I don't think stupid people deserve to have any money. The Nigerians seem to be enterprising and resourceful - they've earned it.
Remember kiddies: It's not so surprising that a fool and his money are soon parted. What's amazing is that the fool and his money ever got together in the first place.
Nope - I got rid of it the first time I saw it trying to connect back to Real for no good reason. I still want to know what information they gather - hopefully we'll find out when they open-source it. Plus, somebody signed me up for one their spam email lists and they won't take me off of it so Real can go straight to hell for all I care.
I am wondering if RealNetworks will be open sourcing the portions of the code that handle the spyware functions of the player? It will be interesting to confirm what information has been surreptitiously gathered by the player.
I don't have anything against Real - I just wish I could get off of their spam lists.
OK, so now you've learned to actually look at your spam reports instead of blindly clicking the 'Submit' button. Sounds like Spamcop is working perfectly. If you shoot yourself in the foot, don't blame the gun.
They wouldn't need that money for their plane tickets. All the money they make from the gasoline you buy for your SUV will be more than enough, thank you very much.
What makes you think that you have some inherent right to "online privacy" or "online freedom"? I don't see that in the bill of rights or the constitution itself, do you?
Yes, I do. Go back and re-read your US Constitution. Pay particular attention to 9th Amendment. The right to privacy has long been understood to be one of the unenumerated rights.
Don't get too excited. This one will likely end up in front of the Bush family retainers on the US Supreme Court. Scalia and his buddy "Coca-Cola" Clarence like nothing better than to tap-dance on the graves of what used to be our privacy.
You'd think if they were trying to hit the hoi-polloi up for 78 extra large, they would try to make their website look like something other than a sixth-grade computer club project.
