    Microsoft are not listed in the Data Protection register. So they are breaking the law by storing any UK citizen's name every time that citizen does an ego search.
    This is especially true if the software was baught through a UK subciduary.

    Having tried, and failed, to get a job at NetCraft, I learn't several things about how they do the survey.

    Most of the OS sampaling is done by analysing the packets from the TCP/IP Stack and not from taking the HTTP header at face value.

    RAMBtolagists, as they will be know after the merger have asked me, their lawer and high priest, to inform the readers of /. that the phrase 'holy chips' is highly offencive and we will use all the powers of the law to bring down this site.

    Note also that affecting our site with the notorious /. effect will be seen as a denial of service (DoS) and we will prosicute all members of /. for such actions.

    We should als point out that we do not exist we have never existed and any not one linking to one of our websites will be prosicuted under the full extent of the law.

    If we fail to win then we will by a law that allows us to do so. This law will be the Scientolagy Corperate Representation and Allowable Presentation (ScCRAP) Law.

    You have been warned.
