Usually I come to slashdot to read technology news before it gets filtered down to the major news outlets. Looks like the plain old newspaper got the scoop this time...
Like most slashdotters, I gave fake information when signing up for my supermarket loyalty card. But I started thinking how many other places I signed up for things with my real info - especially places that required an ID, for example: The Hollywood Video account I just opened. Is it illegal to present a fake ID in such a situation?
"I love it when the tinfoil hats birgade comes out on slashdot, its better than TV."
"In addition, they could just slap a copy of carnivor (or whatever passes for it in Europe) on the ISP trunks, and read anything they want, and no ammount of reformatting or scanning would detect it."
Sounds like someone hasn't taken his own medicine.
Yeah! Let's hear it for soda! When I went to college four years ago I was riddled by my pop drinking friends for saying 'soda'. Now that I'm back in Chicago I'm throwing off the shackles of 'higher learning' and introducing soda back into my vocabulary.
Excuse me while I go make supper.

"I can see photographers shooting sporting events with a 12" Powerbook in a backpack..." That is until the laptop overheats.
