My daughter was telling me about an app that day-cares and schools use to send photos of kids to 'helicopter' and panic parents and I tried explaining why that was a security issue:

How do you explain to people who don't realise the problem that there IS a problem.

I've tried using the Jewish registration at the Nazi police stations (what, 1939ish?).
I've tried hacker data stealing.
Data collection of kids through adulthood.....

What is a good argument to use against "App! Facebook! Wow! If you don't do anything wrong you have nothing to worry about"?

Anyone got a good speal?

    When aristarchus gets a son who was awake until 4am 3 nights in a row, and so uses an unresponsive spell-checker to check his spelling, he will have stepped into my shoes and will know what it is like to not know how to spell while being pretty much punch drunk.

    Usually, my spelling is impeccable, thanks.

    But thank you for commenting, Aristarchus! :)
    You get two Tribbles today!

    Finally getting some sleep and should be back on here more, again.
