Say "hi" to Bill for me.

I am OK with that, but I wonder if you've considered the fact that I could as easily punch him up the conk?

tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Now why would I want you to that?

Although, this requires that you were stupid enough to let windows update install WGA on your system in the first place.

DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

 

Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.

DO IT! I'll give you a Donutland Donut. REALLY! :-

Astro, you avatar makes me wonder what if the Borg captured and assimilated Carrot Top and they incorporated his style of sense of humor while conquering planets.

It's amazing that Bill Gates finds the time to read all these reports.

Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

WGA can be deactivated.

In Internet Explorer: Tools/Internet Options/Programs Tab/Manage Add-Ons.

In the list that appears in the window, look for Windows Genuine Advantage. Select it and click deactivate.

 

Voil

I hate Internet Explorer.

I hate Internet Explorer.

 

Me too. I use Firefox. But IE is the only place where you can deactivate WGA. Only place I found anyway.

There are also some registry editing and other more complicated stuff.

And M$ is always trying to find new ways to keep the WGA working so one way may work for a few days but they usually find a "$olution" pretty quickly, and hackers then counter strike with another bypass.

 

Until the end of time.

Or you can just go to add/remove programs and uninstall it. Of course that takes away your ability to do a manual windows update as well as trying beta software like ie7 and such.

Exactly.

 

Incidentally, I'm really liking IE7. I haven't used Firefox on my Windows box ever since it was released. Apart from a few rare rendering bugs on some websites, everything works exactly as it's supposed to. Sure, it's a Firefox ripoff, but a damn good one.

IE 7 has been officially released?
