    or you could just blog all the scams you already recieve, use weboftrust to flag their site and if your lucky they will lose their godaddy accounts. it is a lot of work, but that is where weboftrust kicks in by distributed spam detection. once their main c&c gets detected they go down. i used to use spamcop, but i was inundated with spam, and normals cant always tell spam from nonspam however web of trust makes it a little easier for end users to never go to red ring sites.

    mobile doesn't allow you to 'bless' apps without a computer, by 'bless' i mean words with friends won't play without a desktop to bless it. i don't have a 'tablet' becuase my laptop works fine, and my phone was the deciding factor on not getting a tablet. and fwiw with a full qwerty keypad, a micro hdmi output(with ethernet over hdmi capability) wifi capability and mobile hotspot function it does a few things a pc can't do without also purchasing wifi. the design of smartphones is to be less restricted locationally than with a laptop/netbook which are less locationally challenged than a desktop.

    some people do in fact wonder what to do with their pcs once they got smartphones. so if designers stop assuming you need a full desktop to play facebook games there will be people who simply turn off their pcs and keep the wifi and cable/dsl for their smartphones.

    there are a few problems with saying isps have to monitor everything non politicians transmit. because of course the law won't apply to them or their corporate buddies. first off is encryption. encryption is only vulnerable on the host when it is about to encrypt data, except in the bizzare case where two computers use the same encryption keys, and access to both streams encrypting the same data, and then it is like a lucky shot to correlate the data and bring it to the attention of users looking for that exploit. unencrypted data is searchable but again see how hard google and the like have finding things, it is not easy, do you want the full emails of billions of people? even if servers can scan in one language people speak in several thousand languages. it becomes harded and harder to track languages especially when they start using unnoficial slang uses of foreign words. so now you need to scan in at least the top 12 languages? i know computers are widespread, but do we really want to say in law every email has to be grepped? got it? this is n hard stuff here, are you going to target people for suicide watchs becuase their home pc detected them pasting depressed songs? or are we just going to make computers so hard to use that no one uses them?
    so lets hypothetically say we can overcome the technical hurdles we can make computers to catch all the 'terrorists' who don't speak in riddles? do you realize what that means? then we can have what a society where people are all so clean and neat that no one knows how to relax by a friend as the camera/computer monitors what they say, like in 2001 a space odysey.

    well i did md5sums on my bios 3 times in 2006-2007 and one of the three did not match the md5sum for the official bios and i only loaded official .tw bios images. that system is fixed now but there is a reason why it would have a custom bios image not installed by default? so i assumed a bios rootkit. (in my previous post) the hardware is fine now and the bios was definitely only reflashed by me, when i was debugging the computers problems.
