Concern
|
||
|
-------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Things to be concerned about. These are issues that will be affecting
|
||
|
you in the future in one way or another.. most are things that have
|
||
|
been going on for some time, but are still unresolved. If you know about
|
||
|
them, and are aware of what they are doing to hinder people, you may decide
|
||
|
to help the fight against them.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Communications Decency Act: You may have heard this term in the news
|
||
|
recently. The 'CDA' is a small part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
|
||
|
The primary purpose of the bill is to deregulate the phone and cable
|
||
|
industry by removing restrictions currently in place. A sub-section
|
||
|
of this bill is labeled the 'CDA', and involves censoring several things
|
||
|
on the internet. The bill bans anything 'indecent', 'obscene', 'lewd',
|
||
|
(and 5 or 6 other adjectives). Consider the term indecent along with the
|
||
|
fact the supreme court (or any goverment agency) has not defined indecent
|
||
|
for today's society. The bill goes on to ban/censor any/all nudity,
|
||
|
talk about breast size, urination, sexual intercourse, abortion,
|
||
|
as well as the "7 dirty words". Here are just a few of the topics
|
||
|
now considered "illegal":
|
||
|
|
||
|
Urinary Tract Disease
|
||
|
Breast Cancer
|
||
|
Plastic Surgery
|
||
|
Rape/Sexual Intercourse
|
||
|
Abortion Recovery
|
||
|
Alchohol Anonymous
|
||
|
Drug Recovery/Addiction
|
||
|
Large portions of the bible
|
||
|
|
||
|
This also means some our favorite literature is to be banned (again).
|
||
|
These topics will give you a small flavor of what will be illegal from
|
||
|
here on out. Take into account the bill was signed by a majority in both
|
||
|
House and Senate, and immediately signed by the President. Despite the
|
||
|
fact the CDA is unconstitutional, it was passed quickly. After this was
|
||
|
brought up in public, the president had the balls to say something to the
|
||
|
effect of "Since it is unconstitutional, we won't enforce it". This just
|
||
|
after a State Court suspended the bill.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bottom Line: The president knowingly and intentionally signed and passed
|
||
|
an unconstitutional bill. That is not part of a democracy.

Microsoft: You may not think much of them, or realize the shit they are
|
||
|
getting away with. Every day they are breaking laws left and right, yet
|
||
|
stand uncontested and continue to do it. False Advertising is their
|
||
|
biggest market right now, and the American consumers are eating it up
|
||
|
without a second thought. Their current long term goal (if publicly known)
|
||
|
would outrage every person using their product because of the purely
|
||
|
financial interests behind it. I will touch on two examples.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Windows95: If you go back and try to find some of the original advertisements
|
||
|
or technical literature, you would find they never released what they
|
||
|
advertised. Once you look past their continued promises for a release date,
|
||
|
and past all of the advertising hype showing nothing remotely technical
|
||
|
about the new 'OS', you are left with one of the most pitiful excuses
|
||
|
of a software package released to date. The first major misconception
|
||
|
is that Win95 is an Operating System. It isn't. One quick and dirty
|
||
|
way to put this argument to an end. Go in and delete /dos, /windows/command,
|
||
|
and your autoexec/config files. If DOS isn't needed (which it was for 3.x)
|
||
|
then get rid of it. The /windows/command directory contains DOS files for
|
||
|
spawning a DOS shell, no need for them. Last, the autoexec.bat and config.sys
|
||
|
files that we used to use, get rid of those. Boot your computer.
|
||
|
Wait.. I guess I should have warned you to back everything up, but I guess
|
||
|
I am right. Win95 is NOT an O/S by any means. It is a half 16/32 bit
|
||
|
PLATFORM just like Win 3.1 was. It disguises its nature a little better.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Long Term Goal: 1994 - Chicago (Codename for Win 4.0/Dos 7.0)
|
||
|
1995 - Windows95 (Scrapped codename, gave it full name,
|
||
|
decided not to release full DOS,
|
||
|
1996 - FixIt Upgrades to 95
|
||
|
1996 - Development of 'Cairo'
|
||
|
1997 - General release of 'Cairo'
|
||
|
|
||
|
What is now codenamed 'Cairo' is basically Windows NT for the
|
||
|
masses. Its current status is apparently everything that Win95 promised
|
||
|
to be. As usual, Microsoft will lead the market as being 'Upgrade Slaves'
|
||
|
requiring you to dump significant amounts of money on underdeveloped,
|
||
|
overpriced software.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bottom Line: You can live without their products. Quit supporting their
|
||
|
poor marketing and poor software. Demand better from them
|
||
|
if you dish out any money.

