Every account I have in under a different handle, each piece of mobile equipment is under a different
persona http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ I don't do social sites only because I don't care for them.

I've nothing to hide, it's just what I do. I was security conscious long before Gore gave the public access to the Internet.

Forte Agent mail reader lets you have multiple personalities, POP3ing Email from your other accounts.
-I don't care for online e-mail.

Google will catch up with you if you have multiple Gmail accounts; asking if you would like to combine
them and use your real full name Mr. Micky Mouse . I see this as an IP match and where the weak link is.

It's what I do, but not a fanatic about it, I know there are key phrases, and statements I'm prone to use
no matter the account.

Just use a HOSTS file it blocks most of your tracking and spam online, it's your E-mail address that screws you (spam wise),
I use https://spamgourmet.com/ for disposable Email addresses, many filter that address and don't allow it.
-A HOSTS file block tracking ie if you don't touch their site they don't know about you or your surfing habits.

Root (jailbreak) your mobile equipment so you can use a HOSTS file cause your phone/tablet has conversations with the trackers.
Google Play Store put a halt to programs that stopped that conversation, so you have to find your blockers elsewhere.

And always read ToS's and Privacy Policies, while they may not be telling you the truth they do list sites you need to block
if you use their service (tracking). Also one's with a hardcore we collect everything policy I've no use for (Angy Birds (rovio.com)).

Doesn't say they cracked a PGP Key, they "acquired" them.

FTA:

To get a key, you give it to them, they take you to court, they install malware. or mechanical key logger.

A PGP message has been cracked by using Distributed computing (think Folding@home) and lots of time.

But just that one message you would have to do the same thing all over again to another message even if from the same person.

Security is a strong PGP key kept safe and away from your PC, using a spare computer running DOS PGP version 2.6.Xg.
PGP commercial versions of course are useless.

Never under estimate the power of the press and what "they" want you to know and/or believe.

http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/#completed give you the ablity to opt out of data collection but there's a catch,
you have to keep your cookies.

This site has changed since I last visited (years?), it used to have a large list of companies you could select to opt out from.
Now it just reads your cookies, 33 companies are listed that "honor" your opt-outs.

I use a rather large HOSTS file and delete my cookies when my browser closes, so this site does me little good.
my results: "These 0 member companies have enabled Online Behavioral Ads for this web browser."

Posted in case someone else can make use of it.

Do you smoke marijuana...

Interesting question and such a dilemma; one really doesn't know how to answer that question anymore.

Amazon is out of Washington state, one of two that have legalized marijuana when sold through the state itself (taxed).

I agree, being young has many advantages as opposed to being out of school and on your on for any length of time.

Many years ago my job required a Q clearance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_clearance (civilian equivalent of top secret with access to
nuclear material) as did everyone that worked there. While the plant had it's older operators it was a young group, many just out of high school
and their first job, managers still in their 20's.

I on the other hand had been around the block and had a history, it took me longer than most to get my clearance.

BTW: through the freedom of information act you can get what the FBI has on you, it's interesting to read what others had to say about you.

The book "The Hubble Wars" mentions all material one gets from using the Hubble can be held for a year before being released.
(So they can find the next big thing and not some computer geek using Photoshop, abbreviated term: /.'er)

This event is two/three years old, Guess different craft, different contracts for release.

Well for one it's become a 159,200 year commitment. No place to dispose of nuclear waste; the spent fuel has to be kept on location.

A developing story for the Fukushima nuclear plants are the weakening supports for the storage basins which holds their spent fuel.

In this area they are known as radiation whores.

To be "crapped up" is to have radiation of some sort on you (which you just wash off in a special area).
I'm sure it came from having $hit on you and it stuck.

Different areas, different terms.

I was following a different train of thought; trying to support it came across this:

"In the traditional approach, the dynamic programming based pair-wise alignment is used for measuring the similarity between two sequences.
This method does not work well in a large data set."

Paywall, the above is all there is. Text mining techniques were used in the research.

Damn was hoping to avoid that (having to look it up) :}

But your right, it could help others so I did find it.

And a belated thank you to SternisheFan, it seems to of worked.

0.0.0.0 is linux format, 127.0.0.1 is another format and the one I use; the top of the HOSTS file determines which is used
0.0.0.0. LocalHost
or
127.0.0.1 localHost

There's some who claim "127.0.0.1 on some machines this may run minutely faster" http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/

So 0.0.0.0 www.login.facebook.com would go to LocalHost or you -satisfying the request be it you or a link from a web page.

The HOSTS file is a routing file. you can also use for shortcuts like 74.125.235.33 findnow - typing findnow in the address bar would take you to Google.

A HOSTS file is simple tracking, malware protection that even speeds up page loadings by removing the non article stuff.

Yes, thanks for that. I do run APK once in a while to update my HOSTS file (sits at 4.377 MB now)
but this was at the Router level, blocked sites (I have a HotSpot available to whoever).

After the reply I went and added it to the HOSTS file itself and it's blocked. I just reinstalled Windows 7 this last week so still tweaking it.

Poor Sarah Rose and the rest that posted they will not allow that, they are posting under that ToS so of course they do.

I want nothing to do with facebook, I don't trust Mark Zuckerberg and want no part of him.

I made mention on /. that I disabled my account 4 years ago but it wasn't, I went through the motions but it claimed I could revive my account by logging in again. Someone replied to me how to really delete your facebook account. I logged in with my old info and there it was -my account I closed out ages ago; hopefully it's gone now.

I have blocked Facebook at the router level but still able to read that ToS, many lines in my HOSTS file deal with facebook yet I still get through. Recently I've hit facebook pages which shortly claim I need to log in to read, ain't going to happen; nut I figure it's too late my info has been posted, Not sure what I posted, I'd never give a real name, address or any real info, but I did post a picture.

I read the link from the summery http://www.gamefront.com/mechwarrior-online-forum-ragesplosion/ (how to write an article!) and links from that. One thing I noticed is everybody on the user side is back tracking, this thread http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/132638-3rd-person-an-update-and-apology-feedback-thread/ while locked after three pages is full of edits.

That's just stupid if this isn't entrapment he needs another lawyer. Like saying your horny, when someone shows you a dark alley and a girl then arrest you for rape. Given he was a time bomb, and just looking for a chance; but to fabricate one is a make believe crime.
Bottom line of link:
