Maizeroad ... (maizeroad)'s Public Profile in the Diigo Community

I use Diigo because I wanted to be able to highlight and attach sticky-notes to sites and pages--esp. when I my brain jams and I can't think of what I want to do with a particular piece of info, or am surfing and want to come back to a site later to investigate a little further. And the 'Preview' feature is a fantastic idea!

Definition of a Sociopath on 2009-11-18
- •The third type of psychopath/sociopath is the dyssocial psychopath.
  "Dyssocial psychopaths can be said to have come about primarily due
  to Bandura's Social Learning Theory and his model for observational
  learning. They were effectively made antisocial by their environment" .
  
  This category of sociopathy is much rarer and therefore has been researched much less.
  
  The causes of this sociopathic disorder have been narrowed to several factors
  through research. One of the primary causes of sociopathic behavior is believed
  to be neurological abnormalities mainly in the frontal lobe of the brain.
- A second factor believed to be partially responsible for the sociopathic disorder in
  some cases is the primary socialization of individuals within dysfunctional
  environments, such as abusive, poorly educated, or poverty stricken homes.

- - An estimated 3% of all adult males have this sociopathic disorder. (The antisocial
    personality disorder is uncommon among women.)
  - Only a small fraction of this
    percentage actually develop into violent criminals.
  - They are considered only 'socially obnoxious' or hateful personalities, and every one of us
    knows of someone who fits the description.
  - A common characteristic is that they engage systematically in deception and manipulation of
    others for personal gain. In fact, many successful and adapted non-violent sociopaths can be
    found in our society. An NIMH epidemiologic study reported that only 47% of those who met the
    SPD criteria had a significant arrest record. The most relevant events for these persons occur
    in the area of job problems, domestic violence, traffic offenses,and severe marital difficulties.
  - More easily recognized and studied are the sociopathic individuals with histories of violent
    criminal behavior. As much as 15-25% of society's inmate population show many traits
    of this disorder.

- It offers 11 algorithms for encrypting your private files in a password-protected volume. You can store your encrypted data in files (containers) or partitions (devices). TrueCrypt works hard to offer powerful data protection, recommending complex passwords, explaining the benefits of hidden volumes, and erasing telltale signs of the encryption process, including mouse movements and keystrokes. Though the interface may not be immediately intuitive, its powerful, on-the-fly encryption for no cost still earns the freeware security tool a top rating.
