....we are not amused. I am not surprised either as we all have an understanding that whatever we do on our computers is watched. Hell your own ISP keeps records on what you serf online and it is available at any time to the authority's.

Here is a typical end user agreement with an ISP that purposes what you do online is punishable by law is it ? I don't see it written in English but it is there in what we say as intent.

Not at all but I never read it in full and cleaning it up for display purposes and removing all references to Whom it belongs to made me read it :smile:

Besides FIND in MS word lets you replace all key words with whatever you want and ***** blacking out the ISP's name was easy.

I have my minions morking on a mirror ISP agreement holding them liable for my actions. In the mean time, I am stocking up more canned goods, plastiques and ammo in my bomb shelter and scanning/recording all radio and infrared frequencies for intel and evidence.

You are to late for any of your above mentioned precautions.

Besides the microchips imbedded in your breakfast cereal will enable all MS personnel to track you down and use your Bunker after they kick you out into the inevitable fallout.

All set for next Friday. Last few days been spending hours on the phone organising and cancelling stuff. HP owe me a small fortune for all the free advertising they've had from me! Boxes everywhere. Rooms are bare, wardrobes empty etc. Only the shed left to sort and we're sorted. Whole family is roped into helping out. Some at the new place, some where we are now.`

One thing I can tell you, I don't want to do it again for a very very long time. So many things to do. Couldn't bloody afford it either. We're moving to a bigger, 3 bed house, and the legal side of things (lawyer fees, mortgage charges, search fees, estate agents, stamp duty) comes to almost £6k. Thank fcuk we had that saved up, otherwise we'd be living in a cardboard box in the gutter.

I'll be glad when it's all done now.

What's wrong with a cardboard box in the gutter? That's where spitfire lives, isn't it? Well, on second thought....

Ahh, you two will have all the rooms christened in no time.

I hate to jump back to the topic that this thread was origionally intended for, but I was thinking about this the other day, and I was wondering why it was only on color (maybe laser only) printers. We have 1 color laser here and maybe 20 or so B&W lasers. I understand that the colored dots make them hard to see, but why track color and not all printers? And if they do track all printers, why would there be different methods?

So to me, this makes a lot of sense....

HELL NO!

Well, not really... I don't really care who wins... I am just hoping for some good baseball...

If they win, we will never hear the end of it, but if they win, Cubs upper management MIGHT get their asses in gear.

P.S. I hit the bottom of the locked thread a few days ago...

Heh-heh, figured not. Guess I can a little, since our AA team is their affiliate and the Cards got knocked out. That closer, Bobby Jenks, was awesome when he was down here.
