In the May 30 San Francisco Chronicle, David Lazarus reports the astonishing news that Pacific Gas and Electric is asking a federal bankruptcy court to allow it to give $17.5 million in bonuses to its top management team, including nearly $1 million to PG&E Chairman Robert Glynn (thereby doubling Glynn's current salary). The worry is that if it doesn't fork over the cash, the California utility will have trouble retaining the crack team that ran it into the ground! OK. That's a little unfair. The causes of the current electricity crisis in California are many and complex. No one deserves the sole blame. But it's hard to see how anyone deserves any reward, either. Are you losing sleep over possible management turnover at America's most cash-poor electric utility? Chatterbox's guess is that PG&E's creditors, which include the Bank of New York, the California Power Exchange, Bankers Trust, and assorted other suckers (click here for a list of the top 20), have rather different ideas about how to spend that $17.5 million. Particularly since PG&E already doled out $50 million in bonuses and raises right before its April 6 bankruptcy filing. And it's a cinch that California ratepayers would prefer that any available loose change be applied toward lowering their electricity bills. The PG&E motion requesting the bonuses is an important contribution to the burgeoning field of Chutzpah Studies. Here are some choice excerpts: The Management Retention Program ... provides for payments ranging from 25% to 100% of annual base salary as of the Petition Date (the "Retention Payments") to certain officers and other members of its leadership team if they stay with PG&E over the next several years and continue to contribute to PG&E's successful operation [italics Chatterbox's] and restructuring during these difficult times. The program classifies eligible participants into four "tiers," with participation ranging from 25% to 100% of eligible employees in each tier. ... To place a cap on the cost of this program and to ensure that it is employed as a retention tool only where it is needed, no more than one third [italics Chatterbox's] of the approximately 682 management employees occupying eligible positions in these four tiers (i.e., 226 employees) would be entitled to payments under the Management Retention Program. ... With certain limited exceptions, to receive Retention Payments, Participants must be employed by PG&E at the time of such payments. ...

The VMyths.com website is saying that a big problem with this virus warning/hoax is False Authorities. I got a warning about this hoax from a friend who said that she got the warning from someone who who is very knowledgable about computers (NOT!). The warning my friends got said that she should forward the warning to EVERYBODY in her address book (which was about 50 people). I sent my friend a message back explaining that it was a hoax, and provided a number of links where she could verify that info. I also suggested that she should send another message to every one of her friends apologizing, and explaining that the warning was a hoax. I also said that she should read the riot act to her friend for forwarding a virus warning without checking first to verify that it was for a virus that was in the wild. gK From spamcop-social Sat Jun 2 04:38:56 2001 From: spamcop-social (Frank) Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2001 23:38:56 -0400 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: the Lara Croft question References: <9f69p0$3h6$1@snowmane.julianhaight.com> <3B16D0B4.74797475@hotmail.com> <3B174B97.451E@earthlink.net> Message-ID: <9f9n7b$ud9$1@snowmane.julianhaight.com> : In real life, rather than computer games and fantasies, more than a : mouthful gets wasted.

I guess my time traveling helped me get that stuff out of the way last week, when not one but two drives (primary and backup) crashed at once. I did have backups for everything up to the previous night... But since I'm so darned prolific, I had to resurrect a half-dozen Illustrator files I'd created during the day. I ended up cutting and pasting bits and pieces of files scraped off the disk via Norton Unerase. Thank GOD for Postscript... plain text! It actually worked!!

Add to that fact that some of that waiting time has to be counted as on duty time which detracts from available driving time.

Normally, I believe openness is always the best policy, even with identity theft etc. on the upswing.

I've been very lucky then. Everybody that I've "educated" seems to have learned their lesson (or at least quit sending me any virus warnings -- fake or real). Only once did I take drastic measures: I send a message to everybody in the CC: list explaining that message that they had received was a hoax virus warning and should be ignored.

Ah, well, we've been doing that for ages. As a planetarium technician, I remember doing a show where Rin Tin Tin the Wonder Dog and other scintillating examples of Earth culture were winging their way to the heavens even as we speak. And we won't even mention I Love Lucy. IIRC, some of the earliest examples of high amplitude broadcasting spewed into space were from Nazi Germany (according to Sagan in Contact, the novel). The debate over whether we should respond to a SETI message kind of cracks me up- the genie is out of the bottle, we just have to wait and see what the reaction is. -RSW From spamcop-social Sun Jun 3 23:55:54 2001 From: spamcop-social (Richard S.

The spammer who dreamed up those incredulous lines comes across as either a joker or an imbecile, but it you look at in the broader scheme of things, it's not that far off from mainstream business's aching desire to spam us without our permission. (OK, how do we write possessive plural for business? businesss', businesses', businesses's.) It's the same insincere drivel that goes like this: "We respect your privacy. You are receiving this email because you are a subscriber to receive these announcements. If you are receiving this in error..." It's in the same insincere vein that companies feel free to opt-in victims without their permission. The mainstream electronic marketeer, their cronies, and lobbyists are all-too-ready to scream that permission-based electronic marketeering is too difficult and cumbersome. Poor babies and poor excuses! It couldn't be easier with computers! The electronic marketeer is in a quandary. They know that even if they did attempt to run a permission-based e-marketeering effort, how are they going to reach out to millions and millions of potential customers (aka leads) without their permission beforehand?

With the aid of Harborview security guards, they forced this seditious activity to stop. "You can't pass out free software here," was the phrase a number of LUG members specifically recall hearing from Microsoft staffers and convention center security guards. My NewsForge colleague Tina Gasperson wrote this lighthearted story about the event: http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=01/06/01/1540231 Microsoft was holding an Office XP "rollout" seminar in the convention center, and perhaps they felt that, as paying exhibitors, this gave them the right to stifle free expression (and free software) not only inside the building but in the open air nearby. But the Suncoast Linux Users Group was a legitimate exhibitor at the Computer and Technology Showcase being held on a separate floor of the convention center at the same time. Apparently none of the LUG members thought of saying, "No, we're not going to leave. This is public property, and we have as much right to pass out literature and software here as anyone else, especially since most of us live here and are, therefore, part-owners of this facility." When confronted by uniformed security personnel they left quietly and returnd to their display booth inside, which got far more visitors than the Microsoft booth a few hundred feet away despite having a decidedly amateur, "thrown together" appearance. Meanwhile, Church of Scientology members were handing out fliers on nearby city-owned beaches, as they apparently do every day, unmolested by security guards or police. It's amusing, really, to think that Scientologists are allowed to spread their material and philosophy freely in Clearwater while Linux advocates are not allowed to do the same thing, at least while Microsoft is in town. The Church of Scientology has a history of calling for security and police assistance whenever anyone demonstrates against them, no matter how peacefully, near their Clearwater buildings. Apparently Microsoft marketing people are following in Scientology's footsteps by trying to quash those who publically speak out against their practices. Is it possible that Microsoft has been infiltrated by Scientologists? Could Bill Gates be a secret member? Or has Microsoft developed an internal culture so cultlike that it acts like an obnoxious religious cult without realizing it, not only internally, but in the way it deals with the outside world and any perceived competitors? Scientology did not start out as a religion. It became one to shield its activities from prying eyes, especially those of government. Could this be Microsoft's ultimate defense against antitrust actions and all other government regulations: to become a religion? - Robin 'Roblimo' Miller Editor in Chief, http://osdn.com (publishers of Slashdot, freshmeat, NewsForge, and other fine Web sites) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.

