Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. :-) Seriously, I have been aware of Microsoft's coziness with the NSA since about 1992 when they maintained an office on Microsoft's 'campus' in Redmond. I've always taken it for granted that Microsoft extends them special priviledges. Complaining to your representatives is useless in this case since the NSA operates above the law and with total disregard for the constitutionality of their actions. The only solution (for me at least) is an all-out boycott of Microsoft products. -- Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
