Thanks, but I'm not clicking on a link that starts with 'torrentfreak' unless I know a lot more about it.

It appears to be a safe sight with an unfortunate name!
I tried to find anything on the Internet that disputes this but I could not.
A very sad and maddening read.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

The site probably only has an unfortunate name. It does not appear anything like the typical "torrent". It has articles and articles and essays...
Avira says, it is safe. I clicked on it and read the article but for me there is nothing new.

This is the author of that article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_FalkvingeFounder of the Pirate Party? What do you guys think of that? This thread topic needs a little more unbiased research I think. Bob

I though copyright laws prohibited the copying and commercial use of material. Surely it is not illegal to alter a code provided you do not sell it. Anyway most farmers today are probably pushed to know all the operating tricks on todays technology, let alone to start to fix things. Just think about all the software you use in recording. It's hard enough getting it all to work in the first place, and if it broke I wouldn't have a clue how to fix it. Anyway, software doesn't breakdown, if it stops working, then it has reached a situation for which it was not programmed for, or it is buggy, which means it didn't work properly in the first place. Which doesn't change things though, software manufacturers have you by the short and curlys

I don't know that it's as bad as all that necessarily. I have a friend who does all kinds of rebuilds, he rarely uses the original engine management computer, let alone the associated software.
Of course, then you have companies like BMW whose systems "phone home" when being serviced and if there are "unauthorised" changes they simply restore to factory settings automatically...

I didn't need to click the link because I saw this in a story somewhere else a few days back.
Car and tractor manufacturers apparently, are keeping the software that runs the computer in the car or tractor proprietary so folks can not hack it easily or alter it. This is leaving many folks with inoperable equipment in some cases.
You own the tractor or car, but not the software that runs it. Makes you nostalgic for points and condensers again..... yes?

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Makes you nostalgic for points and condensers again..... yes? True but the bigger picture is emissions and fuel economy. The only way to have a smelly, dirty engine that runs on fossil fuels produce a clean exhaust plus get better and better economy is through sophisticated computers controlling an electronic ignition, electronic fuel injection, electronic variable valves and all that. Companies spend millions developing these computer programs and should be protected. I know you're old enough to remember this. It's 1970 on a hot summers day with no wind and you're stuck in a traffic jam. The exhaust fumes were enough to make the Hulk pass out but hey, you had points and a condenser... Bob

Hmmm, nuh, not really, but it IS a hell of a lot *cheaper and considerably easier to maintain - not all mechanics are created equal... Not to mention the incredible variability in quality of what passes for fuel these days Of course, something that never seems to come up with the car manufacturers is water injection - water injection has considerable benefits when used correctly. (voice of experience, not theory) *'tis a shame the savings aren't passed on to the consumer though. Or perhaps they are but indirectly in that we're getting more in the rest of the car for our buck than we would have... I need to think about that.

Manufacturers fear the real possibility their electronics maybe compromised and abused.
Fairly recently some hackers demonstrated how easy it is to high jack the data and control system of a car through the OBII port located inside the passenger compartment of every US car since 1996. That is one of the real fears manufacturers face as we progress toward the self driving car. ON STAR and similar services can remotely disable any vehicle equipped to communicate with them. Even if you don't use the service, the capability is present.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
