Keep Your Computer & Privacy Secure While on Social Networking Sites

Social networking sites are as a group the most popular sites on the internet and quite a few of them are receiving millions of visitors every day. If you want to keep your computer and privacy safe while using these social networks then you need to make sure you surf them anonymously. To surf the social networking sites you’ll need to find a proxy list that supports the social networking sites. Typically you can find proxies that support more then one of the social sites which are better so that you don’t need to switch proxies every time.

A proxy surfer will allow you to surf the social networking sites like Facebook and Bebo without having to be concerned about your computer security because you’ll be surfing the site on a hidden IP address. When you surf sites like Facebook on your own IP then you run the risk of someone being able to access your IP which would allow them to access your computer very easily. Protecting yourself from these intruders is becoming important because as these social sites continue to grow, more and more people are trying to unethically access your computer.

There are some lists on the internet that you can use to find proxies that you can use to surf social sites like Facebook and Bebo anonymously. Your computer holds quite a bit of information that you don’t want to let anyone access and you’d be surprised how easy it is for someone to access any file on your computer with just your IP address. Make sure you never download anything from social network sites unless you know where the file is coming from because even if you’re using a proxy and you download something it will still harm your computer if it’s not what it’s supposed to be. To surf social sites safely like Facebook or Myspace, you may like to check these Myspace proxies and Facebook Proxies.

Can we Cap and Trade Global Warming?

Innovation and progress are not uncommon bedfellows; in fact, one is rarely seen without the presence of the other. But there’s a new twist to this tale, the story in which the main characters are the greenhouse effect, carbon emissions and global warming. As mankind advances by leaps and bounds in the field of industrialization, it leaves behind the footprints of destruction, if experts (or doomsday merchants, depending on which side of the table you’re on) are to be believed. Every gallon of gas we guzzle translates into smoke that’s choking our atmosphere, every spire that rises from the smokestacks of a factory signs the death warrant of a tree somewhere, and every light that burns unchecked in our homes heralds the arrival of unexplainable changes in weather patterns.

The alarms are being sounded to alert the world to this dangerous tendency of innovation to choke the very existence of mankind, and policymakers are enjoying a field day dictating terms to the polluters regarding how much each one is allowed to defile the earth and its atmosphere. The cap and trade on carbon credits is one such policy that is designed to reduce the total amount of carbon emissions in the world.

Carbon credits refer to the system by which an entity, either a person or an organization, is allowed to buy the right to pollute the earth with carbon emissions. Each entity is assigned a cap or upper limit on the amount of carbon emissions it is allowed during a certain period of time. If the limit is exceeded, the entity has the option of buying the “credits” of other entities who have not used up their share, at existing market rates. While this practice has been in existence for a while, the trading of credits has been of one’s own volition. But if the Warner-Lieberman Climate Security Act is passed, it will mandate organizations to trade credits once they have hit their cap limit.

While the policy looks good on paper, it raises many controversial questions. Is it right that we allow those who have more money the right to pollute the earth and hasten the destruction of its natural resources? Isn’t it more advantageous to the interests of the fight against global warming to restrict entities to the cap and applaud and award those who emit emissions under the cap? Isn’t the whole exercise of the Act meant to reduce the greenhouse effect instead of allowing it to a certain extent?

The answers to these questions will never be answered, at least not in a way that’s satisfactory to all concerned. And that is because we, as a race, have become so attuned to the comforts and benefits that innovation has afforded us that we are turning a blind eye to the consequences of our lifestyles. Even the preachers of austerity live a far from Spartan life! In fact, entire sectors of education such as top online universities will have to pick up the slack and reform high energy consuming areas such as x-ray tech schools. If global warming has to be stopped or at least slowed in its tracks, the only solution is to forgo the innovation that we are so proud of today, and since that is not something that will happen in the near future, we can only wait and see if things will become as worse as predicted.

Rose Bushes

Going to spend some time working on the landscaping in our back yard, especially with planting a few rose bushes around the pool pump. There’s a fairy rose bush that is doing very well in our front yard, so I think I can find one that will grow large enough to cover some of the pool pump (it’s not very high). Also am going to add some additional plantings, not sure which though.

Interpretation of Equal Pay Act Clarified

The Senate blocked a bill meant to change the Equal Pay Act. During a session on April 23, 2008, the Republican block of senators voted to turn down the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. The act delineates the Title VII under the Equal Pay Act to clarify the statute of limitations on filing lawsuits for claims of pay discrimination.

The bill was composed after the Supreme Court overturned a previous decision based on the wording of Title VII. Title VII of the Equal Pay Act states that employees can only sue within 180 days after the incident of discrimination. Opinions and court decisions vary on their interpretation of this bill, with most believing that the 180 days apply to each act of discrimination, meaning each instance that an unfair salary is given. The Supreme Court chose to strictly follow the wording of the law and clarified that the 180 days referred to the very first act of discrimination, meaning the first unfair salary that was given. The Ledbetter Fair Pay Act would have changed the wording of Title VII to state that lawsuits can be filed within 180 days from the last instance of prejudice.

All this discussion has risen because of a lawsuit filed by Lisa Ledbetter. Ledbetter was an employee of Goodyear for 19 years, after which she was offered and accepted resignation. The plaintiff was the only female area manager for Goodyear and was apparently unaware that the other male area managers were earning salaries, bonuses and benefits that were not offered to her. Ledbetter was bound by her contract not to discuss her financial compensation with her co-workers. She only learned of the difference in pay after she received information from an unknown source.

After investigation, it appeared that Ledbetter was given a salary that was below the minimum standard of Goodyear for the position of Area Manager. It seems that an infamously sexist Goodyear superior who originally hired Ledbetter and worked out the terms of her contract made the decision.
Those who turned down the bill stand behind the original Title VII in their belief that 6 months is enough to detect and prove unequal pay. Senators who voted against the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act stated that extending the time limit for filing of law suits would give way to unnecessary cases and be a burden to big companies and the legislative system. Prior to the Senate session, President George W. Bush had declared that he would veto the bill.

When Ledbetter filed the case in the lower court, a jury found that Goodyear was guilty of pay discrimination and awarded the plaintiff with back pay and damages. Goodyear then appealed and then higher court overturned the previous decision. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Goodyear in a 5-4 vote.
