What is that link for wazzledoozle?

 

[KennyT772]

it got me on accident...god dammit.

"I swear im running windows legally! I SWEAR!!!"
any way to remove the program?

 

[zekrahminator]

I'm running a legal copy of windows...and yeah that thing snuck up on me too. I hope the monitoring thing doesn't go any farther then the OS, because otherwise I WILL figure out linux, no matter how hard it is or how long it takes.

Gates must be ecstasic... now that he has one legal installation in Vietnam!!!
and maybe 7 in India... or even 10 in China.

I wonder what happens apart from the warning - does windows stop working or something... I imagine u can always restore ur system and roll back the changes.

I installed it by proxy too today - although I have a legal copy - I am not amused with this snooping around.

[FLY3R]

Danm, This sucks.. My comp hasn't been connected to the internet for like a month so when i do hook it up im deff not getting that patch, even though im running a legal genuine w/e crapppola version of windows..

Damn that is one sweet link!!

I didn't install the geniune advantage thing either... it just sounded bad..

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

I hope the monitoring thing doesn't go any farther then the OS...

You and me both....

 

[Keiki]

Good thing I have a genuine version of windows , but looking at the way things are going, M$ should be coming up with a update that checks the "validity" of the programs inside ur computer... then we should be switching to linux

 

[trog100]

windiz update hehe.. it kinda went thru my mind that windiz update might be very sneaky way of bill getting his spyware on your machine..

but if its trick i fell for it.. i installed the windiz update thingy.. he he he

If you got your copy of XP from a reliable source, who cares? You will need that patch if you want to install downloadable Microsoft software, or are into BETA testing Microsoft software.

This sounds like when SP2 came out, some were in an uproar because it was new and different. As it turns out it was a good thing!

If your insurance is paid and your stickers are legit, why run from OneTime?

 

[trog100]

just a thought but i wonder if bill would sooner folks use a none ligit copy of windows and still remain under his control or move to linux..

either way he sorta loses money but one way he keeps the world under his thumb..

clever guy is bill.. he lets easily copied versions of windows loose for years. then when the world only speaks the one language he starts trying to extract his pound of flesh..

the plan is simple u dole out cheap or easily copied operating systems or other things like gillette razors or microsoft xboxes.. then when everybody has one.. u screw em for all they are worth..

u have to be very rich to do it.. but in the end u win it all.. bill needs resisting not defending.. he will rip your balls off if u let him.. its the way it works.. he he he

trog

ps.. the bottom line here is.. some folks dont like the idea of bill having access to thier machine whenever he feels like it.. course if u aint a terrorist or some other kind of criminal subversive.. what have u got to hide.. he he he he.. it seems in the modern world only criminals require privacy..

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

I like to know what I do on my computer. I am not a terrorist or something. I just like to have privacy.

 

[trog100]

its becoming all too common PVT.. only the bad guys have something to hide.. he he he.. u should let bill and big bro in.. if u dont u automatically become a "suspect".. he he he he..

me.. i recon i am about as "suspect" u it gets.. he he he

trog

 

[regg187]

never had to do that!

 

[regg187]

yeah trog, Ive been in big bro's system b4. It is not a fun place to be. The acommadations are cramped, and if you think their watching you on the outside , just guess how much they watch when your on the inside. yeah, think hard about that!!

 

[Steevo]

Right.


Not that I am a MS lover, after all I have linux on two compys in here, and XP on two. But who really cares? If you are not doing anything illegal or stupid, WHO CARES?


Just the other day I got pulled over. As I wasn't afraid of a Colorado State patrol piggie that was just sitting at a green light. I went ahead when everyone else was waiting for him. When he pulled me over, for no reason, and I refused to give my info over he made up a reason, a shit reason. After the contact, and a verbal warning I called his manager and reamed his ass. Piggie #1 had to drive the thirty miles out of his way and come apologize to me and my family for harrasing us.

The point?

If you aren't doing something stupid, you don't have to worry.

I think Hollywood made a movie about a situation like this, only the head guy was evil (how would you classify Bill?) and the OS and Security software had a back door or something so his company could get into anything, litterally. Maybe it was one of the RoboCop movies or The Net with Sandra Bullock. The only thing I really remember is the head guy standing at the enterance of his headquarters holding a press conference telling the world that his system was going online. Once it did all hell broke loose with the government's secret files being accessed by the OS/Security, or something like that. Makes you kind of wonder, what with science fiction leading our technical evolution.
Look at the end of the last Terminator movie, now that was scary to us tech heads! Made one think, what is my computer doing when I'm not maxing out CPU power?

Give a moron a piece of paper that says they're smart (college degree) and a little power/authority (which is an illusion, as you showed) and the moron will do the dumbest things!

 

[Polaris573]

I'm really getting sick of the "if you're not doing anything wrong then don't worry" mentality. For a country supposedly founded on a right to privacy (among other "rights") the people that live here don't seem to care too much when their rights are limited, invaded, or taken away. I find it frightening that the same people who buy the party line and loudly proclaim that we invaded iraq to give the people there the same rights and freedoms we enjoy merely shrug when ours are taken away.

 

[Solaris17]

ya it is pretty sad its like we have more rights than ppl in other countrys!!!

sure its a long list of rights but their limited.

i have the "right" to tell the cop to leave me alone when he askes how many times im naked a day but...................

ppl can invade my computer
ppl can get my private phone #
ppl can spam my mail box
random ppl can visit my sick grand mother in the hospital
ppl can randomely open my house and have random ppl look inside just because im moving out



but i can tell the cop to leave me alone


so yay rights!!!!!!!!!!!!
