You will first have to buy an equivalent version. If they're already using XP Home, then just buy XP Home. If they're using XP Pro, then you have to figure out if they're using a volume license version, oem version, or retail version. Then you have to buy the right version license. (If it's volume license, you're out of luck: complete reinstall required.)
Once you have this, log in with the administrators account. In the registry, navigate to HK_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> WindowsNT -> Current Version -> WPAEvents. Right click on OOBETimer and select "Modify". Change any of the values in there, and close the registry.
Next, go to Start->Run and type "c:\windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe/a" without the quotes. Click to register by phone, and on the next page click the button to change your Key (or license, my memory gets hazy at this point). Enter in your new LEGAL license key, and click Next. It should generate a new system id. Cancel out of the screen, reboot, and you should be able to do legal things like get updates from Windows Update without running into WGA blocks.
It's unfortunate that the world is full of so many morons who (a) cannot tell propaganda from bullshit, and (b) can't creatively channel their frustrations. Hacking a NASA website won't stop a single Israel bomb or Hezbollah rocket from falling on civilians.
That is the UN Flag flying right next to the flag of Hizbollah. Hizbollah personnel and UN personnel frequently share water, phones, and other resources. There's an old saying, that if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
There's a saying on the street that you can have a good company with a damaged stock. A stock really doesn't reflect the worth of a company, so you often wind up with a situation where stock prices go up when they should go down, or stock prices go down when they should go up. The plummet of Vonage stock is likely due to rumor, innuendo, or other social factors. The company itself provides high quality service, has already made it through the development stages, and is now seeking capital to expand. The only better stock than Vonage in this area is VOIP Inc, who sells equipment and service to Vonage. I'd buy a little of both if I had the cash to spare right now.
This is rediculous. When I was a kid mixing sugar and potassium chloride, the last thing I gave a shit about was if it was legal or not to do so. In fact, most of my scientific explorations (blue boxing, hacking, amature explosives manufacturing) were decidedly not legal either in practice or end use. That was exactly what attracted me to them.
What is this attraction to appealing to fear, uncertainty, and doubt among slashdot submissions lately? The world is not going to burn or freeze due to global warming, George W Bush doesn't give a shit about your personal phone calls, terrorists aren't hiding behind the counter at every 7/11, and the Internet is not being taken over by corporations. Get a grip people.
Some Facts US Population: 298,444,215. UK Population: 60,609,153. Actual proportionality k used to accomodate for increased error rates based on population size: None. I thumbed through a copy of JAMA at the library, and this study is horrible horrible horrible in terms of methodologies. And while the conclusions might be true, they might very well not be true; this study isn't a good indicator either way.
Wow, modded down. The beatiful irony is that I'm being censored for pointing out that
a) CBS has no credibility, and has been party to the manufacture of falsified documents to bolster its assertions, and
b) Hansen has no credibility, and has been well documented as saying that it's okay to lie about your research and falsify data to get your point across to the public.
There's no story here people. Well, wait. I guess there is a story. The same uncredible news media organization that brought you faked-with-microsoft-word memos to support a story critical of the president now trots out a scientist who himself has a severe credibility problem in order to beat a dead horse of a story about the Bush administration wanting to censor a lunatic who has publically avowed the need to use alarmist rhetoric to focus attention on his pet issue.
First off, Asimov didn't make any 'laws'. These were guidelines which he readily broke in his own fiction at several points. These so-called laws existed within the framework of fiction as part of a plot device. This mock outrage is almost pathetic as Trekkers who scream about the Air Force wanting to develop warp drive because the Federation isn't supposed to be a military force. (Which is also bullshit since every Federation ship can do battle at the drop of a hat, but I digress.)
More importantly, these devices are not robots by any stretch of the imagination. They are not independant of human control. They are not 'automatons'. In fact, they are nothing more than RC cars with guns strapped to them - something friends of mine have been doing for years. It also bears pointing out that guided missiles such as the venerated Tomahawk, and anti-tank mines or area-denial munitions do fit the definition of a primitive robot in that they operate without user input, make decisions as to how to best carry out their instructions. They have been for over two decades now. And the break every one of Asimov's 'laws'. So kindly move on now...
I did a search for "linux". Got relevent results. Did a search for "microsoft sucks" and got Microsuck.com. Will they replace google? Not today. But they're finally off to a decent start.

... the government of Australia is silent on the issue of banning corrupt politicians. One politician was quoted as saying that there's not evidence that corrupt politicians lead to a rise in graffiti. "That's just preposterous," sayeth MP Swindell.
Oddly, if you had read the article, you'd know that only the tree ring data was unreliable beyond 1200 years. That is not their only data source, however. The reason for stopping at 1200 is not because one data point is unreliable, but because it does not agree with the rest of their data.
The accepted practice is to identify them by the office they hold. Identifying their political party is more or less done at the whim of the reporter, and in many cases its done with an eye towards marginalizing the person or the political party. I can think of sever glaring examples, such as how ABCCBSNBCCNN all identified Congressman Gary Condit as "R, CA" when he was in fact "D, CA". When pressed, all three news agencies fingered AP for the fault. The AP reporter sheepishly replied that the R was for "Representative".
There is not AP format for identifying politicians by party or constituency.
But perhaps not about his playing patterns. He's lying because he was fired along with a dozen other people who weren't playing solitaire as part of a restructuring of the department. And chances are good he and the rest of those employees were among the least productive, lest they would have been retasked within the department.

Unfortunatly, FUD goes way further than common sense or human memory.

And either way it's unamerican.

Not on my search.

we have a selective memory and a free media
It's not that they have a long memory. It's that they have a remarkably selective memory. They also lack a free media.
"Insightful" is reserved for comments which actually provide a new or unique perspective. It should not be applied to patent and banal ramblings which bear not semblance to actual facts.
As my grandpappy used to say (until dementia took over), "the good thing about alzheimers is that you can hide your own easter eggs."
... the government of Australia is silent on the issue of banning corrupt politicians. One politician was quoted as saying that there's not evidence that corrupt politicians lead to a rise in graffiti. "That's just preposterous," sayeth MP Swindell.
I'll remember that when you're being carted off as a dissident.
I vote Republican. I am part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. It's you that should be afraid.
(Incidentally, there haven't been any "illegal" wiretaps. Stop parroting the shrill rhetoric of others for once in your life.)

It also says that the results were "probably related" to anthropogenic activity. So what we're dealing with is a while lot of unreliable speculation.
And your wrong. The data culled from tree rings is only reliable for the last 1200 years, but that's not the only source they used for this "study".
Learn to spot dogma.
No surprised that that insightful two cents was brought to you by an AC. Get a life.

which is what you're implying happened.
I directly stated it you moron. If you don't know about the issue, then keep your ignorant hole shut.
