RE: FW: Windows Live and Privacy

["Richards, Jim" <jim.richards () dot state wi us>]

When I lived in London,  the CCTV cameras were everywhere.

Anyone can request video from any camera, and I am assuming they do not have
to contact everyone in the requested footage for permission before complying
with the request.

Isn't this about the same, only more convenient for the information
requestor?

I doubt if you could find more than one person in a million who knows me.

Interesting story. THis happened about 16 years ago, when Dr SOlomon's 
Antivirus Toolkit" was the premier product in many countries.

I went to my 10-yo daughter's school pantomime, which was very good. As we
left afterwards, a little gorl came up to me and said "I know who you
are!"  "Ah," I said, preening a bit, even an under-10 kid know me!

"You're Angela's dad."


Ever since then, it's been a family joke, whenever I get a bit big-headed, 
I get reminded who I am. "You're Angela's dad".


Epilogue.

So, when Angela graduated, we went down to her uni as proud parents to 
watch the ceremonies and congratulate her. Afterwards, there was a 
cheese-and-wine do at the English Literature faculty, and she dragged us 
along to that, too. And a guy came up to me at the party, and said "I know 
who you are". Yeah, yeah, I thought, been there, done that, I'm Angela's 
Dad. "You're Dr Solomon, wrote the Antivirus Toolkit". Apparently, he'd 
been one of the people who resold the software to end-users.
