It's beginning to get quite hard to keep up with, with all of these
security and privacy intrusions and violations, especially nowadays...
And it's a de facto requirement that you spend a considerable time
going through all these news sites, attempting to stay 'up-to-date'
on all of these truly heartwarming issues.

Luckily our governments are working hard to protect us from these
violations and scams.

It's amazing what people put up with nowadays.  This reminds me of
one of the things I absolutely love about operating systems like
VMS (save for things like the PAKs hassle), Tru64 UNIX, IRIX and
so forth, being that you have in essence a largely 'nag-free'
operating system.
