Re: Google IT
"Obviously don't ever let Google have the password you use for your bank though.."
Bank? Bank? I don't need no steenkin' bank. Not since SWIFT and then the DWP both stopped paying me. Have you ever tried to explain the need for personal privacy and password security to prisoners? They don't get it, and they kind of have a point.
I was spilling my work history to a famous, decent political blogger earlier today, trying to make that point, and they said "Did you see the Snowden piece that showed they were double dipping into SWIFT. How'd they manage that, any idea?"

Basically, you're either dealing with Mossad or not-Mossad. If your adversary is not-Mossad, then you'll probably be fine if you pick a good password and don't respond to emails from ChEaPestPAiNPi11s@virus-basket.biz.ru. If your adversary is the Mossad, YOU'RE GONNA DIE AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. The Mossad is not intimidated by the fact that you employ https://. If the Mossad wants your data, they're going to use a drone to replace your cellphone with a piece of uranium that's shaped like a cellphone, and when you die of tumors filled with tumors, they're going to hold a press conference and say "It wasn't us" as they wear t-shirts that say "IT WAS DEFINITELY US," and then they're going to buy all of your stuff at your estate sale so that they can directly look at the photos of your vacation instead of reading your insipid emails about them. In summary, https:// and two dollars will get you a bus ticket to nowhere. Also, SANTA CLAUS ISN'T REAL. When it rains, it pours.
