    More Chinese Shenanigans...

    Maxtor Drives Contain Password-Stealing Trojans

    ComputerWorld reported that Seagate Technology LLC has shipped Maxtor disk drives that contain Trojan horses that upload data to a pair of Chinese Web sites, the Taiwanese government's security service warned this weekend. The Investigation Bureau, a part of the Ministry of Justice that's responsible for both internal security and foreign threats, said it suspected mainland China's authorities were responsible for planting the malware on the drives at the factory. "The bureau said that the method of attack was unusual, adding that it suspected Chinese authorities were involved," a story posted by the English-language Taipei Times reported Sunday. "Sensitive information may have already been intercepted by Beijing through the two Web sites, the bureau said." More at: http://www.wservernews.com/TVE0SB/071119-Trojans-Drive

    I just got back from K-Mart, saw a lot of neat things I was going to get, except they all had 'Made in China' on the bottom. I ended up getting Kodak film and kitty litter, both made in the U.S.A.

    Did I say "ALL" of the Marauder is made in China? Did I say "most" of the Marauder is made in China?

    I said "many" parts of the Marauder are made in China and if he would need to replace those parts then he would be supporting China all over again.

    Also, I bet that if I took a tour in his home and or office, he would be very sad by the large number of "Made in China" items there.

    Hey, I don't like it anymore then you do. I wish that we didn't kill all of our manufacturing and send honest paying jobs overseas.

    I "HATE" our trade deficit! However, we cannot blame anyone but ourselves for it since we DO NOTHING to our elected politicians who allowed it to happen."

    We shouldn't allow companies to simply pack up and move their operations to other counties. If they do, their items should be taxed to a point where it is no longer beneficial for them to do so.

    Maybe the above is not the best or only solution, but we need to do something in order to protect whatever industry we have left and encourage more before it is too late.

    Try and be consistent if you are going to hold a sign calling one stupid.

    You support China when it comes to your Marauder (and I bet 90% of your other items) but not when it comes to buying camera film?

    Indeed, makes you smart enough to hold up that sign.

    Edit: I bet the camera that you bought the "Made in the USA" film for was made in China. LOL

    still..
    Who lets you type? I mean really? This thread was started in THE LOUNGE, Marauder UNRELATED TOPICS. You just went off on two of us for some unknown reason and basically insulted Marauders. I checked my Marauder, it has 'Made in Canada' stickers on it, if it had 'Made in China' stickers, I wouldn't own one. I would invite you to search my house for Chinese stickers but I don't particularly like you, so that's not gonna happen. I would put you on my ignore list here but I'm afraid I'll miss something worth laughing at. Not in a funny way, but in a sad way. Keep up the good work.

    Please do add me to your ignore list.

    As for who lets me type? Your mother! Want to try and stop me?

    Also, just because this thread is in The Lounge does not mean that one cannot refer or mention Marauders.

    As for not finding any Made in China stickers on your Marauder, you must not have looked. Start taking things apart and see if you still stand by the statement that you wouldn't own it if it did.

    Second, I didn't go off on ANYONE. Just mentioned that you are a little inconsistent when you mentioned that "you only buy Made in the USA" products when I am SURE that most of your ***** is made in China including the cheap 35mm camera that you bought the "Made in the USA" film for.

    Anyway, I didn't insult anyone in ANYWAY until this post even though you called me stupid before.

    Now the gloves are off so go F___ yourself!

Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    Wow folks. To state something pretty obvious (at least to me), it's highly probable that almost ALL of the parts not made in the USA were made in CANADA. I mean, the MM was assembled in St. Thomas along side the CV. The sunroof parts, for example, were sourced up here. I'm guessing that some of the electronics (cd changer/crappy speakers/most bulbs etc) were of Asian manufacture, but I hesitate to say any major components were made overseas. The supplier contracts would be pretty specific, but I have no access to them.

    As far as the name calling in this thread....if you feel that implied profanity improves your argument, you might want to reconsider your position. Or at least your posting procedures.

    If you follow the thread, you will notice that I did not disrespect or name call anyone until post #10. I am of the belief that one should ALWAYS treat others with respect, especially if you disagree. With that said, I also do not play games. If someone attacks me, I attack with 10 times the force. There is no pushing match with me. Once someone decides to escalate a disagreement to a disrespectful level "the gloves come off".

    I was called stupid twice before I responded and just like in person, I will not get into a pushing match. It is either respect like gentlemen or full on brawling.

    What I find funny about the whole thing is that CBT and I agree on the whole "buying from China" matter. We are both passionate about buying American items and supporting the American manufacturing industry (read post #7).

    It is too bad that he miss understood the point/ meaning of my posts (that too many of our products are made overseas and that something should be done about it) and decided to begin insulting.

    Thanks. I'm interested, I haven't found any myself yet.

    Many of the parts are made in Canada, almost all of the wiring is made in Mexico. The Stereo is made in Japan as is the CD changer.
    Many of Fords other radios/stereo units are made in Brazil.
