Piriform Asks BleachBit To Remove Winapp2.ini Importer

ahziem writes "As author of the BleachBit system cleaner, I received a polite but firm request from Piriform, makers of the similar application CCleaner, to remove a two-year-old feature from BleachBit that allows individual BleachBit users to import winapp2.ini data files created by the community that define which files to delete for applications. Does Piriform's request have merit? Do I need a lawyer? What is a good response to avoid any ugly situation?"

True, but there's really any advice that you should ask for from ./er's? How to meet members of the opposite sex?

Last time I followed advice from Slashdot on the chicks, I got a visit from the Sheriff's Department.

Basement dwelling tips, thats probably safe. Best Pizza outfits, also a good bet.

I think she might have been into the "bondage" thing, because she cuffed me.

Did she cuff you before or after you put on your robe and wizard hat?

"Do I need a lawyer?" is a question that only a qualified lawyer such as myself can answer.

Let's call that a half hour.

She was ok with that, but when I showed her my gnarly staff, she reached for the cuffs.

I put out a CD ripping program years ago (not gonna link it because its dated and useless by todays standards) but in the ToS, I wrote that I was given the right to each users first born child as well as hand jobs from any male users girlfriend... I dont think that would hold up in court if i pushed it, but it WAS in my programs ToS

And asking about the best keyboard will get you more people claiming to have 10 Model M's in their closet just in case their main one dies than there were Model M's manufactured in the first place.

"Model M's are indestructible and last forever. In fact I have 10 spares just in case and no I will never sell any of them." I swear, they're worse than CAT people!

I am a lawyer and I'm your lawyer. Just ignore the e-mail. This is legal advice.

They don't last forever but this one's been going quite a while now. No need to hoard, though, unless Unicomp goes out of business.

I used that software. After the birth of my first son, I tried to contact you, but I was unable to. Now that I've found you, you can take delivery of my son. I'm also going to have to charge you for 5 years of back child support. I mean, he was your property that I took care of after all. I am due compensation. I'm sure the court will side with me after reading the TOS that you published.

Oh god, kill me now. I just read that in Jar Jar's voice.
