I would like to say that they really dont look at individuals files one at a time - they put it all in a database and run searches for choice information. As such, 99% of you still have your privacy, assuming you dont do anything wrong with your computer, or else you may come up in a search. Also, if somebody hijacks your computer for malicious purposes the police dont just walk up to you and toss... read more.
The european commision seems to made a plan to log all internet activity by inhabtants of the european union, this means if you live in europe you would have zero privacy about what you are doing on the internet!!! The governement will know everything about: - Information stored on providers and web sites - Games you play - Websites you visit And much more!
Luckily for us, a petition has started to STOP these plans from happening! Sign it at: http://www.dataretentionisnosolution.com/ (More information about "Data Retention" there too) Lower Right Hand corner on your screen!
Hi Florisjuh, Couldn't agree with you more. Keep the gov't(s) out of our private lives !!! The US gov't is (has) aready moved in this direction with programs like Carnivore" etc. for "monitoring" (ie. snooping) on the citizens. The latest step taken was on July 05, 2005 when they decided to NOT to go thru with the planned relinquishing of control of the DNS core computer internet servers (ie. the ICAN servers). Control who get "permission" to have a website (or have it shut down) and you can censor what's said on the web. You can read all about it at www.tamingthebeast.com (an article) or do a search on wikipedia for "ICAN". Heads up people !!!
Oh my God, well, I've certaintly signed the petition!
I am a very private person and I do not want the government sneeking around my business, it would be so pathetic.
Yes, it could possibly help stop all these phedofiles and the child pornography, but most people don't do that kinda stuff, they use their computer for entertainment and other stuff.
This is not a cure for terrorism! Even if they monitor ALL of my activities on the internet, they will not accomplish anything, but will invade my privacy!
Probably every terrorist is not THAT stupid to send plain text e-mails!(their e-mails are probably well encrypted, hidden inside attachments or written in some sort of a "code language") Or to communicate in any other insecure way!
Getting the source of recent DoS attacks, viruses etc.? No way! Most DoS attacks are caused by malicious programs that are on another person's computer! (and that person doesn't know if it's even there) Viruses spread from an unknown source through innocent people’s computers unnoticed! Solution? Give the man a heart attack by bashing his front door open and point a gun at his face until he "surrenders peacefully" because “he broke the law”?
So, what are they trying to prove? That I ordered a pizza through the internet? That I am using windows update? That I'm currently downloading a Linux distribution?
So what?
"Ehm... Excuse me sir, but you recently checked your e-mail through GMail. GMail is a free to use e-mail service, you wouldn't happen to be a terrorist now, would you?"
"Sir, this is your 2nd order of pizza this week! You should know better than to eat junk food! May I recommend snacking on a carrot next time when you get 'the munchies'?"
What's next!? Well, I don't want to find out! I signed the petition as well! I sure hope that many people do the same!
Indeed. I agree that the governments should not be invading privacy, let alone, every moment on the internet, there are computers trying to connect to your computer. What for? To maybe place or retrieve cookies in your computer? To see what websites you been to? What files and programs you have on your computer?
I wouldn't want the government to know what websites I been to because it isn't really their business. They don't need to know that.
I signed the petition, but I fear it may not make much of a difference, but anyway thats not the point, the point is that this is clearly a breach of human rights and privacy, and no matter who it is proposing this it is still not the answer, I personally don't think it would even help to catch anyone doing anything, I mean 450 million people is a hell of a lot of people. But apart from that it is just not right so I signed the patition against it, and I hope it goes welland they see that they cant monitor (spy) on people. But hey at least they told us first.
Now, I know of one thing about petitions. They rarely work. I mean, I know of someone who started a petition to remove some dude's website. Now this website contained, well, his own opinions on certain topics, his own free speech. I guess people didn't like what he had to say and well, started a petiton and got thousands of signatures on it.
Even the dude they were protesting signed it. Is his website still up? Yes. Does the petiton still exist? Yes. Did anything ever change or happen to his website? Nope.
I myself could even start a petiton... say, to remove george bush from office. Would I get thousands of signatures? You bet. Would george bush ever get removed? Nope.
I shall sign this petition but I am unsure if it may do anything... ... but we sure can try!
I have one thing to say and that is keep your paws away from my stuff. I live in the United States so this shouldn't be a problem yet but I do not want this to happen to anyone.
I would like to say that they really dont look at individuals files one at a time - they put it all in a database and run searches for choice information. As such, 99% of you still have your privacy, assuming you dont do anything wrong with your computer, or else you may come up in a search. Also, if somebody hijacks your computer for malicious purposes the police dont just walk up to you and toss you in jail, but search your computer in much the same way to find out who did it (if it wasnt you then you are safe). Any bits of irrelevant data they find is not logged, talked about, or remembered - you are one of millions. Any relevant data is filed with the case to be viewed again as necessary during the case and only to be opened ever again if there is a purpose (make sense?) and the case needs more work. Oh, and btw I would like to add that some governments (US included) already are monitoring the general public using many methods, most people just dont realize that they are trying to cover their bases so it doesnt become a large scale issue. You can be monitored by software on your computer (spyware, spybots, and many other forms of malware), hardware (more rare to what Ive seen but it can and has been done), keyloggers and the like (software and hardware exist), external devices and storage media (pop in a cd and they could know which one - look it up), your cable/phone line, your isp (and yes they do give that information, and get $$$ for doing so), other clients, servers, online tracking spiders, email, search engines, general public hubs, proxies (they arent invincible), intercepters, and even satellites. The list could go on but im tired! Im just trying to say you are making way too big of a deal out of this, they arent trying to find out how many pizzas you order a week, or if you like to go to www.yummyfudge.com a lot. Its not just for terrorism but also for financial reasons, like the millions companies lose yearly on piracy.
In Australia we dont have this sort of thing going on just yet and thank god.
What we do in our own homes is our business. I can understand the desire for government authorities to want to monitor activities of people on the internet but if they are simply using it as a method of catching out criminals then for the sake of 99% of computer users it is inappropriate.
that's the nature of men kind. =P ... luckly i live in the US... and i believe invading others privicy is against the constitution.. .But then on the other side, it might do some goods. Like less people will go online meaning more people will actully get a life =P. .AHAHAH just kidding. But then that would lead to the destruction of online ads companies. And then we wouldn't be able to get free hosting from TRAP17 and we will all be doomed..... Yeah.. i might have over exagerated a little.
The US has the PATRIOT ACT. Probably the most vile attack on civil liberties known to man.
the government is the organization that we should not trust our private life with.... in fact the turmoil of the world is the product of a government system whos interest is not for its people but for the poeple who are in the position.....

