tech BS / was: Re: dual booting Ubuntu 13.04 and Windows 7

[Christine Gipson]

Obviously something I already know ...
Still does not make using my LaCie external drive any easier when they
snatch the Windows interfaced software directly from my downloads file in
order to pirate my art and photos. Big business to Chinese, Russians, &
others.
The Patriot Act in the USA and DEA suspicions has been co-opted as an
excuse for installation of spyware and remote capable tech like installing
an old cell phone with Bluetooth capabilties inside desktops that are
offline to watch everything for a while. With the advent of cloud and Smart
Share technologies, it is even easier to be an amateur detective or
pirate/thief.
