Safe and Insecure?
JoeCotellese writes "Can making your network insecure actually improve your security? That's the question asked in this story running in Salon. The author makes the case that by 'making my Internet connection available to any and all who happen upon it, I have no way to be certain what kinds of songs, movies and pictures will be downloaded by other people using my IP address. And more important, my ISP has no way to be certain if it's me.'"
People replying to my sig annoy me. That's why I change it all the time.
OH YES! I DO TOO COCKSUCKER!

How are you "morally repelled" by their ad policy? Seriously.
It's their content. They paid for it. They pay for the servers. I don't see why they don't have every right to decide how to distribute it, whether it is banner ads, forced view ads, or paid subscription. They aren't compelled to provide free content any more than anyone else is.
If you don't want to view their ads, that's fine. Maybe their business model is stupid and doomed to fail. Maybe no one is willing to spend the time to view their ads for free content. That's the free market.
But to suggest that there is something "morally" wrong? That's just absurd.
ANNOY THE pickles in your sig? Look at me you little fig!
