[...] and I had agreed that I would write 4-5 posts at 400-500 words a piece. But if you happen to look, here, here, here, here, and here, you will see that on average my posts were around a thousand words [...]

Privacy? I always tell my folks that if you want privacy, don’t do anything online.

But yeah, I think the “spirit” of the law would point more to what you are suggesting.

It may not yet be a technical crime but morally if you haven’t been invinted to sniff ones data then doing so is a breach of privacy.

In the UK that at least has some protection in law. I’m sure some clever lawyer would (or even has) turn that to their use.

Ditto for a post on setting up a self-signed certificate for the authentication portion of WP-admin. If not here, atleast on ChurchIT. Obviously its good not to get lulled into a false sense of security, but learning the skills can give you just that much more of springboard.

@PatrickB

Yeah this is funny to me.

For years my Dad would read to us from a Giant Red picture Bible. And I can remember asking him about the Israelites and why they just didn’t have faith in God, instead of wandering the desert for all those years.

Obviously, as an adult that child like faith is now lost and has been replaced with a pretty heavy sin seeking mindset. Meaning that I have stupidly chosen to find out the hard way and do some “wandering” of my own.

In this same fashion a lot of people get warned about security concerns pretty early and pretty often. It only becomes an issue when something bad happens and they have to learn the hard way. And as the consultants, we end up sitting back and shaking our heads thinking “Why didn’t they just have faith that I knew what I was talking about?”

It never ceases to amaze me that the Bible practically teaches age old lessons in the oddest and yet most compelling ways.

@AaronMelton

I agree with a lot of what you said.

“Personal opinion: Sniffing packets on a network isn’t any more of a crime than listening to a noisy conversation nearby.”

Though this, is just a really gray area to me. I think we will see the morality of this choice being defined culturally in the coming years, as the computer science arena is not heavily regulated (yet).
