they're everywhere i tell ya.

*looks over his shoulder*
*puts tin foil over his head* <-- simpsons episode where baseball league
was spying on consumers

P.S. I doubt anyone saw this commercial (for NFL) for the Ottawa Senators
but its a parody of Sixth Sense. The 2 are in the car at a stop light, and a
crossing guard is helping kids cross the street and the kid in the car tursn
to his mom and says in a whisper "i see hockey players". cracks me up every
time

Excellent point Slyde. I noticed that even this mail list isn't very secure
in that it does not mask your IP address that you sent your email from. If
you send email from the same computer you play Everquest on, and use a
client like Microsoft Outlook (or Eudora), then it's quite likely you are
broadcasting your IP address (kinda like I am, but this isn't my home
computer).

Once someone has your IP address, they can try all sorts of attacks and try
to sniff out your password, unless you have a firewall. Are we paranoid yet?
