Safety for the Kids on the Web (Part 4)

People who go on blind-dates sometimes have to lie about certain details about them to get their dates to like them. Internet socializing is just the same, it’s even hard to prove because you can’t see the person, maybe just with a picture and that’s it. People in the internet can lie about their age and even the gender. Some people will just do about anything to get your attention and hook up with it. Internet socializing sites are one of the best things these days, but warn the kids with extreme caution; you are not separating them from the computer until their 30, just advising them what’s right or wrong.

They may not have experienced growing up with the internet and the dangers it may bring, but similar events may happen to their kids even if it’s on the internet. Online chatting is one, be afraid when topics get into sex or physical details.

Carrie in the Sex and the City movie looked silly when she was in need for a phone to call her fiancé, and one of her friends hand her their iPhone, she just returned it admitted that she doesn’t know how to use it. Another scene there was when she was hiring an assistant, she ended up hiring someone who has a degree in Computer Science, and added a comment that she couldn’t even text message. They say that some older people are technically challenged, and the youth are tinkering with programming codes easy as pie. But one thing kids today can’t dig up on a search engine, experience.

Why Internet Copyrights are Becoming a Thing of the Past

ccMainly because of the free-ranging quality of the web where hyou may get one source but risk missing several others making it an exercise in futility. Most measures to control content and software have been quite effective till the internet became so far reaching the policing efforts have simply become too costly. There have been major success stories with major piracy hubs being closed down for a couple of hours till they got the system back up again. The ability of these hackers to move from place to place is quite frustrating for law enforcement for they can lose these people in the blink of an eye. Even some for the best Information Technology security systems are having a hard time to cope with the ever growing threats that are on the internet.

Clicks to bad sites decreased this 2008


It’s a good thing that a lot of people are learning more and more on how not to click on possible malicious sites, but numbers show that there are still people who do:

The investigation, conducted by McAfee(R) SiteAdvisor(TM), studied the five major U.S. search engines (Google, Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, Ask) and found that the overall chance of clicking through to a risky site declined by 12.0%. Still, McAfee estimates that consumers click through to risky sites more than 268 million times each month.

“It’s good to see that clicking on search engine results has gotten modestly safer,” said Chris Dixon, director of strategy, McAfee SiteAdvisor. “But when almost one of 12 sponsored links still clicks through to a risky site, there remains significant room for continued improvement.”

Hopefully the number goes down even further next year due to additional internet knowledge and ensure that internet security goes higher.

Installing SataHardisk


Image source: www.egs-howto.com
The Intel 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M) driver seems to be the one you’re looking for.  You desire to put that on a CD or floppy and when you start installing xp the blue screen with white text appears on the far end “Press F6 if you need to install a SCSI or RAID driver….” press F6 and put in your disk with the sata driver. I found plenty of sites with the driver download by just googling “Intel 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M)”.

People with notebooks usually don’t have a USB Floppy to install SATA drivers from, so you will also have to use nLite to merge them with install CD, or search in BIOS Setup for an entry like “SATA Native mode” and set it to disabled – that will allocate legacy software to detect your HDD as a normal PATA drive.

You have to install the SATA driver earlier than turning the native support off.

MySpace in China

Launched in April 2007, the Chinese version of MySpace, has a lot of censorship-related disparities from the global editions of the service. Topics of discussion in forums such as religion and politics are not present and they have a system that strains that averts of posting sensitive topics like the independence of Taiwan, Falun gong and the Dalai Lama and several more “inapt issues” has been included. The users are now capable of reporting the “transgression” of offensive users involved in “jeopardizing national security”, spilling state secrets, sabotaging the government, discouragement national unity, and rumors going around distracting social order.
