    thank you very much Corion for your detailed explanation! cant i somehow enctypt the text that i send so that the isp cant see it, instead he will see the encrypted stream but then in the other hand how they will decrypt my text in the other side of the connection..... for example what can i do to at least protect my irc chatting from the curious eyes of the lonely isp dude that is watching me? and also mail as well! Thanks you.

      If you are a government agnet who is trading national secrets in an irc chatroom, my suggestion to you is a trip down by Q's lab. If you are trading warez, attempting to "cyber" with various individuals, or just want to keep the ISP guys from figuring out your 1337 strategy for Everquest, Star Wars Galaxies, or online solitaire then I appreciate the good laugh.

      Anonymously yours,

        Since when using encryption makes you terrorist or pirate? If it is my private data and if I want so it should be nobody f**king business to look on it whenether this nobody is ISP, government or somebody else.
