Random Passphrase Generator" "Since cracking algorithms succeed by picking up patterns in human behavior, the key to a secure password is randomness and disorder. In the security business, this is known as entropy.
It’s difficult for a human being to fake randomness and disorder. So one easy way to achieve this is to use a password generator tool that incorporates entropy.
On this website, you move your mouse around randomly, and the website’s software incorporates these random mouse movements into its password generation code.
The passwords that it generates are far more secure, taking centuries to crack instead of mere seconds.
It may be a good idea to take a few minutes out of your life to check your own password vulnerability, and come up with an alternative that’s far more secure.
This passphrase provides the maximum level of security of which current cryptosystems are reasonably capable, and is strong enough to be immune to all known or theorised attacks from any conceivable attacker for at least ten years.
This passphrase is strong enough to generate cryptographic keys for long–term use, encrypt high–security archives, and is easily strong enough for any login service.
To preserve maximum entropy, this passphrase should not be changed in any way.[...]"

Ways To Share Multiple Links On One Page"
"URL shortening is certainly nothing new. In fact, it's become an
absolute necessity when it comes to sharing links on social networks that
limit your character count like Twitter. But rather than simply shorten URLs
and present them in neat little shortened URLs, it's also possible to do
exactly the same thing for multiple links. There are several services which
make it easy to share a bundle of links together as one shortened link.

Resource: "PrivNote"
"Certain things are just not meant to exist online forever. Sometimes the Internet can feel extremely constricting. Have you ever posted your email address on a forum somewhere? It goes from that forum, to the Google search engine, to a mess of spammers and scrapers, and thus the entire web. Virtually everything you publish online will exist in text for a very long time thanks to caching and archiving.
However, that’s only if an outside party (such as a crawler or spider from a search engine) can access it. Keeping things private and restricted should shield it away from search engine exposure. Adding another layer of security by eventually scrubbing that content off of the web entirely ought to put you in even better shape.

"While American internet users can quite happily watch Hulu, the fact that I live in the UK means I can’t. Likewise, BBC iPlayer is free for UK citizens; but if your physical location says America then you’re out of luck buddy. It’s a frustrating state of affairs, and we won’t stand for it! Neither will Tunlr.net: a new free service that aims to remove region restrictions the world over by way of some magic DNS trickery.
We are the internet generation, and we hereby refuse to accept political boundaries. There are no borders for us; Justin made that quite clear when he showed us just how this amazing internet brings people from all over the world together to produce
MakeUseOf. The idea that any country could censor the internet outrages us; yet we routinely accept that licensing constraints mean streaming services are region locked. The legal reasons for this may all be well and valid, but there are no real, physical boundaries on the internet and the location based rules shouldn’t apply. But VPNs cost money, and can be slow. Tunlr is hoping to solve that using a slightly different method.
Simple. Head over to the Tunlr site, click Show Me How, and scroll down for the replacement IP addresses you should use. If you’re unsure how to adjust these settings, the site contains specific instructions for changing the DNS IPs on various devices including Xbox and mobile: pretty much any internet connected device can be used. Some of the services currently supported include: US video streaming services:
Netflix, Hulu, CBS, ABC, MTV, Crackle, Fox, TV.com, PBS, History channel. US audio streaming: Pandora,
Last.fm, Turntable.fm, MOG, iHeartRadio. Non-US video streaming: BBC iPlayer (UK), 4oD (UK), iTV (UK), Zattoo (Switzerland and Germany) [...]"

Encryption ensures no one can eavesdrop on your web browsing. Whether you’re searching on Google, browsing Wikipedia or sending private messages on Facebook, your information is sent in the clear if you’re not using encryption.
You won’t find HTTPS Everywhere in the official Firefox add-ons gallery; you’ll have to get it directly from the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s site. Just go to the HTTPS Everywhere page and click the big Install HTTPS Everywhere button.
HTTPS Everywhere is enforcing encrypted connections to many services we use on MakeUseOf, although many may use encryption by default. With HTTPS Everywhere, you don’t depend on the webmaster to set up their site properly; you get encryption everywhere you go — with every service that supports it, of course.
Plug a search into the Google search box included with Firefox and you’ll go straight to Google’s encrypted search page. Any searches you make with Google’s HTTPS site are encrypted before they’re sent to Google, so no one can eavesdrop on them. Without the extension, people on public Wi-Fi networks can see all your searches.[...]"

Logical fallacies from written media: books, newspapers, magazines, newsletters, etc. A "logical" fallacy is a mistake in reasoning, that results in a erroneous proposition without any validity. Yet, people are conditioned over a lifetime to 'believe' fallacies constitute valid discourse, even creating 'laws' and social customs around them. Fallacies are defects in an argument - other than false premises - which cause an argument to be invalid, unsound or weak.

"No Agenda" Radio Podcasts Very Funny 10 Search Engines to Explore the Deep End of the Invisible Web "The Invisible Web refers to the part of the WWW that’s not indexed by the search engines. Most of us
think that that search powerhouses like Google and Bing are like the Great Oracle…they see everything. Unfortunately, they can’t because they aren’t divine at all; they are just web spiders who index pages by following one hyperlink after the other. But there are some places where a spider cannot enter. Take library databases which need a password for access. Or even pages that belong to private networks of organizations. Dynamically generated web pages in response to a query are often left un-indexed by search engine spiders. Search engine technology has progressed by leaps and bounds. Today, we have real time search and the capability to index Flash based and PDF content. Even then, there remain large swathes of the web which a general search engine cannot penetrate. The term, Deep Net, Deep Web or Invisible Web lingers on. To get a more precise idea of the nature of this ‘Dark Continent’ involving the invisible and web search engines, read what Wikipedia has to say about the Deep Web. The figures are attention grabbers – the size of the open web is 167 terabytes. The Invisible Web is estimated at 91,000 terabytes. Check this out – the Library of Congress, in 1997, was figured to have close to 3,000 terabytes! How do we get to this mother load of information? ..."
