Actually, amazingly enough the link to the CCFL site was not wasted, I just had a laptop go dark on me, and was needing information on parts to fix it.
I use my Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 2003 and the Agenda Fusion PIM software from http://www.developerone.com/agendafusion/. Handles the calendar/to-do/address book/journal functions very nicely.
After reading the article and some of the responses here I surfed aroud for about 20 minutes to many of the Problem Sites people had mentioned, I did not recieve a single popup/pop-under ad when using just Firefox's pop-up blocker. I'm not sure whats going on, maybe all these sites were influenced by the negative press here.
As for the flash you mentioned, have you looked into privoxy? You can create your own rules to have it strip out all flash from sites if you like.
Also if someone can figure out how the pop-up blockers are being defeated a rule could be written to strip the code from the page as well.
lol....as clear as anything based in Federal Law I guess...but I think I see what you are saying, I'll let the company's legal types worry tho. I'm paid $7 an hour to just answer phones.
As I had it explained to me when I asked this question during interviews for my current job (ISP Telephone Tech Support) the determining factor in applying the one party or 2 party consent law is the state in which the company is located. I work for a company in NY state (a single party consent state) that has nationwide clients. So we can legally record the calls from customers in 2 party consent states as New York State law applies to us.
They are designed to flag as a possible threat anything that could be malicious. There are known spyware agents that utilise TightVNC, RealVNC, and WinPCap, so the software is performing exactly as designed.
So by this logic, IE and the Windows Messenger Service components should also be flagged as threats. There are known malicious agents that utilize both of these as well to gain access to a system.
I would prefer that an obviously default installation of a utility that I use not be listed as a threat. Now if it were detect in a non-standard location or with settings modified to hide it, then yes, feel free to report.
Also the default installs of TightVNC, RealVNC and winpcap are flagged as spyware. As if only crackers use these items for anything and no respectable user would.
Thank you, I wish I were as eloquent as yourself. As a Naval Veteran of both Gulf Wars I wish you fair winds and following seas and I thank you for your service.
Hmmm last time I checked, Bonzai Buddy, Hot Shots, Weatherbug and most other Crap in the same class of software won't run on any platform other than windows. (Though there may be Mac versions of some I guess) So if you do use a non-microsoft solution, it can quickly become a non-issue without having to configure a profile to prevent it.
Also 400 policy options is great, if you have a tech who is able to decipher the Microsoftese involved and make sure that some innocuous looking setting you think will help won't end up crippling the entire system.
Just my thoughts on things.

As someone who has worked with impeller pumps for the last decade, there is going to be a significant difference in the amount of damage done to the cells. I have seen live sea-life on the output side of impeller based pumps, where a propeller style pump does as you say, chop every thing up.
True Nachi did download and install the Blaster patch, but some of its varients also did things like overwrite a random help file in the windows IIS install. Sophos Analysis of Nachi-G Not to mention its use of a tftp server leaving yet another opening into the system.
At least here in New York, the public school systems are required to teach a second language. When I was in High School I had three years of french (made much more sense than spanish being so close to Quebec) and they had started to teach spanish in the Elementary schools.
So your accusation of not being taught a second language in schools is at least in part groundless.
Please learn the facts before making a statement that just shows your ignorance about the American School system.
Furthermore your statement of the "large nation excuse being a rogue one" is also a fallacy. If I learn a language in school, but then have little or no chance to use it over the next 15 years because I would have to travel to locations hundreds or even thousands of miles away to encounter an area where its use would be required then my knowledge and proficiency will degrade to the point of being useless.
Is it ethnocentric to have a "community" that has been communicating in english suddenly get invaded and spammed in a foreign language? Then I get painted as the "bad guy" because I try to keep things on topic and in english? Why do they not just establish their own communities ( very easy to do in Orkut ) to have their conversations. But no, just because I am a citizen of the United States I am automatically the bad guy.
Wake up people, the objectivity around the world when it comes to the US is just a bit skewed at times.
And yes, before anyone comments, I have visited or lived in about 15 nations, and speak some french and italian, and have always learned the basic pleasentries (hello, thank you, please) in the local language no matter how brief my stay in any nation.
Even so, according to US Government regulations regarding classified computer systems, ANY removable media that is inserted into a drive/port of a computer used for classified work MUST be then, and forever more, handled as the highest level of classification used on that computer. So a DOS boot disk used on a Top Secret Computer becomes Top Secret material by association.

I have one of the wall charts up in my home office, looks great and is very handy to have as well. Great item.

both TightVNC and RealVNC are listed as moderate.

ummm no, in 1997-8 weapons inspectors were kicked out of Iraq under threat of imprisonment for being in the country illegally.
