the evidence is overwhelming. some people are extremists and cannot accept the truth. the evidence is that they're connecting to a list of sites to check if you are online. most likely this guy has a paranoid software firewall that makes a random connection seem like world war three.

What an idiot!

rkapski, that's what I thought at first too. But since limewire.com and limewire.org aren't in those sites....

In the end, the evidence of Hornet were so good, I cetainly hope he works as a detective, cop or even his country secret agency I was waiting for packet sniffer logs, firewall logs, limewire open source code...

Default Why Bother?

Guys, guys

Why bother argue with Hornet, he's not going to change his mind plus he thinks we have a religious thing for LW.

Remember, you can only have a discussion if both sides are reasonable, you can't if one side is a brick wall.

Life is too short.

Bungie was actually a Mac game company and was supposed to get Halo for Mac first. Then Microsft bought Bungie to get Halo as a launch title for the Xbox.
