How do You Protect Your Online Privacy? 129

P asks: "In the light of the recent discussions about on-line privacy: What can one do to protect his/her on-line privacy, while still having a enjoyable web experience? For example, are you using PGP for all your emails and Zfone for all your VOIP traffic? Or are there better ways of protecting oneself? Share your tips and tricks."

"Apple reserves the service manuals to authorized service providers. To be authorized, they have to demonstrate their competence. If Apple doesn't act against anyone publishing their confidential service manuals in whole or in part without authorization, then they lose control of the service of Macs, which results in slipshod work performed by unqualified technicians." How many times do you ask the repair guy "Can I see your manual to verify that it's a valid copy?" If there's gonna be slipshod work, there's gonna be slipshod work regardless of who sees the manual. There are a million and ten "Fix your computer" businesses in NYC, for example. What's more appealing-having a college kid fix your Mac for 20 bucks an hour at your home, or schlepping the monster-Macs down to the Apple store/Tekserve? If you've got a laptop, I guess the answer's obvious- schlep away. But an iMac or a G5? Forget it. You practically have to hire movers.

Journal Journal: Debian

Using debian right now, I'm definately liking it better than redhat. It works pretty well as a workstation, apt-get rocks, the setup wasn't that bad, and its truely free (no more up2date hassles!) Everyone should try it...

Sometimes it's fun to attempt posting a journal entry. I think this one will add to the long list of "the only journal entry ever made for this journal" types that seem to litter slashdot.

w00T!

May it live in infamy.
