I use the machine for browsing th'interweb (I'm on it now) & for a spot of retro gaming, Dungeon Keeper Gold at the moment (surprisingly good)
As I said before; it's firewalled (hardware firewall, not some soppy software *running on windows* rubbish) so is perfectly safe.
To all of the morons mentioning botnets & stuff, your milk is warm & there's a special cookie for you if you spit out your comforter....
I spent a goodly time in the book publishing industry, so am well aware of the creative pain. I was also associated, thankfully briefly, with the music industry, and am well aware of the bleeding opposite.
My younger brother spent the best part of 1975 writing a book on Advanced Stats & got it published. For the first two years he sold
Nope, however I have neither the time, nor the inclination to respond to your diatribe, unless of course I get paid a penny everytime someone reads my reply, for the rest of my life + whatever number of years your government legislates after I'm dead. Fuck, I spent a number of years in education, learning how to walk, snog, write, type, ride a bicycle, blow my nose - I should be recompensed, shouldn't I?
That's essentially what it boils down to. If I paint a wall in a neighbours house, I charge for the time it takes to paint it. I don't expect to "earn" money every time the poor sods look at the bloody wall, now do I?
It's about time we sat down & looked at this copyright/DRM lark seriously. In no other profession can you expect to earn money, 70 sodding years after you are dead, for 3 hours work.
I remember reading that induction loops were placed under Motorways (Freeways) in the UK in the 50's, to allow remote control of vehicles using the road. M4 is in the front of my mind, but I could be wrong.
Sodding problem is I can't find any reference to it:-(
This whole sorry saga just puts the two companies in silhouette. Data loss is directly caused by Microsoft & their shoddy stuff
T-Mobile, who only sells this Microsoft stuff, on hearing of the problems, immediately issues a statement & offers advice & compensation.

You, my boy, need to examine your logic. Loop; see loop.
:-) Your sig couldn't be more apposite..
Heh, you couldn't be more wrong if you stood on your head & farted to the tune of "When Johnny comes marching home again"
For you maybe. Fortunately I know what I'm doing, and have been since before you were born....
Glad to see someone else not following the herd..

Securing windows is like pushing water uphill with a sharp stick.
:-) No updates since 2003, system just stays up.
Firewall the bugger & leave it be. Works for me
Hope they're scourged thoroughly.

I'd happily scour a user.
Huh? youa noa speaka noa sensea!.
Oooh, snag a finger nail did we?

Apologies, how's this then? In no other profession can one expect to earn money.

Haha, you bought a Linksys or Netgear, didn't you?
Quality!
You could, you know, drive your car onto the train.......

Don't we have this already?
Railway trains perchance?
Prawns.
Absolutely superb.
Windows 7. Benefit.
How is that a benefit?

If every /. poster had to use one, life would be much duller :-)
Huh?

Please clarify?
PS: On a different note; you have two hopes of Nokia putting the steaming pile of shite, that is windows mobile, on their handsets: No & Bob.
Umm, I wouldn't..
You should get out more!.
Unfortunately we won't. Too much wonga to be made by Corporations.
I'm going to go down there & patent shit, then sue any sod that has a crap.
What's the world coming to?
Don't use them.
There's nothing like keeping your own data on your own system..
