Ok Paul,

So you have found another. Lets look at the pravacys this twit is asking the rest of us to give up so he can feel better:

1) With this feature turned on,
Web surfers could leave fingerprints everywhere they go. Web sites can collect this
information to see who its visitors are, and government agencies could use the serial
numbers for all sorts of nefarious purposes.

2) People want to be free to explore controversial sites and delve into
topics that could cause embarrassment, economic hardship or strains in personal
relationships if their identities were revealed.

3) That said, an ironclad control mechanism is key to making this chip both useful and
acceptable. Computer users must have the option of turning off the ID in the same
way telephone users can block caller ID.

How are you able to guarantee this now????

Bruce
