Default Why Only On One PC?


"Bruce Chambers" wrote
Greetings --

Let's put the responsibility where it lies, shall we? We
bonafide, honest customers are not inconvenienced by WPA. We're
inconvenienced by the acts of the software pirates who have made WPA
and other copy protection schemes necessary.


Are you serious? Regardless of the reason, WPA is an inconvenience for
bonafide users and isn't one for users of cracked versions.

Just as we
inconvenienced by having to lock our homes and cars to keep common
thieves out -- it's not the manufacturer of the locks and automobiles
who are the root cause of the inconvenience, it's the dishonesty of
others. Just as we resent having to pay taxes to keep convicted
criminals behind bars.

Gosh, so when is Linux coming up with a WPA?

LOL!

Just curious, who invented this "license usage"? Microsoft, per

chance? WPA
does not stop piracy. The *only* thing it does is inconvenience

bonafide
customers.

Somehow, I don't think that every product carries rules of usage
with them.
For example, a banana. Chiquita Banana could care less if two

people
eat it,
no one eats it or you use it as a dildo and then smoke the

peels.
After all
you *did* pay for the product and it is therefore *yours*.
Unfortunately,
the rules of usage for an MS OS doesn't stop piracy and only

gets
bonafide
customers upset with Microsoft for the inconvenience and

probably
don't have
much sympathy with MS' excuse that they're "losing money to

piracy"
when
their CEO is the richest man in the world.