Gray Davis' energy-crisis secrecy, administration officials said Thursday they will soon begin revealing full details of the state's costly, last-minute power purchases aimed at thwarting blackouts. The Davis administration told ANG Newspapers that in the next two weeks it will start disclosing information on the initial, multimillion-dollar purchases it made on the volatile spot market in January. In doing so, the administration will begin honoring Davis' promise to reveal the details after a period of six months or less. The governor said disclosing the information any earlier would compromise efforts to hold down power costs. But there has been a growing chorus of protest of the secrecy from open-government advocates, consumer activists, Republican lawmakers and others. GOP legislators and news agencies have filed separate lawsuits, under the state's Public Records Act, seeking disclosure of details on about $8 billion in emergency, short-term purchases and additional billions on less costly, years-long contracts. A San Diego Superior Court judge is scheduled to issue initial rulings on the lawsuits today in San Diego. On Thursday, the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights called on Californians to phone the governor's office in protest. "The public has a right to know how our money is being spent and who is getting it," said Harvey Rosenfield, the group's director. The governor "won't let us look at them (contracts) to make sure they won't cause further rate hikes in future years," Rosenfield said. "It is also important to know how much power he has negotiated for this summer so we can determine how much it will cost us to stop the blackouts," he said. "We believe the governor is refusing to divulge because the contracts are inflated and contain damaging provisions." Administration officials dismissed critics' assertions and said that full disclosure will eventually come when the data is no longer a sensitive marketing matter. Officials acknowledged for the first time, however, that some of the state's less costly, long-term power contracts with generators contain secrecy clauses that may prevent public disclosure. The administration said state negotiators were so intent on securing less expensive, long-term power supplies that authorities worried little about the clauses requiring them to keep terms of the contracts secret unless they have the suppliers' permission to divulge them. Though violating the agreement could void the contracts, industry representatives said they doubted generators would break existing pacts. Suppliers might, however, sign no more contracts with the state, the representatives said. "Apparently there are some contracts with that (secrecy clause), and our legal people are looking at it," said Davis spokesman Steve Maviglio. "I don't know what the end result is going to be, but it's the governor's intent to release the contracts." While administration officials insisted they are attempting to find a way around the secrecy clauses in long-term contracts, they said disclosure of the initial short-term purchases will soon begin. Maviglio said the administration will start posting the details of short-term, spot-market buys made in mid-January within the next two weeks on the Internet, easing a controversy that has enveloped two of Davis' fellow Democratic statewide elected officials. State Controller Kathleen Connell scrapped plans to reveal the costly state power bills in February during a dramatic, 11th-hour reversal under pressure from the Davis administration. The controller, who has emerged as a sharp critic of the administration's handling of the energy crisis, indefinitely postponed plans to put information from electricity-purchase invoices on the Internet and canceled a news conference to announce the disclosures. In March, Attorney General Bill Lockyer, representing Davis in this instance, provided Connell with a letter of advice that the governor is not legally bound to reveal the details of billions of dollars in state power purchases. Lockyer's letter said the public's interest in maintaining confidentiality in matters relating to negotiations between the state and prospective power contractors far outweighed its interest in disclosure. But Lockyer, a former East Bay politician, said last week he personally favors making public the details of the purchases. "In my mind at least, and as a matter of philosophy, the expenditures are so extraordinary, the issues are so important, that the contracts ... need to be made public," he said at the annual meeting of the National Freedom of Information Coalition. Open-government advocates point to a recent poll conducted for the California First Amendment Coalition that indicates seven out of 10 Californians believe they are getting too little information about how state officials are responding to the power shortage, and a whopping 86 percent want details of long-term power purchasing contracts made public. "Californians reject government secrecy as a matter of law in the state's Open Government Act," said Kent Pollock, the coalition's executive director. "The poll results are an overwhelming repudiation of state policies that shield information from public scrutiny." -------------------------------------------------------------- California Blackout Brigades http://consumerwatchdog.org/citizen/blackout/ From spamcop-social Mon Jun 4 23:16:33 2001 From: spamcop-social (Frog Prince) Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2001 17:16:33 -0500 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: the Lara Croft question References: <9f69p0$3h6$1@snowmane.julianhaight.com> <3B16D0B4.74797475@hotmail.com> <3B174B97.451E@earthlink.net> <9f9n7b$ud9$1@snowmane.julianhaight.com> <9fanal$56o$2@snowmane.julianhaight.com> <3B195566.F76AAF75@hotmail.com> <9fbou6$ca9$1@snowmane.julianhaight.com> <3B1A0099.D45CE06A@hotmail.com> <9fdeip$qeh$1@snowmane.julianhaight.com> <3B1B5939.86B55FF@spamcop.net> Message-ID: <9fh1uh$k5f$2@snowmane.julianhaight.com> > > > > > > Easier to use buckets. :-) > > > > > ***I'm getting the idea that there are some pretty freaky women in your neck > > of the woods.... > > > I was gonna stay out of this one, but I'm going to offer three > words: "gotta be proportional."

A common misconception. There are many ways of safely disposing of nuclear waste. Many people confuse the absence of final disposition with the inability to dispose of the waste. We don't "finally" dispose of nuclear waste simply because we don't have to dispose of it - yet. The longer the final decision is delayed, the more options we'll have. Instead of sealing the stuff in molten glass and injecting the ingots into the deepest Pacific trench or into the middle of a salt dome today, why not wait as long as possible?

Often the adverts grope at the perception that their products are good and decent...when they aren't. But an issue at hand is how does a business quickly and effeciently promote their products and services? TV advertising is way too expensive for many businesses. Popular magazines can be quite expensive. Postal mail campaigns are certainly expensive. But look at the lure of spam marketeering! For a single-digit fraction of the cost of other advertising media, a business can reach millions of leads via email. Of course there are other costs of spam marketeering that spammers couldn't give a rat's ass about **as long as someone else pays for it**. Cuspid Spam marketeering is _very_ cost efficient.

