One would think that AI and Wikipedia is a great combination. Isn't it comforting to know, that our future metal overlords will have a profound understanding of 'goatse' and understand every single Simpsons reference?
... in the article. This court decision only applies to this one customer. If any other customer wants their ISP to actually comply with the current law in Germany (and sadly hardly any do at the moment) they also have to sue, every single one of them.
Currently this court decision doesn't change much, but chances are good that more customers will sue and ISPs will finally realize that cannot continue like this anymore. Well, that is until the EU forces Germany to change the law and makes us give up even more privacy.
... it's not even funny anymore (and I guess that's why there is a lawsuite).
Yes, there have been false positives but I don't think that's the real issue.
Especially the new WGA Tray notification is tremendously flawed:
- It claims to be an important security update, while it really isn't
- Hiding it on Windowsupdate is just a temporary workaround it reappears and claims to be an important update with each and every single of it frequent updates
- Once installed it cannot be uninstalled (only manually, you need quite some computer-skills for that)
- If you DO install it, the current versions phoned home daily, newer versions will 'only' phone home every day. Why do I have to proove to Microsoft this often, that my legally optained copy of Windows is still legal? I don't remeber agreeing to that when I bought my copy of Windows.
- WGATray.exe actually uses quite a lot of ressources and did slow down my system's boot-up time. On every single startup it uses quite some CPU-time to performe its WGA check.
- It behaves like spyware! Microsoft doesn't clearly tell it's users on Windowsupdate that this will steal system ressources from them and that it will phone home to Microsoft constantly. Microsoft even calls it an important security update which it clearly is not, pretty much like a lot of other rouge software out there.
And Microsoft already plans to make WGA Tray Notifications even more mandatory than they already are (current plans involve that all other WGA-checks will automatically assume your copy of Windows is not genuine if you refuse to install the tray notifications and waste your ressources on that).

It's simple electromagnetic induction and has an incredibly limited range but it's working great: http://www.a4tech.com/en/product2.asp?CID=90&SCID= 92&MNO=NB-99

This was the first comment that made me laugh out loud ... oh man, I'm such a geek.

Well, according to the ADAC-Test Portuguese are the third best drivers in europe. I hope that (but I'm not sure if) you're one of them. :-)
