ya... but dont let it crash on you...

of coz, protecting the privacy of the artists is important... song writer spend their time and effort writing nice songs... artists spend their time recording songs... just like programmers, spending their time and effort writing a program... as for me... - i do spend money on CD... but not a lot... - i no longer download from the internet (i dont want to get fine)... good boy huh... but things they should consider and improve: 1. not many people will be willing to spend lots of money to buy albums... whether in the past or now... especially teens... is just too expensive (in S'pore 1 CD cost about SGD$20 with 10 tracks)... so if you have 1000 audio files in your com, you are spending about SGD$2000!!! 2. if you dont consider buying, even they dis-allow downloading from the internet, you still wont buy... 3. a group of people come together and buy 1 album, pass around and then rip the album into their computer... so a CD cost SGD$20 and 20 people gather to buy 1 and share... so each spend SGD$1... how much will the recording company make...? 4. how many times will people buy a album just for 1 or 2 songs...? i know some will... me...? nah... no that song wont die... 5. majority of the people (me included) will buy album if only they support the artist, or that particular album is very nice (i do this also)... 6. when you buy a album... then most of the time you will rip the album into let say *.MP3 into your com... so what happen to the album after that...? hah! i hardly touch those CD... they are inside my drawer...

such a expensive toy huh...

yes... the files deleted are still recoverable... the new version 1.27.242, which is still in BETA http://www.ccleaner.com/beta/, include a secure file deletion function, which over writes files a couple of times depending on which option used... even it is so, the files are still recoverable, but extremely difficult and require lots of effort...

what are you talking about... nobody is to be blamed anyway... of coz we, as consumers dont blame ourselves for the poor codes written by MS... WE PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE!!! the only time we should be blamed is when we get a stupid malware installed by opening email attachments etc... we should be responsible for our own actions... right...? i dont know why IE7 installer weigh at 11MB... maybe there are tons of codes in there... it wont be my default browser now... it wont be even the stable version is released later in the future... i will stick with FireFox unless something horrible happen... then i will look for something else... maybe IE... maybe not... i actually believed there are reasons behind for IE7 to support only only 3 platform... like Win95, it have finished its product life cycle phase... and Win98 etc have entered its extended support phase... but ultimately it wont support other OS for sure... i wont blame Windows OS for the reason it contains bugs... as all software out there available have... of coz FireFox is good... if not many of us wont be using it... enjoying a good discussion with you...

he sure look silly...

too cool to be a toy...

ya... it does work with Microsoft Update as well... i have been using it for quite some time...

but using a headset will damage hearing for sure... is that guy complaining crazy...?

any prize for that...?

i wont say which browser is actually easier to use... it depends on the user itself... but its sure a shame that IE7 only support WinXP w/SP2 and Win2003 Server... but MS said "some of the security work in IE7 relies on operating system functionality in XPSP2" i dont know about this... but i believe that everyone should upgrade to SP2 if possible... you cannot completely blame MS for all the flaws in Windows OS... just that too many people around the world uses it... if now, let say everyone uses Apple Macintosh OSX, the same thing will happen... people will start to hack Apple Macintosh OSX... their Safari web browser... i read somewhere online that some flaws are actually from the patch itself, as this disclose some security issues that existed in Windows OS, so hackers can look into this area and create another flaws...

i LMAO too...

and me!

is not a complete set of cursor... but it sure look nice...

no biased towards MS... i dont like them nor i hate them... one example of things i like is the Windows Defender... even through it is not as good as the GIANT Antispyware... and currently having a lot of stability and usability issues but it seems to be the best antispyware that offer at no charge... hope it will get better and better in time to come... at least they decided to offer it for FREE... then about 1 thing that i dislike about MS is their MSN Messenger... so bloated... Windows Messenger so ugly... they cant design a nice IM... at least not for now... maybe Live Messenger will do it...? i agree that MS products are expensive... but so as other apps like Adobe... Macromedia (which is now known as Adobe)... thats why i normally goes with freeware or open source programs (or education edition of shareware)... of coz MS products are not the greatest... thats why i replace many of their apps with alternatives... oh anyway... i hate software companies registering new extensions on their newer version of program... thats make the older version unable to open files created in the new version...

not very sure if they do tht... but ti would be nice if they take negative feedbacks... there are things that i dislike about MS... but there are few things that i appreciate... just some personal perferences...

i believe CDex also do conversion to/from *.ogg

i run ccleaner everynow and then when i feel like doing so... moer than once, twice a day... and everything before i switch off my com...

1 question here... when future security updates or service packs release... will it ever uninstall the current hotfixes updates in Windows...? if yes... then wont deleting the current hotfixes installers cause problems...?

ya... i use portable firefox in school... here in campus every1 (maybe not all) people use IE6... i hate that... coz it doesnt have tabbed browsing...

maybe u can start 1 topic titled: "What I Dislike About MS" then send it to MS... maybe it may be a suggestion board to them from members of CCleaner...

ya... i mean generally all Office Apps... MS Office... OpenOffice... including AbiWord etc... i love tabbed! i also hope to see tabbed in Explorer... MSN Messenger (Live Messenger <- i dont like the name) conversion... etc... tabbed browsing EVERYWHERE! i know that the Messenger Plus provide this function... but i dont feel safe to install it... also adviced by some friends in this forum... MS have tabbed in Visual Studio.NET 2003 and i personally dont need those nice nice cute cute icons... if i ever get WinVista, i will switch to Classic Interface (Win2000)

actually no good reason... but thts what i always do...

Winamp for me... i tried MusicMatch JB before which came bundle with my Zip Drive... but remove it shortly... Winamp for audio... and WMP for audio CD, movie clips and anything else... my Winamp operates in the system tray and use about 3000K of resources...

i like the interface... quite clean... but not used to it since it is removing away from the traditional Windows apps... and moving towards WinVista style... seems like MS is doing fine as IE7 have many new and interesting functions... not always useful... maybe except for Saturday... but there is 1 thing in FireFox that will prevent me from discarding it... the Ctrl+F... thats also the reason why i didnt switch to Opera Browser either... even it seems to be a bit faster and with better functionalities... i hope to see the Ctrl+F and tabbed browsing functions everywhere (bear with me here )... including Office Word etc.
