Windows XP has a built-in worm that lets The Big M erase your hard drive if they think you're running an illegal copy of XP. When XP first came out the virus scanners of the time detected the worm, but were unable to remove it. Now modern virus scanners are designed to ignore the worm.
You can get cracks to disable the worm, but every time you install a hot-fix or service pack via Windows Update, the worm will reinitalize itself. _________________ "Robots don't say 'ye'."

Well what if your elbow isn't attached properly or at all? hmm?
Also isn't the "US Independence" or some similar named boat a national monument? it gets sailed at least once each year as that is how it stays "commisioned"
Spoiling is a lose term... you could make honey spoil, depending upon what is considered spoiling, and also fruitcake, its good for years... ^_^ _________________ The problem with America is stupidity.
