has to pay $100 to the person who dealt with it

1/10th of 1% of annual income or corporate earnings (adjusting for $100K individual).

That's $100 for an individual and about $800,000 for Scripps. I think that's a fair balance - they both have relatively as much to risk.

Do a google search for "Siler mp3"

Here's a link below, but do a search for it, lest you flood this one:

If, and I say if, ever, you ever get on a jury, no matter what, I don't care how guilty the other person appears to be or how good they are at painting the other person to be a criminal, you need to stand up and say not guilty.

Why? Because whatever sentence they give that person is going to be obscene, 5 times what any sane person would give them. Why, because they make $35,000 every year off of everyone they sentence away. So why give someone 5 years and make $200,000 off of them, when you can give them 20 and make $700,000. Let me tell you, 20 years is a death sentence for anybody. You would rather die then spend 5 years in prison, let alone 20. You have no idea what kind of hell on earth they have created. A sensory deprivation hell thunderdome with a constant noise of chattering idiots that would drive any man insane after 2 years...

When I won my appeal (because the police lied and the judge was clearly biased in the trial), and had to post bond again, you know what they said? Never any evidence on me, I had told them over and over again I was innocent, not gotten one single demerit in prison, showed up ever single day for their slave job for me... isolated myself as far as I could from everyone in the prison and kept to myself and not bothered a soul... you know what they said? They said "your honor, we'd like to ask you double his bond, since he's been to prison and is now more of a flight risk?" WHOA! Wait a minute, I had bond before, and I showed up ever single time for every court date, even when I didn't have to, and cooperated with the police fully... like any citizen would...

Hell yes now I would be 100 times more likely to flea. Why. Because I had seen their hell, I now knew who they were, and I had been tortured. Here they were, as far as I was concerned, admitting point blank the system was not about "corrections", but was about punitive torture and profiteering.

They eventually dropped the case on me. Yey for me, right? $60,000 poorer, 720 days of my life gone to some prison hell hole, and a burning desire for justice that grates on me constantly. Like Aeon said in Aeon Flux... "I once had a life... now all I have is a mission".

Since you have worked with cookies 'extensivly' I suggeast you take 2 seconds out of your day and do some research about cookie exploits.
I suggest google.

A user can be exploited, and there information can be taken. Are you thinking a cookie is some sort of magic item that can be used to exploit something?

Here is a case where cookies where used to tell if you had clicked on ads about marijuana. Also the reason for the intial memo to remove cookies becasue the violate policy:

http://shns.scripps.com/shns/story.cfm?pk=COOKIES- 06-20-00&cat=AN

"White House ads offering information on marijuana pop up when Internet users search for certain words connected to drugs on Internet search engines like AltaVista or Lycos. The banner ads steer users to the anti-drug site Freevibe.com, which is operated by the White House drug office. A tracking cookie is inserted in the user's personal computer as the site is activated.

Although Freevibe's privacy notice states that "no information, including your e-mail address, will be sold or distributed to any other organization," the site is connected Doubleclick.com. Officials of Doubleclick, a New York advertising firm that is one of the largest companies gathering data on Internet user use, told the Senate Commerce Committee last week it is developing new products that will profile more than 40 million Internet users."

well I was close. My memory is failing.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/internet/12/29/spy.ag ency.privacy.ap/index.html

relevant quote:
"The government first issued strict rules on cookies in 2000 after disclosures that the White House drug policy office had used the technology to track computer users viewing its online anti-drug advertising. Even a year later, a congressional study found 300 cookies still on the Web sites of 23 agencies."

however it still makes my point on one way a cookie can be used for malice.

http://www.wired.com/news/wireservice/0,69945-0.ht ml?tw=rss.index

shows how cookies can be used to trace you through the web, as it were.

here is an example where your information is tracked and sold.

I won't go into wether or not these particular cases where intended to abuse anyone, but it would be just as easy to use this data for profiling.
Would it be hard to imagine someone thinking "Well, if they are looking for ways to kick a drug habit, then they probable have drugs. Lets go arrest them!"?

oddly, I can't find the story that I heard about it originally.

Oil will last, just maybe not cheap oil. As technology and the price of oil increases, new methods for accessing oil become viable. Seriously, oil shale in Colorado and tar sands in Alberta have more oil in them (some estimate as much as 3 times) than all of Saudi Arabia. The new process for accessing the oil that is mentioned in the link, promises to be financially feasible at current oil prices, and evironmentally friendly.

If oil prices continue to rise though, given time, alternative sources of energy and conservation will be devolped because people will demand them. Just the other day I saw a commercial for cars that's main selling point was the cars' fuel efficiency. Did you ever see fuel efficiency mentioned as anything other than a tertiary benefit in the decade before?

Oil will last, just maybe not cheap oil. As far as alternate energy sources, have you looked at oil? Seriously, oil shale in Colorado and tar sands in Alberta have more oil in them than all of Saudi Arabia.

Actually I don't expect the high oil prices to last very long, since when prices get high there are other options.

Note that even the article is at the end very positive about the econmy, just warning what will happen if oil prices are allowed to get too high. Even then they only say "recession", not how bad... and it's a 25% probability at that.

The probably of moving into a state, I might point out, implies you are not in fact currently in that state (to help out the original poster who seems confused on that point).

The option I noted is more than costworthy now.

You are confused by a temporary reduction in capacity that will be shortly rectified.

None. It's owned by E.W. Scripps. Newspapers, television stations, and cable networks (DIY, Fine Living, Food, HGTV, Shop at Home).

None.

United Media is a Scripps Ventures company, part of the E.W. Scripps empire.

Scripps operates some Newspapers, TV stations, and cable networks, and a well-known spelling bee. They trade under ticker SSP on the NYSE, and no major media companies show up on their major holders list on Yahoo.