All the while, creating more and more hazardous waste on the assumption that some day soon... some time before there's too much radioactive waste for use to physically handle, sometime before there's a major accident of some sort, we *may*... me *might*... there's a *possibility* that we'll find some magic bullet for disposal. Sorry... Containment technology still isn't sufficient, and building more nuclear power plants -- creating more waste -- based on some wish is just not a responsible way to manage the problem. > As far as volume, the bigger problem is from MEDICAL nuclear waste - > not power plant waste. We don't really want to stop nuclear medicine, > do we? Ah, yes, the old all-or-nothing argument. Always effective. There's a huge difference between the two. 1) bath water 2) baby The technology is simply too immature to be allowed to proliferate in its current state. It's not like we're testing a new airplane design, risking a single test pilot. We're talking about playing around with quantities of materials that can injure or kill a heck of a lot of people with only a few slip-ups. Instead of throwing lots of money back into nuclear power, a short-term and dangerous fix, we need to start figuring out efficient ways to take advantage of renewable energy sources... many of which are virtually benign to harness. We can generally protect ourselves from a sunburn with clothing and a little sunscreen-- not so with . And old Sol isn't scheduled to melt down for another 50 billion years or so. I'd call that a long-term source of energy. The most common misconception is that everything's going to be just fine as long as we leave it up to the nice power companies to take care of us. Hey, they know what they're doing-- they're professionals, and they only have our interests and safety at heart, right? Tell that to the victims of Chernobyl. -- ...Bob W.

The waste is actually part of the glassine stucture, IIRC, so there's nothing to leak. It's not like a glass bottle holding waste, which is what I think you're thinking.

It's about time they lost their monopoly! What a lousy deal the British public are getting! I know my bro in law had a souped up service installed a couple of years ago where they came and installed a second phone line and you connect to the net at about 125k or something but you still have to dial up, it's not 'always on'. However you could leave it connected for hours and not pay per minute for the calls. > > another one of the providers that was (re)selling ADSL dropped out today... > http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,s2088257,00.html My God, Freeserve are charging a lot for it arent't they?! Cripes, I pay $40 for 760/120 all inclusive. This is particularly funny: "Now it has withdrawn from the consumer market it will send out more warning signals to a government determined to see the UK as the best broadband nation by 2005 that there is a fatal problem with existing rollout. " Why set an impossible goal? They did next to nothing to popularise the internet itself and now they want the UK to be the best broadband nation in the world? How ridiculous.

Must be fun. :-) Lets not forget about the big message sent from Aricebo back in the late 70s. (Only problem is that they beamed it towards a gobular cluster that doesn't appear to be home to many organic elements.) That is some food for thought.. If we do respond to a SETI message, what are the chances it could lead to an invasion?

The earth receives 745 watts of energy per square meter. At noon. On the equator. With no clouds. To supply just California's energy requirements would require 1200 square miles of solar collectors (at the equator, at noon, with no clouds). That is roughly the size of the Los Angeles basin. Multiply by two (plus the power storage requirements) to handle the demand at night, and a fudge-factor of, oh, one-third to account for latitude. We can ignore clouds in California. We would have to cover Los Angeles and the San Francisco peninsula with collectors. (Come to think on it, maybe not such a bad idea.) The 745 watt constant above can be increased by moving the earth's orbit closer to the sun. You cannot run this country - not even a small house - on sunbeams. There has never been a demonstrable fatality from nuclear power plants in the U.S. (or any other technologically advanced society). With every other form of large-scale energy production the body-count grows almost daily (coal, oil, gas, and hydroelectric). If we are willing to accept the cost to society -admittedly with much fussing - of, say, a coal-fired power plant (black-lung, transportation accidents, acid rain, particulates, god-knows-what emission from the smoke-stack) and these costs are demonstrably less with nuclear, then why not use nuclear power?

There are over 2000 mapped salt domes in and around just the Gulf of Mexico. There are no gasses, water, or cracks in a salt dome.

It may not be a bigger problem in total, but the MASS of material is HUGE compared to a nuclear power plant. Each patient subjected to nuclear medicine, that's treatment or diagnosis, generates about thirty pounds of low-level waste. This waste consists of bandages, instruments, tools, containers, (sometimes) body parts, waste, or fluids (like blood), bed linens, clothing, and all kinds of disposable stuff like gloves, smocks, etc., plus the raw material used to create the nucleonic medicine. The nuclear medicine department of a fair-sized hospital generates - in tonnage and volume - more nuclear waste per year than a power plant. Medical nuclear waste is way, way less radioactive than plutonium - in both emissions and half-life - but the medical waste must still be dealt with in some acceptable and safe fashion.

Well, I thought we were OK until I read an article in Bloomberg's magazine. The top states in which to live based on their tax load are: 1. Wyoming (sort of a surprise, but upon reflection it makes sense). 2. Nevada (of course) 3. (Wait for it now....) Tennessee (you could knock me over with a feather!) Texas was number 11.

Jerry, I said "virtually benign", because I know the style of argument you like to make -- everything in absolutes. Yes, all methods of power generation have repercussions. There is no denyng the laws of thermodynamics, entropy, etc. Physical systems, blah, blah, blah. What we're talking about here is doing the *least* harm (especially to middle-aged klutzes, who should allow a professional to install their virtually environmentally-benign solar system.

Tell that to all of those households who are now completely off the grid. The sun is the most significant, stable source of renewable energy within our grasp; it is the remnant of the original energy system from which the Earth was formed: the Big Bang. > The earth receives 745 watts of energy per square meter.

Wrong. It's being done right now, in this country, in a small number of homes. And the number is growing. As conversion and storage efficiencies improve, those numbers will improve dramatically. When the economies of scale come into play and the private sector sees a profit in things like solar or even fuel cells, those numbers will increase at an even more dramatic rate. > There has never been a demonstrable fatality from nuclear power plants > in the U.S. (or any other technologically advanced society).

You wanna talk ignorance? *snort* The ignorant live deep within the coccoon of hubris that they have spun around themselves. The hubris that whispers "It's okay to keep on doing what we're doing right now. Ignore the supposed dangers that those radical fearmongers whine about. We are gods of technology, masters of the physical world. Nothing can possibly go wrong." And that hubris is bred of -- guess what? -- fear. The selfish fears that there might be little belt-tightening, that there might be some short-term discomfort, that some other company might make more money than yours during the current quarter if you alter your business plan a little. And the fear of the unknown -- the fear of diverting a few degrees from the comfortable, entrenched status-quo rather than having the vision to act in the interest of generations to come.

