Thank you for making my point better than I ever could.
Quote:...kick back with some more Herb Alpert...
Quote:smoking dope isn't the answer.
lol, I completely missed that inference. I thought he was referring to Herb Alpert who's music I happen to have a lot of. I thought it was some kind of cultural dig. I guess I'm not surprised that he was referring to doing drugs.
Quote:Your ISP (internet service provider) tracks every keystroke, every page that pops up on your computer, how long it it took to load, how long you looked at it, anything you clicked on and anything you've typed unless it was encrypted. This is called a server log. It has been done this way since the 1980's when the internet's World Wide Web was formed. This information will be used against you in court by your own government if it serves their interest. For example, if you are accused of a hate crime, and you looked at guns or extreme organizations prior to the crime, they will show the jury the date and time you looked at it, the actual guns, actual clubs, anything you typed or texted, the porn and anything else they can to discredit your character.
Steve, thank you for your clarification. Given the quote at the top of this post I hope you can see why I raised a concern in the first place.
