DVD Online Renting Vs Off-line Renting
by admin on Apr.22, 2010, under Uncategorized
With the invent of online renting stores, now people have more options of renting their favorite movies. They can either rent by going to their neighborhood
rental store or can browse through huge online available catalog and rent on a click of mouse. Both have their pros and cons.
Pros of online renting:
1. No need to go to store. Order at comfort of your home.
2. No late fees
3. Greater availability of catalog and availability of almost all movies online.
4. Order in advance
5. Watch as movies as you can in a month.
Pros of in-store renting:
1. More human touch
2. Availability of more deals and packages
3. Availability of pop corn, cola and other accessories
4. No payment if no rental
5. No late fee if you return in time
6. Availability of all new and latest titles.
So overall if you are a movie buff and watch two movies a day, online rental is a better way for you. However if you watch movies over weekend with your
family and return it next day then in-store conventional rental is the way to go.

your isp, would know, and yes ip numbers can be traced to your isp. anytime you connect with your browser, it sends info to the web site. matters not about a router.

If they connect to your internet network, yes they can track the things you’re doing in your computer. Actually, they can even take over and/or kill your computer.
To prevent this, you can make sure you have a good password for your internet network to prevent others from accessing it. And you can have a software like Norton Internet Security that lets you monitor your network to see who’s connected. That way you’ll know who’s in your network.

No, routers do not normally have that capability. I’ve gone through half-a-dozen, including some very advanced ones, and haven’t come across that.
BUT. If your landlord(?) is very technical, I know that programs called network-sniffers can certainly pick off each AND every site you visit. It takes quite a bit of know-how to do that, and there isn’t a way to know if they are using one or not.
I suggest that you explain to them that you have no intention of doing any malice and such over the internet, but that you’re rightfully aware that an individual’s privacy is paramount, and that you would like to know if and how they monitor network connections.
Hope that helps!

Yes,it is very easy to do that.They can know all the sites you have visited and what you have done on it,,they can get your user name and uncrypted password and even worse things.All these can be done with a tool called as network sniffer or network monitor/packet sniffer or other name.

It’s downright trivial to sniff the packets on a wireless network and see what everyone is doing. Happens all the time at coffee shops and such where hackers hang out and steal peoples identity.
You can secure your connection by encrypting it with a personal vpn http://www.surfbouncer.com It will make your data invisible to anyone on your local network no matter how hard they try.
It’s the same stuff business give to their employees while on on the road to protect their data when at hotels and other open public networks.
