And since we have already seen suits where people criticized companies on their web sites, are you so certain that the Korporations will only have noble purposes. Now instead of a web site, say you post critical comments about a company or government on a bulletin board. They get your IP from the Board and follow it up to your ISP. Let's hand that information over as to your real identity. Of course that would never happen, would it? With some of the suits we have already seen I would not be so sure.
I think that is true. No one wants everything they do on the internet available due to voluntary cooperation. Some of the stats you see on pr0n as an example. Almost everyone has looked at it, but most people don't want it ever being known. If an ISP gets a rep as giving out info, to the public that would mean, it could be them.
And probably not even them. I do not use IE. I am perfectly ca[able of discerning a phishing email when I get one. Simply look at where the link is actually directed. If not ebay.com but some rather unofficial looking website, then guess what. I just delete it, or if I have the time, I do a whois on the domain and send a copy to the isp. I am not going to turn that process over to yet another tool bar.
It's a sign of our modern culture. Instant gratification. Too many people don't want to work for what they get, they want everything handed to them. They think, I have money so I shouldn't have to spend the time building my own character up.
Why be alarmed by this. If I recall correctly from teh xfiles movie. December 2012 will be the end of the mayan calendar and thus the end of our civilization.
That could be the out for everyone. Flush the real log records and keep the ones for this (nonexistent) IP address. "Well your honor, we preserved the information they requested":-)
I don't think using racial epithets is an appropriate way of expressing your disagreement. If you think they are empty suits mimicing the party line fine, but calling them porch monkeys is uncalled for. Why is it liberals all think they can call black conservatives anything they want since the NAACP won't say anything.
Actually that is one reason I have always been supportive of the spacebased missile defense programs (star wars). Hopefully when the time comes NASA can figure out how to use it to protect the earth from asteroids. Not to mention them dadburn aliens.
Not to mention the fact that the games are $50 and movies are $8 in my area. So there are still 6 times as many people going to the movie versus buying the video game.
There are many Windows users without XP SP2 who have survived increasingly larger, smarter and faster virii and worm attacks, because they know how to secure their PC.

Why wouldn't it surprise me that Microsoft would be able to find and remove everyone else's product on the box even if it is spyware.

In Arkansas.... but they would look good on all the cars up on blocks in the front yards :-)

You do know that you can run Linux on a Mac don't you? I always dual booted back in my Mac days.
I hope the robots don't try to light one up... we might see it from here.
I for one urge our British cousins to keep SCO over there for the foreseeable future. No rush in sending them back to the US.
Yes Schnits there is a Santa Claus. I just said that so the other guy wouldn't feel as bad when he gets nothing in his stocking.
Oh Poop! C'mon Mr. Scrooge lighten up. It's Santa Claus, not life or death. No one past the age of about 6-8 really believe in Santa. It's for fun....

Heh, I can answere one anyway :-)

I will continue to strike the shotgun wielding robots in anger, until they surrender...

Me objecting to racist remarks is modded down and labled flamebait. Making further racist remarks gets modded up as interesting.

You will be crying when the aliens start up their anal probes.... well may be not :)

You take that back. Those reruns of Matlock are always fresh and exciting.
Now I can have some loudmouth on one side talking on his cell phone and some woman watching oprah on the other. Life can't get much better.

But once you get it all built, just think how much faster it will run on your system than on other people's ;-)
But wouldn't the MPAA/RIAA be engaging in illegal behavior by doing a DDoS.... oops I forgot they have a separate set of rules for them.
