I'm pretty sure Apple's iTunes agreement has something like the following...

"...Using this software for the development of nuclear technology is strictly prohibited."

If not iTunes, it was some other small application that nobody would...rofl...use for nukes.

So, yes, you'd be suprised what you find in EULAs

Every update is screwed one way or the other.
Pi**n me OFF.
Sorry guy's, just had to get that of. I'm not in my 20's anymore and don't have the time to play all day and night. If I find some time I would like to enjoy the game and not getting even more PO'd from work and/or RL !!!

I just set ZA to deny/block the two new punkbuster services and haven't had any problems yet. If ZA has to ask you what to do then it might boot you out of the game or at least alt-tab you out. Worked for me anyway.

Hmm, that would mean they only perform local actions and just need to be running... possible.

I used to have ZA but got rid of it because of the many problems I had with online gaming. Those popup balloons (which ask for permission) are sometimes unreachable with alt+tab, alt+enter or whatever combination to get out of a game and I got really sick of 'hanging' games. It 's good to keep an eye on your traffic though.

It will just periodically kick you out of the game for not having pb fully installed. It does that to me now and Ive reinstalled it allready without any sucess.

I might as well disable the services as they take up 100 meg at times and then I get kicked for not having them working anyway
