Just How Paranoid Are You?

An anonymous reader writes "We all understand the need for security in a corporate environment. Personal computers, however, typically don't have nearly the amount of sensitive information (or it's at least less damaging if found). How far do you go to protect your computer? I recently went overboard on securing my information (at least as secure as Windows XP can be). I have a hardware firewall (GTA GB500), 30 character password, and all remotely personal information stored on a 256bit AES encrypted volume. How far do you go to protect your information against 'Big Brother' or even your family/friends?"

    You give your computer a "reach around"? Now that is what I call thoughtful and considerate. What a swell guy! Your mother sure taught you good manners.

    There is no additional security in pretending to be secure, cause anyone who wants to can just check if he's lying or not.

    You need to take a course in logic. You're talking about A => B, where I am arguing about the claim that !A => !B. These are logically distinct claims. Your arguments are irrelevant to the discussion, because we aren't even discussing the same thing.
