To want "respect" means that you would like some other unspecified group to have _less_ "respect," at least compared to you.
Maybe it would be better just to do good, professional work that can itself withstand such comparison rather than seek the "I am better than the run-of-the mill-worker" kind of "respect."
Back in the day we called it egoless programming. It means to feel good about the whole team being productive. Groups like this share code, mentor each other constantly, prevent anyone from failing, and are fun to be around. Groups that worship individual "respect" get prima donnas, backstabbing and less overall productivity.
Let your good work speak for itself. If you need more respect, learn something additional about your craft and feel good about it yourself.
It categorically is not about pagerank, since I am not in Google at all. Type in "spywarearcata.com" in a Google search box and see. No results at all. My page rank is exactly zero no matter how many web logs the URL is in.
If the FBI served a court order (subpoena) then not to comply might be considered contumacious conduct warranting, say, up to 18 months in jail. Note that a court would impose this, not the FBI.
If I were you I would not worry about being assassinated since if you flout the law then you will be doing it to yourself.
Even if your attorney says to do what the FBI says, i.e., roll over, at least you will serve as a warning to others of the danger of keeping unnecessary records.
Besides, if you make a prominent warning that you do not keep records, then you will be far less likely to attract a subpoena in the first place.
Also when dealing with any federal official, please remember that even not under oath, you break the law if you misrepresent a material fact to them. Of course this does not apply to them lying to you, which they may do freely.
While it is probably not long off before logs are required to be kept for, say, ten years by order of the Protectorate, it sure is foolhardy for an isp unpopular with the g00ns to keep more than a day or two of logs.
Once you get the subpoena it's too late to revise your retention policy.
Remember in the SF classic "Wasp" by Eric Frank Russell how the authorities could turn off all public automobiles by ceasing broadcasting power to them?
If a Lion battery with enough Kwh to run a car can be recharged in one minute, do the lights in the entire block dim? Or after looking at the photograph, is this for a hybrid slot car?
When I put a bunch of my stuff in the public domain in the mid 1990's I knew well that this was both irrevocable and that--if a person so chose--he or she could used the work in any way they wanted to, including commercially.
I have since seen several product contain my compilations. I see this as a good thing if my goal was (and it was) to make sure the material had a wide a distribution as possible, including free for the small shop just starting out.
Putting things simply into the public domain, especially in the age of the internet where it can be easily found and cheaply retrieved, is still the way I would go.
And if you are looking for a little lexicographic assistance in finding that perfect name, try the following lists of 6,000 female names, 5,000 male names, and 5,000 surnames:
Yes, in principal--just as Google can begin to analyze web page semantics in order to detect keyword spamming--so too the NSA could limit any flood of false hits using these keywords.
In fact about ten years ago a numbered recipient at Ft. George Meade licensed my Moby Part-of-Speech database presumably in order to do exactly that. Also note that my web page containing these keywords are Googlebot-restricted so that they do *not* dilute my favorite search engine.
To me the main point in playing around with this stuff is to remind people that they are being monitored and the need for multiply redundant communication channels, both overt and covert. The administration rightly should fear the free dissemination of ideas, not because terrorists might neutralize us, but because we might decide to neutralize the administration.
And if you want to help the NSAs comint mission to intercept keywords from the Internet, download and use random subsets of the following list frequently in your international communications:
...is to upload the material to a Gmail account, then send the recipient the account name and key. Let Google handle the data compression, backup, system maintenance, etc.
I can envision a future in which an immense shield would have to be co-orbited a few minutes ahead of the shuttle.
The shield wouldn't have to be very thick to dissipate the small momentum-high kinetic energy particles. For a missile of serious mass the shuttle could provide crucial seconds of early warning.
If it were two layer, you could also get an instantaneous estimate of size and velocity.
Fair enough. But then maybe like HavenCo at Sealand--a property claimed by the UK--squatters will turn it into a vastly more powerful data have / forwarding center. Will the US send up space marines to evict them? Not likely! Arrrrh.

I meant User-agent, not referrer.
More specifically, I put the string
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinXP; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 http://www.spywarearcata.com/");
(but not the stuff inclusive of the square brackets which slasdot inserts even in plain old text mode) in the prefs.js file. Voila!
An excellent book. The explanation of about:config and its mods are very useful.
I did the opposite of the Anonymity sub-chapter by putting my home page URL into my referrer string.

pedant who insists that grammar must be prescriptive rather than descriptive. Think different, sir.
I practically run my business from three gigabyte flash drives, with appropriate CD/DVD/GMail backup.
With a lot of DNA samples in vulnerable databases, I guess the most probable outcome will be better demographic targeting of genital enhancement spam.

Heh. I made several hundred dollars selling invites. Now I am waiting with a lot of 6 letter single-word accounts to sell when Google permits it.
How much would you pay for the account dragon@gmail.com?

How would the government be able to tell that a stem cell line began after 2001?
