Default Is Bill Gates watching us?

I decided to look at the list of active users on the site tonight and saw something strange. There was a guest, and he was browsing a users profile. I looked at the profile and it was mine! Made me kind of curious so I went to http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl and entered the IP address. I won't give you the whole one, but the first two octets were 65.54.

Here is what came up:
OrgName: Microsoft Corp
OrgID: MSFT

NetRange: 65.52.0.0 - 65.55.255.255
CIDR: 65.52.0.0/14

Hell, probably, he's got his eye on everything I'm sure. Look at home PC's. Everybody has Windows Version XX. What's to say that he doesn't have something in every program that monitors stuff we do. I don't want to sound paranoid, because I'm not, but think about it this way, if you don't like it, don't use the software.

[/$0.02]

On a lighter note, that is kinda funny. It's prolly just one of those search engines that msn.com has right??

Maybe Bill Gates is going to buy a Tiburon and get a turbocharger for it. So he is going to PM me and offer me $30,000 dollars to design him a kit and tell him what to buy, because like all newbs Bill Gates does not know how to use the search button.

Kit, where do you get this stuff? The Lotus Elise was originally built in 1995, a year before the first RD1 was produced (Some were built in 96).. the current facelifted version of the elise was produced AFTER the RD series of Tiburon ended production.

Just because the Elise has four lights on the front (two of which are turnsignals) and it is a curvy body does not mean the Tib was designed off of it.
