I just saw Foo Fighters in concert a couple weeks ago, and was looking forward to buying thier album. I guess this nixes that plan. :sigh: Josh Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have a back-ache...

You can still buy it. You just need to disable the autorun and import it into iTunes or WMP or something.
Picture a huge catholic cathedral. In it there's many people, including a gregorian monk choir. You know, those who sing beautifully. Then they start singing, in latin, as they always do: "Ad hominem..." -Jörgen Sigvardsson

It's more that I don't want to support Sony's horrible business practices. I know the workarounds, I just choose not to support a company that forces me to go to such lengths to protect my system security. Josh Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have a back-ache...

No lie. Between Weezer's set and then Foo Fighters following them, it was one of the best shows I've seen in years. At least I still have the memories... Josh Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have a back-ache...

Last night I tested my computers at home that I let it autorun on. Not infected. The key is to NOT install their "player". The dvd side of the disc just has a normal dvd material on it w/ the songs in dolby digital 5.1. The cd side is fine as long as you don't let it install their "cd player".
Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
