Internet & Privacy?

The internet was orginally designed for and by the American military so its no surprise that governments have kept an eye on it. Theirs ways to make it more difficult for outsiders to spy on you using proxy servers, not accepting cookies, installing firewalls etc. However there will always be a trade off between usability and security. It all depends on how paranoid you are. If the government want to spy on you, let them. So long as your not planning any terrorist act then I doubt they will bother you!

well unless you are running software like Firefox and making sure the tracking cookies are wiped or not allowed, and allowing only trusted sites, keeping personal info starts with you the end user and not government, if it's one thing people must learn is NEVER to rely on the government ( look at those right now in New Orleans.. ), so you are own your own, and it's up to you to defend yourself against corporations.

and if you have a wireless router follow these tips,

1. Use WPA encryption (WPA-PSK) it's less crackable then WEP.

2. Make a passphrase that is upper & lower case and has some numbers thrown in there as well, again harder to crack.

some like mAkE1t5eCurE0rel53 and as long as possible.

3. Use MAC access control so only you or authorized PC's can connect (even if you do have encryption turned on)

4. Turn off DHCP use static addresses.

5. Turn off SSID (and change it) unless your card really needs it (some do)

6. Change username/password of access unit front end

7. Ensure you have the usual firewall enabled on your PC.

8. Paranoia rules, turn WLAN off if your not using it :)

I completely accept as true with you. young toddlers having intercourse is outrageous, yet our society makes it look ok. in simple terms look on the television. Jamie Lynn Spears in simple terms had a toddler, there's a instruct on now, the secret existence of an American teen, the %. of 17 women who have been given pregnant. that's the "element" now. once I graduated from HS and the few years previously me, you perhaps had a million, probably 2, who have been pregnant. and that they've been in lots of circumstances the (no longer meaning any offense, yet) "decrease" classification human beings. My brother graduated 4 years once I did and there have been 7 women out of a classification of 34 who have been mothers!!! this is ridiculous!!! I easily have 15 and 14 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous sister. The 15 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous has began donning a G-string!!!!! This terrifies me. i'm 21, became into married at 18. My husband is the only guy i've got ever had intercourse with!!! via 18 maximum women have had intercourse greater circumstances with 10 adult adult males than i'm going to have intercourse in my lifetime!!!! And what do you do approximately it? you may boost a toddler "ideal" yet interior the top this is their very final selection. i think of i'm going to shop my little woman locked up till she's 30!!!
