    LYNX was never meant to be a substitute for a full blown browser. But, you can use it for reviewing documentation that was written in HTML which is loaded on a non GUI server. What may I ask do you need a full blown graphical browser for in that case? A minimal browser, using less resources, is all you need. Which LYNX fits that description.

    It's your choice, definitely. If citizens of a democratic state vote to reduce the scope of their government (and thereby the power of their vote), they're certainly entitled to get what they want.

    How do I lose the power of my vote by wanting smaller government. Excuse me, but that shows how powerful my vote really is that I can make a controlling entity have LESS power.

    How do you know?

    Ever hear of polls?

    Just by you HAVING to ask that question shows how little you know about the power of the vote

    I would rather give up a small bit of information about the web sites I visit then have identify theft occur which costs me legal fee's proving I am not the person using that identity. Have my bank account emptied. Have my checks deposited in someone else's bank account.

    I would love to see a statistic of the number of people that committed suicide due to the loss of their credit and possibly job due to identity theft.

    Its all about YOUR precious privacy and NEVER about the people that are losing EVERYTHING because you don't like a specific application/program/law that would help protect the victims.

    By the way, you better turn off ALL Microsoft updates. You know that Microsoft has FULL access to EVERYTHING on your computer. You know damn well they are reviewing all of it. You are nothing but a number that they are crunching for every bit of data they can get.

    Like there is to block flash.

    I do not want any video type stream to load when i am going to a web page until I have made the decision to watch it.

    That is not an anti flash statement because I do make the choice to watch a lot of flash. But it is at my discretion and not the web page designers.

    If it wasn't for flash block, I would spend all day waiting for news sites to load instead of actually reading the news. I hardly ever watch the flash on those types of sites, and they are probably the worse offenders of loading up the crap flash. Now other sites, which by the nature of the site presents its content via flash. yes, I do watch it. But, only after I have clicked the specific flash object I want.

    I have dead zones in my apartment, but I also have area's where the reception isn't that bad. I bought a blue tooth head set and put the phone down in one of the good area's. The kitchen is that area, which is pretty much in the center of the apartment. I can walk in there and dial, then am free to move where ever I want through out the rest of the apartment.

    Yes, I know it's a pain in the ass. And it will only work if you have area's in the apartment/house where you do have decent reception.

    Or, you can bundle a phone package with your internet service. And no, I am not trying to be a smart ass.

    lol OK, I had to go to Microsoft and look. I couldn't resist.

    Now, all I did was basically bring up license terms for a couple versions of Windows and do a search for nuclear. So, that's not a technical review of the license. I didn't find the word nuclear in any of my search's. Also, these were home license's that I looked at. Windows OS. I didn't check all the other products that Microsoft has that might have reference to various restricted uses.

    I would not be the least bit surprised if that restriction was spelled out, just in terms I did not think of searching for. ie: lawyer speak.

    Have ISP's take offline every machine that has been proven to issue spam until the owner cleans it to the ISP's pre defined and posted rules are met.

    Any ISP that is found to NOT enforce these rules is fined 1,000 for every spam that is found to originate from their network.

    Once these conditions are met and enforced heavily, ISP’s will go out of their way to assist identifying the origin of the infections that are causing the spam. We then hand down sentences requiring that every individual prosecuted for spam must go door to door with a representative of what ever ISP and clean peoples computers of the software issuing the spam. If the software can not be cleaned, the person that has been convicted and is cleaning these computers MUST pay to have these machines reformatted and reloaded to factory defaults. That means if there are no OS cd’s, the person must purchase them.

    These rules would accomplish a couple things.
    1). Make ISP’s responsible for keeping their networks clean.
    2). Make individuals responsible for keeping their computers clean.
    3). I’m hoping by a spammer having to clean peoples computers that some of them get the living shit kicked out of them by angry individuals.

    We have industry wide enforcement, education of individual users, and retribution sentences that make the person committing the crime to interact with his/her victims.
