It's the second one like this in the last 5 days, and no sign of what the angle might be as yet.

I also wondered what this was about, but thought the person answered that. Though still cant be sure where it is going.

I am sorry for the inconvenience that this post has caused: It was just a group project for university about how to use new social media like blogs and forums to communicate with each other. No harm was intended. Sorry again!

Could it be another way to access forums then hack into uses computors?

I was listening to some hackers talking over a few brandy and cokes on the weekend, wasnt paying too much attention, but it sounds like it is a good idea that i cover my laptop camera when i am doing things on my desk which people who shouldnt be watching might see

To do that you'd have to do a lot more than just post text messages.

Disable the copy and paste function on pc's

My first thought was "understand the different forms of copyright notice", but I guess it's more complicated than that. What if you're taking the content off a site that has a very soft copyright notice, but the content was sourced from elsewhere in contravention of a more stringent copyright?

Maybe just stick to giving credit to your sources when it's not your own work?

Yes i understand. there was an article that said that before publishing one must take the author's consent which is quite hard online. Another question: Here it is quite risky to buy things online because people are really scared from hackers or people stealing their credit cards. what do u suggest as a method of protection?
