Yes.. in my case that would be me.

I can tell you what my machine has connected too for the last 46 days ATM

thanks.

Doesn't your firewall have logs? If it doesn't there are some good ones

based on FreeBSD that are free.

If they are too difficult for you then you can ask for help in the user

forums.. do it before you block everything though.

You don't have the ability to think. You've proved that countless

times.

 

Ballmer is a overpaid blowhard that seems to enjoy making a total ass

of himself in public. No wonder you try to copycat him. Difference is

he does have the money you pretend you have. <snicker>

My system runs 24/7 and no I don't monitor every connection it makes. If I

did, there'd hardly be time to do anything else in my life. Do you? I run

an operating system that doesn't phone home other than to look for upgrades

from the Ubuntu main repo. And I want it to do that or I'd tell it not to.

I certainly could NOT live with running an operating system that needed to

phone home in order to give me permission to run the bloody thing.

 

Cheers.

Yes, as opposed to ignoble as is exemplified by Frank and his other

Its easy to do.. just look for new destinations occationally.

So you say.. however you do not know that.

You have no way to know what your "unix" system is doing unless you look.

I don't think you have the knowledge to look properly.

But you do live with one that phones home to get updates that you know

nothing about or who wrote them or for what reason?

It also keeps popping up and asking for your password every time you want to

run an admin program.. really annoying that.

Do you really think making all Linux users look like prats is a noble cause?

Its all you succeed in doing with your stupid comments.

As a Linux user I wish you would go and play with a Mac and annoy them

instead.

User access control. You can switch it off using the control

panel. Or you can type user access control into the

help and support section, and it will provide a link.

 

Ever use Linux??? heh. RTFM!!!

Someone here doesn't use Ubuntu even though they claim to.. Ubuntu asks for

your password whenever it needs to run as root.. like configuring networks,

adding programs, etc., similar to UAC on Vista but with a password to make

it more secure (maybe)..
