RE: [Full-Disclosure] Bios programming...

["Matt Marooney" <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your wonderful sarcastic wit and humor for the end of my
day.  I'm not sure if you checked before making your comments, but there
are already services out there that do this...and make money doing this.
Contrary to popular belief, there are people in the world that want to
get help for their problems.  I'll disregard the troll comment as this
is the first time I've NEEDED to post anything to this list.  I've been
reading it for years now.  Thanks.

I see millions of poor addicts that would love to get logs sent to some

That's easy, will easily run on millions of different hardware

You are lying.

There is no reason why someone would sign up for a service that installs
some application that is invisible and not removable and sents data to
some "service".

In the end you are either a insufficient troll[1] or someone who has no
idea of nothing. Oh, or you are working for the Bush administration.
