They would have your ass for lunch. You would not be allowed to present any evidence. Your witnesses would not be allowed to speak. Any effort to prove that you had just stuck your thumb up your ass would be dismissed despite the fact you are literally shoving your thumb up your ass in front of the judge.
I've seen it happen. It's a sad sight. This is not the People's court or Judge Judy. I think some of the weaker judges are afraid to rule in favor of anyone who represents him/herself.

Maybe we shouldn't be pissed that they released the data. Maybe we should be pissed that they collected & stored the data. Once it is housed somewhere it is going to get out. Be it by dolt, scammer, or government intrusion. Does anyone one know of any search engines that do not do this?

"So why are most of us buying expensive digital cameras and using cheap memory cards?" -Article Promo
It's because the camera manufactures don't give you any more guidance on the speed of the memory you are looking for beyound "Buy Ours at 10 times the price!"
It took me half a day of searching to find the right throughput to expect from my camera & how that corresponded to memory card speeds. I was then able to buy a better card at the right price. Heck, not even all memory cards advertise their read/write speeds.
I just saw it expecting something good and found it kind of lame. Sounds like marketing promo to me.
Yes, testing out pilots on YouTube is a great idea. And finding sources on YouTube & it's ilk are a good idea. But using YouTube related press to hype a kind of lame show is not a good idea. Face it. You just aren't going to fool people after they see it.
Acting was a little too canned. Gags were run of the mill expected (a few good ones, but over powered by the extended lameness factor).
We should be doing more work that we feel is truly important to our lives, man kind and the world around us. Seriously. Who wants to be a cog. If our highest level of acheivement is that we just saved somebody a bunch of money on their car insurance, no wonder people would rather slack.
I think you underestimate the primal aggression of women. Not surprising since the concept of the demur woman is ingrained in our culture. True, you will rarely see them attacking men (& you rarely see men attacking women outside of domestic events). But when it's chick on chick they can be pretty ruthless.
OK. If Oxygen makes up 45% of lunar soil by weight^h^h^h^h^h^hmass, then the silicon in the Si02 makes up 40% of the lunar soil by mass. So what makes up the other 15% of the soil?
If above arguments someone said they can only make a small amount of oxygen here on earth from solar rays with a similar mixuture of Lunar soil and that is not enough. Well something to keep in mind is how much hotter the light side of the moon is 253 Fahrenheit (123 Celsius). Making glass from raw silica requires 2,000 C. It 30 C where I am at now. The suns rays (due to lack of filtering are coming in at about 4 times the Earth Strength) -This last line is the sloppy guess work. So the same set up here on earth should produce 4 times that amount on the moon. Plus you get a funky little by-product called glass which can be made to make lenses.
Hands down, across the board school systems have always empowered the bullies. And anyone who is bullied who tries to do something about it gets victimized twice over.
Schools, the press & the public are so concerned over issues like Columbine that they still just don't get it. These poor kids keep on getting abused over & over again. The teachers won't do anything, the principal won't do anything even when you bring it to their attention.
Being at the bottom of the pecking order at school, no one ever told me it was OK to fight back (except for one gym teacher & that was later in my school career when. I was afraid I would get in trouble. Which I would have, but the end result would have been better. Back then I didn't have the perspective that a detention here or there would not have been that big of a deal. It certainly doesn't faze the bullies.
If you are young & in school & being bullied. Here is what I suggest: 1. First stop go ahead & tell a teacher & your parents. 2. If that teacher does nothing, tell another teacher. Keep on telling all the teachers you have until one listens to you. 3. If that fails, tell the principal. 4. If that fails & you go to a religious school tell the pastor, rabbi, priest or whomever is in charge of the congregation. This is essentially going up the chain of command. 5. If you are being physically assaulted in any way off of school grounds & the school does nothing call the cops. The cops might try to blow you off, but insist on filing an assault complaint. Do the same if the assault occurs on school ground and the school refuses do anything about it. 6. Keep a log of the abuse. Who you told about it & what that person did about it if anything. 7. If you have run through all these options, start fighting back against physical abuse. Yes. You will get in trouble. But bullies prefer to go after the ones who don't fight back. You will probably get pummeled. Just make sure you get in a good right hook. Try not to be a spaze. Bullies love to get a reaction out of you. 8. Don't become the bully yourself. Fight back is defense, not offense. 9. Consider some self-defense classes (For defense, don't become the aggressor). Bullies will pass you over for easier targets. 10. Do something about your social awkwardness. Get involved with some clubs. Being social is a skill to learn. Bullies prefer victims who don't have friends. Boy scouts, soccer, gaming clubs, archery, swimming, find a way to interact with more people. You'll get better at it. 11. Keep in mind that you will grow out of this. As people get older, they tend to appreciate other's differences. What made you the bottom of the gene pool in grade school will probably be really cool in college.
But for the most apps this is not a problem. Some apps have issues running out of the "Program Files" directory in user mode. But there are simple ways around that.
I spent $250 on my last computer. $40 per Virus Scanner * 3 system = $120. Of course I need firewall, anti-phishing, etc etc. Looking at those security suites it is $70 a pop. So 3 * $70 = $210.
So for the price of securing my systems I could buy a new PC every 10 months.
The bottom line is that as appliance PC become more popular those little costs will add up fast.
Because identity theft is going to SKYROCKET if this catches on.
Some of this stuff is insane. There are loan requests out there that read like a nigerian 419 scam. But who knows maybe calls to God will give other people better rates.
And I look at all the poor idiots with credit card debt up they are trying to pay off, locking themselves into loans at high interest rates when they would be much better off either calling up their own credit card company & brokering a deal for payment & a reduced rate or even getting into a credit counseling program.
TFA says that this does not require a local client install.
However since they are using encrypted traffic, I suspect their biggest threat would be identification of suspicious or unusual Internet traffic patterns. A Wi-Fi connection to an unsecured router could solve that problem.
The other concern would be government officials checking out the proxy server and determining it's purpose. Since the approach is to send the server information to friends/family, one could set the server to only connect to certain MAC addresses, or add a hidden login feature amidst a misrepresentative website/server. At that point, they have to either catch you running it, or intercept the connection information.
It sends a daily e-mail (if you have any spam) to the client. And the client identifies if any are false positives. Very easy to use. $1.75/month/address if you can't broker a deal on volume pricing. So about $21/person/year + extra addresses.
What's your best option? Depends on how many users you have. But a hosted service might be the right option for you no matter who you go with.
One minior anoyance is that it did flag an address I had previously approved from a mailing list. YMMV. I don't get much spam at my corporate address from the get go, so I don't know how other people with high spam content like this system. But I do know that you don't want a false positive on that million dollar client.
