Don't install it? All computers (Win2kSp3 or XP SP1 minimum) will be updated. No questions. Any deity worthy of a graven image can cobble up a working universe complete with fake fossils in under a week - hey, if you're not omnipotent, there's no real point in being a god. But to start with a big ball of elementary particles and end up with the duckbill platypus without constant twiddling requires a degree of subtlety and the ability to Think Things Through: exactly the qualities I'm looking for when I'm shopping for a Supreme Being.

The only way would be to make the CDs playable only on Windblows machines, and I don't think the music industry is ready to give up that many sales just to make sure the CDs can't be pirated. ~~~)-Steven---- "I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

It won't. - (inthane-chan) - Jan. 21, 2003, 11:04:47 AM EST

Couldn't you still just rip the songs with a MP3 Ripper? - (orion) - (8) - Feb. 5, 2003, 10:51:38 PM EST

You wouldn't need the MP3 step to do that. - (static) - (7) - Feb. 6, 2003, 06:31:50 AM EST

WAV=Original audio; MP3=LOSSY-compressed. So why use MP3 ?!? -NT - (CRConrad) - (4) - Feb. 6, 2003, 04:23:47 PM EST

Because MP3 saves on hard drive space - (orion) - (3) - Feb. 6, 2003, 10:45:14 PM EST

We were talking about burning CDs, see thread start subject. -NT - (CRConrad) - (2) - Feb. 7, 2003, 02:28:54 AM EST

Yes but if you cannot burn a CD because it is protected - (orion) - (1) - Feb. 8, 2003, 03:28:21 PM EST

There's always the 'analog hole', true... -NT - (imric) - Feb. 8, 2003, 04:48:10 PM EST

Well, yes. - (static) - Feb. 7, 2003, 06:16:06 AM EST
