copy protecttion doesn't work (Re: MS Product Activation for Windows)

Well I think the main reason no one bothered to write a license number generator for win9x, win2k and the windows NT versions is because the inconvenience factor is low right now -- most people have some license numbers lying around. People typically use the same code on all the machines on their network just for convenience. (Well probably someone has in fact written a crack for the different windows versions, but my point is no one has an incentive to use such work-arounds, because the copy protect code is not too much of a nuisance). The second they introduce this anti-piracy measure -- if they actually go through with it -- the copy protect code check will be broken, with a patch to disable it, or a program to generate licenses. Everyone will use it whether they paid for the windows CD, got it free with their machine, or copied the OS. So pretty much the only effect they'll have is to inconvenience their users, and probably as Ray suggests make more people have negative feelings about copy protection mechanisms because of the extra inconvenience.

Security Firm Signs Ex-CIA Director, Ex-Microsoft President to Board

Jhttp://www.thestandard.com/article/display/0,1151,21412,00.html January 11, 2001 Security Firm Signs Ex-CIA Director, Ex-Microsoft President to Board Advanced Biometrics says it will look to Robert Gates and Michael Hallman to help develop an infrared identification system. By Laura Rohde Advanced Biometrics Inc., or ABI, has added a couple of heavyweights to its board of directors: former CIA Director Robert Gates and former Microsoft President and COO Michael Hallman have joined the biometric technology company, it announced Thursday. Both Gates and Hallman are joining the board, in part, to help guide the development of the ABI's biometric technology LiveGrip, which will be used to identify individuals for security purposes, the company said in two separate statements. LiveGrip identifies a person using infrared light to measure the substructure of a person's hand, the privately held, Washington state-based company said. Gates, who had a 27-year career with the CIA and served as its director under George Bush, is being looked to for his expertise in security and intelligence issues, while Hallman, Microsoft's president from April 1990 to March 1992, would seek investment opportunities for LiveGrip, ABI said. Laura Rohde writes for the IDG News Service.

What makes training with our institution the answer? 1) To begin with, a 1600 student track record and growing daily. 2) Hundreds of successful graduates earning in Internet activities now. 3) $100's of Dollars of FREE Trial Software 4) Career assistance and placement help just for the asking. 5) Conditional Money Back Guarantee! 6) Affordable and/or Subsidized Tuition (earn while you learn) 7) An enjoyable interactive, self-paced, self-taught, at-home system! 8) Teaches you how to effectively create high paying web sites quickly 9) Our University instructors become "Personal Trainers". Our dynamic "Quick Start" trademarked program can teach you how to build professional results-oriented commercial web sites in hours instead of days! Students receive a package including fully functional, all-inclusive software for use in the class, along with essential trialware and freeware added to enhance your education experience. This package alone, has an estimated retail value to the student of hundreds of dollars! This allows our students to learn without investing large amounts of cash. Guaranteed placement assistance is part of the total philosophy too! Students successfully finishing this intense, hands-on training will be guaranteed assistance on THREE levels in finding work and employment for which they can be compensated for! Our Student Advisors can put you in touch with dozens and dozens of satisfied graduates who are glad to tell of their Design School experiences and their new careers or part time lucrative businesses! Call and see if you would qualify for a government grant for our school! We point with pride to a few of our graduates (ask for more examples from admissions): Mark Mentzer says: "When I enrolled at The University I had little skills in the web process. Now six months later they are providing me with site work where I have earned from $400-$1000 in a 2-4 day period! I've built a valuable portfolio that I can market to potential clients or employees. This school was a big break for me." Jennifer Den Adel said: "The staff at The University has been great. In fact, I started out as an intern, and through this past year I've found flexible hours, an invaluable work experience, and the ability to earn a great income. The School has opened the doors for me!" Paul Luecke mentioned: "With the fantastic program at this school, I was able to pay for my training in about two weeks worth of work for their clients! To learn this skill was great....but to have a program where the University basically paid me to learn was unbelievable!" After your graduation you also receive FREE Web Hosting Space to display your work, AND, as your client base begins to soar, we will provide graduates with ADDITIONAL HOSTING SPACE FOR YOUR CLIENTS at next-to-cost pricing! This is a direct profit center for YOU, the web designer, resulting from your clients monthly fees paid directly to you, for hosting their sites. Think it through... If you develop your own clientele and you net just $50 a\ month from your hosting fees, 20 clients would bring you an additional $1000 a month in hosting fees alone! Now you see why, as a Commercial Web Design Specialist...THERE ARE NO LIMITS! Our staff of Student Counselors and Advisors will help to properly structure your proposed curriculum, and answer any questions you may have when your call is returned.
