All of these companies creating spyware and sticking it on computers need to face the same charges as the person that backdoors a computer to put it on there. There really isn't any difference. Except that this country obviously favors corporations over people. It isn't supposed to be that way. And the idiot corporations that help spy on our phone conversations, same thing. Otherwise, I don't see any problem with hacking. Why should a company be able to ruin my computer but my neighbor can't??? Eh...
I'm starting to notice a pattern. First they DRM, then we stop buying it... I'm sure it works great for those that are computer illiterate and have a big wad of cash, but I guarantee they are losing more then they are gaining here. Only thing they do gain is a free pass to backdoor everyone's computer and invade their privacy. Where do I sign up? Yeah right...
The last time I said this I got modded to -1, or maybe it was my comment that man never walked on the moon anyways... it is not we the people it is now we the corporation. If HP listening to home phones and cell phones isn't enough proof then nothing will ever suffice to those that say it is not. Also, those that say Bush probably didn't know about intelligence being faked in regards to yellow cake or WMD are just kidding themselves. He's not stupid, the people that believe him are.
Your IT guy should be fired. If you don't have one you should consider it. Also, tell your boss to stop using AOL, because it just makes you want to leave the company and work for someone intelligent.
When it does change people are going to flip out, and all the skills they have learned will be lost in an instant. Their kids will laugh saying I can't believe you used to spend all your time on that thing. It must have really sucked to live back then.
She must have bs in sociology as well, and I'm not talking about a degree. The video games are violent, great. So put them up on the shelf with Playboy and Penthouse. That way I can still walk in and buy it. I don't want to play Mario anything and I don't even have any games without violence. The closest to a non violent game in my collections is Civilization, and that's only because their fighting scenes are incredibly lame. Does it mean your kid shouldn't be playing it? I don't know let the smarty people with bs in everything figure it out.
We need to get back to more important topics. Like... when is the RIAA going to have a cage match with the Russian mafia? Focus people... focus.
The company I'm at now monitors everything. If you look at a site they will probably have it blocked the following day. It's extremely annoying. Especially when I'm walking down the aisle noticing everyone shopping for their free wallpaper at some adware infested site that is permissible. As a native I am restless. They block my proxy sites too, wah. I'd never quit over it though these people crying should try working sometime. I wish I could be so spoiled as to quit over surfing the internet.:)
I don't think it is fair, no. AOL as a whole should accept responsibility instead of passing the buck to their CFO and whoever else got the can. Alot of people were involved in this. Even more are involved in screwing customers out of their cash, overcharging, fighting cancellations, and ignoring cancellations.
Just last week my mother called up and asked to cancel her AOL account. I warned her not to get it and only one month later she realized I was right. When she tried to cancel they kept charging, and she had to cancel her credit card.
That's AOL. They sell it like they are the internet. It's alot bigger then the CFO it is the entire company that sucks.
Let's have a vote and we can all go and place ballots on whether or not we think the RIAA should consider doing anything. I vote they stop and disband.
I never liked Limewire. The only reason that I ever used it is because you could d/l pro if you said you were a previous customer and put in email aol@aol.com. Getting the entire album is just a pain. 90% of anything I searched for returned 100 trojans 100kb in size every single time. Maybe I just really suck at searching, but I think Limewire really sucked when it came to d/ling music. The other p2p out there owned it hands down.
"With Microsoft entering the arena as a competitor to these anti-virus companies, one has to wonder about the effect on the free flow of information that ultimately benefits the consumer. "
Are you telling me that Microsoft is going to start charging money to fix their own mistakes?
We need to get there asap so that we can claim ownership, build a death ray, and start threatening civilizations that are angry about our no bid contracts and plunder of their resources.:)
Please remove the name Tesla from this car. His car did not run on Lithium batteries. It tapped into some strange force that he claimed was abundant. It required one cell in the dashboard of his car in 1890, and was clocked at over 90 mph by eye witnesses. Please do not slander him with this BS thread. thanks.
I don't care where the game comes from, but I want it to play as claimed on the box. Unfortunately neither XBox or Playstation tend to do that. Most of the racing games are all rubber banded, and it's just a waste of your cash. Then you have the fighting games which are fun for about 5 minutes when a buddy comes over. After that it's straight back to sports. Oh oops, did I just kick the ball to myself and score a touchdown in the endzone on Madden... my bad nice game. I'm go home and play on my pc now where I d/led a patch to fix that. Sorry about your luck. Don't let that bug get you down. Haha, whatever. Consoles suck.
McAfee is just a leech. They shouldn't even exist. Microsoft should have it's own virus scanner that protects users. I don't understand why these companies like McAfee, Nortons, Kaspersky, or anything else should even exist. Microsoft charges you 100's of dollars for a product that you can't safely use online without paying another company to patch it for you.
I know you want to mod me down go ahead because I'm trying for a -5.
If it wasn't for Microsoft being so damn incompetent our entire economy would collapse. Giant corporations would flounder, entire IT divisions let go, and we wouldn't have to lock up a bunch of kids for hacking.

Can I be your friend? Then maybe your daddy pay me 157k a year for a high school diploma?

OMG Al is right. We need to chop down the trees we are going to need all the wood we can get for fuel!!!

The shuttle will have one video camera, one booster from a 747, and unshielded cable. ;)
Either you fix my negative karma rating or I will equip MY Lego MANIAC with the worlds smallest pistol...
I feel bad for this guy. He's about to really find out the govt isn't on his side.

That's the last straw. I'm switching to Linux.
