Walsingham Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Say "hi" to Bill for me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am OK with that, but I wonder if you've considered the fact that I could as easily punch him up the conk? "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
Atreides Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Now why would I want you to that? Spreading beauty with my katana.
Kaftan Barlast Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 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. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "

Judge Hades Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 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.

astr0creep Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I hate Internet Explorer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Spider Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 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.

Of course that takes away your ability to do a manual windows update as well as trying beta software like ie7 and such. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.
