That's interesting about the EULA. I haven't once seen it pop up a new EULA for me to read and accept. Honestly, I haven't read the EULA, I just remember reading from another news site that the current EULA does not include anything regarding WGA in the effect that they will be using it. Either way,...

With most of the forums I visit, I end up using quick reply without even realizing it's there, and then I go to a board without it and I'm like "where's the reply box?!" - and then after searching the whole page I realize I actually have to click a link first... :oops: So although I'm not a doofus h...

And the point is not a violation of privacy, but a possible viola...

How about getting a legal copy? :roll: If you can't afford Windows use something that is free. How would you like it if you owned a store, and you constantly had people stealing stuff from you? :roll: While I completely agree with that statement, I think a big issue with this is the issue of privac...

I also dislike Flash on sheer principle :D I completely agree, and the use of it would rule out the ability of users without flash-enabled browsers from accessing your forums. It's just simply an idea for a possible 'choice' of users, or perhaps more of an idea-stimulant rather than a suggestion to...

Isn't there a way to generate a flash file on the fly with PHP? Perhaps you could do it that way...

Here is an example of what I was talking about. PS view the Image to see the animation. :mrgreen: That's really cool, but I'd be afraid that the OCR/AI buggers would just keep turning it until it found something, and I have a feeling it'd be easier to decode a properly-turned version of what you ha...

OK, thanks for your tips/suggestions. Cheers.
