  1. What am I missing... on Best Way To Clear Your Name Online? · · Score: 1

    You are posting on a public forum about taking down your online presence from a past transgression. Are you serious?

  2. Two way street... maybe make it a one way... on Rupert Murdoch Says Google Is Stealing His Content · · Score: 1

    Robot.txt file would be one place Rupert could handle them, but maybe Google should just turn off Rupert Murdock's content and then listen to him squeal for unfair practices.

    And for a hard copy file in the case your puter goes tits up and the data is un-recoverable for some reason? Hopefully, you have the file backed up offsite. Fire, Flood, etc... copy in the safe, copy in the deposit box. Never know when you might need to have a sit down with the IRS, heaven forbid...

    I want to see the move, but not if he is attached or he actually learns to act! DON"T KILL COWBOY BEBOP!!!

  7. Re:No warrant == not legitimate. on FBI Seizes Library Computers Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    You expect privacy / anonymity from a public computer in a public library? Really? Do you also have a way to wipe your electronic finger prints from the disk so that you will not be "seen"? Seriously, if you want privacy on a computer, you should use your computer at home or go to websites via an anonymizer. Do not expect public property to maintain your private matters. Example, you write in a book filling in a crossword puzzle and write down a phone number at the library. Pretty safe to say everyone else that grabs that book will then be able to see the phone number and a few may even dial it. Granted not all are savvy computer techies, but expect someone is and don't put your personal information on that computer.

  8. Re:Bending the truth may be light on RIAA's SafeNet Caught In a Lie · · Score: 1

    But it tastes so good with the Kool-Aid. Just remember to have everyone else drink first, or they might now want to.

  9. Re:How can they keep this secret? on FCC Revises Broadband Penetration Metrics · · Score: 1

    Well said and one more important thing to remember is that it is the govt that created and has allowed the public to use the internet for sharing and using the information provided on the internet. It is provided access to it by ISPs and the ISPs are provided generalized information about the number of users that can connect in the 200K+ limits and combining this with the census information. This provides a method of showing the penetration into the area (zip code). What they know about you specifically is nothing. What they know about the zip code is aggregate and is not able to point to you directly. Now tell me how they ripped and forced you to provide this information. Even if you take a census and they ask the question, it is your choice to provide them that information, to answer the door, or to be factual. This is done by choice here. If they hold a gun to your head and tell you that you will die unless they get the actual data, you then are being forced to provide this data. Now tell me where they forced the data from you? Now to step beyond this ripping and forcing, the data is with good purpose for the general public and especially small businesses that are trying to get a leg up. If they notice that their customers are more likely to be utilizing a faster bandwidth, they will then be able to utilize by developing their website to send a certain kind and type of data. The customers are using slower connections? A different type of data is used. Census data is powerful for the small business owner to be able to leverage what the large conglomerate already buy and sell for data and allows mom and pop to compete.
