Gawd, now your forcing me to troll, I cant help myself.
"Here jez9999, there is your free bed. Its a nice bed with many features, big pillows, soft blankets. All free, isnt it great."
"Oh yea, I forgot to tell you..., the bed is recording everything you do in your room. Every time you bone your GF/BF, yep a video is uploaded straight too us (and whoever else wants it). Nice clothes, we'll make sure that the GAP knows you buy that brand. Eww, is that a sore on your ass, heck I'll keep that info too."
Now, I honest dont believe you would take a free bed if were going to invade the privacy of your home, and send what it sees off to complete strangers. Now why the hell would you let your computer do the same?
Heck maybe im wrong, maybe you don't care about your privacy, if thats the case, I have a free bed for you, its pretty nice.
Do you have to spoil the child? Beat it? Ignore it? Lead by example? What circumstances can create a creature so base as a patent troll? To they have even a shread of scruple left?
Actually just give it everything it wants, its ego will grow exponentially larger. If they had any discipline they may have realized that there actions will have reactions that may have negative circumstances.
Or do I have to cross my fingers and only step out in front of cars built by Jaguar?
WTF?! Maybe I am misunderstanding, but if your stepping out in front of moving traffic plan on getting turned in to shusi. What happens if you get knocked over and your head gets ran over by the next car? Saftey devices are great and all, but they can never replace paying attention.
Everybody bitches about the telco's and there problems Everybody bitches about the FCC and the problems they cause.
When really most people dont realize the FCC can be there best friend. Its easy to make the telephone company bend over backwards and kiss your ass in three easy steps.
1. Document your problems your having with your phone company. Names, dates, times, all important. 2. Write a letter (or email) to the FCC complaint department (http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints_general.html).
3. The telephone company fixes your problem and kisses your ass, begging you not to write in another complaint.
Too few people ever make complaints when it matters, they would rather sit and bitch. If you have a valid complaint the FCC will look in to it. If the telephone company is in violation of any FCC regulation they may get fined or be subject to further investigations. Needless to say they will do there best to keep you happy from that point on.
7+ years in the isp business teaches you a little about the phone company.
given that you may want to deal with them in the future?
There are 6 billion people in this world only about 1 out of 6 are chinese, i'm sure if they want to deal with the chinese for whatever reason in the future they can set up a shell company or do business by proxy (no pun intended).
It's likely you do business with businesses that you would not intentionally support.
Of course, what we can't see here is the long tail effect. How many Windows boxes are being exploited by holes unknown to the public, but that Microsoft is aware of. There is not any way to tell easily.
Heres a new benchmark that Microsoft would not like.
T.C.C.M.
Total Cost of Code Maintnence, how much does it cost to patch and test the base operating system source code per year? Microsoft vs Other commerical operating systems? Vs opensource operating systems.
The T.C.O Microsoft does not talk about is on there end, That is the price of closed source code.
Interrestingly enough, to tie this back in to religion, The Tree of Knowledge could be death.
Over the billions of years the universe has existed, thousands of alien cultures have evolved just like ours, only to have there planet blipped out of existance by an accidential scientific discovery.
If such a case possible then any "advanced" society is constantly on the brink of destruction, by attempting to control higher and higher energies. We may think nuclear weapons are dangerous (and they are), an alien kids home science Supernova kit could wield chaos on a galatic scale.
In the end, we are all dead anyway, weather we cook our planet with global warming, a comet smashes us to bits, nano bots turn us go grey goo, or our sun expands to a red giant. At some point thermodynamics wins.
Third: Last time I drove down the freeway the only obstacles were other cars.
Muwahahahah, you don't drive in Dallas I see. Jettisoned concrete barriers, furniture, livestock, automobile parts, alligators (semi tires that seperated from the rim). On a bad day you may see all of these on 635. Hey there's nothing like a truck in front of you losing a pallet of bricks.
You need a computer system the recognises these objects then tells all the other cars behind you about the object.
(Note: In this study crimes^H acts commited by the goverment in question were not counted, Overall actually stands for crimes commited by citizens. All other crime^H acts were for the safety of the citizens.)
You will be very safe as long as you question nothing.
the eradication of absolute poverty, war, and tyranny
What goes on in that mind of yours?! How do you plan on eradicating force from human kind, without using, well MORE FORCE? If made up my mind to kill you how exactly would you stop me? No you couldn't do anything yourself, so you would use force by proxy, and hope the police would catch me first. What if an entire country wanted to kill you (or your citizens), yes an army by proxy.
What you want to do is rid human kind of free will. My what a sick fantasy.
Stop legislating personal sacrifice, its not personal when its enforced at the end of a goverments gun.
BS, software is not going to damage your hardware. There is a chance that it might mess up some drivers or some such, of course, but it can't touch the actual hardware.
Actually that sounds like a good idea, now the feds will have 30,000 hours of geeks talking about upgrading linux on there new athlon. The.gov will spend millions trying to go through all the tapes, most calls will never be listened to. All of the sudden the 'real' terrorist they should have been listening to in the first place will blow something up.
Moral of the story, dont waste your time with a person just because they want a little privacy.
Firefox didnt crash, if you waited long enough (like I did) it opens up a popup dialog full of ??????'s, you can then close the window. But it did take a full 3 minutes on a Athlon64 300+ with a gig of ram. calc.exe does not run.

Look left, look right, live.
If the adware can change your hosts file then this is pretty useless anyway. Now all the software has to do is run a script that does the following
nslookup whatever.microsofts.domains
takes the list of return addresses and
route ADD destination MASK mask INVALID INVALID INVALID foreach
and your traffic to MS wont even leave the network card.
Here's what I dont get.

Actually this is no different than real life.
It's like a restraunt that you've never been to, how do you know that you will not die of food poisoning?
Luckly for us, restraunts are randomly inspected by health services and get a score around here.
Maybe its time for random website inspections to see what kind of crapware/spyware/scripts are on them, sounds like a good place for a firefox plugin.
Shameless product plug of the best visuals a DJ could have at a party.
Best of all its free

Ow, the virus! It hurts my head so much, pleezzzzzzz make it stop.
Yea, this sounds like a bad idea, doubly bad if the implants made by microsoft.
Hidden watermark in the movie describing which security key it came from?
Just a guess.

Great idea, mandatory insurance has lowered my insurance rate grately!

Oh, just in case your really didn't notice, I was being sarcastic.

You need a computer system the recognises these objects then tells all the other cars behind you about the object.
and System knows to route a tow truck your way.
Which magically seems to happen right after your cars warrenty expires!

I do hope I missed your sarcasm tag.
Are you claiming that people who abuse $fill_in_the_blank don't hurt the people around them.
Therefore I declare that we make $fill_in_the_blank to be against the law.
Ever flash a bios? Ever had it go wrong?
Yes, great idea, Hitler and Stalin would have loved the efficiency!
A smaller less efficient goverment is a much better idea then a larger very efficient one.
DDOS Attacks generally dont affect the security of a site, normally data is not compromised. Unfortunalty the site is unreachable at the time.
And just remember that truck is carrying your food/toys/eletronics to your local store where you pay for the cost of shipping with the shelf price.
