Oh fantastic... and I just got a new laptop.
Guess it wont hurt to rip it apart and look for one of those buggers...
==Edit==
Aparently someone tried this same thing with Dell previously:
http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/dellbug.asp
The article you linked is identical except that 'Dell' has been replaced by 'Manufacture'.
Whew.
==Edit #2==
Thanks for replying before I hit 'refresh' Sam.

| Considering them things run around 100 bucks no wonder a laptop is so expensive lol but in regards to this its BS and it shouldn't be allowed... my guess is it is a way for them to crack down on hackers since they can use a laptop anywhere at anytime. |

I hope the US Government enjoyed wasting the tax payer's money in all the time they invest in reviewing the globe's cyber-sex chat logs.
They just keep pushing and pushing...

That is very interesting...It would be wise to submit this to a news station, IE Fox news/O'reilly/Shawn Hannity, and see what they think of it.

Good point.
However still, if they push too far, I'm not concerned with supposed so-called citizen uproar and restricting them from doing so.
I hope for a catalyst of creating wide technical awareness in the ignorant public.
Nowdays, over half the userbase doesn't know how to properly maintain a box with MS OS.
Hopefuly, with enough pushing, the hunger for privacy and control over your own machine dwell enough to raise the masses onto a mediocre linux administrators, which in itself would only serve as a jumping board base towards further technical expertese.
Then, one day, the government, any of them, will end up waking onto a new dawn where the single citizen isn't so digitaly-alone nor unaware anymore.
And trying to pull any government, RIAA or otherwise tricks will simply bring a backlashing onslaught of hacker-level general users.
Ignore the ramblings of an ol' coot...

When will Americans ever learn.....
Why is Canada better than America?
1) Canada has a tax-payed health system where everyone is equal.
2) Canada doesn't have it's government looking down everyone's backs because they know what the people want.
3) Canada is fully democratic and they look for the best because if they screw up then it costs them the next election.
4) Peace is greater than war.
5) Welfare for poor people.
6) Canada protects it's Citizens. |

Higher taxes because money is pooled together on a lot of things.
The health care is poorer because it is a system that if 1 person falls, everyone falls with. |

Erm, If i get this correct, *When will BUSH ever learn?*
And not to be racist and whatnot. When will illegal aliens (Mexicans, Etc.) ever learn to come to the US Legal? We should really put that wall up on the mexican border with an electric fence and stuff. But wait, we americans prolly can't do that since bush started coming out of his shell telling the truth about falty explosions and stuff in iraq. And then giving money to re-build when they already have enough money. Fuck i hate bush. Stupid ass doesnt know what he's doing. |

That is by far the most ignorant thing i've ever seen on this forum... Not all black people are poor and nor are all people on welfare black... I hope you burn in hell for that comment and some black guys beat your ass with your own arms...  |