I would really appreciate any ideas/sugestions for my current computer problem. I am on dial up,
it has always been very slow, but for the past few weeks I have first off, had a TERRIBLE time
getting a connection, and then when I finally do get one, I frequently get kicked off in a few
minutes. It is makeing me crazy, I can't even keep up with my emails, and make my posts here,
let alone work on my poor neglected web site. So far we have tried.... 2 times the phone company
has been out to check the outside lines. They swear it is not their problem. We rep....
i dont really know what the problem is, but like every 3 minutes my internet connects stops, then
goes back up after like 3 secs. i am not sure if a cable might be faulty, my modem or one of my
routers is bad. here is the stuff i use dsl provider-->modem-->dynex router-->2
computers and another router-->my wireless router-->my computer and laptop i am not sure
what the problem is, seeing as just yesterday it was fine. but before that sometimes it would go
out, but not as often, just like 1-2 times a week and i would have to restart my router. but no....
Although not big news in the sense that it would eventually happen in the near future but big news
in the sense that it is possible to get that kind of speed. T0 start some of hte previous records
were 6.96 gbps and 8.88, but In just 2 days a team at the university of Tokyo set the record with a
blazing 9.08 gbps (giga bytes per second) just a day after hitting a 7.67 gbps. This is the trip
that this 9.08 gbps did QUOTE The first record-breaking transmission took place on December 30.
The 20,000-mile roundtrip path, using standard TCP, began and ended in the NTT bu....

it out with some success...I think. Ok this all stared when I would leave my computer to run over
night the internet connection was good, the internet browsers, IM, and my online game that I would
leave running would all be working and connected to the internet. When I wake up in the morning
however, I would find my Game still running and my IM running they would still be connected,
however when I tried to use my internet browser it wouldn't connect to the internet. ....

Well, I have heard that the default internet speed can be different in different places, for
instance in Japan, you can easily get 50+ mbps, but I only have 1500/300 kbps ADSL line... So, I
wonder what other people here are using?....
Approximately every half an hour anyone connected to me is disconnected. There is no trouble
establishing the connection and it runs smoothly till sudden disconnection. There is no problem with
someone connecting through the local are network. I believe it is something with my router, but I
can't find anything. I use a DI-604 Ethernet Broadband Router, my computer has McAfee security
center and I also have windows XP home edition firewall on. I've tried turning off both McAfee
and windows firewall, along with using DMW which supposibly opens all ports in my route....

I have a brand new computer running Windows XP 512 MB RAM, Compaq Presario 1.4Ghz Celeron. I am
connected to the internet with Comcast in Fremont. Web sites pages are slow to open up. The
performance problem occurs on many different sites, so I suspect the problem is on my end -- either
the computer or my internet connection. It often takes several seconds to open up a link. What
can I do to fix this? I am not one to be picky about speed, but net browsing is so slow that I
don't feel like using the computer any more. I've heard some people say that ....

Well this only seems to happen when I am answering Livejournal replies via my email but this is what
goes on. I reply and it posts the reply but in a seperate IE window. All of a sudden tons and tons

else know why this happens?....
I just built my own computer... It works fine, but there's a problem with the internet
