It is only flakey with people with low intelligence! I have never had
any problems thus far and I only upgrade memory modules as and when I
get throw-aways from my university.


LOL! Buggy code that only affects those with low intelligence!

I would give you the incomplete error codes that that result from PA,
but you are worth it, as anyone reading your drivel will see you opinion
as nothing but misplaced backslapping.

"Only morons have PA problems, and since I've never had one, that means
I'm not a moron!" BS! What it means is that you are totally insecure,
and you need to wrongly put down people's intelligence in order to build
up your own ego.

PA problems have nothing to with intelligence, unless you count in
greed, and a need to control others as negative intellingence traits,
and then it isn't the End Users intelligence that is in question, but
Microsoft's executives that came up with the PA concept.

P.S........ and possibly it could be time for you to consider an

He is not likely to need any help as he is using cracked software
which is not supported.

No amount of anger management is going to make any difference with
him.

About three days ago I posted a message here or in the hardware group
defending MS Activation because it took me less than 3 clicks; it was fast
and easy. Well guess what.

I hooked up a USB camera last night. I got a popup saying that before the
effects could take place I had to reboot. When I rebooted, I got the
Activation popup saying I my hardware configuration had changed.

Before that I switched HDD's around and put in a new cd drive. I don't know
how I could have exceeded anything. Anyway, I let the activation
automatically dial me into their 800 number. I am on dial-up by the way.

Then I got disconnected saying I had exceeded my activations. I then
realized I was going to have to enter a 60 digit number, so I said screw it
and opted out to talk directly to a rep. I was on hold for 4 minutes. When
she came on, I told her all I did was connect a usb camera. She explained
that everytime my hardware changed I would have to reactivate.

I told her I had a new video card coming and a new DVD writer coming, so I
had better wait before reactivating now because I don't want to have to go
through this again when my new hardware arrives from newegg.

She said I could not wait and that I was going to have to call out my 60
digit number and then she would reissue me a new number that I had to enter
to reactivate.

This whole process took exactly 10 minutes. And I am going to have to go
through this every time I connect a USB camera? Are you kidding me?

The camera is a cybershot and when I plug it into my USB hub it says found
new hardware but you must reboot before changes can take effect.

Will MS pay for me to get a card reader so I don't have to keep
disconnecting my camera? I can't believe I am going to have to go through
this again when my video card gets here. I am going to make damn sure I do
the DVD writer at the same time.

How much money is MS saving by doing this activation? I am telling you that
I am actually thinking about getting an illegal copy of XP now!!!!!

When I bought this XP from Circuit City, you guys should have had this
disclaimer on it:

WARNING: Microsoft now makes it very inconvenient for you to use XP if you
are going to build your own computer.

By implication and deduction, you are admitting that you are a moron. I
shall not try to disagree with you on that score. We already had views
and opinions about you but purely out of politeness we decided to keep
it to ourselves.

Are you using Pluralis Majestatis here? Were you the rector at your
university? If not then your opinions are your own not that of a group. I
think the majority of the regulars here think that Kurt may have a bee in
his bonnet about Microsoft's policies but most of us don't think he's a
moron.

ROFL! I was paraphrasing you, dipsh*t. Hence the quotes to indicated I
wasn't writing as me.

That you didn't figure that out kinda points to you being the sanitation
engineer at your institution.

I'm sure some of the participants of this thread are using dial-up to
access this group. And I'm using cable, so technically that could be
considered a land-line too!
