To protect yourself truly, you must know the people who theoretically can sniff your sessions and have access to your files: call them the "audience".
Your audience are either script kiddies with tools who want your CC number, or professoinal mathematicians hired to break access codes to your military research.
For the former audience, use google to make sure no tools are lying around ready to ruin your shit. Inventing your own scheme is actually a good idea.
For the latter, hire professional assistance, don't use your own coded-over-the-weekend scheme, and don't mess with the Russians.
If you are in charge of an important network, you are always afraid.
There are many things that can keep you comfy, like daily updates and 24/7 monitoring of advisories, but the professionals do not always submit their findings. Security gurus submit holes as part of their work or to get their name known or to make a point..but many will stay in the dark. The really serious ones will always have their own unreported set of vulns in various platforms, 99% of the time these are buffer overflows at the kernel level(e.g your TCP/IP stack), leading to immediate root access to boxes/routers/firewalls.
a more recent study shows that now the internet has a positive effect on social and psychological well-being.
Of course. Jerking-off to porn then going to slashdot to talk about the effects of the internet feels really good, and will benefite you socially and psychologically. I mean, what are you talking about? Of course the internet makes you happier. Plus, pr0nstars can't dump you. And there's so many to choose from. If you did the real thing you would either have to get the girls drunk or engage in a serious relationship.
Besides, with the internet you get to interact with hundreds of people a day. You can see each other in videos, have prolonged academic dialogues, send each other links to other people... that is positively better than a club.
Finally, the internet has never been a "hinder" to social life. It has always been a catastophe. But that doesn't mean it hurts your well-being! Just remember cybersex and porn. Porn is your friend.
P.S: I don't use pornography for entertainment. I was kidding.
She was agressively social, was she. Bet she made you exchange photos and shit like that. Women...
On a sidenote, segregation is the ideal solution for these problems. Take a few gals, put them in a group, isolate them from the males as much as possible and this will eliminate any I-don't-want-to-talk-to-you-for-fear-of-harassment -charges kind of embarrasment. All communication will take place out of necessity and thus will be devoid of tension.
All the slashdotters telling us that you should just treat the chicks "neutrally" are clearly losers. You can't treat a girl "normally" because normal for them entails entirely different meanings, in most cases. Just be normal. Oh never mind.
Everybody wants to send data through my grey matter. It hurts, dammit. Wi-LAN is bad enough (have it at home) and I use it knowing that I am subjecting my cells to radiation they were not made to survive in.
Now they want me to send data at USB 2.0 speeds through the air, and my brain? I like my cables, thank you very much./*searches for old tinfoil hat

Canadians don't have this sort of imagination. You've just strolled into American territory, sir, home to Spielberg and O.J Simpson.

rmmod is a nasty way to do things. Please use modprobe -r.
