I thought I posted a reply, but it isn’t showing. If this is a repeat, sorry.
So is incompetence or carelessness in IT security now a crime in your eyes?
How is it you extrapolated this from my posts? When making a comment that gets this serious, can you at least reference a sentence, or part of a sentence that you are referring to?”
I would have referenced the sentence, but my phone has no cut and past ability. It also tends to make me sound ghetto because of the auto correct.
The ‘crime in your eyes?” comment was because your entire post 43 suggested you felt that way. Apologies if I was wrong.
Um,I’ve looked over my posts and I didn’t say anything about another person’s computer. I think you got that from someone else. I don’t personally buy into the “A virus did it,” or, “My computer was hacked.” While technically possible, viruses are more designed for stealing data or taking you to a sales site. I’ve never seen a virus take me to a kiddy porn site.
I guess your assuming this is my first tricycle trip around the block?”
You sounded like you didn’t believe people can reach bad sites by accident.
You repeat yourself....but, I digress.
Again, you’re responding to someone else. This isn’t my post and I don’t buy the hacker or virus argument.
Can a person clear their cache? If so, are there not shredder software that will make useless all deleted files?
Most people don’t even know what cache is, and even IT pros don’t exactly go around emptying it all the time. As for shredders, I don’t personally have anything I’m trying to protect that needs shredded, and shredders look guilty as hell to authorities.
If you can and choose to do without the net, that’s your choice. Most of us in the modern world don’t get a choice. The internet is a part of daily life, whether we want it or not. You can’t even job hunt effectively without the internet anymore.
Nor is internet security really the issue. I have fairly good security. I don’t think I’ve ever actually been sent to a child porn site, and I’m fairly careless on the internet. Siteadvisor by McAfee is great. But most people end up in bad sites simply from doing web searches.
As for finding myself somewhere that is odious.....in the almost 30 years on the internet, I may have stumbled into them only a couple of times.
Then again, you have to understand, I can bore people to death with what I consider “reading material”.
It's usually technical or educational.
People I meet might ask me what I like to read....they get bored just hearing about it.
Geology, physics, general science.....etc., of which, I have minors in all disciplines.
When there is no doubt to a pedophiles crime of a real life sexual nature, I'm more harsh than you.....incarceration is not good enough.
