As usual, everyone is convinced that the government is going to swoop into your house and arrest you for doing a web search for porn. Relax. Get a grip.
The government also has the right to buy you property against your wishes as long as they give you fair compensation for it, which they could deem as being a dollar, but they haven't done that have they?
So if this act allows them to monitor people who are extensively searching for bomb making instructions and using hotmail to contact afghanistan...so be it.
with any luck they will go ahead and block that key code from upgrading to SP1, therefor saving us from the pesky memory leak that SP1 is bound to cause.
Your driving habits are already tracked, as well as your financial and bill paying habits, as well as your web surfing habits. Its like you think that federal agents are going to storm through your bedroom windows because they found out you swiped a towel from a Holiday Inn.

Frankly, with the way that linux distros have been charging for everything lately (the software itself, updates, etc), I don't see why MS would lose much of a market share.
Anyone who does knows this is just a step before the evil computer AI infecting all of the other computers in the world and setting about to destroy mankind. I will rise up to defeat this terrible menace right after I find a girl with blue hair and eyes the size of dinner plates.
so stupid its funny. Everyone I've made watch this movie has ended up loving it. You don't think much of it the first time you watch it, but you're left with a desire to watch it again, so there must be some subliminal messaging going on. "Damn that Hansel, he's so hot right now"
As someone who used to do contract work for the government here in DC, I can pretty much assure you that there was no way your information would have been accurate in the first place.
I've spent half an hour explaining to govt employees the mystical function of the CAPS LOCK and the NUM LOCK keys, and these are the same people in charge of your records. So, we were all pretty much screwed from the get-go.
I'll be interested in getting a robot when it can transform from a jet to giant mech and comes standard with gattling cannon and official Robotech drunken missiles.
I don't know why they say maze games are dying. Games such as Doom, Quake, Unreal, etc all utilize the basic maze strategy...albeit you have to frag your way through the maze, but it is still just a maze.
this is probably just Dell's effort to get into the highly profitable data mining business. There's no telling how much money they can make by selling the secrets of aol user's IM habits.
Seriously, some of these "useless" 500mhz machines they acquire could probably be used very well at a linux lab in a lower income school district.

Although the source may be a bit biased, its odd that several media outlets would have picked up on the same story without some grain of truth behind the matter.
I would think this farfetched were it not for the fact that Saddam Hussein pays money to the families of homicide bombers in Palestine, as written about in http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/03/25/10170047 66310.html

is it just a coincidence that that Mohammed Atta met with Iragi agents in Czech Republic prior to the 9/11 attacks and that the anthrax mailed around the same time had the exact same weaponization fingerprint as Irag uses?
And you ask what Iraq has ever done to us?
the thing I don't get is that MS used to include winpop with the win9x products, which was essentially a network based IM client. Then with the introduction of 2000/XP this nifty little feature vanished.
yeah, the state attorney who said that she'd prosecute this to the maximum penalty of the law also got quite a bit of flack for saying that and had to backpedal and say she never intended it to sound like she would prosecute so harshly.
I do tech support for a government agency, and all that they really care about is how it looks. You replace someone's 15" CRT monitor with a 17" LCD, and the first they they whine about is that it doesn't match the color of their kb and mouse (none of them have yet to ever notice the tower behind all their space heaters, so that's not an issue.) They don't care about the performance of the monitor, or what it does for eyestrain, or what its maximum resolution is...all that they care about is that it isn't as pretty as the other one was.
So yes, appearances are everything.

How about someone going out to his house with some wire cutters and taking care of his internet access. Should save the web a few million spams a day

Wow, its a good thing lawn darts were outlawed years ago. There's no telling how much havoc those things could cause in the hands of a terrorist.
yep, -50 suave points for misspelling something I was making fun of for misspelling
maybe they meant to say expendible?
I hope the Romans sue for us using latin words for the base of most of our language
