You're right -- I should have said "heirs," not descendants. I'm really surprised as part of denazification that any property rights of Nazi officials weren't legally stripped.
Takes "copyright Nazis" to a whole new level. Since Goebbel's diaries were associated with his crimes (as others have pointed out), I hope this doesn't get far. There is no reason his descendants should profit from his notoriety.
Can you say "Self-fulfilling prophecy"? I tip on amount of the bill before the coupon for good service -- but if I get shitty service because the waiter thinks I'm not going to tip well, guess what: he's right.
I've noticed the TSA getting lampooned a lot (e.g. "Cat people, dog people" "We all look the same way nude." "Good point") -- and have seen some less than flattering portrayals of Fatherland^W Homeland Security on popular TV. Now this could be all part of a Hollywood conspiracy to let the hoi polloi blow off some steam with comedy, but it could also be a reflection of public opinion tilting against the insidious creeping fascism that threatens to blanket us in the absence of popular resistance.
Duh moment for me -- you meant that the 90 day clock would have run out on the Prime membership charge. That's true. And I assume there's a choice of law in the Amazon terms that means I couldn't sue them in a local court, but I guarantee I would find some way of either getting a pro rata refund or making them wish they had given me one.
I'm acquainted with the limit -- had a problem with eBay/Paypal (pre-merger) some time ago and when it became apparent that PayPal's "dispute resolution" process's primary purpose for being seemed to be for running out the Fair Credit Billing Act clock, I went ahead and disputed with my bank and got the refund due me that way. I would have done the same thing with Amazon.
Do you have a link to this? I'd be interested in seeing what happened. Was it an actual pricing error--not that handling it that way would have been acceptable in any case? Were I to have been so affected, I would have just disputed the charge for the Prime membership as well.
now only if Apple would set up the same service with Mustang Ranch and we can get serviced by using iPhone.
If you paid $500 for a phone and are locked into a $60/month contract with the NSA^W^W AT&T, I'd say you're already being "serviced" without the need of the Mustang Ranch.
But by the time you've booted and made that change, you've already sent out oodles of packets during the boot process. Might want to make those edits in a Faraday cage or something. Better yet, buy a used wireless NIC for cash and use that.
No, "vigilanteism" would be stopping one of the execs in their Benz limo, dragging him out of the car, beating him to death in the street and setting his mutilated body on fire as an example to the others. A phone campaign is a legitimate form of protest, and the right of every American.
While it's obvious you're attempting sarcasm here, it is the sheep that willingly follow who bear the ultimate responsibility for the erosion of all kinds of freedoms--the people who willing submit to searches when leaving retail stores, the lambs who show ID without question to anyone, and, yes, the people who rent (not purchase--purchasing a digital restrictions-encumbered product is impossible by definition) DRM products because it's "fast, convenient, and cheap."

. . . aren't going to be interested in releasing for free old games that might diminish the desire for the purchase of new games (or in the case of arcade/console classics, repurchase of the same games). The effectively perpetual copyrights of these programs have mostly passed to companies with interest in selling current games--the occasional and lauded freeware release of an old game will continue to be rare as hens' teeth.
Based on what I've read about the founder of anonymizer.com, I wouldn't trust them to keep secrets. In any case, such services will become illegal without logging, which would force them offshore or put them out of business entirely.
I assume everything's logged forever. I don't email anything, read anything or search for anything on unanonymized Internet connections that I wouldn't have documented in a report to my boss, the police, or my mom. Which ironically makes me a victim of censorship's chilly hand already.
I was a NAV ET who separated after nine years. What ended up working for me, even though I didn't have a plan, was to finish my degree--I ended up working at the college, and remain there today. I'd echo the sentiments of the other poster and recommend that you do go to school. I hope you're getting the GI Bill, and can at least go part-time.
I also agree that you have an excellent skill set, and if there were a technical position available where I am, you would definitely get an interview. Also, since I didn't end up working for a defense contractor, my clearance wasn't an asset--but given the trend (which the IT press doth protest too much in denying) towards outsourcing, a job requiring a clearance is worth considering. My understanding is that a military clearance doesn't automatically translate into a civilian one, but a SECRET based on an ENTNAC or a TS based on a BI/SBI plus PRP certainly can't make their work any harder--they know you've been in a sensitive position.
Good luck, and know that there definitely is life after the Navy!

I heard Hurd is looking for new users.

I'm sure it was cheaper to pay the contractor to take that fall than to settle in the face of the damning evidence that was on those "lost" tapes.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is to prevent people from simulating the overpriced .mac service with their own box.
