I wouldn't say I blindly clicked it, but truth be told, I was not overly concerned about it (annoyed, but not concerned). The machine gets wiped and reinstalled every few months, doing so does not disable my Internet access. It is dedicated to another purpose, it's not for email, banking, etc. Sometimes the kids play games on it. That's about it. Even my kids have Linux on their laptops. Thanks for assuming otherwise, I appreciate your concern about my home network :)
Why all the hate on Comcast? I see this a lot on various lists, and besides their DNS servers being flaky at times (I stopped using their DNS servers long ago because of this), I personally have not had trouble with them. Even bittorrent works (gasp) using default settings. Are they just too big to be loved? :) Thanks, James On Fri, Oct 7, 2011 at 10:53 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, 07 Oct 2011 10:47:13 EDT, Terrence said: > > > To the guy saying that comcast requires an executable to authenticate > you. > > Ha.