Matters not a whit. The incident proved that ineptitude combined with a nuclear reactor can kill thousands-- even tens of thousands or millions of people. In this country, it's been shown that operator error, and construction and maintenance screwups can create almost as many if not more possible dangerous scenarios here as in Russia. Many, many bullets have been dodged already. Sooner or later, if we keep providing the ammunition, there's gonna be one with a few million names on it. -- ...Bob W.

Oh, boy... The old "Hey! We're smarter than they are!(TM)". Yes, I know the types of reactors are very different. And yes, I know the Russians were/are screwups. But to turn it around and say that proves that all power plants in the US are perfectly *safe* and that there will never be operator error and that there are no materials, containment vessels, cooling systems etc. that will ever fail (even in redundancy), is like saying that there will never be a traffic accident in the US because the traffic lights here are different from those used in Bangladesh. There's just no logical connection. >From what I have learned over the years, it's my opinion that the current containment technologies (available on this planet, at least) just aren't foolproof. The problem is in the degree of difference in potential damage inherent in nuclear as opposed to other types of power. > If > you do, you do not understand what happened at Chernobyl. I understand rather well what happened at Chernobyl, thanks. I may be no nuclear engineer, but I'm considered to be fairly clever, and I love watching every single documentary I can about Chernobyl, and reading anything I come across about nuclear technologies-- both pro and con. Believe me, if I thought current containment technologies -- both generation and waste-storage -- were fully mature, foolproof and hermetically redundant, I'd be the first guy to call for the building of more nuclear plants. The fact is that I was once very pro-nuclear. Hell, I used to be an outright *fan* of the concept, all the way back into gradeschool, and for many years thence. But I also like to challenge my assumptions, and keep myself informed. And because of that, I have changed my opinion over the years. Like I say, when and if the technology appears to me to be safe, heck, I might even invest a few dollars in a nuclear power company. > That particular > design plant is not in the US, and the rules of usage are very different. > Frank <- spent 35 years in the nuclear industry as RO/SRO/Nuclear Shift > Supervisor Glad to hear it!

Several of us were hired to convert an old college educational type facility into a modern (at the time) planetarium, so we not only ran the shows, we had to string a lot of cable and somehow get everything to synch with control panel, etc. All sorts of headaches to worry about like cross talk between control cables and audio cables, projectors slipping out of alignment, electrical fires, etc., but I wish I could get paid now for the job I had then- it was perfect.

If we do respond to a SETI message, what are the > chances it could lead to an invasion? Two thoughts on that one. One popular camp says that it simply too far for even the most paranoid or aggressive culture to worry about- it would take vast resources to attempt to cross the distance, let alone invade. Fighting for real estate is likely not an option. On the other hand, I seem to remember seeing speculation somewhere that any civilization capable of focusing the monumental resources needed to project a clear and intelligible interstellar signal, would almost have to be authoritarian/agressive in nature to pull together the resources to project it. Chances are, they will have been that way for a long time before we manage to pick up their signal, implying dynastic authority. Any ideas existing outside that authority would be seen as a threat. I am betting the second scenario is far-fetched. When you look at all the species on Earth that seem to be evolving towards intelligence, there is aggression, of course, but overall, short-sightedness and extremism do not seem to be favored by evolution. Evolution likes trade-offs, and I'm betting that would happen with intelligence, as it would with any other physical characteristic. -RSW From spamcop-social Wed Jun 6 17:24:13 2001 From: spamcop-social (Sylvesterthekat) Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2001 09:24:13 -0700 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: Another one bites the dust.....!

In fact he basically works off it most of the time since he says it's faster than the regular hard drive! He had to buy two cards, one for each computer but it's very handy and small, like a large calculator. I had some stuff on X Drive and they were kind enough to not even bother informing me that the service was being withdrawn so all my stuff was lost, which they informed me of AFTER the fact! Then they wanted me to sign up for their PAY service. I sent a reply, laughing in their faces at the very notion.

I think the thing that takes up the most space on our drive is music files (about a 70meg per song or something like?). Hubby copies a CD then burns it to another one or takes it to work and then doesn't delete it from the computer ("It's more convenient if I can just listen to it from the hard drive"). Drives me nuts. We also have a lot of mpeg files I guess. I think this HDD is 40 gig and it's almost full.

Can't exactly throw it in some one's pocketbook to > carry around...... Once you have a good digital camera, you'll never go back to film again, honestly. I have a moderately good Sony (2.1 megapixel) that can take fantastic TIFF images with enormous resolution or 640x480 (that are good enough for websites) and everything in between. Not having to get the pictures developed (I've already probably saved what the camera cost), being able to take literally hundreds of pictures on one memory stick and knowing immediately if you got the shot or not are so wonderful. That and it takes little movies which are very cool. The images are much better than regular photos that have been scanned too so for websites it's perfect. It's small, the battery lasts for hours, it has 6x zoom. It's not often I feel limited by it compared with my SLR with a big zoom on it.

How ridiculous. indeed... they're supposed to be getting the government online as well... however, the people that are supposed to be doing it aren't making much progress... they point out that it needs existing structures and systems to change, which isn't happening, so they're just trying to bolt-on web page front ends to old systems, and provide information based on existing paper publications... a working group came up with a bunch of standards for web accessibility and stuff, and then the government's own sites have completely ignored them... the first service (tax filing) to be available through the internet requires (obviously) security certificates to prove your identity... but only certificates from a couple of providers are supported, and those providers only have support for IE5, thus cutting off users of any other browser... all a bit of a shambles really... that's governments for you... michael From spamcop-social Thu Jun 7 00:30:00 2001 From: spamcop-social (Bob W.)

The problem with many posts in this thread is that people keep speaking in terms of absolutes. It's incorrect to say that all plants are unsafe, just as it is to say that all plants are safe. My point is that every time someone mentions Chernobyl, someone else has to pop up and say how very different that was, etc., and then those who are reading who have little other info can very possibly be led (intentionally or not) to believe that "It Can't Happen Here" -- and they go back to their cornflakes without further examining the issues.

I really liked it, the first book, anyway! OK, you caught me trying to argue two things at the same time. I was arguing that an invasion scenario after responding to a signal would be unlikely, and ended up saying an advanced paranoid civilization was unlikely. Let's dissect it into the two issues: 1) Invasion after responding to a signal likely? To take a step back for a minute, you would have to ask how likely a paranoid advanced dynastic civilization would be to send out a signal, trolling for customers to nail. More likely, if their intent is hostile, they would be actively seeking out threats, and when they find signs of other civilization, simply send something there to "take care of it", probably without warning. And, as Greg Bear pointed out in The Forge of God and Anvil of the Stars, those kind of ill manners would ultimately lead to some pretty bad karma for any advanced civilization trying it. 2) Do advanced paranoid agressive civilizations interested in wiping everyone else out etc. occur? First, I didn't say impossible, just far fetched. Maybe low probability is a better way to say it. Second, The feudal dynasties in Frank H.'s books all revolved around a pretty far-fetched notion, that being a spice that could not be reproduced by technology, could only be found in one place, yet was absolutely vital for space travel. (BTW, how did humans get to Arakis in the first place?) Further, the supply is then captured by a superbeing. He was pretty clear about that- He who controls the spice... It's possible that any sufficiently advanced technology could be used to leverage absolute power as melange was in Dune, but is it likely? Look at our own civilization.

