| 1345165 | 2013-06-09 23:06:00 | I'd have suggested using webmail or something or installing a different E-mail client, but it looks like the problem is already solved. Yeah good luck with that Fred, even if he knew the answer he wouldn't be allowed to tell us. Here's a thought, treat everything you send or put on the "internet" as if someone official might see it and understand nobody really cares what's on your computer or e-mail. I'm not paranoid, I don't have anything more than mildly embarrassing to hide and don't think somebody somewhere is filtering through all my stuff trying to find something on me. Only those with something to hide need to worry, having details about you recorded amongst millions of others is near enough to anonymous in most circumstances anyway. Still if it's the principal of the thing you object to fair enough, I just can't get worked up about it myself. Yep, sorry for dragging the thread OT, this should be in the other thread, but nmercer is here in this one... even if he knew the answer he wouldn't be allowed to tell us.The US gag laws on data collection don't (yet) apply here. I too am fairly sure I have nothing to hide personally (from law enforcement anyway, currently) but I also deal with other peoples data and commercially sensitive information. If a software supplier cannot provide an assurance as to the security of that information (with respect to the NZ laws that I am subject to and that my customers expect me to be in compliance with) then said software is not suitable for use in any such business in this country. I think most people do have a "so what" attitude to these issues, but my opinion is that our lives and livelihoods are becoming more and more 'online' and the current information "land-grab" is, right now, determining the future landscape of the society we will be living in, and has some concerning implications for the sovereignty of our country and the ability to live under laws that we have an opportunity to change via our own democratic process. Of course, I could be completely off track, they're all good guys really, and the only reason for all this spying is to keep us safe from those evil tourists... (although given the numbers of deaths involved I would have thought domestic gun control might be further up the list for the US than international terrorism - just sayin') |
