Why is activation necessary -- it is invasive!!!

[Alias]

Who cares about the rest of this? I just notice you flying up and down
the NG, in some kind of lunatic state of mind.

You're letting your imagination run away with you.

Alias

 

[Alias]

You shouldn't be, because if I notice you, you got a problem. You're
slobbering all over these threads.

Care to point out what you don't agree with or are you happy aping Frank
and merely hurling insults and pretending to by a psychiatrist?

You're beyond a hobby. It's more like an addiction.

Your unfounded opinion and an amateur psychology assessment.

That's the only thing you have said that makes any kind of sense.


You should pay attention and keep some kind of dignity.

<bye>

Dignity

Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel
Thin man lookin' at his last meal
Hollow man lookin' in a cottonfield
For dignity

Wise man lookin' in a blade of grass
Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass
Poor man lookin' through painted glass
For dignity

Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve
Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, went into the town
Went into the land of the midnight sun

Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' everywhere I know
Askin' the cops wherever I go
Have you seen dignity?

Blind man breakin' out of a trance
Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance
Hopin' to find one circumstance
Of dignity

I went to the wedding of Mary-lou
She said I don't want nobody see me talkin' to you
Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew
About dignity

I went down where the vultures feed
I would've got deeper, but there wasn't any need
Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men
Wasn't any difference to me

Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade
House on fire, debts unpaid
Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid
Have you seen dignity?

Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years
For dignity

Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues
Said he'd give me information if his name wasn't used
He wanted money up front, said he was abused
By dignity

Footprints runnin' cross the silver sand
Steps goin' down into tattoo land
I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light
In the bordertowns of despair

Got no place to fade, got no coat
I'm on the rollin' river in a jerkin' boat
Tryin' to read a note somebody wrote
About dignity

Sick man lookin' for the doctor's cure
Lookin' at his hands for the lines that were
And into every masterpiece of literature
for dignity

Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind
Combin' his hair back, his future looks thin
Bites the bullet and he looks within
For dignity

Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed
Dignity never been photographed
I went into the red, went into the black
Into the valley of dry bone dreams

So many roads, so much at stake
So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take
To find dignity

First, you have to recognize the problem. Look at this imaginary thread and
see who running up and down the thread posting and slobbering all over it.


Now, you remember. It's just an observation that you *noted*.

Can you show a little dignity? Is the dignity within you?

Did I push a lip dribble button on you? Can't you see your slobbering

[Mr. Arnold]

LOL, it don't take much to push your lip dribble button.

Too deep for you, eh?

Read it again and maybe you, too, will find "dignity".

Yeah, it's too deep. Yes, you're deep and you're full of it.

Read it again and maybe you, too, will find "dignity".

For what? You're not worth a read, because you're a lunatic. I thought you
knew that

But when one has become addicted and a lunatic like you're have become, it's
really hopeless. <g>

You and the word "dignity" are an absolute oxymoron.
Don't make me laugh!

Activation may not stop China form pirating Vista but it will stop
casual piracy and that is million and millions of copies.

There's the key point... Microsoft doesn't want to prevent the Chinese
from pirating Vista, because the Chinese are used to getting their OS for
free, and if they suddenly have to pay, they might switch to Linux.

It amounts to a two-tiered pricing system... MS is screwing its best
customers by charging them more than ever and adding punitive
restrictions to the license, while making sure its worst customers can
still get the product for free.

I am building a system. I am now on my third activation.

Microsoft is invasive -- period. Activation is required for instances
having nothing to do with the Vista operating system or my use under license
agreement.

I added a hard disk drive and formatted it -- this was another drive and on
a second SATA controller (in addition to my drive holding my system files
[Windows Vista] located on a primary SATA controller). I later removed the
formattted drive from my computer. This triggered a second activation and
one that permitted only a 3-day grace period. A re-activation which could
only be done by phone (to India). This reguirement for activation had
nothing to do with VISTA or Microsoft's license. This is MY hardware.
Microsoft is trespassing on my property.

I added hard drives (a 4-drive system) and built two RAID arrays, "1" & "0"
(two drives each). These RAID arrays share the same primary SATA controller.
The RAID "1" array includes the system volume and files (Windows Vista). A
third activation was now required by Microsoft. Although this instance of
re-activation could be accomplished online, why does adding the security of
mirrored drives necessitate re-activation? How is Vista compromised or
Microsoft threatened?

Activation is a sham!!!

Agreed. But that is what you signed up for. You'll find that Linux systems
do not do that.

 

[Guest]

Anyone that used Raid 0 and Raid 1 is a waste of space!

Ever haerd of Raid 5, the proper way, lol.

 

[Dave]

Raid 0 is for speed
Raid 5 is for redundancy
Gateway shipped my PC with Raid 0
I could say Raid 5 is a waste of space, especially in a home computer, with
adequate backups.

I question wheather there are darker purposes here. For example, is
Activation being used to condition the sheep? Is this just another
stepping
stone for Microsoft to get all "uses" on single pay? When will we own
absolutely nothing? When will we be paying every time for every use of
software, every time for every single play of a song, a sound clip, or a
video segment? When will the price of a CD or DVD vary according to how
many
uses/plays are permitted?

For your own sake, protest Activation.

YOU don't own the software. You only have a license to use it It
runs all the software I need. Have you ever heard of Wine?

But hey, after all, it is free.
