Biggest rip off of the year

They are charging $19.95 for a piece of software that turns something off in
Windows XP that can be done in 5 seconds yourself if you know what you're
looking for. Talk about exploiting the ignorant!

Why not just write a program yourself? You could do it with VBScript but
then anyone would know how it was done so a C++ program with a pretty
interface would be better.

Tell you what, I'll write it, you market it, and we'll split the profits
50/50 :-)

And the purchase page doesn't appear to be encrypted in any way?
Sending a card number over an open connection?

Full credit to the guy imo. I'd love to know how much he makes out of it.

Well at least he's offering a product and one that presumably works.
Ok, it's only 7 clicks or less to do it yourself.. but.. at least it's
not anti-ageing cream or 'How to get rich by sitting at home surfing
the net' booklets..

I'd say it reads "14yr old kid who thinks he knows it all" but knows
only enough to set up the page and flog a bit of pants s/w :-)

Still if there are some that will fall for it then its their loss.

Or it could read "14yr old kid with intelligence who got off his ass and
created
something to earn himself some extra cash".

He's not forcing anyone to buy it.

Good luck to him. Pitty the poor sod who falls^H^H^H^H^Hbuys it.

Want to buy a speed camera detector? A little red light illuiminates
if there is a camera within 150 miles of you, only 20 quid. I can do a
delux version for 50 quid that has an additional green light to
illuminate if there is a camera within 300 miles. Self powered, you
just have to replace the battery when it runs out.

Gaurantted to work or your money back.
