Kurt,

We all knew that it was coming. The question was, when?

I just found this...

Description of the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) validation check in the
Microsoft Windows Update Web site
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;898588

It says...
[[Note Windows Update version 5 and Automatic Updates are not affected by a
WGA validation check.]]

I don't really understand that statement, I use Windows Update version 6.

Better hurry...

Windows Genuine Advantage Offers
http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/offers/default.aspx

Trade 'em, Sell 'em, Make Friends. :-D

The truth is one, you must accept it. Reality is not a point of view, since
if everything was a point a view, then the theory that everything is a point
of view, is just a point a view and not something real.

Of course one should not confuse not guilty with innocent. In the USA,
everyone (except for detainees, of course) is presumed innocent until proven
guilty.

And if you'd like to marry off your daughter to OJ, and send you son to
Neverland, you have that right.

I have that right regardless of what I would want my sons and daughters to
do. For now, anyway. If Bush appoints a wacko born again fundie xtian as a
supreme court justice, all bets are off regarding civil rights in the USA,
aka JesusLand.

Personally, I think Michael is innocent, the family are money grubbing
grifters and his considering moving to Europe and selling Neverland is a
good idea.

As far as OJ is concerned, I didn't follow that case as I didn't have
Internet then and it wasn't considered news in Spain at the time.

I'm kinda hoping it happens. To wake up those normally apathetic to
what their government does.

So you think it is alright that a 40-something single man sleep with
pre-teen and young teenage boys?

I think it is disgusting, whether is a Priest or a former Pop Star, and
anyone that thinks it is OK should have their head examined under a
microscope.

OJ was one of my sports heroes. I even rooted for him to get his 2000
yards against my Jets. The glove fit, it just didn't fit over rubber
gloves too.

While juries let OJ and MJ walk, that doesn't mean they are innocent.
Just lucky that they had such incompetent California prosecutors.
