Thhhhinners!
This should piss off shark:
Why not just pop the CD in a Linux or BSD box and then rip and play it however you want ;)
Buahahahaha.
This is going to cause a lot of problems with novice PC users.There are approx half a million infected PC's out there.Quote:
How do we remove rootkits? -- There is only one guaranteed way to remove a rootkit. You destroy the system and then rebuild it. There is no other way to reliable remove a rootkit — no other way whatsoever. You can't delete the file or even reinstall the operating system over the top of the existing OS — which is a horrible practice anyway. It is super important to nuke the system because a rootkit's primary function is stealth — what is it hiding? Do you know? Usually not. How can you reliably know what it was hiding, what it was compromising or what it was removing?

They say that the CD's were only available to the US and Canadian market, lucky us, and they critisize the Europeans and Asians for pirating CD's, well I guess they don't look the fools now. :mad:
Hi dalek
I think that some might have gotten loose in Australia and mainland Europe (didn't BMG used to be a German music distributor?)
The problem is that because of the differential pricing rip offs people over here can import from the USA and actually save money ..................I have done it several times just net shopping, and if you have relatives and friends as well? (OK..............they have no choice about being my relative :D ?)
There are some very greedy people in the UK, so as long as you are prepared to pay local price + FEDEX, that is OK? The difference is the local rip-off
:mad:
Hi nihil
Think I could save some if I got some of my relatives over there (UK) to order and then ship them back to me?...What with our dollar being what it is?...no maybe not eh! :pQuote:

By the time this CD problem as well as (P2P) sharing is all squared away, the format will change and we will be forced to assimiliate (resistance is futile). Also the pricing will never change, too many hands in the pie.
The consumer in the end loses, and the middlemen are the ones who laugh all the way to the banks. :mad:
