wonders whether the NSA/NZ (laugh) SIS tracks access to Arabic websirtes such as aljazeera

[dustyslapper]

You can guarantee they do, and they intercept all electronic communication.

Aljazeera was the best news source by miles in the Invasion of Iraq. Until some tards hacked the site and replaced it with a "let freedom ring" page - which goes to show how ****ing retarded patriots are.

So you are trying to say that they already know about my uncontrollable porn fetish.

I might have to make a point to learn arabic and send emails to myself at a undisclosed hotmail account, and see how long it takes before I visit Guadalcanal.

Duh, it is was thinking about getting Thin Red Line when I wrote that... which reminds me.

Makes you wonder though - if MS was selling OSes for $50 would people still pirate them?

I wonder what the sweet spot for maximum return would be - where the cheaper it is the more legitimate copies would be sold. What do you think?

[ringonz]

you are probably right there dusty, the same could go for pirated music and movies. If the made CD's/DVD's cheaper say $5 or $10 would we pirate as much?

[Haunted]

Yes, I think we would :p

There are alot of cheap people out there :D
(myself included)