Mmmm.... Von Neumann devices. Autonomous mechanical critters that eat planets and use the raw materials to reproduce. Deliciously diabolical... MWAH-hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaah! *ahem* Sorry. Actually, I'm developing my own Anti-von Neumann Devices(TM)s... They'll eat von Neumanns and use their raw materials to make more of themselves.

Uhhhh... Yeah... I think so. Well-- maybe. Oh, I dunno. Fergit I mentioned it. Then again, I prefer to refer to Firewire as "warm swappable." I've seen an entire office full of Macs and HDs get their Firewire controllers contagiously fried, one after another, after one drive was apparently disconnected from a computer during a read/write. It's something that Apple doesn't really want to talk about. As a matter of fact, I think my Sony VX1000's and/or my G3's Firewire controller(s) is/are now dead because of this same thing. They just *don't* warn you loudly enough, but instead repeatedly call it "hot swappable." But when you're dealing with a camera that's just feeding live video (no recording, no playack, etc.), what constitutes a read/write? The presence of power? Apple ain't talkin'. Maybe I'll take my camera in to the new Apple store in Glendale and connect it to one of their Macs to see if I get a video signal there. If I don't... Maybe I will have fried *their* machine, too. -- ...Bob W. From spamcop-social Thu Jun 7 07:48:42 2001 From: spamcop-social (Richard S.

Those are the standard older style DIMMs. At least the part about being 66MHz SDRAM DIMMs. I have a system that's about 4 years old that uses them.

Actually, you can get them printed at ofoto.com for a very reasonable price. And only the ones you really want so there's no waste. If your pictures are taken in hi res mode they're very good approximations of a film print. I got some done from my 640x480s and they were a little bit 'jaggy' - you could tell they weren't regular photos but one of them was taken in a much higher resolution and it came out really great. You just upload your pictures to ofoto and then select the ones to be printed. I think they also allow you to crop and zoom though I didn't try that. Mine arrived within about 2 days.

Mostly for Unix (Sun) servers, though. I have a couple of 4.1 Gig Seagate Hawks (?) I bought online a few years ago. Unfortunately they require a special adapter to connect to a standard UW SCSI cable. I have them in a Linux box. Dunno how to set them up as hot-swappable, although I suppose you'd need a raid controller and a special case. ~herb From spamcop-social Thu Jun 7 16:52:49 2001 From: spamcop-social (Sylvesterthekat) Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2001 08:52:49 -0700 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: Spammers attack SETI@home, steal addresses References: <3B167663.8D3FEDD4@spamcop.net> <9f5u8u$aa$1@snowmane.julianhaight.com> <3B16D053.8B90BD96@hotmail.com> <3B16EDB1.C3F824B7@spamcop.net> <3B195373.8B77A60F@hotmail.com> <3B19685E.11638FD8@spamcop.net> <3B19FF09.FC0E9CD8@hotmail.com> <3B1ABF51.1697F5BA@spamcop.net> <3B1D6D54.A49AD36F@hotmail.com> <3B1E56DD.7A03DBDA@spamcop.net> <9flmhq$op0$1@snowmane.julianhaight.com> <3B1F0494.F189212B@spamcop.net> Message-ID: <9fo83k$ej8$1@snowmane.julianhaight.com> "Dr. Winder" wrote in message news:3B1F0494.F189212B@spamcop.net... > Hey, Dune is a masterpiece!

Losing their monopoly for phones or just the internet? I'm not sure what the law here is exactly but I *think* the telcos in each area are obliged by law to share their equipment with others so no new exchanges have to be built by competitors.

Well it was sort of ISDN but not exactly (you could use the second phone line like a regular line). Are you saying that he's not getting 128k any more? I don't think he's used it since last Christmas as he's in NY at the moment. The main reason he signed up for it was that he was day trading online and it was costing a fortune in per minute calls so this was a better option. > freeserve just upped their price, because they weren't making any money... > iirc, the wholesale service from BT costs about £30 ($42) to them... they've > still got to cover the costs of the admin and email/news/web services, and > there wasn't enough take up to make it viable...

Yeah, I've noticed that too. I remember once when I was a teenager I think I went to a pop concert or something and took a photo where the object of my desire was at the edge of the shot because I'd just held the camera up and pressed the shutter. The bastards cropped him out! I think it was Rod Stewart if you're curious LOL. > > So how much does ofot cost? I use....damn, whose that cheap mailorder > place.....I forget, but it's only $4 per roll, free double prints or 4 x 6 > size. They print regular film for 2.95 per roll but the first two rolls are free. I'm not sure if they just post them online after that or send you prints... Ah, seems they just develop it and then put them online and return your negatives to you: http://www.ofoto.com/HelpFilm.jsp?UV=275255688374_54237814103&US=0 Well for digital photo printing it's .49 per print for a 4x6. They give you 15 free prints when you join up so it hardly cost me anything. You can also leave your photos on there and share them with friends and family instead of having a web page. They can then order prints themselves if they want. http://www.ofoto.com/TourFilm.jsp?UV=275255688374_54237814103&US=0&c=h2_hom_ tour_vis I was always too impatient to use mail order photo developing and would go to SavOn or Best Buy or whatever (generally about $8-12 a pop). But those bastards sometimes charge you full price for the one hour service even if they can't give you them within that time. Like at busy holiday times, it will be 'next day' for the one hour service! I think that's just plain wrong but if you then say you want the 'next day' service that of course is going to take several days. So I was glad to not have to endure all that any more. Then there was the time my photos went missing... ARGH! So ofoto ain't cheap if you want a lot of photos printed but if you only want a few done then it's pretty economical and certainly more so than buying film and getting it all developed to find a lot of duds!

It's the sunday edition of it, yes. There are (or were) three newspapers in England with 'page 3' gals. I don't know if the Mirror still does it but the Sun and NOTW do. It's basically a comic for the reader with subnormal intelligence. There's not much real news in it and what there is takes up no more than a paragraph or two. No difficult words (one syllable is common) or concepts and lots of gossip and garbage. Famous page three girls of the past include Linda Lusardi and Samantha Fox.

