RE:"Jim, <You think this stuff is secure? Wake up.>

Yeah, and don't forget, Intel is tracking your Net surfing habits with that Pentium III serial number. (www.bigbrotherinside.com)

Man, I wish Intel really took heed of the boycott against the Pentium III. It really seems to be impacting the sales of Pentium III systems, no?

jajajajajajajajajajajaja"

---I guess we aren't talking about the same thing...I was talking about security issues and you throw in Sales? I was wasn't talking about net security either.

I have never really understood the paranoia about the serial number. Anyone with a network card in their machine already has a unique serial number that identifies their machine. With the widening acceptance of ADSL and Cable modem access all these folks, even without a CPU id are uniquely identifiable!?
