> do you stay awake at night now wondering why your sense of right and wrong didn't or doesn't conincide with the laws of your country?
Even if this question isn't selected, I would very much like to see your answer to it.
Many people casually break the law, through speeding, lying, cheating, but few have problems with it (willing to pay the ticket). I understand that pirating software can be fun and add comraderie, as well as a bit of mystery and intrigue to your life. I do want to know how you feel, and what your thoughts are about why your morals do not correspond with the laws of the land.
Thank you for taking time to answer the questions. Don't bend over to pick up the soap.
This has bigger implications that using the things in your house. This will be a boon for people who use laundromats as well as help laundromat owners keep their machines in good working order.
Collecting the data now doesn't bother me. What bothers me is when I look for a new job 20 years from now, only to have my potential employer pull out a breifcase that holds EVERYTHING I've done on the internet since 2002 (Including all encrypted stuff, I'll bet brute force methods are a lot easier with faster computers). But for me, that isn't a big deal, I'm already an adult. What happens for my kids, where they have their entire lives scrutinized before being given a job? What happens if they get in some trouble and are put in juvenile detention, but then they clean up their act? Will that be a permanent black marker on their file for the rest of their life? What if they have controversial ideas or views? This isn't about data mining for the present, when you are a sheep in the herd, no one will notice you. When people look at you as an individual, they will know everything about you, personal history and otherwise, that is what this is about. Have you ever run a google search on someone? Imagine the results coming up with everything that person has done on the web, and being able to make sure it IS the person you wanted to look for.

Does this mean I have to think aloud?
...and American's actually WONDER why people think we have our heads up our ass.
Hmmm...320 GB HD...Time to remake the old Jukebox into a movie Jukebox.
No more getting up to change the DVD out when my entire (legal) collection of DVD's are already set up ready to play.
Microsoft does make good products, that's how they got to their position. Give them a few years and they will have secure platforms.
If there was a level playing field today, would the majority of users choose Windows if they knew of all the choices? I doubt it.