Plus we had to load the film from 100 ft rolls into the camera cartridges first -- all in pitch black darkness, of course. At least it was all free back then!

Not bad.\ ***I take mine to the grocery store who has Konica service, next day as long as you get them there before pickup in the morning. It was 10.98 for a roll of 36, 4x6, double prints are free, and on a floppy as well. I have everything put on a floppy now, the best of both worlds, nice prints, and if the need touching up or cropping I can do that on the 'puter and reprint them at home. Konica for the most part does a great job, except for that one time when I got some outstanding rainbow photos (you know how hard that is) and they apparently dropped the negs on the floor and ground them aroud with their heels - big scratches and blank spots on the negatives - no explanation, no apologies, I made them re-do the roll three times and then gave up. Lately though, no problems. > I beg your pardon?!

She was right. One of my second aunts (once removed? I dunno...) is a professional photographer. She needed 12 photographs for a magazine article. She took 300 *ROLLS* of film just to get the 12 pictures. -- Pete Stephenson "There again I'm sure that USS Loopback would be a seriously-unpopular posting during live-fire exercises."

I use them to develop regular film. They're fairly fast (just a few day turnaround), the quality is excellent, and they're stored online too, which makes it nice for re-orders. -- Pete Stephenson "There again I'm sure that USS Loopback would be a seriously-unpopular posting during live-fire exercises."

I connect/disconnect my USB KritterCam when its feeding vide, and nothing bad happens. Well, when I hook it back up, no video is forthcoming until I quit and re-open the video software, but that not a limitation of USB or the camera. I supposed FireWire is similar. > Maybe I'll take my camera in to the new Apple store in Glendale and > connect it to one of their Macs to see if I get a video signal there. If > I don't... Maybe I will have fried *their* machine, too. Heh. I'm just amazed at how blazing fast FireWire is (400Mbps, IIRC), and it's traveling over these itty-bitty wires.

Yes, well, you and I may very well say "Well, duh!" ...but when a company says something is "hot swappable" that doesn't really explain the details to the average user. It's not really surprising that regular people don't understand things like "stray voltages" and such. Tell an average user that something is "hot swappable" and the possibility of physical damage would probably never enter their mind. They'd probably think they might just keep their files from being completely copied or something. > Hmm. I connect/disconnect my USB KritterCam when its feeding vide, and > nothing bad happens.

I think different USB drivers seem to offer different levels of bus-listening; some will react immediately. I have no idea how responsive FireWire drivers are (then again, I don't even know if different third parties have to write their own -- unlike USB -- or if they can just use the drivers that come with the OS...) > > Maybe I'll take my camera in to the new Apple store in Glendale and > > connect it to one of their Macs to see if I get a video signal there. > > If > > I don't...

He sits down next to her, and asks her: "Can we have sex?" "No," she replies, "I'm married to God." She stands up, and gets off at the next stop. The bus driver, who overheard, turns to the hippie and says: "I can tell you how to get to have sex with her!" "Yeah?", says the hippie. "Yeah!", say the bus driver. "She goes to the cemetery every Tuesday night at midnight to pray. So all you have to do is dress up in a robe with a hood, put some of that luminous powder stuff in your beard, and pop up in the cemetery claiming to be God." The hippie decides to give it a try, and arrives in the cemetery dressed as suggested on the next Tuesday night. "I am God," he declares to the nun, keeping the hood low about his face."Have sex with me." The nun agrees without question, but begs him to restrict himself to anal sex, as she is desperate not to lose her virginity. 'God' agrees, and promptly has his wicked way with her. As he finishes, he jumps up and throws back his hood with a flourish. "Ha-ha," he cries. "I am the hippie!" "Ha-ha," cries the nun.

I don't read alt. -groups except for alt.spam, where I don't use my real address. Oh, I do write to rec.games.rogue-like.nethack, and most of the spam I get have harvested that group, because I get spam usually only after writing into that group. But sfnet (Finnish groups) hasn't such a big problem with spamming. I have been spammed once by a Finnish company, so I called them and told that I will have them sewed if they continue spamming, based on the Telemarketing Act, which excplicitely says that any use of automated system in direct marketing is illegal.

(If they discover nuclear weaponry, then they are toast.) However, you are correct, that there will always be some agression with developing societies. It is part of the cycle of survival.

I think it was a customized Model 2. You are correct, btw, the actual term used for these projectors in the biz is (or was) the "monster" Heavy duty is right- a lot of volts in a monster, driving a fairly high freq. oscillation just to coax enough brightness out of it to make the pinholes produce "stars." But that wasn't the half of it. To do a proper multimedia show, we had to produce panoramas around the dome. That was done with good old Kodak slide projectors, and slides masked in all the right places with opaque paint. The projectors were behind the dome, with the dome holes enlarged so that an image could be projected through. When all the projectors were properly aligned, you could simulate a skyline through 270 degrees. Then there was the back shelf, where the real fun began, more banks of Kodaks for cross-fade sequences, an orrery projector (the Zeiss had one, but that was for envisioning planets moving across the sky; this one showed them going around the sun, etc.), a Kodak souped up with some incredible German zoom optics (took a starship from a dot up to half the size of the dome), banks of servo-activated mirrors for wherever we needed them, all built from scratch and controlled with early motorola chips in a primitive gang system (this was back in the dark days before the TRS-80! I'm dating myself, I know), and a few other specialized projectors for projecting comets and the like. Double quad audio, with the shows all canned, on tape. Controls for all these projectors, servos, etc. had to be designed from scratch. I suppose it can all be automated now, but on some of the real tech heavy shows, I sometimes felt like Lt. Sulu trying remember which button to press. One time, I remember we had so much equipment rigged on the back shelf, we had a hard time keeping track of things, and left some paper over one of the quartz halogen dome lights. A fire ensued, and one of the techs rushed to put it out with an extinguisher. Unfortunately, every time he pulled the trigger, he leaped about 3 feet in the air from the electrical shock. Static discharge with extinguishers can be pretty intense without anything electrical around- but that was not the case here. There was *plenty* of electrical equipment around! It was quite a sight, but luckily it did not happen during an actual show. We put the fire out before any serious damage was done. > Now I'm wondering if I could get a part-time position at the local planetarium. :-) Why not?

Did you see that they have spotted protoplanetary discs (maybe) around brown dwarfs? If confirmed, that makes the problem even simpler, since there may even be brown dwarfs within 1 ly of Earth.

