US Government Checking Up On Vista Users?
Paris The Pirate writes "This article at Whitedust displays some very interesting logs from Vista showing connections to the DoD Information Networking Center, United Nations Development program and the Halliburton Company; for no reason other than the machine was running Vista. From the article 'After running Vista for only a few days — with a complete love for the new platform the first sign of trouble erupted. I began noticing latency on my home network connection — so I booted my port sniffing software and networking tools to see what was happening. What I found was foundation shaking. The two images below show graphical depictions of what has and IS trying to connect to my computer even in an idle state'."
I'm not blaming Bush in the sense you are pointing out. Sure, a lot of presidents have been guilty of these actions, I don't deny that. What I was doing with that example was simply bringing up the most recent case which seemed to fit into this article's particular category.
Don't focus on one particular example. Take the whole thing in. I'm not making a huge verbal attack on the Bush administration. I don't really care for the Bush administration. What I'm conveying relates to the Government as a whole, albeit whichever administration is in control at the moment.
