Be very careful where you store your sensitive data.

Sadly thats an old government trick. Since the US and UK aren't supposed to spy on their own citizens... the US spies on UK citizens, and the UK spies on US Citizens. They simply then 'exchange' their intellegence data... and they have what they want.

It was a major point of the Echelon Project. Also look up the UKUSA agreement if you're interested in this area.

It's a brave new world we are living in.

Old 'news' - various gleanings dependent on your take (I'd go for nothing new under the sun ~or~ an expected thing)

mechanical watches - hmm, once when I asked at a public library (a few years back) about the availability of Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of A Clockwork Orange, I was advised it was only available if one expressly reserved it and thus arose a small feeling of being watched :roll: (not that my library card is any anonymity in itself). One of my first DvD purchases, btw. Cash :lol:
