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

Re: OT: Odd system folders!
Or so they alleged... The Discovery Channel is pretty much antithetical to a valid source.

Re: OT: Odd system folders!
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.

Re: OT: Odd system folders!
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.

Re: OT: Odd system folders!
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?

Re: OT: Odd system folders!
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...
