| 563480 | 2007-06-28 02:05:00 | I see "junior member" 2 posts and can understand where you are comming from. | kjaada (253) | ||
| 563481 | 2007-06-28 02:38:00 | Did you really need to post all those? Just because the Internet is anonymous doesn't mean that everything goes. Thats why we don't put up bomb making recipes or how-to enrich uranium instructions here. This might be a bit of a surprise to you but there are actually bad people on the Internet who need information to do nefarious activities. We try not to help them. |

So i guess to stop the 5% who might be doing something malicious we punish the other 95% right? Im just trying to help . I have read these forums for a very long time and I sometimes get the feeling there are more moral warriors around than people who are genuinely here to help with technical solutions . |

| 563483 | 2007-06-28 03:45:00 | If you call a teenager, visitor or jilted girlfriend trying to get the password for someones laptop and maybe all sorts from there then I am 110% for moral issues.I do not mean that in respect to this issue but you will gather what I mean.Not much would have been asked to just give a bit of reassurance to people. | kjaada (253) | ||
| 563484 | 2007-06-28 04:04:00 | So i guess to stop the 5% who might be doing something malicious we punish the other 95% right? No-one has "punished" anyone . Those with genuine problems are helped . Smartasses and people trying to steal get told to *** off . |

| 563485 | 2007-06-28 04:09:00 | Try stolen laptop stats in Google. Computer Theft & Recovery Statistics Over 600,000 laptop thefts occurred in 2004, totaling an estimated $720 million in hardware losses and $5.4 billion in theft of proprietary information. — Safeware Insurance, 2004 97% of stolen computers are never recovered. — FBI 81% of companies reported the loss of one or more laptops containing sensitive information during the past 12 months. — Ponemon Institute, 2006 The chances of a laptop being stolen are 1 in 10. — Gartner Group, 2002 I vote to give imjason the boot - and, sorry, but I don't believe pou006's story. |

| 563487 | 2007-06-28 04:35:00 | I sincerely hope it is a coincidence but ; I just went to check my email on Ihug and got a popup. Password refused and then a request for a new password. Done nothing in the mean time. |
