Email Account Encoding

[HarmanKardon]

I had to encode my "Windows Live Mail" account today due to the evil evil EVIL NSA! Telekom demanded this but I think this is too naive. The NSA is almighty (any other opinions on that?) and I think they will always get anything what they want.

Google encodes it's web search - I cannot believe that such things are effective and put more than a smile on the face of the NSA.

I am more concerned with sites like googl, facebook, et. al. keeping data on me than I am with NSA.

I'm losing more and more the track what's going on in this mad world.

I have never configured any MS email in any of the computers I have ever owned. I still only access facebook with one computer that nothing that matters is on it. Is is a real pain that way and so I do not use facebook much but I sure am glad I do it that way.

As long as the good guys, bad guys and the mercenaries are all hacking each other, it will all even out at the end, I think (?). I no longer worry about these things as it's beyond anyone's control.

I've never done Facebook or LinkedIn or Twitter. Learned at a young age that nothing good comes from sharing personal information.
I got away with anonymity for a few years, but eventually the kids post your picture and tag it.

This is a remarkably relaxed attitude, I will try to make it my own. Thanks.

I have a neat program that wipes out stuff the try and leave on our PCs and with the tools in IE I delete cookies, history, etc.

Me, either.

Of course, watch the strict Constitutionalists' head spin when they realize what an actual STRICT reading implies...

You're correct, there is ZERO direct detailing of a right to privacy.

The part that amuses me is the sheer hypocrisy of Zuckerman at facebook complaining when facebook collects more info on its users than NSA ever imagined.
