Over the last few years, it seems like my 11 year old managed to install every version of spyware that existed.
I used have to run ad aware, spybot s&d, and av software once a week at least.
Solution was (*IS*) linux.
OPEN SOURCCE, Separate log-ins, file based perms, oPEN oFFICE,, THE GIMP..
It works real well at home...
I always have at least 3 cameras with me,
(digital, small APS, and now cell phone) and have been known to say, "would you mind If I record this and take a few pictures?"
Of course, the police officers always object
I tell them I'm publishing them on one of my websites and freedom of the press applies
Oh, and if you have a problem with this call
Captain X down at Internal Affairs
because I'll call Internal Affairs right now
If this fails to convince them, I dial 911 on my cell phone and ask to be put through to Internal Affairs (this in NYC)
My eyes aren't that good and I've gotten that crap about "You can take our badge numbers off our badges, but we're not going to tell you them..."
they tend to be a little surprised by the camera(s)
I also carry a small tape recorder and have recorded these encounters
I have a friend with a SONY notebook.
It stopped working, so I called for my non-technical friend.
They were good enough in the initial phone conversations, and took my name and address - even though they were told I was not the owner and it WAS NOT THE owners address.
So had to ship it in for evaluation and repair.
Sony said put a NOTE with the owners information INSIDE the package and the REFERENCE NUMBER that was used in my phone conversation.
Not only was a NOTE put inside the package, the package was prominently marked with the appropriate information about the OWNER.
Mail from SONY arrives addressed to me at MY ADDRESS.
Sony wants $1000 to rapair/replace motherboard and battery which they claim was not the right battery.
I call sony and say, "WTF?"
They go back and -OOPS it is the right battery, now they only want $799++ to fix.
I tell them to contact the original OWNER.
THey say they don't have the information.
I tell them, it was sent both IN AND ON the package.
I speak with another friend of mine who also has/d a SONY LAPTOP. His crapped out also (hmmm, I know ONLY 2 people with SONY laptops and both of them CRAPPED OUT...), and SONY wanted 799++ to fix.
Sony tries to find notes/original package.
Sony won't say that they've lost it, instead they say, "It is unavailable to us..." (those fuckers).
I pointedly ask them if they are having RELIABILITY PROBLEMS with their notebooks/laptops... their answer:
"...not to our knowledge..."
Eventually they resolve the loss of information (I supply them with the info).
100% of the people I know who purchased SONY notebooks had major problems within 24 months of purchase.
Based on this and phone treatment, I'll never knowingly buy anything SONY.

At one point (early 90's) Toshiba OWNED the laptop market.
I stopped buying TOSHIBA after purchasing one of their 166MHZ infinia desktops (a long time ago).
Toshiba sucks big time, they are a JAPANESE company without HONOR.
Is there actually any use for Tesla?
Use your imagination...
The next JACKASS MOVIE?
(oh the pain...)
Pollstats.com??
South Dakota??
Geez, I mean don't the Buffalo outnumber the people there?
Didn't we give the Dakotas back to the Indians, or the Canadians??
...sue everyine, like SCO is doing...
I changed it to ABCD
Maybe (hopefully!!) some
of the computers being used by
the Investment advisors and Lawyers
working on the IPO will all crap
out at critical times
because they're infucted with GATOR's
own shit
Gator (Claria) is:
crapware
shitware
and there is no way they could have
received "informed consent" for
the installation of their crap from
my 9 year old.
That pesky $200 million "cost over-run"
would only have been about $45.76 U.S. Dollars

Eastern Europe has come an awful long way since the fall of the "Evil Empire."
What? did Microsoft go under??
Or was it SCO??
Nah, they, like me, bought the "X-RAY" glasses from the back of the Comic Books
I always had the same problem setting sensitivity.
All I really wanted to do was see girls naked.
I wound up seeing alot of bones instead.

What's the record?
On my resume, I used to list my degree as:
Dartmouth College, A.B.
Then in an interview (circa 1985) the
marketing/manager type (think pointy hair)
asked me,
"So, what's this A.B., an associates degree?"
I explained to him that it was the Latin for Bachelor of Arts.
I then stood up, took the resume from his hand, and said,
"Thanks, but I'm not interested."
Why list degrees and certs unless you are
responding to your own insecurity or ego?

Dude,
That's why I have all my personal info
stamped into the tinfoil I use for my pyramid hats...
well, except for my slashdot password...
Why should I share my success with you?
Why should I take the competitive advantage
I've gained by using OPENSOURCE and
give you the same advantage??
All Fishermen are Liars.
Except for you and me.
And, I'm not too sure about you...

It said:
All your BASE are mine
They must have planted an agent inside Microsoft...
