is to seed the web with references flattering to yourself. Extracurricular stuff like all that volunteer work you did for that (made up) charity. Pictures posted on flickr (under a ringer account) of that banquet were you accepted the award for "salesman of the year" (or whatever). Etc., etc., etc.
Medical records are supposed to be protected in the U.S. (cf. HIPAA), and any employer who tried to obtain your medical records illegally would be in pretty big trouble if they got caught.
Court records are another matter. If your psychiatrist made a report to the court concerning your progress in a shoplifting matter, that might be part of public record if the judge didn't have it sealed. But in that case, your criminal record is going to be a much bigger deal than the psychiatrist report.
That's always been my problem with Groklaw. I find the articles educational when you take the bias with a grain of salt, but the comments are just too . . . autistic? They often seem to be in their own little world, and they don't take kindly to any viewpoints that diverge from their own. The slashdot hive mind has nothing on groklaw's.
That said, they are a terrific resource. Just avoid the comments sections.
Was that the laughter of an evil-doer who has gotten a hold of this technology, or was that the laughter of Dick Cheney, who now has a new way of shooting people in the face?
I could even see where in game ads, properly done, would improve the experience. If someone where to make a Bladerunner MMORPG, it would seem utterly naked if there weren't huge electronic billboards.
However, what would be interesting would be top player endorsements. Imagine if you were the "best" (whatever that might mean in the context of the game) in a game, and your play was subsidized by wearing logos or having logos on your vehicle. A Nascar MMORPG?
I second your opinion. I've been buying stuff from OWC for maybe six years, and I've always been happy with both the products and the service. I have two of the "On-the-go" drives (FW 400s), and they've performed as expected and have even saved my ass at least once. I can't speak to USB or FW 800 versions, but the FW 400s use bus power without problem. These are great external drives if you use a laptop, and don't want to carry around a large external and a power brick.
They also have a mac-centric forum called Mac Resource Forum, appropriately enough, where the community is pretty helpful.
I've had the privilege of meeting Larry (the owner), Jamie (the manager) and many of the crew at MWSF, and I've been further privileged to have dinner with them all twice.
One further exceptional thing about OWC: Ryan Rempel, an OWC employee, wrote XPostFacto, which allows OS X to run on older Macs not supported by Apple. XPostFacto is open source, and its creation has been supported by OWC.
You weren't asking, but my advice to you is to keep shacking up with your broad, but don't marry her. =) And you can tell her a slashdotter told you so.

Best. Geek. Stereotype. Joke. Evar.

The googlebomb it until it comes up on top.
Screw the hand wringing. Get creative.
Who said anything about him wanting to get married? This is putting a serious crimp in his ability to get laid!
My advice: Buy a motorcycle with slightly loose engine mounts. The vibrations will make them completely forget about google until it's too late.

You left out religion.
This is why I always apply for jobs using a fake name.
At the first interview, I make up a story about how I'm in the Witness Protection Program.

This is slashdot.
Our time is to valuable to RTFA, but not too valuable to give our opinion about TFA.
p2p?
Surprisingly, the Chinese will go pee pee in your coke when they want to play a joke. I guess a few of the stereotypes are based in reality.
Your use of the word innuendo was both apt and poignant.
You're supposed to start with ginger and work your way up. Dammit, man, you've never heard of foreplay?
Patient: Owwwww! Owwwwwww! God Damn it!!!
Enema Nurse: Too hot?
Patient: No! Too much cilantro!
Netcraft confirms it! BSD has risen from the dead! The Kingdom is at hand! The geeks shall inherit the earth!
You're looking to get shot in the face by our VP, buddy.
Smaller than an X-box controller. No wireless. Lame.
BWAHHHAAAAAAAHHAAAAAAAAHA!

Oh, wait. There's not much difference, is there?
Let's just hope this doesn't fall in to the wrong hands!
What, you don't like to watch insects fucking? I thought everyone liked insect porn.

I'd disagree. Why does Taco need filler. Slow news day?
I think this is a not so subtle attempt to get manufacturers and vendors to send more loot "for review".
But I like OWC an awful lot, so I'll let this one slide.
Unless it's for OWC!

It doesn't count as sex if you're married.

At least now I know why my Aibo has been wearing dark glasses indoors.
Now we fan boys* needn't chirp.
*I prefer the English spelling rather than the French one.
