Well, I can't see that being a problem, as long as you include the
source code 8^P
;)
He's in the doghouse anyway... apparently the
software for his Zune
deletes the file from the disc when you remove something from the
"music collection". Doesn't even ask if you want to delete them,
and doesn't go through the Recycle Bin either. Such an amazing
decision could only come from The Beast of Redmond.
The clincher is that he mounted the MUSIC share on the fileserver
as a drive on his PC... then set that as his Zune Collection
folder. You can guess what happened. "Oh, I don't like Status Quo,
Queen or Goo Goo Dolls.. *delete*. Tina Dico? *delete*"... I now
have 14 albums that need re-ripping or buying again as MP3s from
Amazon (some of them were originally bought from iTunes when it was
the "only game in town".. and then promptly had the DRM stripped
with MyFairTunes).
You can insult me all you like, but deleting stuff from //FILESHARE/
MUSIC... that's taking a serious disregard for one's safety.
Especially when I warned him not to point the Zune software at the
music share..... At this point he'll be lucky if he gets his LAN
connection back. Or I might connect him back up through a 10Mbit
hub with a machine constantly blasting out garbage packets - that
could be fun :-)
Wow. Just...wow.
What a
moron. No offense (to you) intended.
See above. 8^)
Indeed. :-(