America Online: A seemingly harmless company leeching onto the internet
|
||
|
bandwagon. Instead of the family oriented online service, you have a
|
||
|
company that doesn't care. It doesn't care about the customers, what
|
||
|
they are doing to the net, or how they are infringing on your rights.
|
||
|
Instead of bringing 5 million people on the internet, they bring
|
||
|
5 million computer illiterate people onto the net bombarding the existing
|
||
|
network with wasted bandwidth, repetitive questions, and general
|
||
|
stupidity. The problem exists from both sides of America Online though.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Users: The stereotype of AOLers being lame, obnoxious, and completely
|
||
|
clueless is there for a reason. Every day net users have to suffer
|
||
|
through more and more repetitive stupid questions on usenet, more
|
||
|
and more FTP's, and more pointless mail on mail lists. AOLers typically
|
||
|
will not read applicable FAQs regarding newsgroups, services, or
|
||
|
netiquette. Instead of lurking on a newsgroup for a few weeks to see
|
||
|
the kind of conversation that exists, they will often jump right in
|
||
|
with unrelated topics, or litter the groups with "me too" posts.
|
||
|
Roughly 50 AOL users a day lose their accounts due to mail/usenet spams
|
||
|
of various types.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Company: With as many users as there are, you would figure the
|
||
|
service they are receiving is good. Instead of superior service,
|
||
|
these users are dealing with incompetant technical support, hour long
|
||
|
(or more) waits for any kind of help on the phone, constant cases
|
||
|
of overbilling (even after account cancellation), slow networks, busy
|
||
|
dialins, poor response time on mail to support, and a fascist
|
||
|
policy on network behavior. The TOS (Terms of Service) prohibit many
|
||
|
kinds of discussion, many words or phrases used in normal conversation,
|
||
|
as well as some opinions on different topics. I could go into
|
||
|
great detail and make a seperate file out of this (which may come
|
||
|
later) but I won't. Go to alt.aol-sucks and read the messages there.
|
||
|
They should give you a good idea of some of the crap this company
|
||
|
does.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bottom Line: Don't support them. They are overpriced, unresponsive,
|
||
|
and uncaring about their customers.

Church of Scientology: Not a church by any conventional means, this
|
||
|
group has managed to pull off some disturbing events in the past.
|
||
|
What started out as a "church" based on L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics
|
||
|
book, this group has developed into one of today's evil sects.
|
||
|
To advance in this church requires money.. and lots of it. Over time
|
||
|
(the whole time dishing out money), you will be given more of the
|
||
|
"church secrets" and obtain new "OT" levels placing you in the
|
||
|
church hierarchy. There exists a huge online war between scientologists
|
||
|
and opponents to the church. Many ex-members spend huge amounts of time
|
||
|
fighting the church.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The part to be concerned about comes in their past actions. Anytime
|
||
|
the church catches wind of someone posting or publically releasing
|
||
|
some of their 'secrets', they will begin harassing that individual.
|
||
|
In the past they have used many illegal methods of doing this, in some
|
||
|
cases killing the person's dog. Due to more criticism they have moved
|
||
|
to taking anyone and everyone to court over their 'secrets'. Before
|
||
|
going to court, the church has somehow managed to pull some amazing
|
||
|
feats of legal work having people's house searched, computers confiscated,
|
||
|
and privacy invaded upon. They continue to do it to this day.
|
||
|
Read alt.religion.scientology for more about what is going on.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bottom Line: What started out as a set of infomercials has turned into
|
||
|
an evil money hungry sect. Don't support them.

These are only three issues which everyone should be aware of. There
|
||
|
are countless other events and companies you should be aware of, but
|
||
|
they will be addressed later. Make yourself aware of what is going
|
||
|
on around you. Find something you believe in and fight for it.
