At my school (which my parents pay a lot of money to send me to), they have banned web mail access, and force us to use the school exchange server. The admins then read our mail if there are any swear words, teachers names etc mentioned. So is this a violation of our personal privacy? Especially since we are not allowed to use personal, non-school accounts. However, I wrote an outlook vba plugin that encrypts text in 40 bit encryption based on a passphrase. Now none of the messages are picked up by the admin.
Yes, It would be great, but in other peoples bandwidth challenged countries (like mine... england), the government owns the air waves. The only form of transmission that you could use is cb stuff. Doh!
I agree totally. But what about people that use the nice sugar coated gui world, as well as emacs to plough through your config files? I love using linux, its so refreshing and you have a lot more control over your environment. I still manually tweak all my config files even though I am running helix-code. I need a wordprocessor, so I use applix. The beautiful thing about the newer distributions is that they cater for the full spectrum of users. Oh, and BTW my favourite distro of all time is still RH5.2
When I arrived at my new job, I was pleasantly surprised to see that all the new systems had winamp installed, and most had napster running. The only rule don't download metallica. It's a dot com company, and clearly a techie's company.

I hope someone invited the windows 9x team along.