It would be interesting to speculate on the converse- what is the ultimate fate of civilizations without "enough" aggression, if there is such a thing? Aside from the obvious risks in facing other aggressive creatures or civilizations, what about the internal risks? Having a high "boiling point" and little prior experience with large scale war, the costs of war might not be fully appreciated until some point after weapons of mass destruction were available, and then if the boiling point is reached for a global conflict, it might be too late... -RSW From spamcop-social Sun Jun 10 02:57:27 2001 From: spamcop-social (Richard S.

I've enjoyed the Galactic Center trilogy he wrote. Benford is a physicist, so good science (along with the SF stuff) it is. And the characters are quite complex.

(Space travel to the galactic center, time dilation, pockets of space-time, quantum wormholes, wierd array of alien beings particularly one made of natural magnetic fields. It goes on.) Currently, the Galactice Center books is in this order: "In the Ocean of Night" -- out of print. hard to get. (Expensive, been trying for months to get a decent priced copy.) "Across the Sea of Suns" -- should be easy to get "Great Sky River" -- still available "Tides of Light" -- still available. "Furious Gulf" -- Unsure, trying to get this one too.

The semi-retired wife got a job starting tomorrow, 12 hours / day, 7 days/wk for two weeks, at $22/hr plus time-and-a-half for all over 40 hours. Doing insurance work. We expect big sales on the stuff trapped in trailers that floated down the freeway. We probably won't bid on the paper, Pampers, cigarettes, rice, pigs knuckles, etc. But we expect big bargains on label-less canned mystery food. The one story that's really bizarre is about the poor lady spending the night in her skyscraper office downtown because of the water-covered roads. At about 5:00 am the security guards told all the people in the building to move their cars because water was entering the underground garage. She got in the elevator to go to sub-level 5, but by then sub-level 4 was already under water and sub-level 3 was in doubt. The elevator took her to sub-level 4 and stopped. They found her - drowned - the next morning. She worked for a law firm.

Bob, where *do* you find these women? Oh wait, > Hollywierd...never mind... :-) Further explanation is in order. Heidi is correct about the measurement 'around the body.' The measurement is taken above the breasts. But here is where it gets exciting: Another measurement is taken around the breasts. The difference between this measure and the former one is the cup size, biased by two inches and 'C'. For example, assume 36'' 'chest' size. A 38'' 'breast' size yields a "C" cup. A 37'' 'breast' size yields a 'B' cup. a 36'' 'breast' size yields an 'A' cup. Going the other way, 39'' = 'D' cup, 40'' = 'DD' cup, 41 = 'DDD' etc. I know about this. I made a study of bras after losing the tip of one finger in high school to a maladjusted brassiere latch. Did you know, for example, that brassieres were invented in France by the simple expedient of removing the bottom half of a corset (and fiendishly designing a brassiere latch - goddamn French)? Reminds me of one of my favorite opening lines to a novel: "Ripping the third bodice from Belinda's hot, palpitating body, Lord Trewithit realized that he had also removed four camisoles, six petticoats, two corsets, and five pair of pantaloons so far, with what seemed a lot of linen ahead, and, with a cry of passion he demanded: "Good God, woman, are you nothing but skivvies?"

I mostly agree with that, but there are sometimes advantages. Like when you have to open a window of a certain size for, say, a Flash presentation, or a tiny window in which to play a movie or sound. Some sites also like to protect their intellectual property by making it more difficult to download and save something liek a QuickTime movie, so they use JavaScript to remove the Location field. But, on the whole, those needs for me are extremely rare, and I stay as far from JavaScript as I possibly can. -- ...Bob W. From spamcop-social Mon Jun 11 08:20:59 2001 From: spamcop-social (Bob W.)

People were complaining that they weren't getting helped; when we investigated, we found that they weren't seeing the prominent CLOSED banner on the main page of the Forum. So we went to an after-hours-only popup that says "This Forum is closed. Go _here_ for other help when it's not open" and the complaints dropped 90%. Why the other 10% are missing even that in-your-face notice is beyond me...

This was in the center of a round classroom building, designed to contain the dome. So the ventilation was above the dome (which was perforated, of course- otherwise it would be too heavy). Very comfortable, standard stuff, and not very noisy, really. There was some acoustic insulation to cut down on the noise. -RSW From spamcop-social Mon Jun 11 18:25:20 2001 From: spamcop-social (Sylvesterthekat) Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 10:25:20 -0700 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: Let's go live in sunny Houston!

The way I heard it, she (and others) were informed by official representatives of the building management, in positions of authority (i.e., security guards), that the garage was 'in danger' of being flooded and that everyone should repair thither forthwith and move their cars. She, in reliance on the advice of those who should know, and with complete confidence in the marvels and safety devices imbedded in modern elevators, plunged (in the sense of plunger) to a gruesome, agonizing, and protracted death. Remember the LA Law episode where the law partner stepped into the elevator, but the elevator wasn't there? Her estate sued everybody she ever knew, including the firm for whom she worked.

I did have his name in the organization field. But only as a joke becuase of the spammer's impression of the the Lumber Cartel being akin to organized crime. I took his name out because new info has come to light on this guy and his dealings in the mob. There are some mobsters who have their own principles, but Whitey had none. The things this guy did, a number of other mobsters wouldn't do. Essentially a very evil guy.

(Just as most of them today are rigged to go to the main floor when the fire alarm sounds.) That is why there are those signs on every floor, near the elevator doors, saying to use the stairs in case of fire. Elevators will sometimes sense the heat on a floor (level) involved in fire as a "call" to that floor. Some firefighters have died because they elevator they were using went straight to the fire floor and opened its doors. Water apparently makes them do some funky things, too.

Can't stand her now. Yeah, I know what you're saying... I was really shocked when I saw a "Headliners & Legends" a while back. She was a naturally beautiful corn-fed-lookin' girl-next-door type. Why any woman thinks that shoving huge, liquid-filled plastic bags into her chest makes her more beautiful has always been beyond me. There's a real societal sickness involved.

The MTV Road Rules cast once had a mission to do consumer surveys about it. Supposedly, it's filled with water, and keeps you (women) cool, while providing a hiking "hydration" system from which you can drink. And yes, there are nipples in the front. The guys on the show put them on, and the girls would walk them up to college kids, and take a big drink during the survey process (yes, typical MTV fare). The kinky (or was it empathetic?) part of it was that the guys dug wearing them. Sorry to disappoint you, though, Heidi... I have no breasts to speak of-- comedy, water, or otherwise. -- ...Bob W.

We subscribed to this outfit who gave us our own website with their format, of course.

