How safe is your computer from big brother.

Computor privaticy, how much information do you think or willing to let the government know about you and what, see, do on your computor. Let you into a little secret. You let them know everything from the sites you visit to the accounts you keep, even those naught sites.

 

How are they doing it.  I was watching youtube about a man who exposed micro soft selling information to the USA government in the name of war on terror. Attach is the video.

 

How they are doing it is through the privicy options on your computor. I will incude how to switch it off, in another attached video. After doing it myself an unsual thing happened, at 7 o'clock I got a phone call from what I thought was my provider, an indian woman spoke asking if I had any problems with my computor whether it was slow starting up the net or my msn program. Then she hang up when I started asking questions, on why she rang. Now I am not saying its some conspirsy but, I would of thought if someone was phoning you you would want to know why.

 

Micosoft is a private company that is selling and using your information to the government of the USA, Now if they are doing that in the name of secrity issues, which is against the law in this country. Then what is stopping them from selling on to other government agencies, banks, multinations and so on. Or the USA government selling it on.

 

Do you want the tax department looking at your books, or your kids photos. Personnal letters. You name it.

I got a similar call from a man who had an accent, just from watching the second video!!!!!!!! The problem is not Microsoft - but may be connected in someway to these videos!!! It doesn't make sense to me - but the only thing I did was watch the second video.

I know for a fact that credit card and banks are selling information to corpations. It is just one step away from governments doing the same. If its anything you can trust your government, to keep your private information safe for a price. Meaning if they are getting into bed with private or public companies in the why they are writing their policies. In other words you give your private information freely and have to pay to keep it, that way. Which would make you pay through your taxs, pay to put your paper work in, pay the fee for the approval and pay for privacy of information.

Hi Richard and Bristow:
I think it is important for everyone to be careful with their personal information.
This technology is fairly new and criminals will look for ways to exploit info.
Be careful...
Thanks,

Thank you for your consern, but my point is governments using it without permittion for profit, or creating laws to use it for profit, without your consent. Big brother as Richard said he got a phone call for watching a video. American FBI and CIA now spying on Canadians?

Info on Computer Repair Telemarketing Scams - this is what they tried on me. I hung up within 5 seconds. I don't think the FBI is running a computer repair scam.

Yes your right, I got another phone call this afternoon, from them too, told them to f off. But they got our phone number to do the scam, which proves some thing. I been doing my own research, and in the end its up to each idvual to make up his their own mind. Governments have attendancy to throw radical ideas and gauge the reaction throw leaks and hearsy or use an event to push throw policies. Which as been proven again and again. Now they don't bother, the people have given us the mandate to rule. As a Queensland permier said, as she sold everything that the state owned.

OFCAF Producer Perspective on Virtual Fencing – Cody Claypool

On a cold Alberta night, few jobs are less appealing than heading out to move polywire so cattle can keep making the most of a swath-grazing field. For producer Cody Claypool, virtual fencing offered a way to reduce that winter labour while still controlling how his herd accessed feed and helping capture the full value of swath grazing. Instead of bundling up in the dark to shift electric fence, Cody could check his cattle’s movements from the comfort of home — even in the middle of the night — and make management decisions from his phone. That practical fit is what made the technology worth trying on the Claypool operation, where Cody manages a herd of approximately 400 cattle and is always looking for ways to make grazing more efficient without adding more hours to already full winter days. Cody’s parents first learned about virtual fencing at an Alberta Stockgrowers meeting, where RDAR CEO Mark Redmond and Olds Researcher Briana Elliot gave presentations. Their interest was piqued

British Columbia organizations coming together to boost skills and talent training in Canadian food and ingredient ecosystem

As Canada works to reach its full opportunity to do more with what it grows, there’s an increasing need to train and produce skilled workers across the food production and value-added agriculture value-chain. Today, to help address this need, Protein Industries Canada is announcing a new project with BC Food & Beverage (BCFB), the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Cultivated Food Labs (CFL), to develop and deliver a new coordinated skills training program. Canada’s ability to Make More Here presents an opportunity to unlock $25 billion in GDP and upwards of 17,000 new innovation-based jobs. BCFB, UBC and CFL are combining their expertise to ensure enough skilled talent is ready to fill these jobs, providing companies across Canada with the workforce needed to help reach new growth potential and new markets. “A strong and resilient agri-food sector depends on a highly skilled workforce,” said the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada

Barn Boards and Baling Wire

One morning when we still lived on the farm, I looked out the front window and saw the barn door was open. A horse was standing by the corn crib not 10 feet from the road. It wasn’t my horse, but still I had that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. We had rented out a stall to an Amish neighbor to board his horses for a month while he was doing some logging nearby. He paid the rent with several loads of firewood. As a bonus he spread some of that high-octane Percheron exhaust on the garden, so it was a good deal all around. The neighbor arrived within a few minutes to tend to the wayward horse, so it all ended well. But that sinking feeling brought back memories of all those times in my youth when somebody left a door or a gate unlocked and the cows got out – usually onto the road and almost always at the most inconvenient time. Chasing cows at three o’clock in the morning is not fun, especially when your school bus is due to arrive at 7 a.m. We came home recently after being
