humm..... on bjoernvold do we speak about some spy-problems, it's maybe, perhaps, wanted/desirable
in one part, to know how many notebook run and other part for updates (like on androides, the updateroutine)
and an completely different part maybe different spy facility's from different lands .. and then in other hand blackhat's,
or other hackers who want to be the notebooks infected .. where get many money to software ingenieur who create
some bioses or software who build into there back doors and other nasties ..
If we start thinking about, can we never stop, because, around the world gives so different facet of creativity .. you know ..
to be thinking about goes up to the infinity and further .. the only way for make more safety, save you self or don't a think about ..
and live therewith, because, if you not harms ... it's like the animals bloody sucker and other parasites, it existent and maybe
make it's a bit more stronger, but exempt, liberated do you be never, because it's like the germs and others .. viruses .. in the world now ..
there in the net and on the all Computers in the world ...
you can only clean up you self ... in one or other way.. you see ..
or help on an Computersystem like Reactos or OpenMandriva for have
an System who can you control and manage really by self ..
best regards
