C-DILLA, the license manager installed with TT, installs a Service on you NT/2000/XP box called C-DillaCdaC11BA. It also creates a hidden folders on your C: drive called C-Dilla. To me installing a service is not acceptable unless the program needs to be doing a continous task.
So this services sits there running all the time sucking up your CPU and using memory whether you are using TT or not. And here is the kicker, C-Dilla remains after uninstalling TT.
Here is a good article on C-DILLA.
C-Dilla! "Copy Protection or Spyware?"
Won't my Microsoft Windows "Palladium" PC stop my 13 year old son from installing garbage like this on the home PC, saving our household from having our privacy viloated.
"XDocs," the code name for a new product in the Microsoft Office family, streamlines the process of gathering information by enabling teams and organizations to easily create and work with rich, dynamic forms. The information collected can be integrated with a broad range of business processes because XDocs supports any customer-defined XML schema and integrates with XML Web services. As a result, XDocs helps to connect information workers directly to organizational information and gives them the ability to act on it, which leads to greater business impact.
So those in Seattle owning a $25,000 car get to pay $350 per car per year to pay for one line of the monorail. If you have two $25K cars you get to pay $3,500 over 5 years waiting for this thing to open.
That's a lot of jack just to make it easier to get to the ball game.
I wonder how they are going to pay for the other 4 lines?
Sounds like the Nokia protection act. Sad, but we know how anti-US Europe is and Nokia is the only consumer level tech company to make any sort of dent in the US market.
Of course Nokia has been asleep at the wheel with their phone offerings in the US. I mean really, who is going to carry that brick of phone known as the 9000i. Geeesh.

How to uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
To manually uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player plug-in (Other browsers, Macintosh and Windows)
1 Quit the browser.
2 Locate the browser application folder on your hard drive.
3 Locate the Plug-ins folder inside the browser application folder.
For example, C:\Program Files\Netscape\plugins\ (Windows), HD:Applications:Netscape:Plugins (Macintosh), or/usr/bin/Netscape/plugins/ (Linux or Solaris).
The exact location of plug-ins folder may vary depending on platform/browser.
4 Locate the Macromedia Flash Player plug-in:
On Windows, the plug-in is named NPSWF32.dll.
On Macintosh, it is called Shockwave-Flash-NP-PPC or Shockwave-Flash-NP-68.
On Linux and Solaris the Macromedia Flash Player consists of two files: libflashplayer.so and ShockwaveFlash.class.
They charge OEMs $49 for a copy of Windows Xp Home.
Including a pretty good OS you get a browser, media player, games, cd burning, email client, fax machine, etc. Windows XP is pretty much free or at least comparable to the cost of commercial versions of Linus.
I would imagine that they would give away XBoxes for free if they would not get in trouble with the Government.
Newport News Shipbuilding is constructing CVN 77, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, for the Navy in Newport News, Va. In January (2000), the shipbuilder chose Lockheed Martin Corp. to develop the carrier's integrated warfare systems, said Jerri Fuller Dickseski, a company spokeswoman. Lockheed Martin officials chose Microsoft for the project.
According to this article, that legality has yet to be challenged.
Microsoft has never contacted Mr. Rota or DivXNetworks. Its employees won't say whether the company plans to sue, but their opinion of DivX;-) is clear. "We invented it," says Sean Alexander, a product manager in Microsoft's digital media division. The point may be moot. DivXNetworks never built or distributed DivX;-). Its product is DivX;-) Deux, a new codec it claims to have designed from scratch. If DivX;-) Deux is free of Microsoft code, it's not likely to violate any copyrights, though Microsoft may argue that the software mimics its patented methods.
And if you are wondering DixvNetworks got $6 million in Round 2 funding, short of the 7-10 million they were hoping for.
Not inflation, this is the cost of doing business in the US for large corporations.
Look, MS was sued by the DOJ, not because of Netscape, but becuase it was apolitical. MS wasn't 'paying' their fair share towards the pols, so the gov't said let's make them pay.
MS has learned a hard politcal lesson, one they will not repeat.

You can use ANY email address you prefer for your 'passport', so just use a different email address and a new passport at each passport required site and they will not be able to link the data.

It attaches and "uses its own independent on-board attitude control system, thrusters and fuel load to keep the telecommunications spacecraft at the desired orbital position and altitude."
So what if my local broadcast TV stations died. They provide so little local content it is laughable. Local news broadcasts are 4 minutes of local news (who got shot) and 3 minutes of weather (which I can get 24/7) on the net. Heck even the local sports content is moving to pay TV networks (for example in Cleveland you can't watch the Indians without having cable even though they play in a tax payer supported stadium).
Trust me, NBC, CBS, and ABC would love to kill the affilates and be available as a pay cable networks.
Let's kill the local broadcasters and free up that precious bandwidth for something useful. 85% of us get TV via cable or satellite anyways.

No messing with EULA's or manuals and you get 70-90% off.
MS even offers a Charity license program where some discounts top 90%.
It amazes me how many people working for schools and non-profits who don't know about these programs.
