Anything and everything to do with those fast connections.

Speed is the best thing about broadband. The worst part is when people aren't educated about the dangers of it.

Great way to start.. Well here's some articles I found dealing with the dangers of broadband.

The Dangers of Broadband

Dangers of Online File Sharing

Hidden Dangers lurk for Broadband Users

Got Broadband? You're Under Attack

Gee, maybe we better go back to dialup and AOL

I'd suggest to everyone that they be more conscientiously protective of themselves. One should not use the excuse of not having broadband as a means of protection. Just as there is more potential abuse of security with broadband, that's offset by that you can immediately download (Relatively Large) needed software and components to either patch or offer more better security. So yes, there is a downside, but with that very thing offers a means to overcome any perceived downside and so is actually an overall upside.

Oh and yes Gweep, I suggest you check out Dslreports also..

You probably know http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym
I also disable File Sharing and turn off all Network as well as turning off DSL when not in active use. If you can access my computer without direct access. More power to you

So are you saying that I should try to access your computer without directly doing so? Hmm, more power to me.. Hmm... Yeah. Actually I didn't know and thanks.

I really dislike Cnn's online video feed that they require you to have a subscription with them or a real one pass..

And MSNBC is Windows only
The BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/ is pretty good

I thought I read somewhere that they only served to people in the uk?

The link is to the International Edition. I have no problem with video or audio

Kris,
I suggest you download Winamp and try out their streaming video section now It's not bad

I almost forgot about winamp and their streaming.. Wait how do you know?

After trying it, I must agree.. Heck I'm thrilled with the radio aspect of it, now all those video channels ahh! Just finished watching fight club on there, a simpsons show and some kind of live german speaking show. It's rather amazing.. All that with winamp.

Right now streaming

As for the news sites wanting you to register. Set up a throwaway email address for that. Yahoo and Hotmail have them for free. I use them, as do many here

And all the paid porn too!

Porn there is porn on the net?
Well I never.
It won't rub off on me will it?

Well rubbing something may be involved.

Thats why I wear glasses. The doctors all say it is good for the prostrate. I figure mine will be walking around three months after I'm dead.
