i drive a ford festiva.
dear god....if i wasn't a broke university student, that thing would have been gone long, long ago. granted, it runs fine, and hasn't fallen apart yet...but...it's a ford. festiva. ford = junk, in my mind, and festiva = a big joke.
i'm getting myself a toyota as soon as i can afford it. my family's had them for years, and they're absolutely wonderful vehicles.

<b>US web site sued for major privacy violations</b>
Highlights:
NEW YORK (AFP) - New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer filed a lawsuit accusing a company of selling e-mail addresses in what he described as the largest deliberate breach of privacy in Internet history.
The suit against web site operator Gratis Internet alleges that the company sold personal information obtained from millions of consumers under a strict promise of confidentiality.
...
Gratis Internet is best known for promising free iPods, televisions and DVDs to users willing to sign up for promotions offered by partners such as Citibank and Blockbuster.
The promotions required a registrant to sign up five others into the programme -- a process which drew criticism for being nothing more than a glorified pyramid scheme.
Contrary to the company's assurances of privacy, Spitzer's lawsuit accused Gratis owners Peter Martin and Robert Jewell with selling access to lists of millions of Gratis customers to three independent e-mail marketers.
"In each of these deals, Gratis wrongfully shared between one and seven million confidential user records," Spitzer said.
Edit: didn't realize the link was so long!

Good job I only used me "junk" email address to sign up.
Posted: 3/24/2006, 8:19 pm
I have a junk address too. And when I sign up for things online, I used random creative names every time. So when I get emails with the subject directed at me (e.g. "Kathy enlarge your penis today"), I can tell which site sold off my name and contact info, based on the name I used to sign up.
Buggers.

Come on, it IS a ridiculous headline.

Not really.

Any article that states "such and such group is America's most distrusted..." is unfortunate. It's just rather strange that Athiests would be tagged as such.

Again. Not really.
