  2. Re:New Orleans Bounce on Rewiring (and Unwiring) New Orleans · · Score: 1

    First of all I work for me, not the insurance company.
    Its not my job to save the carrier any money.
    Its my job to pay all monies that are due under the policy.

    I have been an adjuster for 15 years and NOLA is not the worst natural disaster I have seen
    It is the worst man made disaster I have seen.
    The fact that NOLA is not being rebuilt it has to do with the residents of NOLA
    The bitching, moaning, and complaining that no one is helping them, and yet they will not even go
    home and clean up the trash.


    So you may think I have a tainted point of view.
    Yet every other disaster I have been at the people are at least cleaning
    there homes out.
    I think the NOLA residents are just waiting for the government to hire them to clean thier homes out.
    There is also a differance between welfare and entitlement.
    I had one insured, forced insurance by the lender, the house was given to her grandfather since his father was a slave. She was realy pissed and actually called the cops when I explained to her that she did not have enough coverage to pay for all of the damages. Her bigest bitch was that since her home was a slave grant that the insurance company had to pay for all damages.

    Now you tell me why she expected the government to cover her losses becouse the government gave the house her.
    Her home is still full of trash and mud.

    Now I do have respect for those who did go back but not for those who have not yet.

    As an adjuster that was there for 7 months after the storm hit let me give my perspective and my rant. I had one Police Officer tell me when he saw that I was armed, "You know, its nice to know we finally out gun the bastards" NOLA is an entitlement city. Everyone thinks they are entitled to every penny they can get Look at the FEMA money that poured out to the residents (more than in 2004 florida). I had more than one insured tell me that it was my duty and responsibility as a white man to provide for the poor blacks in NOLA all I can say is, Nagin you have your chocolate city back enjoy the poverty, the crime and the 34 murders a month no one wants to move back except the crooks they are just pissed since Lousiana is the only entitlement state All other stated don't care that your great great grandpappy was a slave nor are they going to give you any money for that fact either

  5. Criminal vs Civil on RIAA Wants to Depose Dead Defendant's Children · · Score: 3, Informative

    The key difference between the Ken Lay case and the RIAA case is one is criminal.
    Criminal and Cival cases have the right to appeal, Lay is dead thus he can not appeal.
    However in the RIAA case the estate has the right to apeal.

    RIAA case is civil, and therefore follows the estate.

    Our Laws
    You can not put a crooks kid in jail for the actions of the crook.
    You can make a persons estate pay you for the actions of that person.

    My thought on the RIAA case is that since there was no judgment entered in court the case should be dismissed.

  6. Micro$oft and Control on Windows' Patchguard Hinders Security Vendors · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A few years ago in office 2000 Microsoft dictated what attachments you could receive and what you could not. It sounds like Microsoft is attempting to create a business model of "If you want security you get it from us." and "We know better, you do it our way." Does the phrase duck and cover mean anything to anybody?

  10. Just dropped my letter in the mail on Library Chief Criticized for Requiring Subpoena · · Score: 1

    Dear Sirs;

    It has come to light that Mrs. Reutty, Director Free Public Library of Hasbrouck Heights, NJ., has come under fire for her actions regarding the requirement of a subpoena for access to the Library records. In my opinion Mrs. Reutty should be commended and not criticized for her actions.

    I have been working with a Search and Rescue team for the last five years and know time is of the essence in the rescue of an abducted child, or the capture of a sexual predator. I also understand the frustration that Law Enforcement has when dealing with this type of case. However critical, there is no excuse for anybody to violate the law when it comes to obtaining evidence.

    I would recommend that you congratulate Mrs. Reutty for her actions and not pursue the avenue which you are currently following.
