>This is true it's not a joke ! >----------------------------------------------------------- Well, it's gotta be! You really suck. While I'll personally shoot and skin Bill Gates for getting into my regestry, I don't mind it from Blizzard. Heck, the way you're freaking out and cowering into a corner, I'd guess you're a cracker, cheater, lamer, or whatever. If Blizzard can eliminate people like you from the world, it will suddenly be a much happier place. >I am writing to inform ya and the rest of the world about blizzards >unacceptable >behaviour. This was first spoted by Beowulf of rzr and I give him full >credit, I >am so disturbed about his discovery that I feel I have to let people >know.So far >no one seems to care with Starcraft players being to preoccupied in >their games.... HA! Thanks, I need a good laugh every now an then. To the rest of the world, I'm the only one stupid enough to actually read past the first 2 lines of your stupid post, and I hate myself for it. Noone is going to give you a happy little reply saying "You're right, DoonMan, we were all fools to trust Blizzard, Something must be done! Let's not buy BroodWars in protest." And so the legion of morons not only leaves more copies of BW in the stores for us, but they give us something to laugh at. >Apparently Starcraft being a program running on your pc is privliged by >the os to >access the registry of win95 and illegaly extract sensitive information >about ya, >like name and e-mail address. You're such a paranoid moron. If Bill Gates can do the very same thing and get away with it alive, I'm just fine with Blizzard doing it. Heck, if they're using this stuff for world domination or something, the guys at Blizzard are probably the best rulers we could have :) >According to beowulf this are the keys beign accessed >HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MS Setup (ACME)\User Info\DefName >HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Mail and News\Mail\Sender >Name >HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape Navigator\User\User_Name >HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Mail and News\Mail\Sender >EMail >HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\User\User_Addr >HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Kali\Kali95\User Info\email baaah. And what will they do with this info? Catch cheaters, lamers, and people with the hacked versions!

You only think it's unacceptible because: 1. You may be a cheater or have a hacked version, and they now have a way to catch you. You want to stop them from stopping you 2. You're a paranoid moron who thinks everyone's out to get him 3. You're just an idiot who thinks it's a matter of principle or something 4. This is all a lie. You are a social retard and are trying to get yourself killed. >Finally I enclose the proof, as presented again by beowulf which I thank >for his >discovery. I feel I can never trust my pc anymore,and how cna we know >that microsoft hasnt >been doing that for years. Of course MS has been doing it for years, and that's not even the reason I wouldn't be caught dead with Win98 on my computer, it's because it sucks. Anyway, if they don't do anything about MS, Blizzard is not in the wrong. >I have since verified this for myself..and it is true.. >they even extracted my local settings i.e country etc... >this is sooo lame and i am soo pissed off please make sure the word is >out on how >lame they are..if they dont get a response they will jsut keep on doing >it You probably get pissed off pretty easy, huh? ya, he just thinks it's a matter of principal. Heck, I dont' care. MAYBE, just maybe I would care more if you didn't make it sound like an 8 year old was typing this! -- Danny Hale -Wazat- c21@lingthing.com ICQ#8191451 -55 new weapons for quake-: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Labyrinth/2011/index.html When my monitor explodes and kills me, my cat inherits everything I own.
