    Sorry to all who had to go through this. Trolls are plenty here tonight. Must be a flock of @home kiddies who are upset that they soon will not be able to get their porn.

    Get it right.

    I am sorry, is that to be a complete English sentence? What am I to get right? Your clip-and-copy from a dictionary web site?

    You sound uneducated

    Actually I sound and am very educated. Going by the dictionary (from which your cheaply clipped-and-copied from) both "there" and "their" are pronounced (thâr). Given this information, there would be no way to "sound" differently.

    sniff .. sniff .. yeppers ... It's a case of karma envy.

    Please in the future .. get some balls and submit post with your real name if you desire to troll. Later you 'Peep'.

    You did not start your sentence with a capital letter and also did not end your sentence with a period.

    Here is one for the ages. This is the original CNET article discussing the Exite and @Home merger.

    As you read through this pay very close attention to what Jermoluk says. Funny stuff.

    Internet flop #1 has just happened before our eyes.

    I should have stated it ...

    For every $1.00 they spent for Excite ...
    They now have 0.00149 cents of it left.

    OR .. For every $9.00 spent for excite they now have $0.01.

    Probably go down in history as the biggest internet screw-up there has ever been.

    For an extra million I heard disney would have thrown go.com in :-P

    Cox has already stated (check Q6) that it will credit its customers for the lost time. I would be willing to bet that all providers will do the same, given the situation.

    Excite@Home is no more .. its only @Home .. Excite was sold off for 10 million to .. cant remember and I am to darn pissed off to look it up.

    Just to do the math ...
    Buys Excite for 6.7 BILLION
    Sells Excite for 10 million

    Thats a return of 0.00149 cents to every dollar spent!!!

    Now lets put that 6.7 million into a puny saving account and pulls 2% interest .. They make 134 million (before taxes) plus still have the 6.7 BILLION principle. (I know that 6.7 BILLION is not there money, but rather investors, bond, stocks, loans, etc .. BUT STILL ... GAWD!!! Mucho Grande Pipe Dream was going on at @Home!!)

    was the name. And how the prices of many stocks were inflated was by "pump and dump" on Yahoo/AOL message boards.

    This article also states that the SEC wanted it all. Lebed said not without a fight. SEC turned around and said .. ok give us some of it and keep the rest.

    maybe the American anti-virus peeps arnt going to do anything about it .. but you can bet your bottom dollar that every other country out there will have "Anti-Carnivore" virus detection.

    "I be thinking" that Moscow, Bejing and the rest are going to want to have FBI viruses running around there systems and will have the means to terminate it. In fact in regards to propaganda ... the countries will come out and give the virus detection software away for free just to be able to say "See .. even your people hate you FBI!"

    In fact I am surprised that these countries are not bringing up the issue that this could almost be consider a form of "spying", "terrorism", or even "digital warfare".

    The carnivore virus is some upper FBI officers pipe dream.

    ahh .. and this idea brought to your buy the same people whom wanted the "Clipper Chip".

    But one would have to wonder ... Would a software program whos only goal is to find and exterminate this FBI, big brother, "virus" be considered illegal and be regarded as destruction of FBI property?

    6.7 billion dollars (of someone elses money) for a pathetic excuse of a company with nothing more then a search engine, news feeds, and no clue what to make money on, (which by the way is worth around only $250,000 today) .. and tell me how long your company can stay afloat ..

    is not as much the censorship, as to the notion that if you give a little, your going to end up giving alot. Right now, they block porn, gay, lesbian, and all things deemed at "wrong" by our "big brother". As that expands it may cover other areas, sites, topics on the web which today arn't "censored" The greatest fear I have since they can do it with the internet which is a source of media is that the federal government restricts federal money only to those organizations that do not have or remove certain books/magazines/videos/music.

    This is because Linux is so bloody user-unfriendly.

    Only to the clueless is it user-unfriendly. I find the lack of any decent command line to be very unfriendly and process control in Windows to be a total kludge.

    "They are so sophisticated that they have huge secutrity holes, or don't work properly, or constantly work against rather than with the user."Yet another clearly biased blanket statement with little factual basis.

    Not sure .. but last time I checked McAfee Virus Shield is a something that has never been ported to UNIX. I also can not remember the last time "mail" has ever had a macro attack.
