At least the patriot act was to catch (or try to catch) terrorists...now Johnny, the 16 yr old metal kid who has a torrent is public enemy #1...this administration will undo this country...don't care about opposing opinions, it won't change my mind...

weird that you guys are just catching up on something that Bush enacted. I was in canada when I first read about this stuff.

LOL AT GOVERNMENTS TRYING TO STEM THE FLOW OF INFORMATION

well not all of us can be as cool as you rev

That's why you install a big red button on your desktop that wipes your horse/toddler porn folder.

I keep broken 3yo vaginas in a pic-a-nic basket.

Steve, do you ever dress up as the big bad wolf in drag and laze about crowded parks on sunny Sunday afternoons?

That's the Sabbath, you heathen scum.

hehehe

If keeping the Sabbath holy is wrong, I don't want to be right.

wait... how does the government intend to dick around with the files on your computer without you knowing? Do they have a magic wand?

Software. Software that they can easily get onto your computer without you even knowing. Just like spyware. Except government sanctioned spyware.

combofix that ish and fuck .gov

I think I'll just opt to not install it.

the major anti-virus companies work with the US not to detect government things as a threat.

would you like to install the obama toolbar?

BONZI BUDDY IS SKYNET

Don't kill the conspiracy theory with logic, Mike.

lol you usually don't chose to install spyware.

and pam, this isn't a conspiracy, its fact that the governments of the world are uniting to put forth the ACTA.

THERE'S A T1000 READING MY EROTIC HARRY POTTER FANFIC AS WE SPEAK

holy fucking lol

The ACTA would only be enforced in the event you pass border security or a stiuation like it, they have the authority to "randomly" search your laptop the same as they "randomly" search brown people at the airport.

As an IT professional, I can say that "government spyware" is only something to potentially worry about (assuming the govt would take this absurd route to search your computer, which is a terrible, traceable way to do it) if you willfuly click on bogus links and download fake files on the internet. You are in total control of what your computer does and what information it broadcasts. There is no "government backdoor" to get to your data. Anybody that tells you otherwise is a conspiracy theorist and an ignorant computer user.

Stay away from all major antivirus software (Norton). I haven't run antivirus software in 7 years. Just know how to go around the internet and how to spot fake files.

I do. It's called not clicking on popup ads for the chance to win a free refridgerator or downloading and running cool screen savers my friend from Michigan I didn't know I had sent me.

i admire your will power msd

Yup. Well said. And as for the search at the checkpoint deal... if they take your computer by force, they can potentially look through the contents of your drive with not too much of a hassle. The only thing you can do if something like that happens is use encryption. I have whole-disk encryption software on my laptop.

And before anybody says "BUT IT'S THE GOVERNMENT MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!!!! THEY CAN CRACK IT". Well maybe they can and maybe they can't... but they'd have to mail my drive off to some nerd in an office somewhere. But why would they do that if you're Joe Schmoe passing through the border checkpoint for your Mexico vacation? They're not going to go spend the time and money just to find your Metallica mp3s. And some rentacop with his portable xray machine and $5 sungalsses at border patrol isn't going to have the tools and knowhow available to crack that stuff. They'd have to be after you and have some sort of clue that the time they spend cracking your drive is going to pay off in the end with some huge conviction or something.

DOOD, CHECK OUT THIS BROOTAL COMET CURSOR ON MY BANDS MYSPACE

Holy shit, there's a Cool Runnings screen savers?!?!?!

*downloads 400 trojans*
*enjoys my lavish life*

well no shit lol

only retards click random links/downloads on the internet.

Exactly, and to crack an encrypted harddrive using currently FREELY available encryption techniques will still take the most powerful supercomputer years to crack.

If anyone's civil liberties feel threatened by this, and they think it's some scheme to introduce the Amero or one world currency, then I hate you and we're not friends.

Ditto. Let's hug!

i felt my liberties to steal off the internet threatened. but i still like you.

and i don't think there will ever be a united one-world currency.

CHANGE YO PASSWORD U TRICKAZZ GUZZLAH

My CISSP boss finished his masters a while ago. He was taking some crazy security classes. And one of the dudes teaching was head of IS for some police county. In the past he USED to do something else. I know it involved putting Mohammad in an interrogation room while the boys with the pocket protectors cracked open his laptop to find out where he's hiding C4. If there was encryption, he said it was all about taking the easiest route. More often than not it was beating them until they gave the info rather than cracking encryption, which is either extremely hard/expensive/time consuming, or just plain impossible (assuming they're using something good).

in other news i just speed-tested internap its its ridonkulous.

wasn't directed toward anybody.

our metallica mp3s are safe!

yay

YOU LOSE AGAIN LARS!

i just hate how it's fashionable for people to say we're heading toward a one-world government/currency. global genocide would have to happen first.

you'll take these metallica mp3s out of my cold, dead hands!

attaboy!

man are you behind the times. haven't you ever seen that show that accurately portrays all future events for the next 1000 years?

So what you're saying is that I shouldn't store all my shemale porn in my shared documents folder in my network places?

haha..actually that's ok, i think shemales are legal.
