Remembering 9-11

September 11 - It's still hard to believe this happened, even though we saw it and lived through it. We remember the 3,000 victims who died eight years ago today - in New York City, in Washington, D.C., and in a field in Pennsylvania. To their families and their memory we give our love, respect and gratitude. We honor the many acts of heroism and compassionate response that helped those who survived. Let us strengthen our resolve to unite as a people to find peace and a better way. And we send comfort, joy and peace to those who lost a loved one, a friend, or an associate.

Security Measures

Apparently while I was on vacation, we were once again updating our security measures – which is an ongoing process here at uscity.net.

Why we need to continually upgrade our security measures is something that has always bugged me. I supposed that we were trying to stop people from hacking us. So, I went online to find out why people do this. A few things I found out were that the way I was using the word “hacking” and the meaning of hacker is different. The main definition for hacker (in a computer related sense) is: “Computer Slang. a. a computer enthusiast. - b. a microcomputer user who attempts to gain unauthorized access to proprietary computer systems.” [dictionary.com]

I also found out that the ‘good’ hackers call these other people crackers. I guess because they try to crack the code to get into another person’s computer.

What irks me, besides taking up valuable time from people who are trying to make a living, enhance people’s internet experiences, etc. is this: if you are smart enough to hack into a system, why not just get a job programming or networking, do something worthwhile and get paid for it?!?

Well, that’s my rant for now!

Our wish is for everyone who uses uscity.net to have a good experience and we want you to let us know how we can make your use of our directory better. If you ever have any comments or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Just leave us a comment below.
