If TiVO works the same basic way my UltimateTV (Sony/DirectTV) works, having "Bubba and Ram Dass," or whatever, always in my list of recorded shows for a week would be a massive annoyance. You said you worked for TiVo, as I recall. I suggest you point out to your corporate bosses the Law of Unintended Consequences. I foresee growing irritation, hacks to permanently interfere with TIVo's spam recordings, the "Bubba and Doss" show being unfavorably smeared by angry TiVO customers, and even a grass roots campaign to monkeywrench TiVO in general. By the way, so far my Ultimate TV hasn't tried any such Big Brother tricks on me. Though they may have their own corporate clowns looking for revenue enhancement. Downloaded ads that play before every recorded show can be viewed. Schemes to disable fast-forwarding through commercials. --Tim May "The whole of the Bill [of Rights] is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals...

I am sorry, but as you can see this email is very extensive. I have been trying to remove my address from these spammer lists. Please have a look at all the messages below to see what the problem is. Could you help to stop these spammers before they even get to my mailbox. I don't want to receive them at all. (Surely after all this effort someone will listen (read) and do something about this. If I wanted this stuff, no problem, but I don't and can't get rid of it.) I have also sent an online contact email to netvisionsenterprises.com with: "Please help to stop this spamming to anton(a)email.ky: I have included some of the mail received from one of your clients. I have also included the email I sent to the abuse@ address for some of the domains listed. These emails are harassment and unsolicited. They are deliberately programmed to not be able to opt out or unsubscribe. They also constantly use different email addresses. I want this to stop. Please help me." I also got the following of the MARC site ie: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cypherpunks&m=102232666819061&w=2 List: cypherpunks Subject: FREE PORN GET OFF NOW!!

The San Jose Mercury News published my brief rebuttal to Thomas Friedman's recent Luddite piece discussed on the list. In the NYT it was titled "Webbed, Wired and Worried," http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/26/opinion/26FRIE.html, in the SJM it was called "Terrorists shake high-tech's foundation of trust'" . Here's the link, my piece ran second. http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/news/opinion/3379929.htm steve
