Re: [Audyssey] LWorks says goodbye to machine based licensing, and hello to a new Judgment day
Hi, I didn't have a recovery partition because it was a custom built desktop, but that wasn't the problem anyway. The problem was when I replaced the motherboard and processor do to a hardware failior the Vista license key was no longer valid, and microsoft wanted to charge almost full price for a new key. That was completely rediculous. What i ended up having to do is simply blow the drive away and install Linux so I'd have something to use since the XP and Vista disks I had for the system were now worthless. Although, eventually I picked up an OEM copy of Vista for $125, repartitioned the drive, and setup a multiboot on the system.

It cusks that you couldn't use the recovery partition in that case...this hp had one but I formatted it, not knowing what it was.

Re: [Audyssey] LWorks says goodbye to machine based licensing, and hello to a new Judgment day
which is why when I build a custom system I make sure that if something fails that I can get things working again. Its nice to have someone build the system for you. If something breaks they know what goes in so they will find something that will work.

[Audyssey] MOTA Progress Report
Hello everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know that the release of Mysteries of the Ancients beta 4 will be delayed for a few days do to some unforseen computer issues. For those of you who don't already know I was performing an operating system upgrade on my main desktop computer when I accidently whiped out the master boot records. Which, of course, resulted in me not being able to boot any of the operating systems installed on that computer. Fortunately, I did manage to recover lots of critical information such as financial records, the source code for my games, and various other things. Although, I did manage to lose lots of material such as audio books, described movies, and so on that could not fit on my external hard drive. In the end I've spent the passed five days reinstalling all of my Windows and Linux applications as well as trying to redownload various books, movies, etc I lost when I reinstalled everything. For that reason I might not be able to get back to Mysteries of the Ancients for a few days yet.

Re: [Audyssey] LWorks says goodbye to machine based licensing, and hello to a new Judgment day
Hi Shaun, Actually, I hand build all of my desktops, because they tend to be more reliable, run better, and use higher quality hardware than you get with the name brand computers like Del, Compaq, Gateway, etc. There is a good reason why someone can walk into Wal-Mart today, pickup a Compaq desktop for $499, and go home with a brand new computer. The reason being is often times the hardware components in those computers are whatever they could get in large quanities, for as little money as possible, and are whatever the manufacturer has left over from an earlier run. Not to mention they get the cheapest, most affordable software bundles, which cuts the cost of the computer, but isn't necessarily the most desirable for anyone with a reasonable amount of computer skills. For example, the Compaq notebook I purchased last year comes with Windows Vista Home Basic on it. Well, for the average computer user that is probably ok, but there are definitely some disadvantages to using Vista Basic instead of Ultimate. One of them is Home Basic will not allow you to change your security polacies because the security manager, secpol.msc, is missing in Home Basic. In Vista Ultimate if I want to fully customize User Account Control all I need to do is go to the admin tools, launch the security polacy manager, and tell it what features i want/don't want. In Home Basic User Account is on or off. No way to change its settings. That really sucks, because you can't fully customize the operating system like you can with Ultimate. Anyway, the point of this e-mail is to say building your own custom computer sounds geeky, but you get to choose exactly what you want, how you want it, and it is fully customizable. It costs a lot more up front but it usually pays for itself in the end. A good heavy duty name brand power supply that costs $75 is probably going to last you longer than some no name wong foo power supply that costs $35. I try to build my computers with stability, reliability, and long term use in mind rather than try and sell x number of computers with the least cost possible. Of course the obvious disadvantage is that since I am fronting the cost for everything, putting it together myself, etc I can't just send it into Del, Compaq, or someone if something gets broken. I have to do that myself which most of the time isn't a big deal since my desktop systems are usually very low maintainance anyway. However, when something goes wrong like a system gets hit by lightning, a motherboard dies, whatever it seriously burns my rear that Microsoft will charge me for a new product key for Windows just because I had to replace a hardware component. However, I think product activation and machine specific keys are here to stay.
