Congratulations, and good luck!

Zeus lost entropy gaining gravity and mass but this was just a figure of speech. (6)

I just learned a new word...
ZEUGMA - see zeugma - Wiktionary[^]
ZEUS minus S (traditional symbol for entropy), plus G and MA.

New one on me Peter - I also didn't know S was the symbol for entropy, so it's no wonder I didn't solve it

Correct answer, you are up tomorrow!
Zeus lost entropy gaining gravity and mass but this was just a figure of speech. (6)
Zeus lost entropy = Zeu
gaining gravity = g
and mass = ma
figure of speech = Zeugma Zeugma[^]

They say when you`re online, a third party can tap into your internet connection/watch your activity. How does that happen? When you`re online there is just your computer a cable connected to your computer`s network board and a computer at the other end representing the ISP. To my mind in order for someone to read your exchange of information he has to connect physically to the cable that between you and the ISP. If I force my imagination to run wild I could imagine the network board decoding the signal traveling down the network cable as requests made to the computer`s inner channels which I assume is what win sockets are.
In this case `listening` could mean that something at the end of one socket is observing what is passing through another socket. But for this to happen I imagine some kind of monitoring software would have to be installed, I suspect sockets aren`t made by default to watch one another.
Also does a networking cable transport a single stream of data? To my mind the cable frequency would have to be extremely high to permit the transition of a decent amount of data. If there are several steams of data in a cable it`s easy to imagine information coming from one stream being illegaly read/stolen on the end user computer by a piece of software and sent back towards the malitious person through another stream.

Um. No, it doesn't quite work like that ... How does the internet work? - BBC Bitesize[^] There is no "direct connection" between your computer and the server, and two messages you sent to teh same server at the same time may take wildly different routes to get there.
Open a command prompt, and type "tracert Codeproject.com" and see what happens ...

Yeah, that is what my university textbook said, too.
If some swordfish decides to cut a transatlantic fiber cable, the automatic rerouting of IP packets in the Internet will ensure that all your packets immediately will be routed along alternate paths.
Uh, not. While that would be according to the principles - and you can easily set up a model network to "prove that it works that way, it doesn't work that way in practice. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.
In theory, every IP packet is routed independently, regardless of the routing of the previous packet (or the following one) between the same two endpoints, requiring a complete evaluation to be made by every single router for every single IP packet. In low-capacity you usually have no options: You have only a single line to your ISP; there is no significant routing decision to be made. Once the packet gets out on the highway, the routers handle millions of packets every second. There is no time to give each packet individual treatment. Every packet to the same destination - and for long hauls, we are not talking about end nodes, but end subnets, are routed exactly the same way, according to routing tables that are far more static, and far more manually managed, than internet people like to admit.
Certainly there is no galvanic connection between endpoints. Certainly the connection doesn't have a cable by itself. It doesn't even have a given timeslot to itself, the way phone connections had in the pre-ip-phone days. IP packets are statistically multiplexed on on huge capacity line. But for all practical purposes, they do all go on the same line, the same cable.
I guess that if you pay for five separate ISP connections, which are connected to five different backbone networks managed by five huge, competing companies each running their own transatlantic cables, and your local router distributes your packages evenly, evert fifth package to each ISP, you will succeed in breaking up your packet stream. Yet the five partial streams may be collected into one stream (although not ordered in sequence) long before the packets reach their destination. Unless your peer has a similar setup, you may expect the reply packets to come in on a single one of your five ISP connections.
Everything about distributing packets on separate links is perfectly well within TCP/IP standards, and any IP stack will handle it without problems. Yet, that is not how it normally operates today. For reasons of speed and performance, all packets follow the same route.
