Follow up your pot of coffee with a pice of nicotine gum for that total hair-raising "I would get this code hammered out but I can't sit still long enough" feeling.
Back in the late 90's I was doing some side work in vulnerability testing and a client actually asked me if there was some sort of "program that you use where you can just click a button and hack into somebody's computer".
When I started to explain the actual process of analyzing a network from the outside, he lost interest.
If they had the world's most extensive blog, with hundreds of thousands of words scattered through thousands of posts, and six weeks isn't enough time to evacuate...
Such a person needs to archive their entire website.
There is one such utility that comes to mind. It is called HTTrack and is freely available for a variety of platforms.
From the site:
HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/free software) and easy-to-use offline browser utility.
It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system.
Makes me wonder why they call it Windows anyway. They've got the "brittle and easily broken" part down but the window analogy doesn't work so well without the "transparent" part, which they are definitely missing.
They call it "Windows" because it shows you all the places that it prevents you from reaching.
Under a worst-case interpretation, a cartoon depiction or written description of a crime becomes legally the same as doing the crime itself, and subject to the same penalty as the real thing.
Here in the UK, ISPs have been selling flat-rate "up to 8MB" broadband for some time now, but glossing over the very high contention ratios they've been using (and getting away with so far, because the average user doesn't currently want anything like 8MB/s of data transfer).
Here is the U.S., I want 8 MB/s of data transfer ALL DAY, EVERY DAY!!!! DAMMIT!
The stimulus plan will go the way of the last cash-injection-for-infrastructure... it will disappear down a lot of corporate rabbit holes and the U.S. will still have substandard broadband.
I wonder if we will receive any disclosure as to the recipients, or will it be another "disappearing money" trick like the $700 billion shenanigans.

It rocks my socks.
I calculate that if I pee on the already wet paper bag, the urine
part will be weak enough to kick a hole through and then wriggle out.
Did I win?
I rebuild old machines, install Ubuntu, and give them away to people who need an email-and-web-and-maybe-openoffice machine.
So far this year I have given away two Ubuntu laptops and 1 desktop machine.

I did not rant. I told him no and then explained why.
Funny you should say that.

No idea why.
This raises an interesting question:
How well do our own printouts of bills and account statements hold up in a court of law?
In related news, the walls of truck stop bathrooms are being
used to fund terror through the solicitation of prostitution.

The question is, what is the tangible benifit
Did you mean the TANG-able benefit?

Been using it for years and it works VERY well.
Whatever, Mr Buzzkill.

What does it take to get a Trackman with a damned scroll wheel?
Man, if CableOne would raise my upstream cap from 32k to something toward 100k I would have no complaints.
It sucks trying to restore a decent sized hosting service using Virtualmin after a server upgrade with only 32kps (max, not constant).
Is sucks big time.

Personally I think that they are shooting themselves in the foot just to later discover that they have burnt all their bridges.

This is fucking wrong. People should be able to speak their minds as the please.
