This looks to be the same as https://www.grc.com/offthegrid.htm (pointed to by normal access). I am not sure how this works, when say in the example one's example.com password has been breached and example.com is forci

Whenever I see articles like this, I have to question our drug policy. People have been getting high since before we were human (non-human primates get intoxicated). We can't stop people from getting high as we discovered with prohib

That would make for a good topic. Also, it is difficult to maintain older cars going when parts become harder to get. So, even if one does not want to buy a new car; at some point one might be forced to getting a newer car. I very much a

I would have thought that EFF and FSF would be more active in trying to promote open source in automobiles for privacy, security and being able to repair and modify the vehicle. I would think that it would be rather mind blowing how much i

How do the data brokers know whether one shops at dollar stores? Who is leaking our inforamtion to the brokers? Is the store or the credit card company releasing information to a third party? Store gets the customer name from the credit

That is pretty screwed up. So, you have a merchant that is stalking one and they get updated information. I think I will stick with with the new next gen taxi service where one pays with cash.

I have done this. Yes, they initial did keep the subscription going. However, I told the credit card company that I did not authorized any further; they reversed everthing out. I really wonder whether they give the company the new inform

When you lose your credit card and you call your credit card company and them them that you lost it, they issue you a new card with new numbers; this way anybody that had the information on the card would not be able to make further transac

Thanks for pointing that out. The link for destroying a sample does not work. The page: http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/nbs/Pages/Default.aspx has the following code for the link: <a href=" http:&#x

I read the article. My only question was where Matt on the nextbsd page and Kip are the same person. I guess I could have searched first. Anyway this article seems to help indicate Kip and Matt of the nextbsd article are probably the sam

The page referenced, refers to Matt Macy and not Kip. If it is the same person, then I disagree. One can't tell whether he would undermine any project he is on because he does not care about other people. That landlord episode was n

Every OS gets software updates to patch various security issues every few weeks or month or so. There is absolutely no reason why the NSA or FBI can't have a warrant saying that the person that they want to tap gets government spy war
