MY BITCH OF THE DAY...
more info here
http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/
Microsoft's New Validation Policy
Microsoft has started a new policy of authenticating the Windows operating system. Previously when a user has installed Windows they had to activate the OS with Microsoft online or by phone. One could understand why Microsoft put the activation process into place, with all the pirating that was taking place with early verisons of Windows.
Now Microsoft has taken authentication of the Microsoft Validation to a whole new level. Starting now, they will be checking your operating system every month. Now, I'm not saying this development is bad or good. I'm just wondering what impact this has on our daily lives. Ever since I received an email stating this new policy I've been wondering why Microsoft felt the need to validate each copy of Windows every month and have come up with a couple of reasons why...
First, I'm sure that each month they uncover more and more previously activated Product Key's and therefore as they find out about them, they deactivate the key codes that look like they're pirated. What this means to you is that you need to be vigilant to follow Microsoft's license agreement and only have one computer running one license at a time. If you have two computers and activated the second computer by calling Microsoft to get around the online activation failure, they will be able to detect that 2 different computers are running off of one license and shut both down. There go any critical updates and extras you would otherwise get by staying legal.
Second, it gives Microsoft the opportunity to poll your hardware configuration each month. This allows them not only to see if your license is running on different computers but also gives them a general idea of what Windows users use hardware-wise. They'll know when you change video cards, motherboards, CPUs, add memory, etc. Is this a big deal? That's not for me to say. I don't mind but I'm sure there are people who would mind. With this information they can aggregate the data and sell it to companies who use that type of information and/or build new software programs that can take advantage of new hardware once they know there is a greater number of users who can run the new software, thus optimizing their ability to sell software.
One of the potential impacts I see is bandwidth. If Microsoft is checking every Windows user every month then that is however many millions of checks that get sent to Redmond, WA. Doing it once per install is one thing but now this number of checks gets multiplied by 12. Could have an impact on their bottom line at the very least, and they'll of course pass this cost on to it's customers...meaning a higher cost of software in the future.
Nothing to get alarmed about but it is something to think about.

ddp is a bit omnipotent today XD
My three bitches:
1) I come home from a hard day ^.^ and want some dinner quick and fast. Found some microwave add milk mac and cheese. I destroyed it, long story short burnt dinner.
2) I go upstairs (Tired and somewhat hungry) to take a shower. I take a 15 minute shower, get out, and step in an ankle high puddle! So I go about (half naked) searching for the leak. I find it behind the whole plumbing system attached to the bathtub, in pvc piping. I get my PVC pipe repair kit, and go about fixing the thing. Normally this wouldn't be such a problem, unless, like me, you live in an 150 year old house. I touch an ancient copper pipe (Which I now know was connected to the water heater) and I get like fourth degree burns on my elbow. (Exaguration) but still.
3) My bathroom will be full of water until tomorrow when I can get a plumber out to this sh*t hole.
-edit: Nice quote there. I'm going to put it in my sig!

My bitch: I left a black permanent marker in a shirt pocket when I did my laundry last night. Now I'll have to buy a bunch of new dress shirts and use the other for painting etc. What a pain in the butt. Seems to me they should make permanent markers that wash out.

tranquash already covered the permanent thing and gave you an apology but I have to add to his post.;-)
gerry1 you have given me the laugh of the morning. NOthing evil/malicious intended but that's funny man. Washable permanent markers. I've got to market those. hehehe.
OK on to me complaint of the day.
Frikkin anti-biotic medication that my daughter took last night caused her even more problems than the earache she already had. Up until 2:30 am with regurgitation and heaving. Eeeeeewwwwww I know but she's better now. :)
