You have to supply your e-mail address, demographic information (country, zip code, age, sex; household income, industry, job title, job function, and must agree to the terms of their Subscriber Agreement. I wonder Oscar, have you actually read their "Subscriber Agreement" ? Its at the very bottom of the page in smaller font where you click "submit". Come on Oscar fess up, you didnt read it did you :-) I have made a personal decision not to subscribe to any of these places that request such information and I suggest that ppl do read those agreements. What happens if the place files for Chap 11 in the States; who will then buy the company; what will they do with your information? It happens. I can get all the news I want from 'freeer' sources. >>>http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/technology/tech-tech-linux.html >>There's no point in posting things from the NYTimes, because it requires >>registration to get in.

Also just a short paragraph included from the article would help sluggers here to decide if they wanted to click on it - especially if they are on a dialup from home. These news sites are notorious for bandwidth sucking. -- Mike Lake Uni of Technol., Sydney UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER ======================================================================== This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.
