Hi Guys, I need an answer to a regular payment question. I require a secure & secret method of receiving payment (items or service desription withheld). One chap suggested :scratchin I would do that execpt that here is Tassie you cannot rent a PO Box without proving who you are ! - bugger !. I have rented Post Office Boxes before and i can assure you there is noway of doing it without solid proof of ID. It is also the same for the use of PAYPAL - you need to prove who you are to get a PAYPAL account setup including a valid credit card & address. This also goes for a bank account. Even if i could get somebody to set something up for me, i s…

I was clearing my chat history after seeing a few conversations that could be potentially dangerous to my liberty (i.e. jail) if discovered in my history. While there are methods to recover chat histories, regular clearing will make it harder for any LEO to get evidence in the case (god forbid) you get busted.... So, here's how to clear histories in MSN and Trillian, if you use another chat client and know how to do this, please post up the information or links to a guide... Trillian Info. NB - Ensure Trillian is not running while performing this action. In Trillian, the default log location is: C:\Program Files\Trillian\users\default\logs Browse to this folder an…

Thought I might start a DVD movie collection and need advice from other pirates on the best way to go about it without paying $600-$700 for a DVD burner.....I can copy a DVD with my CD burner but I need 2 discs to fit it on. I heard there was some software out there to download that fixes the 2 disc problem.

It's starting to annoy me, I can easily get rid of spam emails in a flash but waiting for it to download sometimes becomes frustrating especially after a few days away from the computer. I've tried a few email filters but they were no better than the Outlook express filter that I first used.

I just got a question about security and paranoia. As just today I had a freind totally freak out on me because I talked about drugs to him over MSN. The thing is, that I talk about drugs all the time over MSN with my buddies and never give it a second thought. I know that MSN and ther other instant messenger programs are unencrypted and if someone did knew how to sniff around and wanted to see what I was saying and had the skillz they could read my MSN chats, just as they could read my email. But I never really gave it much concern, because I figure that someone, particularly some law enforcement agency would have to be putting the effort into putting me under survei…

Technology that allows consumers to connect computers and other electronic devices through existing power outlets has become a reality. A consortium of about 90 high-profile technology companies will announce in the US later today that the group has finalised a new standard that will serve as a common way for connecting electronic devices to the Net through electrical outlets. The HomePlug Powerline Alliance, which includes Cisco Systems, Intel, RadioShack, Motorola and Hewlett-Packard, among others, has spent the past year working on a standard for using homes' internal electrical network to link electronic devices. The new standard is based on technology created b…

Hi everyone, just thought I'd point out a link I found by listening to the radio... there is a use for that amazingly old fashioned technology... Check out www.grc.com and click on Sheilds Up. You can have your computer thoroughly checked for any vulnerability, and then enhance your own protection from both spyware and other nasties through this method. There is no protection aside from your own really, so it pays to see how good your firewalls and other security methods are working. Hope this helps, and if anyone knows any other similar links then feel free to post em here as well..
