Isn't it true that IT personel are just to smart to follow the silly commercials like "This summer it is a must to wear yellow". It is so silly. Just wear what you like.
Black longsleave "No, I will not wear your fashion".
I have noticed that even IT personel can be unbelievably naive, at least that is what I have noticed. Opening very obvious Email harvesting games etc. Also "internet is not a dangerous place, you are over reacting". Now I may be a little paranoid sometimes (I am not alone in my head you know;-) But to say such a thing as IT-er is plain stupid.
So when it comes donw to the facts, only the IT-ers considered as Nerds seem to worry about things like spyware, email harvesting etc. Has anybody noticed it too??
You know, everytime I install Windows or Servicepack it I receive an extra program. It's the Alexis Spyware (keylogger) bundled with Internet Explorer...For us to greatly enjoy our computer with added features.
I wonder, would MS antispyware detect there own added c.r.a.p. or to put it differently, how big is the pricetag NOT to be detected by it.
I can buy a tape recorder to copy music --> taxes are included on tapes to compensate the music industry
I can Buy a DAT recorder to copy music --> taxes are included on tapes to compensate the music industry
I can buy a CD-recorder, DVD recorder to copy anything --> taxes are included on CD's to compensate the music industry
I can get an ADSL connection to the internet, buy a harddrive etc. to copy music and the rest. Now please tell me WHY all of a sudden this is a problem???
FACT: - downloading music has increased in 2004 - CD and DVD sales have increased in 2004
Conclusions: dowloading music has no negative effect on sales of CD and DVD, maby even increases it.
Prices are Too high: i.e. a regular audio CD in the Netherlands is 23-25 euro. That is about the price of the cheapest adsl connection....you do the math
It is a losing battle if record companies keeps the prices up.
I still here rumours that ad-aware contains a keylogger and that they even been to court for it....I know rumours die hard or not at all, but is that ANY truth in it??
I use spybot btw but it was on the site mentioned in the article
I must admit that is probably one of the few things that might actualy work. How many virusses are there with attachments that MUST be opened before it works that are get spread beyond belief? People are naive and or just don't care. If they still don't know, get of the highway and make way...
You'll hate me for it, I know, but why do we have T-shirts with "No, I will not fix your computer"??? Because we know why it got broken, again....
Your suit's Clock may be incorrect. Blink once to install Gator Suit Commander or Blink twice to trust our software.
Imagine yourself in the battlefield and suddenly a red blinking popup in your eye. Is it an enemy alert, battery low maby? No, your one of the 500 lucky people, Blink once to receive....wtf?
Is it me or are there at least a few other cities that already run WIFI. I happen to live in Leiden, Netherlands and we have a wifi network for a few years now. Btw, WIFI and secure in the same sentence is not a smart thing:)
I believe that the original cast of the LOTR movies were already or now are celebrity people. Can't think of anyone trying to do a better job than they did....
Well maby Sarah Michelle G. (SNL) to take of the ring from somewhere...
yeah just like all the other "personal firewalls".
I believe there is a future for this afterall:

I can block annoying ads and flickering screens. If I could erase them from the TV I would. Whenever TV goes to commercials I change the channel...

I believe there stupid enough to do it anyway....
On the other hand, since the US is almost broke they will have no option but to cancel in the near future, would be a shame though.
Anyways Ebay bids start at 100 euro's...
