"Pimping" is an excellent word in this context - it aptly describes what cybercafes could cater to in terms of personal information. > It wont be long before someone tries to legislate the same for a > private connection in > your home. It's already there unannounced- but the bullock cart Indian government is not yet doing what other governments are doing (I hope). However I recently read a report that Indian government agencies are good at doing this too. I can state what was said if anyone is interested. > I am just astounded that you have so much faith in the capability of > the police force..... You are repeating yourself. This is an assertion that you seem to want to paint me with. Why make the assertion twice because any denials I may issue are hardly likely to matter to you? Your mind is evidently already made up about what I feel. However - returning to the issue of pimping from cybercafes, I really don't care about which pimp is pimping, governmental or non-governmental, gay or straight, and do not worry about capability or competence of the pimp. Whichever way you look at it - some pimp or the other is pimping information for whatever reason. Everyone is pimping information, and the citizens of this world are cheerfully catering to those pimps. To my knowledge, my fingerprints are not yet of any official database. But they will get there sooner of later - when I apply for some kind of visa or another. My genetic information too will get on some database sooner or later. We are living in an info-pimp paradise, and its every man for himself. shiv
