The Ten Net Commandments

I found “The Ten Net Commandments” in the Spyware Weekly Newsletter of Dec. 10, 2005. I thought it was done quite well and wanted to pass this on to as many people as possible. So here it is.

  1. Thou shalt not buy merchandise found in pop-up ads or spam.
  2. Thou shalt not post thy email address, phone number, address or social security number to the Internet, nor shalt thou post anyone else’s.
  3. Thou shalt not forget to update thy Windows every second Tuesday.
  4. Thou shalt not connect to the Internet without installing an antivirus, nor shalt thou begin a scan without checking for updates.
  5. Thou shalt not connect to the Internet without installing a firewall.
  6. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s credit card number, nor his bank routing number, nor his social security number.
  7. Thou shalt not enter thy credit card number without seeing the tiny padlock icon on thy status bar.
  8. Thou shalt not reply to the email from the Nigerian banker.
  9. Thou shalt not forward chain letters to thy friends and family.
  10. Thou shalt not use “password” as thy password, nor thy birthday, nor thy children’s names.

Cyrkam airtos Flash Game

My oldest son today pointed out a neat little shockwave flash game called Cyrkam airtos. Not sure what the name exactly means but the game is quite entertaining and a good time waster.

In the game you play a office worker sitting in a chair. The only thing you can do is control your arm and hand. The goal is to catch the paper ball and then toss it into the garbage can to get as many points as possible. The game is harder then it sounds.
