Microsoft is grabbing user data in Vista

Only because you gave them all the info!

Not quite seeing how you could get a broadband link without your ISP knowing your phone number... :confused:

Let's not forget the ISP - you know, the organisation who supplies you with an IP address (static or dynamic) and bills you for your broadband connection. Not only do they have access to what you do out here (internet), they also know your name, address, phone number, etc, etc, etc and most likely the details of one of your bank accounts.

That's why I secretly share my neighbor's wireless net connection.

No, not really, but with all the crap everyone's tracking, it's tempting.

And there was me doing the right thing by going round the neighbours and screwing down their networks for them - I made a note of their passwords though :p

No I didn't - honest

I made a note of their passwords though

I KNEW there was something I kept forgetting to do.

I got soooo many passwords I have to note them down. I was thinking of trying a new system though. I goes like this:

1. Think of a really strong password (mixed case, numbers and letters and all) and commit it to memory - this is your base password.
   
2. Every time you need to create a password, use your base password with the time of day stuck on the end.
   
3. Next time you need that password all you need to do is remember when it was that you created it.
   
4. Easy.
