Is The Internet Over Regulated
Are you being taken for a ride, are you lead to believe that
Governments are creating new legislation for your benefit or are there underlying factors that these laws are more beneficial to Governments and big business? The Patriot Act, (great choice of name) was created to give authorities more powers in times of terrorism but goes way further than that! I believe this act is necessary in this day and age when it comes to threats to National Security but, where does this leave your privacy? As consumers, citizens and business owners we all have rights,
its just a pity that there are a small number of fanatics and idiots out there that spoil it for the rest of us.

Its Time to Sing the Encryption Song - Again!
Yes, I'm wearing my encryption hat again. Why you may ask? Well I just finished reading about the newest security hole in Microsoft's latest server product. Then couple that with all the recent hacker activity, new reports from the GAO (that's the Government Accounting Office) that the government can't protect it's own computers and data much less the data WE send them, reports that computer theft is on the rise and news that the FBI is now developing a new computer "worm" (read virus) to spy on citizens, I decided to sing the encryption song again. This time I'll sing a verse about personal data encryption.

At the same time the number of Internet surfers increased. This is a good thing because people are realizing the advantages offered by the world of technology. As soon as they discover this, they start using computers and the Internet more and more, but at the same time not considering the threats that are coming in from all sides. They should know that if you don't protect yourself, nobody will. These threats are now coming from everywhere and they are growing in number and complexity. First threats of this kind were the viruses. At first, viruses were not that harmful. They were designed to perform a simple task, like flashing a single message onto the user's computer screen. Also the spread rate was slow, because not many people were connected to the Internet. But now the majority of viruses are programs intentionally written to obstruct with, or harm other programs or computer systems. And they are spreading very fast.
