Yeah Windows has all your information! So does Google! You're on camera probably 20 times on any given day. This paranoia is extremely ridiculous. Every website you visit has your IP address. Your ISP has everything you visit! For all the services Vista phones home with look like they improve the experience anyway. Don't sync your time with Microsoft servers then. Don't participate in the Customer Experience Program...turn off error reporting in services. Sid0 is right on with everything. People are freaked over nothing.
Windows has been gathering usage data long before Vista.
From the article... k... lets pretend M$ has all this info. So what? What the hell are they going to do with it? Why does it bother you so much? Seriously, out of all the information that is gathered... what is going to happen?
Why people think they have some inherit right to privacy when they purchase a product from a company is beyond me.
I reformat my hard drive at least twice a year and always run into this gay problem! Not valid my ass! I bought my computer with it preinstalled... so I guess the rental OS wants to mess with ya. I replaced my hard drive on the same computer and once again I have an invalid copy... its a joke man. I refuse to by XP again just cuz I swap out hardware and the copy I was give is the whole "rental OS" Nope... screw off microsux... just screw off... you know your gay... you prey on those home users with no knowledge on how to crack your gayness!
Give me a break! This is the gayest thing I have ever heard of. Not only is it OLGA... but several guitar tab sites have been "temporarily" shut down... it is guitar tab!!! NOT THE SONG! It is just several guitarists ideas of how they think the song should be transcribed!!!!! This pisses me off so much! THis is so wrong on so many levels... I am pissed trying to write anything about it.
HA HA HA! NO SHIT! I am a musician and I will tell you this... without the internet and filesharing No one would ever hear my shit except at local clubs and coffee shops. Now I can get that shit all over the world.
One of my guitar amps cost $250! If you a Madonna fan and it is your dream to waste that kind of money on her dumbass go for it.
It is the same old story how the poor little record companies don't make any money... BULLSHIT! Then you say the Artists don't make money? My ass! If your a commercial success story... you sure as fuck do. And it isn't from album sales... never has been. a $17 album.. artist cut is usually less than $2.
What the fuck ever happened to playing for the love of MUSIC and not money. Madonna can't even write a good song anymore... talented writers are paid to do that shit. Boycott all commercial music... download the fuck out of it. Music isn't about money and material things. If you truely understand music, it is expression of one's self and soul. IF people relate... KICK ASS... if not so what.
This is the most queer argument I have ever heard. This really makes me want to stop buying albums. And I basically have! I enjoy collecting the master copies in Pawn shops. Unless it is a band I HAVE to get the day the disc is released... I just download their shit... then wait until the album shows up in the used bin or a pawn shop for $2
