First, though it's contrary to the /. groupthink, because Google actually cares quite a lot about user privacy.

Lol, are you joking. YouTube, trying very hard to force users to use their real name, then trying to ram Google-Plus down everyone's throat. These services give out masses of information and you have to turn off the annoyances of things like gmails 'available' for chat. I can't even comment on my own videos because of where I told them to shove google-pus.

Botnets, sooner or later these computers with their unpatched software will end up spamming and DDOSing as part of large botnets.

To be clear, the ISP has committed a criminal act (fraud), it is obtaining financial gain by deception - the concealment of the fact that no person willingly used an affiliate link.

I think that if they weren't prosecuted then they committed a crime and got away with it. The victims being the retailers and any legitimate affiliates who lost out (if that is the case).

legal consequences != justice

Why should being honourable mean martyring youself unnecessarily to a broken legal system? The law is an ass.

And if you're interested in buying that then you'll probably want one of these as well (according to amazon).

I'm not entirely sure what the link is.

'They became violent.'

According to the story 1 person became violent and attacked property, and with 'they became violent' you unfairly called them all violent, a word which is most often used to describe actions which physically harm people.

Gov't agents have a history of infiltrating organisations and promoting or committing violence in their name in order to discredit them, you should remember that before blaming the action of 1 person on the whole group that they claim to represent. /they're still all idiots though, the supply and demand of housing is down to the gov't and property developers, not a few of Google's minions.

You forgot Emoral - always behaving oneself, except when online.

Or you could encrypt and then backup to the cloud.

Backup is stored, duh.

All I want is a program that combines Autoruns with StartupMonitor. and steps in when any Dll or executable is about to be modified, hell, the OS should do that anyway.

Over 5 years I have enjoyed running my PC virus free. and without the annoyance of anti-virus software's constant nagging. VirusTotal for when I'm in doubt and a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for when I get a tinge of paranoia.

We're all targeted, they're stalking everybody, I don't think that's less bad than stalking a single person.

There is no expectation of privacy when driving a vehicle on public roads.

It's called stalking, there's a line, they went way past it.

Bruce, What you will?

The vast majority apprehended were anti-fascist counter demonstrators, police said.

No mention of anyone actually being arrested for racism, 'total spaz'.
