I was just roaming the internet for some interesting reads and I came across [this very interesting paper](http://www.priv.gc.ca/information/research-recherche/2011/forcese_201107_e.asp) about how to define a legal framework for the "reasonable expectation of privacy" when it comes to our new cyber-existence. I thought I'd share it with you guys, and see what you …

What's going on? I can neither find the home page nor the forum directory. And when I went to log in, there was no option for logging in with my handle, only with my email. And when I was logging in with my email, the system insisted my password was …

What would happen to the world if for some relatively long (say 3 months) period, we would be deprived of internet? For one thing, I would not be able to type this on DaniWeb! No more internet games. The most nearby pizza restaurant? Your cell phone won't tell you. etc. …

I heard on National Public Radio that New Tech City is launching a project for people who'd like to cut down on all their smartphone time. In particular, the thinking behind the project is that by always turning to smartphones, whether for texting or games, people no longer allow themselves …

For anyone interested in issues of privacy, I'm reading a great book, "Dragnet Nation," by Julia Angwin. And I found this interesting. http://us.macmillan.com/dragnetnation/JuliaAngwin I was struck by this: *Professor Ryan Calo...points to a Stanford University study showing that an individual will respond more positively to a politician whose picture is …

Okay, okay, I know that most of you stopped using floppies long ago. But my question is: I was about to buy a Buslink external USB floppy disk drive (brand new, still sealed) from someone on Craigslist, and just wondered if it's a decent brand. And would have I have …

Wired magazine from published an extensive interview by, aptly, James Bamford. I urge everyone to buy the magazine, even though it's expensive, to support this kind of necessary reporting. But for those who can't, especially if you're not in the U.S., here's the link: http://www.wired.com/2014/08/edward-snowden/

There's a new documentary coming out that might be of interest to the forum, called "The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz," which is getting great reviews. Swartz, you'll recall, is the internet wunderkind who committed suicide while being under fire from U.S. law enforcement. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/22/mo...reen.html?_r=0 http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_..._aaron_swartz/

I know awhile ago suggestions were being welcomed, and I was just now perusing the Geeks' Lounge to see if there was anything interesting, worth replying to... One of the balancing acts is to walk the fine line between a forum being too large and general vs. too narrow and …

There doesn't seem to be an appropriate other forum for this, even though it relates to the internet, so I'll resort to here. I had a typo and accidentally was directed to a page that listed four toll-free telephone numbers for Hotmail: 800-471-1429 877-268-2692 877-385-1667 855-280-0768 That's odd, I thought, …

I've never seen the point of broad threads that go on forever like asking what movie you've seen lately, so I'm going to recommend something specific. I just saw a very good new documentary called *Terms and Conditions May Apply*. It will be of particular interest to anyone interested in …

As many of you know, communities such as DaniWeb thrive on a constant source of new blood into the community. Existing members lose interest, personal lives take over, and even the most dedicated of members tend to stick around for a limited amount of time. The hard part is welcoming …

Not literally an addict, but do you spend most of your free time doing things that involve a computer or the internet? Or do you still allocate ample time to whatever other things you might enjoy, for instance, reading, movies, concerts, sports, etc.?

I find that if something takes longer than a few hours to do, my patience runs thin, so then my temper starts to flare ;) So, how long does it take others to Begin the classic desk thumping, space slamming, vocal announcing that you are now highly annoyed ;)

I've been burrowing through a stack of old magazines, and I had a copy of Yahoo! magazine, now defunct, which I'd picked up because the cover story was "100 Best Websites." Okay, I know few people seem to read these days - they just go online and ask people for …
