The world already knows. ;)
On the other hand, I'm completely against any form of censorship or control of the Internet. It's truly "browser beware", so keep your hands off it and your damned kids off it. This is the "wild west" and there's plenty of gunslingers about.
Yep, and no kids here, or intent to have any, so no problems here.
I handle home computers for executives of companies I do work for. I tell them flat out why their home computers are crawling with every variety of scumware within hours of my cleaning them up. "Your kids have all their lives received everything for free. They have no suspicion of the word "free", so they grab any attactive thing that's 'free'".
Which is why I'm so careful online, and have not yet once gotten a virus that invaded my computer. Not because it wasn't ever attempted, but because I never opened, accepted or allowed it in. :) And no spyware or scumware has ever been detected on my newest computer either, because of the same precautions. I don't know what the old computer, Mikhail, had, it went bonkers in more ways than one, but I was just as cautious. It's like anything else, you have to use discretion and care when venturing out on the web, and believe me, I do.
I tell Katie to be careful, because she is new to the world online, for the most part. Her new computer, we named it Konrad, is more vulnerable than her older one which ran Win95. Fortunately for us, she isn't interested in using Outlook or most of the other exciting things that cause problems. She does use IE, but she uses extreme discretion with what she clicks on or opens (must know the user and expect the item). So hopefully as long as we help her keep it updated, she'll be more or less okay.
I can't police every computer user though, just myself. :)
