			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-339" title="password" src="http://www.milekick.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/password.jpg" alt="password" width="168" height="38" /><span class="drop">W</span>hat follows is an excerpt from a <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3639679.stm">BBC&#8217;s report</a> which was recently mentioned on <a href="http://securitymusings.com/article/255/password-vs-chocolate-chocolate-wins">SecurityMusings.com</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>More than 70% of people would reveal their computer password in exchange for a bar of chocolate, a survey has found.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is completely unbelievable! Most of the time, passwords are the only thing protecting us from identity theft. There is a reason there are <a href="http://www.google.com/search?&amp;q=choosing+secure+passwords">so many articles</a> on the internet that deal with strong passwords. You should do your best to have one, and then you should do your best to keep it to yourself.</p>
<p>You should <span style="font-size:130%;">N E V E R</span> share your passwords with other people. If you do, con-artists could steal your identity.</p>
<blockquote><p>[And results of an identity theft] can be far-reaching, difficult to rectify, and financially devastating.</p>
<p>Armed with your credit card information, fraudsters could charge thousands of dollars to your account before you ever see a statement from your credit card company. They can open new credit card accounts in your name.</p>
<p>Using your identity, they can open a bank account and write bad checks on that account. They can authorize electronic transfers in your name, draining your bank account. To avoid legal action against debts they&#8217;ve incurred using your identity, they might even file for bankruptcy under your name.</p>
<p>They can take out a loan, buy a car, and get a driver&#8217;s license — all in your name. They may use your name to get a job or file fraudulent tax returns. And if they&#8217;re arrested, they may give your name to the police and fail to show up for their court date. Then, a warrant for an arrest is issued — in your name. (<a href="http://security.yahoo.com/article.html?aid=2006102606">Yahoo! Security Center</a>)</p></blockquote>

<p>The article raises several interesting questions and a privacy issue. Even though the need for privacy is a part of human nature, sometimes people want to share parts of their private lives, but only with some people. For example party pictures: a lot of people would share them with friends, but only a few with employers or parents. By forcing their kids to be their ‘friends’, parents might be forcing their kids to reveal those pictures, and that’s a clear violation of privacy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop">I</span> just stumbled upon a <a href="http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/mladen_tosic/2008/02/yesterday_serbia_came_out_to.html">post</a> that was written by <a href="http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/mladen_tosic/profile.html">Mr. Mladen Tosic</a>, a final year doctoral candidate at the Centre of International Studies at the University of Cambridge. I was surprised by his views of the &#8220;Kosovo is Serbia&#8221; protests. This is an excerpt of that post:</p>
<blockquote><p>The huge gathering was a &#8220;people&#8217;s parliament&#8221;, said Branko Kovacevic, chancellor of the university of Belgrade, when he addressed the enormous crowd of Serbs who came out in a peaceful <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23275792">protest</a> yesterday. Yet today, the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/feb/22/serbia.kosovo">reports</a> are all of the thugs who took advantage of a thinly spread police presence to create mayhem.</p>
<p>But this should not tar the event. To all of us who value free expression, liberty, responsible citizenship, democracy and freedom, it was a truly inspirational day and proof, if ever it was needed, that Serbia deserves to be treated as an equal in the European family.</p></blockquote>
<p>With respect to Mr. Tosic, I don&#8217;t understand how &#8220;mayhem&#8221; and &#8220;responsible citizenship&#8221;  can go together. I admit that torching an embassy can be regarded as &#8220;free expression&#8221;, but I fail to realize how can such a display of violence serve as a proof &#8220;that Serbia deserves to be treated as an equal in the European family.&#8221; Pardon my possible ignorance, but I don&#8217;t remember reading about torched embassies in EU countries.</p>
