You are so full of shit you could float. (or just trolling)
The presence of flaws in software *needs* to be published and publicized.
So you agree that "Internet Security experts" (s.a: NAI) are the only "reputable" people who should research holes in software? And do what, keep the findings to themselves or their "associated" partners?
The so called hackers do a lot positive work in identifying *and publishing* holes in software, although there are others who will abuse of these vulnerabilities.
Being a blinkered donkey about potential security risks isn't the best route to go down. "If nobody tells me that my house locks are faulty, I am in total security"
"make a phone call to, say, French (where encryption is illegal) to cook up a"
I am not sure if you just used France as an example but, to the dissapointment of Reno and US chums, hard crypto has been recently legalized in France.
You forget the trojan Digital Rights Management sytem WMP8 also installs.
In Win2K, under the services, there is one service which starts with "WDM", and not suprisingly does not have a corresponding description. Do a search on your machine for wdm* and look at their properties. Nice suprise eh?
An uninstall of WMP 8 does not remove all the WDM files!
BTW, why is the Times site so slow nowadays? and where do u get those right wing opinion/comment writers. The Times would be *perfect* without that "Opinion" section.
You're just spouting you usual American brainwashed bullshit.
"The good of the planet", what a load of fucking bollocks, so that donkey in the WhiteHouse has decided not to follow Global Warming reducing agreements, for what? "the good of the planet as you put it", or to please his Oil industry chums.
Get a grip my friend or educate yourself in non Bush-Ass-kissing media.
>They aren't spies
What are they then, fucking map planners? Planning the new edition of Drivers guide to China?
> I don't know what this means, but it sound wrong;-)
Isreal + various countries in South America, where do they get their guns and ammo from, Tahiti?
yeah you're right, this is still the primitive country which poisons, gases or electrocutes people in the name of "Justice", and the f@cking presidents now sing the same tune in fear of rocking the boat.
Damn Pathetic.
yeah right, there will always be dumb morons (especially those thick head in-breads in the US) who will vote on a single issue or vote for whoever is "trendy" to vote for at the time of the election. Look at Labour's victory in the UK 4 years ago, the party's propaganda machine went on overdrive and almost instantly Labour was "trendy" to vote for.
Internet voting will change Jack about it my friend.
