POPSProtesting Clippers could face Prison or Fines. Well it's too late for me I reckon, so I might as well just keep on keepin' on peacefully protesting. Now more than ever, it seems so necessary. This is another "I dare you" clip. Are they trying to scare, intimidate or threaten people to the point, that they just don't dare comment or clip or pop or blog or speak out anymore? Should I just cave in and "turn myself in" quarterly and bow down to oppression? I think not. I will not be silenced. If I ever stop clipping about all this, you'll know why. See ya in Guantanamo! - The White House's own recently de-classified strategy for "winning the war on terror" targets Internet conspiracy theories as a recruiting ground for terrorists and threatens to "diminish" their influence. - Chertoff pledged to dispatch Homeland Security agents to local police departments in order to aid in the apprehension of domestic terrorists who use the Internet as a political tool.

POPSOur "Digital Shadow" -a Mind-Bending Prediction In terms of numbers, the figures are staggering. The size of the digital universe for 2007 reached 281 billion gigabytes, or, 281 exabytes. This works out to be about 45GB of digital information per person on the planet. And, considering the lack of information for some of the third world countries, one can only imagine how much those of us reading this article will have under their belts. Furthermore, the amount of information about us that is generated automatically on a pretty much daily basis outweighs the total volume of information that we create about ourselves. Naturally this has large security implications that the IT sector will have to address more and more as time passes.

POPSSecurity Services Want Your Personal Data, Clippers! The plan will need international cooperation since many of the new CSPs are based abroad, notably in the US. "International cooperation"... as in global? Nice. .:) They say the planned new legislation would apply only to communications data - such addresses and names - but not to the actual contents of the communications. Intercepting the contents would still need ministerial warrants. Warrants? For eavesdropping, spying, invasion of privacy and data collecting? AAAhahaha, good one! That is SO old school. .:lol: Clearly concerned about a public backlash against the plan, officials stress that the government is not building up a single central database containing personal information of everyone in the country. Sure. We believe you. Yessiree! We sure do. We even get to pay for it ourselves! Won't that be fun. .:D

POPSAn Algorithm with No Secrets A hash algorithm turns an ordinary message into a "digital fingerprint," which can then be used to keep the original message secret during transit or to guarantee that it hasn't been tampered with en route. But a hash function is only considered secure if there is no practical way to run it backward and find the original message from the fingerprint. Equally important, there should be no trivial way to produce two messages with exactly the same fingerprint. The weaknesses discovered by Wang and others relate to this problem--something cryptographers call "a collision." The latter issue is complicated by the fact that it is impossible to completely avoid collisions. So the best algorithm is one that simply makes collisions extremely hard to produce. "You shouldn't be able to find them," says William Burr, manager of the Security Technology Group for NIST. "The computation should be too great."

POPSWe’d All Be Better Off, If The Internet Was Never Invented Cyberspace is the last bastion of free speech and source for non-corporate news and information we have. It's also a thorn in the eye of those who would like to control everything we read and everything we say. All under the guise of "national security". How much do you wanna bet, that these current so-called "cyber attacks" are false flag operations? I'll eat my hat, if they ain't. we’d all be better off if the internet was never invented We? Who we? I know who'd be better off and it sure ain't the little people. :mad:

POPS6 Reasons Why Mozilla Firefox Is Safe Compared To Internet Explorer
While statistics put Internet Explorer clearly ahead as the most widely used web browser, it’s clear to many people that it is not due to the excellent programming. the practice of ‘bundling’ the infamous browser with the every copy of the operating system represents the primary reason behind its crushing dominance. ~~~ 4. Conscious users can install NoScript, an add-on that takes care of vulnerabilities that are not yet patched, either in Firefox or other plug-ins such as Java, JavaScript and Adobe’s Flash. It achieves this goal by allowing the user to selectively enable interactive objects that the user decides to trust, automatically blocking the rest. 5. Security through obscurity; malicious programmers will always target the browser with the largest user base, especially if that user base is less tech savvy. 6. Firefox uses a service provided by Google that notifies the user before entering a potentially malicious web site. These websites ask for your financial data und

POPSNew Firefox Web browser to be released Tuesday I had downloaded Firefox 3 and that's when I had problems with the Clipmarks orange box and clipping. When I went back to the older version it worked fine. Hopefully with the official release, it can be resolved. I can't wait to try it out. But like others, I have extensions that have become part of my internet life. :~)

POPSAbout 90 percent of all email is spam: Cisco
This year, botnets were used to inject an array of legitimate Websites with an IFrames malicious code that reroutes visitors to websites that download computer viruses into their machines, according to Cisco. "The botnet is, in many cases, ground-zero for online criminal threats," Peterson said. "Using malware to infect someone's computers is an incredibly common mechanism and harnessing them all together is a way they do their click fraud, spam emails, and data stealing." As computer security vendors such as Cisco get better at protecting machines from hackers and users grow wary of clicking on unsolicited Web links or email attachments, online criminals are turning botnets on Web-based email accounts. Hackers are "reputation hijacking" by using botnets to figure out weak passwords protecting Web-based email accounts, according to Peterson. Weak passwords consist of family names, birthdays, home addresses, or other terms considered relatively easy to deduce.

POPSBush: President For Life. Read it and Weap By elevating popular fancy over truth, Democracy is clearly an enemy of not just truth, but duty and justice, which makes it the worst form of government. President Bush must overcome not just the situation in Iraq, but democratic government. President Bush can fail in his duty to himself, his country, and his God, by becoming “ex-president” Bush or he can become “President-for-Life” Bush: the conqueror of Iraq, who brings sense to the Congress and sanity to the Supreme Court. Then who would be able to stop Bush from emulating Augustus Caesar and becoming ruler of the world? For only an America united under one ruler has the power to save humanity from the threat of a new Dark Age wrought by terrorists armed with nuclear weapons.

POPSPrivacy may be dead; what the Web knows about you A lot of the pressure that rises in this time is related to the privacy concept. The entanglement of human life and the Web is creating an interesting space in which human's identity is being decoded to bits of information, that become part of the virtual space which is the free flow of the web. As such the question of possession arises. Who owns my (a metaphor of course ;-) ) identity? or in different words, do my identity belong to me?

POPSObama Asks His Left-Wing Brownshirts to Report Any Counter-Revolutionary Behavior.....
A new level of insanity has been reached, Obama wants people who are bad-mouthing his legislation reported. Piecing Together the Dark Legacy of East Germany's Secret Police http://www.wired.com/politics/security/magazine/16-02/ff_stasi?currentPage=all Ulrike Poppe used to be one of the most surveilled women in East Germany. For 15 years, agents of the Stasi (short for Staatssicherheitsdienst, or State Security Service) followed her, bugged her phone and home, and harassed her unremittingly, right up until she and other dissidents helped bring down the Berlin Wall in 1989. One shelf, just to the left of her desk, is special. It holds a pair of 3-inch-thick black binders " copies of the most important documents in Poppe's secret police files. This is her Stasi shelf. Poppe learned to recognize many of the men assigned to tail her each day. They had crew cuts and never wore jeans or sneakers. Sometimes they took pictures of her on the sidewalk,
