The discovery channel runs a lot of garbage conspiracy theory stuff, you know... You aren't supposed to believe it as real.

Well the guys that they interviewed were Secret Service Men.... so I think this was on the up and up.

Or so they alleged... The Discovery Channel is pretty much antithetical to a valid source.

Never the less the yellow dots proved true, and so will the the CDRom stuff.

Whether or not the government is behind it, well that certainly is a valid point of contention. I don't believe they are, although, I am sure that they benefit from it.

Microsoft was recently exposed for loading NSA back door program keys into their operating systems. It's not a matter of factual or not. Lotus too, and a few other companies.

There even is a patch that'll let you change the key now.

A link to a CNN story about the NSA connection And here is another link that has another MS employee offering yet another explamination for the back doors that differ from the first article. If they cannot keep their story's strait, then what are we to believe?

Do you have any creditable (not sensationalist news story) sources on the yellow dot thing?

AT - if you're that bothered about MS, run Linux. Then all you have to worry about is getting SEIV & V to run...

Last year, an article in PC World magazine pointed out that printouts from many color laser printers contained yellow dots scattered across the page, viewable only with a special kind of flashlight. The article quoted a senior researcher at Xerox Corp. as saying the dots contain information useful to law-enforcement authorities, a secret digital "license tag" for tracking down criminals.

If you choose not believe this than that is fine Fyron. Its real, its not a conspiracy theory, its not imagined, and all because it was disclosed on the discovery channel, a channel that you sight without any proof at all as being dubious in its program honesty, doesn't discount the fact that the dots are real. I would ask you to provide proof that the discovery channel's programing is dishonest. I would ask you to disprove the yellow dots as I have already provided sufficient proof as to their existence and use with the "news" article link. Unless that site is in league with the Discovery Channel and or is a spoof site, which I believe it is not, then the article is valid as is the information it reports upon.

I am not alone with being "that bothered" by the things that MS does Dogscoff, however what can we do? To install and run linux is not an option. I lack the needed PC skills to do so and while that is regrettable, it is the reality I live in. I am simply stuck with what I have as are many people. And when a problem is posted it's being posted with the hopes that someone else has already ran into the problem and might know a solution as indeed was the case here.
