I wish people did more than listen to pundits on television.

People, do you actually believe what comes out of Glen Beck's mouth?? He's a corporate mouth piece who is makes controversy to get ratings. Seriously. This thread is not political. I just hate the corporate owned media which includes Fox News and CNN as well.

Me too. They are fear mongers who intentionally mislead people with lies to create controversy to get ratings. Ratings = $$$$$$. What is scary is that people watch them and believe what they report without doing any research on their own to see if it's even true.

This is retarded. Any website could do it with the correct wording in a disclaimer. Same with any computer program ever. If you're so bloody paranoid about things like this, which means you're probably doing something illegal anyways just circumvent it. And that lady talking about oh they have "malware systems and tracking cookies" is obviously so out of her scope that.... well just... ....

You people claiming this is blown out of proportion, I can attest to you that it is not.

I'm a engineering contractor working for Uncle Sam. I see the same notice when I log into the computer I'm typing this on @ 8am every day.

The notice means exactly what it says and it is enforced to the letter.

There was a guy in the division I work in, who's now doing a nickel in the federal pen because he was caught engaging in illegal activity with his gov't computer via real time monitoring about this time last year.

Uncle Sam does not screw around when it comes to their computer systems....

The biggest crooks in the world are our governments.

I will prolly get red flagged for that!

But that's the POINT. Only idiots would get themselves caught doing that. So if it happens, it's well deserved...

"Hmm the government may be monitoring this comp.... Let's find some CP."

There are an extreme number of other rules and regulations that you can violate that will get you in serious trouble using gov't computer systems without sending you to prison.

Misuse is enough is enough to lose security clearance if you have one, which can follow you around for the rest of your life and can be used as cause to launch investigations by several "3 letter" federal agencies that even if they don't result in anything, can cause you lots of problems. No exaggeration.

Before .gov even allows you to use one of their computers, you have to sit through a day long training program that covers everything from classified information to prohibited activities to protection of user privacy.

I'm not saying this to give any sort of creedance for anything else Beck says. The guys a whackjob but as the old saying goes, even a blind pig finds an acorn now and again. .Gov makes the rules with regards to their computer systems and they can make your life miserable over the use of them...

So if someone can't handle following said rules; don't use the computers. It's not as if it's a big brother type imposition.
