I have a Dell Dimension 4700 with a XP Media Player.
Are you opining or do you have knowledge of govt's and their
techniques and software equipement? I have never seen any gov't
Caveats on systems as to warn a customer of their 'capabilities'. Nor
have I heard of any lawsuits against the gov't for illegal
'fingerprinting' or testing laws for what would define a 'home' or a
'search warrant'.
I rechecked my 'days' capability, and mine goes up to 999.
I just checked my History and it only has today and Friday, now,
instead of up to 3 weeks before I did the changes.
