The €œportthru€� network is an unsecured wireless network that is
automatically created by certain HP laptops, Samsung wireless
printers, and other devices. These are designed to help you set
up €œad-hoc€� or direct computer to computer connections.

You definitely never want to connect to one of these.

I'll let Google steal YOUR identity, NOT MINE. Google is one of the top
identity stealing sites online. Along with Facebook and Amazon. I dont
use any of these three. I do however use Duck Duck Go.

Of course if you want to add to the demise of usenet, just keep telling
people to use google, for every on topic question they ask. Pretty soon
you'll have this newsgroup all to yourself, and you'll be able to post
questions and answer your own questions since no one else will be here.

But you're probably like this guy:

* All my life I wanted to own a big expensive yacht. After killing
everyone on board, it's finally mine. ALL MINE..... All I got to do now,
is figure out how to get it up from the bottom of the ocean, after I
serve my lifetime prison sentence.

You're delusional if you think Duck Duck Go isn't doing the same
data harvesting as Google.

Then you are using Google. Duck Duck Go uses Google to do the heavy lifting, then they display it as if it was their own. The only thing the contribute are filters for the results from Google.
