Warrantless Intrusion: yet another reason for Using GNU/Linux (but it may
not
be enough)
,----[ Quote ]
| All manner of campaigns have been tried to persuade Windows users to

time will tell, | but the latest electronic assault on the integrity of
computers which | emanates from the British Government via a European
directive might just tilt | the balance in favour of free and open
software. I suspect however that the | hard-core Redmondnites will
blunder on as usual making the internet a gold | mine for any individual,

information your computer. So, what exactly is warrantless | intrusion?

information, power and control | is to create an open source ISP funded
by its members like some kind of | modern Friendly Society which would be
founded on democratic principles and | funded by the members. It seems
impossible but the Wikipedia project ought | not to exist either - but it
does. The other long shot is to pray for the | sudden emergence of a
technological singularity which moves so impossibly | fast that
governments cannot keep pace with counter measures. Failing that we | all
become Luddites and forswear computers and the internet entirely.

Absolutely freakin amazing. Here's an issue that appears to interest you. So
instead of using the web and maybe searching for some relevant data and
information on the subject you ask some uninformed lunatic to tell you what
you should think about the situation. The same nutjob Homer who posted here
that people - 'should be arrested and jailed for what they said.'
Yeah... that's one great "source" that you get /your/ information and your
knowledge from.
Typical Zeke assuming and flying off the handle again.
