Now, here's a theory of mine: Some are more corrupt that others, and there's never been an effective way to weed them out. Everyone was corrupt, that much was understood, but how badly was never clear. And it was too dangerous to try and figure it out. Just ask Paul Wellstone. about how much luck he had with that.
Even worse, some of those more-corrupt bastards are in your OWN party. Nominating them to any position puts you in jeopardy, and once again, your plane could end up suddenly taking a nosedive during a "routine" landing.
How to eliminate them without slitting your own throat?
Theory: establish a culture of rigorous honesty and total accountability. Make it clear that anyone selected is going to be examined with a fine-toothed comb. Show the people exactly how you're doing it, and more importantly, demand the same from the average citizens your campaign and administration is using for volunteers.
Now start nominating people you want to eliminate.
You know they're all corrupt? Now you can find out just how bad without slitting your own throat.
Theory: your not-so-bad enemies and just plain neutral associates see the writing on the wall and become very loyal to your policies, lest they "get nominated" and destroyed./Tin Foil Hat
Are you telling me Obama's administration is as corrupt as any other...
Not quite?
If it were, we wouldn't be finding out about this corruption until two years into their term, just like any other democrat. (Republicans don't get exposed until after they leave office, or piss off too many constituents.)
So yes, this IS a very big change from the way things used to be.
Apple will get all their money back, the cards will be strengthened and best of all, greedy stupid people are going to jail over this and removed from our internet!
The military teaches you how to fit 10 pounds of crap in a 5-pound bag. You simply would NOT believe what you can fit into a duffel bag until you see a sailor/airman/marine/soldier unpack it.
For myself, I managed to pack enough clothing for 2 weeks, Christmas gifts for 5 people, snacks and goodies from Hawai'i, Japan and the Middle East, 100 linked rounds of spent.50 cal, and 50 linked rounds of spent 25mm chaingun ammo.
The PirateBay isn't illegal, and the authorities know it. They're just suing in court to distract people and force the PirateBay to waste time and money.
In the meantime, various agencies have been going to the pirate bay and clicking on those torrents. And, just like the owners of the PirateBay have maintained all along, those agencies get routed through the tubes to the purveyors of the indexed content.
So. They click on enough links, put all the listed IP addresses together, figure out which ones show up the MOST, then follow the connections to the source.
The PirateBay is totally legit, but if you take away the material at the end of the "index card", then it won't matter.
This is illegal in some states, including California.
So? Record it anyway. Then, find yourself a proxy somewhere. Using that proxy from a random wifi access point, create a YouTube account, then upload the recording as a video.
Include names of the company and who the boss is.

They're now f$cked. They can't blame you because then they're admitting they did something horribly illegal. Sure, they can try and kill it off YouTube, but there's always Vimeo, Google and a whole HOST of other sites that will be more than happy to hang on to it.
Very pretty, very nice, very private IF you have someone on the other end that you "trust". Gosh! This is just like IRC back in 1994 when you'd go begging for FSP logins to trade, and had to rely on some snot-nosed brat to deign to lower their [33+ selves enough to throw you a bone.
Please. *clicks on enable encrypted torrents only* There. Fixed. Goodnight.
Not just no, but "F$CK NO!" Do NOT listen to the idiots who are telling you, "Anyone who'd believe this isn't worth working for." Screw that. The people you DO want to work for ARE reading Google, MySpace, Facebook and everything else.
You're getting into the "Green" industry, and they're highly connected to the internet, and set to become even more connected. Add to the fact that some of the best employers might require you to go through an SSBI to get a security clearance (DOE), and this could really mess you up.
Should I attempt to set up my own site that would steal the top Google search from this blog posting?
YES! Yes, you want to do everything you can to make sure YOUR name appears at the top of Google. But you can't cheat, and you need to be aware of the "Streisand Effect". If you complain/bitch/fight too loudly, you'll get the reverse effect, and everyone will be flocking to the bad guy's site. That will drive Google's ranking up ahead of yours.
The folks saying "Anyone who'd do this isn't worth working for" don't know what they're talking about.
did the math, and went ahead and paid the $130 fee on line using Mr. Visa on the state's web site...
Dude, you should have disputed the charge by saying the dirtbag stole your credit card! That way, the hold is removed, you keep your money and they go after the guy who "stole" your data.
Don't use your head in stuff like this, use your "meaness gland".
For one, Joe Average Citizen could be informed about their options, then take personal responsibility for their behaviour.
That said, you've got the SmartStrip, which senses when you're not using the equipment and shuts off the main power.
Then you've got the WattStopper, which senses when you're in the room and turns on the power strip. When you're gone from the room, it turns off the strip.
Now, if someone were to combine either of these technologies with say, a UPS, you'd have a truly awesome product! Because I don't know about most folks, but when I pay a few grand for my A/V toys, I like to make sure they've got steady and clean power.
1. Before you lose access to high-speed, log into your email service and disable the "advanced" services and use HTML-based as your default. This is critical, especially for Gmail.
2. While at sea, write all of your emails in notepad. At the top of each file, include the block of email addresses, separated by commas. Save them until you're ready to connect.
3. Use FireFox with NoScript and AdBlock. Carry it with you on a USB key if you have to. Make sure you disable images, but check off "show image place holders"!!!
4. When you sit down to connect, open all of your emails in an individual notepad window so you can copy pasta quickly.
5. Connect, log in, start copying and pasting. You can send a LOT of emails in 2 minutes that way.
Or you can enable POP3/SMTP access on your webmail, then use your own client. Just make sure to configure you webmail account before you leave. Using this sort of solution is best set up with a USB key using PortableApps.

I once received a gift certificate in a Christmas card that was delivered accidentally to my address, and I was able to go ahead and use it.
Well that explains where my sister's gift card to Victoria's Secret went?

I think it's a sign of how weak and sickly our nation has become.
This kind of behaviour is clearly rabid, and most civilized societies put a merciful bullet in the heads of rabid animals.
Whether literally or figuratively, the RIAA needs to be put down.

That's actually not a bad idea.
Well, that depends on which end of the ban-hammer you're at, and whether or not your account is paid for.
I'm sure that M$ will be quite happy to kill a few thousand accounts and laugh all the way to the bank for people violating their TOS.
Yeah, they should, shouldn't they?
Too bad they gave up their guns and can't do anything about it.
But hey? The government will protect them!

Tuskeegee.
Well, you can already share access to your calendar and GoogleDocs, and probably more services I'm unaware of.
I wonder if you'll be able to designate email addresses/people that can access your Gdrive without having to give them your personal password?
If that's the way it's going to work, then the RIAA/MPAA just might crap themselves to death.
Dude, if you've done any reasonable amount of searching for porn on the internet, then staring Cthulhu in the face wouldn't faze you one bit.
A new and amusing use for a mannequin! I bet I could keep that adboard busy until the processor or video card blows up!

Can we at least be happy that the president even knows what YouTube is?

At 15 cents per kWh, that's $26 per year. That's like having to buy a case of beer for your TV every six months.
Or one case per year of good beer.
