't use them with WMP installed.
In the only _real_ law book I've read on the subject, which reads as easy as applied cryptography's first few chapters(seriously, it's very basic the hard shit follows), explains that a contract contains a portion where they must provide something while you must also. Either party fails to provide it's side of the deal the contract is null or goes into despute (court)
No one party can change lines of a contract or edit the final conditions without the users consent (read:signature). Of course clicking YES to the new one _could_ be the same... i hope not...
the record companies do get the majority of the moeny from a CD sale, but they also spend loads of money on alot of these artists. I'm not sure of the exact price that it takes to put together a music video, but i imagine its in the millions, now the artists themselves sure as hell don't pay these costs. Also the record company has to promote songs and albums by paying radio stations and MTV to play them. Most popular musicians today owe all of their fame to a record company. It is these 'evil' companies which have talent scouts that go around searching for potential stars. I admit that there are a few very talented musicians that could make it big in the country by their skill alone, but these people are few and far between. For the most part it is the record companies that makes these people stars.
This though is what makes the situation so wrong. We aren't buying beautiful music when we go to the record store, we are buying business. It's like buying a share in a company yet we don't get an investment in return.
Once there were musicians who didn't care about being famous. Then for a while music became an arena where people wanted to play for anyone and everyone but they still didn't want fame; it became "cool" to diss the companies which promoted you. Now music is in a state where most of the people you see today with an album are the ones who are in it for the fame and fortune alone.
Now this doesn't mean we don't have good artists, who provide us with quality music, and want to be rich too. But many artists I know, who aren't famous and only pay a local gigs say that they don't want to go into "the business" because it has changed so much.
Now they aren't going to stop playing music, they just realize that it isn't about the fame and fortune. It's about aesthetics, it's about the message - it's about art.
They admit playing Madison Square Gardens would be great, and they want to live by playing gigs all over but they don't want to become a pawn in a game of the recording industry.
The RIAA is so nuts because they are simply a group which has risen by providing capital for artists. Then they own you, and likely your music. The question is are they needed today in such a connected world?

Although they say "mouse" this is actually a trackball with the trackball removed.
I'm a very happy user* of a Microsoft Trackball Optical and it is the same thing yet they decided to leave in the trackball instead of using your finger.
The precision of these optical devices however does let anyone use them almost anywhere (except on glass, mirrors, etc). But if they want to call this a "mouse" it would need to go on the bottom of your phone while you move it around on it's back (or front?)
*there is a problem where by moving the wires the mouse become disconnected, likely a short. Luckily I use it with the USB port because I can bring it back online without getting on my hands and knees. Anyone had to ship one back to M$? I just found their replacement page here

Hey, people quit complaining about how this is pointless or what-not.
It's just damn cool. I'm interested in the results because, well it's just cool.
Go ahead mod me down. This is "key", people who think this isn't "key"... well they aren't "key". Scornful moderators aren't key.

Seriously not trying to be a troll, but I hope someone turned the guy (or girl, you didn't say) in.
That is a _real_ crime, there is a real victim, and who wants to work with someone like that?
Sure, you would pull your games from Wal-Mart, Staples, Best Buy ....

Wal-Mart is one place you won't want to loose. Sure make jokes but they are huge and the people that shop there will buy anything (Deer Hunter)
Thank you.
Sounds like the Eminem fiasco... there were stores selling the game early.
Plus I saw pics of the box (even video, the fool flashed his serial also...) it was a tiny
you don't listen.
over video chat we all witnessed someone's box, cd's and reciept... then watched as he tried to connect to bnetd and saw the thing say "disabled" - the wc3 web site states they are all disabled for now
Actually no, I've seen it in the store - someone I know has it, although their serial at this point has been "disabled".
Works, no online play.
I say fsck the people who won't watch TNN because of the bar.
They have some great shows, of course TNG.. but other ones I hate to admit like Kate & Alley.
I thought it was cool that on an episode talking about college they were giving the acceptance rates at the bottom...
...knowledge is cool.
On a gaming forum I love we got into a fight over when this game will come out.
I've seen it stores for a while now.

I agree.

In fact, a Ford family member (William Clay Ford) is now running things again (which hasn't happened in a while).
Great more Nazi's!
So will they sue me now over www.fordwasanazi.com?

I hope I don't get bitchslapped for this but I don't understand.
CmdrTaco is a Who fan yet he disses the disc golfers? Doesn't make much sense considering we are one in the same audience.
Sure some disc golfers might not be Who fans, yet they substitute with others like Zeppelin, Rush, etc, etc...
Troll... fuck that
The situation is bullshit.
If I start running off copies of XP I should get a check eh?
Fucking bullshit.
Ok, so there is rampant piracy in China and they get fucking rewarded with a fat fucking check?
Fuck that shit. No sir I won't calm down. We are a free nation but we get the BSA and they get a fucking check?
Isn't this some fucked up shit? They can't even obey US anti-trust laws and they still go on with software "raids". Fuck that.
I guess criminals stick together. Fucking bastards.
Bull shit.
