Peer-to-Peer file sharing networks such as LimeWire or Napster allow computer users to share data, music, or movie files between computers.   You have to remember, copyrighted material is not legal to share with these programs, which severely limits file sharing.

I would think the average person is going to "file share" from home.  First of all, while most computer connections are now faster with cable, it still takes time and bandwidth to do so.   Plus you are allowing someone to link to your computer when you "share."

"Sometime late last year, an employee of a McLean investment firm decided to trade some music, or maybe a movie, with like-minded users of the online file-sharing network LimeWire while using a company computer. In doing so, he inadvertently opened the private files of his firm, Wagner Resource Group, to the public.

That exposed the names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers of about 2,000 of the firm's clients, including a number of high-powered lawyers and Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer.

The breach was not discovered for nearly six months. A reader of washingtonpost.com's Security Fix blog found the information while searching LimeWire in June."

Like I said in my title...I could see a teenager doing this...

Well, how can we ever forget the Don't tase me bro! escapade with Andrew Meyer, a student at UF (University of Florida) being Tased after asking John Kerry some questions?

There have been some pretty scary stories about Tasers.  Some studies conclude that Tasers are lethal and can cause fatal heart rythyms.

In 2004, the first year the Milwaukee Police Department used Tasers, they zapped 105 people in the first four months. 

Wisconsin does not allow the sale of Tasers or allow individual citizens to carry or own Tasers for protection, along with the following states, cities, counties and municipalities:  New Jersey; District of Columbia; Hawaii; Massachusetts; Michigan; New York; Rhode Island; Philadelphia, PA, Baltimore County, MD; Annapolis, MD; South Bend, IN; and Howard County, MD.

Now to the real point of my story.

For the rest of the states that allow Tasers, woman (or men) may purchase Tasers that now come in 50,000 volts of hot Metallic Pink!

"The pink C2, which sells for $300 to $349, looks less like a gun and more like an electric shaver. It's lightweight, and its size allows it to slide into your evening clutch alongside your cell phone and iPod."



And it also comes in designer colors of Electric Blue, Titanium Silver, and Black for $310-320.00

Sounds like a deal to me! 

The C2 can hit an attacker 15 feet away and works up to 50 times without having to be recharged.
