Skimmed the thread, so maybe someone mentioned it and I missed it. One fairly simple solution would be to subscribe, d/l to a DVD-R and burn them all on one (actually a CD-R would fit everything from the BESC unless they have a lot more there now - time for my annual re-sub soon).

Something like that would be fairly easy to store surreptitiously if necessary.

The filter of perception, me thinks.

Obviously, things you're not fond of stand out the most to you in this situation. (not you, specifically, but generic 'you')

I guess I could see the mind control complaint, but I don't remember it being too prominent. Then again, I like a lot of that stuff too. I remember being really shocked by how virulent and angry people got about mind control stuff, taking it really personally, and I can see those people being pretty vocal.

On the credit card bill part why not get one of those prepaid credit card gift cards? that's what I use and we all have seperate accounts on computer plus I keep my items of interest under a folder for "Administrative Purposes" no one bothers with that area so doubly safe

CCBill isn't that bad to cancel, once you figure out how. It could be clearer, but then they couldn't nail you for another billing cycle when you get fed up and forget about it for a few days too many.

If you're looking to hide your files you can try some of the methods I did.

One is to save everything in a folder of a folder in program files. Name it something that sounds technical. If your family doesn't know much about the innerworkings of program files and is likely to NEVER check so deep, it'll work fine. It won't be searchable in the start menu (at least on vista) and it's really really obscure. The only problem I had with this is that on Vista, sometimes the files would disapear, and I could view them with a "save as" or "load/open" but not in the actual file. I guess that provides added security but I couldn't move them either, so I had to get Unlocker to do that. So I don't highly recomend this method unless you know how to prevent this.

Now that I have my own computer, I hide it in plain site on my downloads section. However, I've given it a "filey" sounding name, and changed the icon. Combine that with hiding it somehere in a subfolder of a subfolder, and make sure you clear out your "recent files" on your start menu, and you're good.
