An Email Address for Life
The multitude of free ISP's outh there, and the ease with which you can hop from one to the other brings with it a real disadvantage - no one can find you. Each ISP brings with it it's own addressing structure. Whilst your are FredBloggs@NonSuch.com - when you change to FreeTheCyberHackers.Com you become Blogg123, or whatever. OK I hear you say, I'll just email my compatriots with my new eaddress, when I switch ISP, but they too are doing the same thing, and the their email address bounces.
Wouldn't It be great if...
..you could have one, unchanging email address for life. An address which would follow you from home to college, to work even when you hop from ISP to ISP.
Here's the good news - there is a way. Companies such as Bigfoot.com and Email.com (and probably others) will give you a free email address 'for life'. Simply register on line with one, and immediately instruct it to redirect all incoming email to your current ISP's email address. Want to change ISP's? No problem, no need to bulk email your pals with your new address - simply re-target your Bigfoot address at the news ISP.

The Norwegian hackers cracked the content scrambling system, or CSS, in a fairly straightforward manner. Using the DVD playback code found in computer software, they devised a utility called DeCSS that would read discs, decrypt them and save the video and audio to a computer's hard disc instead of displaying it on the computer's screen.
With a fast PC an entire movie can be "ripped" in about 45 minutes. Using a DVD recorder, the file on the hard disc can then be recorded on to another disc. Other DVD-ripping utilities can be used to record the movie on to video-CDs.
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.
DAY 761
Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded. (Must try this at the top of the stairs.) In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair. (Must try this on their bed.)
DAY 762
Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night.
DAY 765
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm. Not working according to plan...
DAY 768
I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.
DAY 771
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.
DAY 774
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The Dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The Bird on the other hand has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue (something akin to mole speak) and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the hanging metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time.
