I'll check out the site one day .. welcome to the forum.
Well, although i don't like the big red capitals, he's right. We can't have enough people fight tcpa.. it will be a way to stop the p2p as we know it now ;)
Yes I am sorry 'bout that but it is very importatnt to all...also www.stoppoliceware.org is the one with the petition and explains how close it is to becomeing a reality. I am in no way affiliated with either of these, but when I read them it scared the crap out of me being in the US. then seriously bummed me out all in one fleeting moment. Actually both links can be found from the peerguardian database linked right from your Klite! It will soon be world wide as well, especially after MS shutsdown other OS's like linux. If that stuff scares you dont even bother looking up the "RFID tags" I am in no way resposible for any acts of violence or rioting after you read about the TCPA and the "Fritz Chip".
My father use to joke back in the early 50's they wanted to put the "V chip" (V for V are Vatching You! -say it like Crnl. Klink speaks) into TVs to monitor peoples veiwing and everyone said noway. Well its 2004 and the TV chip is now in effect and is being commercialized on TV, they are already putting them in our Comp. Bios, so how come no one ever asked me? :argue:
I was unaware this was on the cards... ;)Quote:

Yes MS hates Linux because it is open source.

I even read some crazy article once that in a poll most of China blames Bill Gates for blowing up a Chinese Embassy because of all the Chinese ripping off his software and they never pay. :bye:
If you look up the supporters such as Microsoft IBM HP Ect... They are all big boys the days of starting your own software company from scratch will be a mere memory. Take a look at the supporters They include many Large Companies (Keep in mind the supporters are Pro TCPA thats bad for us)
Everyone knows if you build a better mousetrap the world will beat a path to your door, no need to force them to it offering inferior software.
