AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! The folks at Microsoft have done it again. They've had the authentic Windows validation program around for some time now, but only within the past two days did they begin to require users to use it before downloading files. Never fear though, as it was hacked within 24 hrs with a simple bit of code which one places in the URL bar and presses enter at the custom/express update screen before proceeding: javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

Got back from the UT Honors Colloquium yesterday. Pretty interesting. May talk about more if it behooves me.
