    He's going down. He's going to be impeached. Why are we in Iraq fighting a POPULAR insurrection? Reuters just reported 17 marines were ambushed and killed, their lives unceremoniously snuffed out. They were fighting for Iraqis? No! They were fighting for Bush's political future. Fucking hell I miss Oswald.

    Yes, they have to check the acceptance box to install it, at least on the one app I used that had gator, that's how it worked. Afaik, they don't install gator without explicitly getting permission from the user. As a linux user, I really don't care, to me, the more virus's and crap like gator that there are for windows, the more likely people are to switch to Linux :-)
