The best thing that anyone going could do is to simply avoid the MS booth(s). Don't go to them and don't even look to see what they have to offer. Simply avoid anything with MS related to it and they will get the picture real quick.
I found the programs running in task manager and deleted them. That killed the icons from that session. Then I went to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Run" and the program paths were there as keys. I deleted them and now the unneeded icons no longer show in my system tray whenever I reboot:) .
I have this DVD writer now (HP dvd200i). I got mine from CompUSA. It's already there for $500, but if you are someone that shops at CompUSA a lot, get a GameFix Membership for $50. This membership gives you 10% off all purchases. So the HP dvd200i will cost you just $450, of course you spent $50 on the membership, but you get 10% off all future purchases. So you are going to need those DVD+RWs they are selling and you get 10% off those. You can buy the DVD+R media from HP's web site. That's not in the stores yet.
But the drive works great. I've made some movies with DVD+RWs and they play fine in my APEX 1500 DVD Player.
From what I've seen most of the major players are moving towards +R(W). And it appears to be the most compatable when burned from a burner like the HP dvd200i.
With an HP dvd200i and a copy of the latest version of Nero you can't go wrong. The latest version of Nero is much better for burning DVDs than the tools HP gives you with the drive. In fact, I've got this stupid HP CD-DVD icon in my system tray that I can't get rid of. I don't want to fully uninstall the HP software incase I'd ever want to use it. I just want to get rid of the system tray icon. Oh well, I've got an InCD icon in my system tray from Nero that I can't remove either. Anyone know how to remove System Tray icons in Win2K?
Also, it can burn CDs at 12X. DVDs only burn at 2.4X.
[No I'm not associated with HP/Compaq in any way. I'm just someone who purchased a dvd200i and feels it is the best option available.]
Not sure I spelled it right, but this is not the first time they've made a mistake when it came to DVDs;o).
Remember when they sold DVDs with that Divx protection that did not allow you to watch them after a day or 2? With 90% of homes having a VHS and only 35% with a DVD Circuit City is making a mistake.
About time they eased up on prices a bit, but that probably means they are getting over on us even worse than we all thought;o).
Regarding that CD-R article, I'm sure the RIAA would just love to ban the things. How about they just ban all dual-deck tape recorders too. Write you representatives folks. Don't let them lobby to take away all that is left of Fair-Use.
I never actually used their service, but made inquiries in the past, for names that I found they would let no one purchase. Some common terms could not be purchased. Even inquiries required giving them a credit card number. And eventhough I never signed up, there was no way to remove my card from their database afterward. I did not know they kept it stored and when they were hacked I had to get a new card number FAST.
If you are cherokee can you say "Dawes Act"? Your people are due millions, possibly a billion plus and there are legal battles going on right now over this.
Native Americans were suppose to be receiving royalties for land for many years and did not receive a dime. And it all relates back to what happend 500 years ago.
Don't beleive me? Check out this page and see on the lower right side of the page where a caption says "LONG OVERDUE?
Will Uncle Sam pay billions to Native Americans", you can see the video for yourself.
Seems that the government would have loved for you to get over this;o) .
Interesting, celebrate the supposed discovery of the land for over 500 years and even call it a Holiday, but when confronted with how the land was STOLEN, the response is "get over it". Spoken like a true coward!
On 9/11 the Emergency Broadcast System here in the USA was not used AT ALL. WHY?? Because the news channels knew what was going on before the government.
All this talk of emergency communication networks is bogus. They just need to feed information to the news outlets like they always do.
Go to News.com and click the link on the right side of the page that says "Does your PDA parler français?". It is video for a translation device. It's pretty amazing.
The guy was talking into it in English and this thing repeats the words in the selected language.
I'm sure it's far from perfect, but this thing is like one step closer to some Star Trek like technology in regards to translation.
Oh, so let's give those white guys a cookie for raising the practice to a another level - NOT! Slavery was going on in various place, not none compare with Europe and America's exploitation of it. Except maybe the Egyptians enslavement of the Jews.

About time the true guilty party was sued!

Does the RIAA have stock in them?

I'm glad they are gone. Many names could not be purchased and their fee structure sucked - IMHO.
And to top it off they could not protect their customer database and compromised every one of their customer's credit cards.

I hope no such service is ever made again!
Just wait till the military starts using these....
Oops!!! Wrong guy, he's on our side ;o) . I was talking about Hollings. Sorry.
Just pay a US Rep enough and they say whatever you want!
I thought representatives were suppose to do what ever got them a bunch of votes, but now it's all about the money!

The creator of Ad-Aware needs money to fight junk like this, not to mention keeping up the good work ;o) .
We should all support him with our dollars and buy Ad-Aware. Don't just use the free version.
Interesting, celebrate the supposed discovery of the land for over 500 years and even call it a Holiday, but when confronted with how the land was STOLEN, the response is "get over it". Spoken like a true coward!
I mean to say "the entire world can support it".
Find some good open source freeware like Mozilla and distribute it. Then the entire would can support the product ;o) .
Well just the same, the EBS was not used. And millions are spent to keep that going. I just think this sounds like a government waste project.
So tell me more about the capitol being evacuated before the first plane hit? What's up with that? You got any details to give more info on that?

How do we know they never used GPL'ed code anywhere?

Thanks.
Are there any web sites still selling DVD Players with the special Macrovision disable menu? Customizable region coding would be nice too.
I have not found any since last year.
Those 2002 Earthlings may be able to beam you in any day now ;o) .
Thanks isomeme, I was looking for this verse. Ain't no way I'm taking this MARK!!!
They can sue for the name crumbs ;o) !
