1. Comment - Pro-democracy Journalist Sentenced in China

   (Oct 28, 2006 - 2:26 PM)

   Black-wolf, those same shamefull statements have been made throughout history in an effort to justify shamefull and disgusting deeds.
   Rights, freedom, they are words, but the things they stand for have always existed, before there was language, before there were humans. Hopefully, the internet can now give the Earth and ALL of her inhabitants a voice, so deeds that some people want to go unnoticed and hidden, can be dragged out, and forced into the full glare of the public spotlight.
   No one owns the earth, god help us if that ever happens.

   China is a ticking economic time bomb. The government there are well aware that sooner or later the country is going to have a very huge impact on the worlds economy, orders of magnitude much greater than they do now. They want to be in full control of this sleeping giant, and so we see the behaviour that we find in the west so disgusting. Very poor human rights, poor civil liberties, with extreme censorship and public executions. Non existant animal rights with treatment amounting to torture and practices such as skinning alive being allowed, (and yes the disgusting fur trade does have a lot to answer for). God help us when the sleeping giant wakes.

   Hey remember Robocop? Maybe Ed-209 lives on....
   
   [d*** Jones directs Kinney to threaten ED-209. Kinney points a gun at the robot.]
   
   ED-209: PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON. YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO COMPLY.
   
   d*** Jones: I think you'd better do what he says, Mr. Kinney.
   
   [Alarmed, Kinney quickly tosses the gun away. ED-209 growls menacingly.]
   
   ED-209: YOU NOW HAVE 15 SECONDS TO COMPLY.

4. Comment - Microsoft Sued Over WGA Program

   Thats exactly the point, its not a mobile phone its an OS. I dont have to be really clever to guess that on my mobile phone, calls can be listened to, even if its just by the person sitting by me in the cafe. Many companies that i call will tell me before i even speak to anyone that my call will possibly be recorded and logged. The point is that i KNOW, they have TOLD me. Now call me old fashioned but if my TV, DVD player, fridge or even computer is suddenly going to start sending some information concerning me to persons unknown at places unknown, then i would like to be told about that too, maybe even just possibly asked? or is that just too much to expect? (Yes, i know my ISP will have the info, has my address, and even my bank details but they have them with my full consent, in fact when they ASK i even give them voluntarily!)

   Despite what people may say to try and justify it, the whole point really is that WGA phones home, which gives amongst other info, the exact time and date you logged on and your IP which can give your geographic location. This is without informing you or asking your permission to give THIS information. I have no problem with them protecting their property but what business is it of a company, as to know exactly the time and the day and even the location that i am using their product. Imagine if your own car called someone to give the exact time and date it was started and driven, and the locations you started from. People do have a right to privacy whether Bill Gates likes it or not, and we should not be so complacent as to give up any aspect of that right at all. The phrase "the thin end of the wedge" springs to mind.
