Ping.
And you might even put the words "dirty" and "nuclear" in front of it a few times just to really make it interesting.

Post it on Slashdot (www.slashdot.org) for immediate and rapid debunking.
Why is it a hoax? What did you investigate? What were the findings? Are they real or a message, "we're going to kick your terrorist ass" from the Justice Department?
As an online newspaper that has done a report, almost ready for publication, that includes names, not to be used in the report, only for my own info, and details about infiltration of our border with canada.
Yes, it does make me think. It makes me think you need to put down your screwdriver and get out of the house more.

And what proof is there that the letter regarding the FOIA request pertains to the computer? None.
If you're paranoid about the chip, remove it.
bump for later--to see how long it takes to expose the hoax.
I have a hard time believing this, but if it is true, then call the ACLU (and post their response).

They did, in fact, have a few programs like "support.exe" hammering on the firewall all the time.
And in fact, on their online "support" forums, explanations were refused and inquiries ignored regarding this constant polling.
I like my Dell. But I cannot trust them, and will not buy another because of the stonewalling I got when asking what they were doing with my cable connection. I have every right to know.
All those "helpful" programs have been removed and muzzled.
Look at the blurred out address. Long and beaurocratic looking. Clearly not the address of regular guy. Also, the blurred address is in Washington, DC. I wonder where the guy who wrote this lives? DC?
Good tips. You remember what the names of all of the .exe files were?
Yes I did and the link to the mirror site:
