Good response, thanks. But my point is that spyware doesn't HARM, and the only real objections people have are like your own: idealogical or moral. I agree it's distasteful for companies to install software or monitor you by stealth, but it's worth bearing in mind that if you don't care about it, or are oblivious to it (because you're experiencing no ill effect), spyware is just not an issue.
If you know what spyware is, you know how to remove it. If you have no idea it's there or what it does, it's unlikely to impact upon you in any way whatsoever, is it? Before modding me down, think back to when YOU first learnt about spyware.
I for one would gladly pay a penny an email if it meant an end to spam. Legitimate companies have survived for hundreds of years without email advertising, so they don't have to be affected.

I don't have a good response to that, so I'm just going to call you a cunt. HAND!
Wrong. Not when you take into account the amount it would cost to re-train every single employee.
Or, in other words, where right wing lunatics can peddle hate.
Virus on yer Linux box. Hopefully this should reduce the smugness-level of *nix zealots.
If these people are willing to be paid off, it suggests to me they didn't care too much about their standpoint in the first place.
Why? What on earth has Will done to deserve that?
Now all they have to do is make Sunbird sync with my Palm and I'll be a happy bunny!
Word to the motherfucker.

Can it run XP?
Probably yes, but best of luck finding drivers for your parallel scanner.

Charge one penny to send an email.

I'd like to see Liv Tyler's eyes point in the same direction.
