Most often than not computers and servers are intruded by spammers to install spam-sending bots. So, join spam reporting scheme on a regular basis, for example: http://blackhole.mx/ Only human smartness can counter human smartness.

Use at least 2 operating systems, at least 2 browsers, at least 2 office applications, etc. Because if there is one and only one monopoly software or hardware vendor, it is much easier for it to get corrupted. A realistic competition is the best measure against corruption.

You raised serious questions of the civilization's scale. As any serious problem the problem of security can be solved by a systematic work and communication, at least partially. It will always be a running battle between good and evil.

Wait a minute... My laptop WAS made in China.

Now that we know that information is intercepted and analyzed.

Remember how in "Good Wife" they discovered that the company network was being eavesdropped electronically by one partner?

In modern US more that 200 thousand women are sexually assaulted each year http://www.rainn.org/statistics . It is in the country where there is the real police, courts, laws, therapy, etc. About 100% of assaulters are men.

Besides, many cases are not reported for fear of exposure. It is yet without domestic violence, harassment, etc.

I mean it is not rare. A figure in millions does not seem unrealistic to me, especially in Middle Ages.

Criticize who? My point is that it should be the patriarchal social system which asserts itself via systematic violence against women. It is still here, globally; both in social relations and mentality.

Who can change it and does not? Who has education and resources for this?

9 million women were burned In Europe in Middle Ages for "witchcraft", i.e. for nothing.

Millions are women in Europe and the USA are still victims of violence and discrimination each year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_against_women

We are far away from congratulating ourselves.

Humans did not evolved from monkeys. Humans are just of of the many kinds of monkeys.

It is just a monkey that learned to put down thoughts on papyrus, clay tablets, papers, electronic display. etc.

This is it. It is the state of the science on this.

would could down the climate. We speak of billions pieces every day.

Have you ever seen traffic in New York? It is something surrealistic, rivers of steel on a geological or even astronomical scale. New York just uses too much energy. It heats up this area, like a giant frying pan, the hot air lifts up in a huge column in stratosphere. And that is where hurricanes are attracted.

I would also suggested compulsory telecommuting days. Then forbidding heavy wool suits, white shirts and ties. They took too much energy to dry-clean and air condition offices for these wool suits.

study your documents, which you eagerly uploaded to their server, will get intimate understanding of the model which your organization uses to do collect money for the nonprofit activity and then will start a new project on Friday, when they have 20% of work time for any new projects.

And your good old non-profit organization, which worked well for 20 years, will be out of action.

Noah's Ark was build by an amateur, RMS Titanic - by professionals.

It takes time. And it works like a pendulum.

Do not forget that there was not Renaissance in Russia. Mentality and culture of large swaths of population is still medieval at best.

Just 2 - 3 decades ago it was worse that North Korea. Now it begins to resemble remotely something habitable.

the Foreign Office, State Department, Kremlin, etc. are opened to researches, the whole history section, probably, would have to be re-written.

make a fence unnecessary.

It defines the social border, the socially accepted line.

Crossing this line involves a reaction from the society, which wants to defend its norms.

If I were an Australian General Prosecutor I would suggest 2 -3 years of imprisonment to these group of young researches so that the next time they would think twice before forging public transportation tickets.
