Be Careful When You Click “OK” 2
I’ve been reading about rootkits on alt.comp.virus for several months now.
From NPR’s Morning Edition:
More about rootkits.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

I can’t believe this. Yesterday I was listening to a podcast of Leo Laporte’s radio show and learned about rootkits for the first time, and I was going to write about them on my site but got too tired and ran out of time! I figured you probably knew about them but I was going to warn some others anyway.

I’m not buying any Sony CD’s if I can help it.
And I don’t do peer-to-peer.
I’m a newsgroups kind of guy.
