Pentium III chip with the individual serial number that can
track your web surfing and buying habits can now have the ID number
turned on and off by software.  Following some links I found the
www.fightdivx.com website and noticed that they have a Intel Boycott
page with links, quotes and info on why you should boycott the
invasion of privacy Pentium III chips. Just like everyone suspected,
the ID number can be taken without a customers knowledge. Just like
cellular phone fraud, once someone has your unique ID number, they
could pose as you on the internet.  Do not be fooled by reports that
this problem is fixed because Intel disabled this feature by software
on their up coming chips.  Information is power. They want to know
your surfing and buying habits. That is what this is all about. Here
is the link to the page with the boycott info and links.

Also you will find a Boycott Intel screen saver and banner on their
page above. Spread it around.

It's amazing how a post entitled along the lines of
'don't reply to this thread' is just too tempting for james.

Is this the same as having a big red button with 'do not push
me on?'

The latest spam came from earthlink:  complain to ab...@earthlink.net.

The website is hosted by value.net:  ab...@value.net.

Send them a copy of the full posting (including headers),  along with a
*courteous* request that they persuade their customer(s) to either:

   a. play nice,  or
   b. get the *#$% out of the Usenet sandbox.

Unfortunately,  it may take a while to run them out of ISPs:  the
earthlink posting appears to have come from Santa Clara,  where POPs are
almost as common as phone booths.
