High-Tech Masquerades Perversion as Science
,----[ Quote ]
| Non-Windows users lead sheltered lives; they are not subject to the endless
| tsunamis of adware and spyware that Windows users enjoy so much. It's this
| tolerance of such abuses that makes me despair for humanity-- is it because
| it's more abstract than crowds of live humans keeping them under constant
| surveillance? Would they tolerate strangers snooping in their closets,
| peeking in their underwear, noting and recording every private act? I used to
| think the answer was "No, of course not!" but any more I wonder.
