Fri, 15 Jun 2007 21:18:00 GMT Author: twoguysnamedjoe@gmail.comEpisode 45 Show Notes
Where Ed and Joe talk with Leonard (CISSP) about Privacy and that you don't have it anymore in today's connected world.What is your reasonable expectation of privacy when your information is all over the place, information that you've provided knowingly, but maybe unaware about all the places that that information will end up.
Participating in a customer loyalty program means serving the Mini Mes of the world.
Who cares if they know you bought their books or not?
Social engineering based on the information easily accessible on the internet can lead to your identity being lifted.
Social networking Web 2.0 sites, like MySpace.com are littered with social information waiting to be used to gleam a false identity.
Understand what information is out there, and consciously choosing what information you're willing to provide / allow to be out there to places like video rental stores.
Creating a false identity is a federal crime.
Make up your own security question / answer. e.g. what street were you born on? Venus is a butterfly.
Use an arbitrary question and password for web registrations and keep them in a freely available and encrypted software safe, e.g. passwordsafe, roboform.
Ask for the courtesy card, or someone else like the person behind you in the grocery store.
Try putting your phone number into Google in the form (999) 999-9999. There's a link to remove your name form google lookup.
Economics. Businesses aren't properly incentivizaed to protect my information.
Use a credit card when buying something online. It's federally mandated that if there are fraudulent charges on the visa, they bank has to eat it.
Identities for sale online for $14 < $18. They're so cheap because there's so many of them out there.
Quotes from this episode:
- There are things that are against the law and then there are things that are criminal.
- no thank you.
- who's your daddy?
- I've got lots of maiden names.
- Venus is a butterfly.
- I provide the same information to nothing.
- One more thing...

Fri, 18 May 2007 19:13:00 GMT Author: twoguysnamedjoe@gmail.comEpisode 41 Show Notes
Where Ed and Joe discuss the technology of GREEN.to be GREEN is a choice:
- buy a car with better mpg, or like a hybrid.
- to be green means to have less impact, to be good to the earth, like tread light, to be carbon neutral, to use less resources, or a sustainable resource, e.g. corn fuel, vegi oil, etc.
- the CA tree hugger car pool sticker for hybrids, govt. subsidy, promote use of alternate fuels, etc.
- the GREEN Tax, expect to pay more to be green friendly, not a good solution for promoting movement toward the moral good of green. sigh
- working the return on investment equation makes it obvious that buying a prius is not to save money
- being a steward of the earth
- being eco friendly
- having low impact
- alternate fuels
- shift to using sustainable resources
- big fans, windmills, fan farms...
- hydro energy
- solar panels, tap into the grid, credit on electricity fed back into the grid
Imagine a president that set a national goal to be eco friendly
things you can do now:
- replace incandescent bulbs with high efficiency fluorescents
- replace furnace with high efficiency furnace
- replace manual thermostat with a programmable thermostat
- it takes more overall energy to recycle, it costs more, it smells, it's stinky, it takes time
- why do it then? so as to not process the earth from nice pretty resources to ugly smelly land fills? to keep the bottles and cans off the road?
- returning cans to the store during the first years of the MI law
who's against us being green?
- fuel cos
- auto cos
- etc.
- e.g. turning the car off when engine not needed, to be effectively restarted instantaneously
Quotes from this episode:
- To be green means to be techy.
- Green is in, go green go white go green go white....
- did your dog just fart?
- people are part of the ecosystem, get with it
- be careful, you're talking about large people
- working the equation
- hot air rises
- if you're using less energy, you're paying less for that energy
