In the mean time, stop running these super-double-secret beta programs that you're bragging about on an online forum at the same time as you're running EVE. EVE is a pretty busy game, and unless these other programs are batch processing programs that need to sit and calculate for a while, there's no reason they need to remain open while you're playing EVE. I agree that a send/don't send button would be nice, but in the end the NDA is your responsibility not CCPs and I wouldn't be running ANYTHING at the same time as a program whose publicized existence could make me liable.
First, I believe you need to look up the definition of "bragging". I was not bragging, I was merely stating an example. Also, I'm not sure what game you're playing, but EVE is generally not a 'busy' game. Except during instances of combat, a lot of EVE can be played with it in a window with only one eye paying attention to things happening while you actually do useful things in another window.
Also, I am aware that it's my responsibility, which is why I was asking for the ability to opt into the data collection with the ability to review the data being sent so that I can verify what CCP is collecting and make the determination on if the data can be sent. The alternatives are to not load EVE while doing other things (which may be a blessing in some respects) or take actions to block their crash reporting system (which wouldn't be of benefit to anybody as they would then never receive a crash report as I would just set it and forget it).
I honestly don't get why people are still on about this. CCP said "Hey, awesome crash collection stuff coming up!" to which the question was asked "Is it optional?" CCP quite reasonably said "Oops, not now but we'll make it so!" and everything was fine. I would have preferred it be optional on launch but, again, a Dev gave a reasonable alternative if there were any reservations about the system until they could add the opt in, and again, everything was fine.
Then people came out of the woodwork with "if you have nothing to hide..." crap which is why some of us were giving examples of why we would indeed care. Regardless of how relevant you think they are, I do appreciate that CCP has addressed the concerns.
