Are there no safe roads to walk?

As reported in public medias and the police reports, the series of assaults against women in UBC has altered many people’s view to the safety of the environment that we are in. As a young female UBC student taking on a full-time course load while working on the side, finding enough time to just catch up with the studies is already an enormous task. Worrying about the safety of my walk back home should not be one of the things that troubles me after I clock my hours in our libraries. I’m sure I am not the only one who is sicken by this. What has our campus come to?

Angels and Hackers

This video shows the hackers v angels view in such a black and white fashion that misrepresents the many grey areas that exist in our world.
there is no mention of hackers hacking for the purposes of gaining information hiden from the public for ethical reasons not for money or personal gain.
the film also assumes companies that hire hackers operate in an ethical way to begin with when they may be engaging in illegal or illicit activities that
can be revealed by so called “black hooded’ hackers. poor representation of the major issues and debate surrounding hacking,
internet security and freedom of information.I could hardly stand the black and white dualist mentality. Hackers are a grey area, always have been always will,
somebody’s devil is always someone else’s hero, you can count on this film as a one sided view against hackers and your cyberspace freedom.
in order words “Live by the computer, die by the computer.”It’s our new destiny! We create a world where everything is connected to networks.
Personal security is quite simply a thing of the past

Experience of a customer service report

 

Thesedays, Because of the  heavy mushrooming of online shopping sites, everything we could possibly desire is available online. Since we cannot be physically present to check the goods while buying them, well-meaning e-retailers offer customer-protection policies including stringent quality checks, exchange policies and money-back guarantees. I wish to convince people of the necessity of shopping only through sites with such well steps for customer benefit by narrating my best shopping experience.

I had selected a black jacket from a shopping site. The jacket looked cool and.. I paid online and eagerly awaited the jacket. Two days later, I received a call from the site saying the jacket had not passed their quality checking grades and they were extremely sorry for the inconvenience. They refunded the money soon, in the form of a cheque, and not once did they expect me to buy something in exchange. Neither did they try to refund the money in the form of shopping credits. This event showed to me that if the shopping website is good, we can be safer off buying from the internet than from a shopkeeper face to face. Therefore, I recomand to go through the customer protection policies of any website before buying from it, and to enjoy shopping from the convenience of their homes, saving time and money like I do.