Maybe I was wrong? (http://gi.grolier.com/presidents/ea/bios/39pcart.html) Carter received an appointment to the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis through his local congressman and graduated 59th in a class of 820 in 1946. In July of that year he married Rosalynn Smith, whose family lived near Plains. Carter's naval career began with service on battleships, but after two years he was accepted for submarine duty. After serving on the USS Pomfret in the Pacific, he was selected as one of a group of officers to work under Capt. (later Adm.) Hyman Rickover on the nuclear submarine program. Rickover had a profound effect on Carter who, after studying nuclear physics at Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., served on the crew of the nuclear submarine Sea Wolf. In 1953, following the death of his father, Carter resigned from the Navy and returned to Plains to take over the family farm.

I am going with my dad to Canton, OH, for the next two weeks while he is there for a training school on some new bank equipment. Since I'm going with him, he's driving instead of flying. It's about a 14 hour drive from here. We'll probably end up staying somewhere Saturday night if we stop a lot on the way there. He gets school for two weeks, and I get a much needed vacation to shop (mall is right next to the hotel) and swim and relax. The really cool part is that he's supposed to take me to see Niagara Falls next weekend during the trip. It's about a four hour drive from where we'll be in Ohio. I leave here two days from now. Can Cat survive two weeks without the newsgroup? Stay tuned. P.S. GregR, check your e-mail.

The "downline" you refer to is likely just another pyramid scheme, and if so, is illegal. In addition, posting ads in newsgroups that prohibit them in their charter, or posting a large number of similar ads, or cross-posting to many groups is the easiest way to get yourself in trouble. All those people who posted those other ads have likely gotten their accounts terminated. The thing is that they knew what they were doing was wrong, and they knew they'd get the boot. They're the kind of people who don't care... they just create another email account and start Spamming all over again. Before doing anything on the Net, you need to learn the rules first. Find out what is and isn't allowed. Learn about "Netiquette." It'll save you a lot of grief. Best of luck. -- ...Bob W. From spamcop-social Thu Jun 14 08:23:58 2001 From: spamcop-social (Bob W.)

I have to say it was hard to get used to, not a lot of those people would get a day's work in Hollywood, but it was also refreshing not to constantly assaulted by the image of 'perfection' that only 1 in 8 million women can attain.

Obviously the underwater part had to have been taken underwater (or created on a computer as seems to be implied) and I just figured they'd sandwiched two pictures together so you could see the top and the bottom. But on closer inspection, the top and bottom don't seem to 'fit' either.

Yes they do. The air goes into their engines and propels the airplane. Early in their career, when the city of Dallas trying to force SW to leave Love Field and move its operations to DFW, SW Airlines scored an advertising coup. At DFW there existed vending machines. For the convenience of the passengers, a dollar-bill changer was also available. Thing was, the dollar-bill changer charged a nickel to make change! So you could buy something from the vending machine! Let me be clear: you put in a dollar, you got back 95 cents. SW Airlines bought a similar dollar-bill changer and set it up in front of their ticket counter at Love Field. Then they programmed the bill changer to dispense $1.05 for every dollar bill it accepted. You can't believe the free press SW Airlines got and the embarrassment of the scoundrels at DFW and the city of Dallas. But you can have fun too. Call SW Airlines reservations (1-800-I-FLY-SWA) and ASK to be put on hold. After a bit of music, a sepulchral voice comes on with the message: "Did you ever wonder whether THEY can hear what you're saying when you're on hold? Hmmm?" They have dozens of other thought-provoking messages interspersed with the music. My favorite is a perky female voice that says: "If you feel you have been on hold too long, press the pound key. Nothing will happen, but you'll feel better!" When SWA began, it went head-to-head with Braniff and TWA; today both those airlines no longer exist and SWA has the best on-time record in the industry.

Minnesota prosecutors charged Christine Gunhus, who married former Republican senator Rod Grams after working on his campaign, with violating state criminal laws. Grams' rival, Democratic-Farmer-Labor candidate Mike Ciresi, had filed a complaint under the Minnesota Fair Campaign Practices Act. The risks of using technology you don't completely understand and that could leak your identity are worth noting: * Gunhus is accused of using a Hotmail account (Katie Stevens -- kylomb@hotmail.com) to send the disparaging email messages, which talked about how Ciresi had represented corporate polluters and anti-union companies. But Hotmail includes an X-Originating-IP: header that shows the IP address of the sender -- a problem if you're typing it from the opposing campaign's computer! * Prosecutors say they traced the IP address back to an AT&T WorldNet user who repeatedly used the "Katie Stevens" Hotmail account by connecting from Gunhus' home number. (Guess they keep Caller ID logs.) Apparently the person using the "Katie Stevens" pseudonym was smart at first, sending the mail from a Kinko's store, but then got sloppy. * The email attacks included Microsoft Word attachments, which a Ciresi aide investigated. The aide found that Word listed the document authors as Grams staffers including -- you guessed it -- Christine Gunhus. * Democratic researchers reported that they found Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) in the Word documents. The GUID includes the Ethernet MAC address. Prosecutors last August obtained a search warrant to seize Gunhus' computer, from which they could extract the MAC address if the Ethernet card was still the same. * Let's not forget the political risk. In an article in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune on the pseudonymous mail campaign last year, the Grams campaign offered a remarkably narrow denial. A spokesman hedged: "We didn't put this together and send it out of the Grams campaign office," leaving open the question of whether it was sent by a campaign worker from another location. * And what about the legal risk to free speech? The Minnesota Civil Liberties Union reasonably argues that a criminal law that bans sending pseudonymous messages is unconstitutional. A Supreme Court decision, McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission (http://www.epic.org/free_speech/mcintyre.html), says that a prohibition on the distribution of anonymous campaign literature violates the First Amendment. The state law seems to be ecumenical in its application: A Republican has used it to attack the Sierra Club (http://www.fcregister.com/ziegler11_6_00.htm). Epilogue: Grams managed to derail his Democratic rival's primary bid, and Ciresi did not win his party's nomination. Even though Grams lost the general election in the fall, that hasn't halted his political ambitions. The Washington Times reported on April 13 that Grams is reportedly considering a challenge in 2002 to U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone, a liberal Democrat. _________________________________________________________________ Slate articles from last year on the pseudonymous attacks: http://slate.msn.com/netelection/entries/00-07-21_86798.asp http://slate.msn.com/netelection/entries/00-09-13_89569.asp City Pages article from last year: http://www.citypages.com/databank/21/1032/article8969.asp AP article on the "no contest" plea this week: http://www.infobeat.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/IBFrontEnd.woa/wa/fullStory?artic le=408342905 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.

Well their ontime record wasn't up to much this past trip my husband just made to Seattle. On the way there it was one hour late which meant it arrived closer to midnight than 10.30pm. On the return it was 35 minutes late. Hence the impression that they're not very good. Also, he didn't know that the damn thing was going to be stopping in Oakland so that added over an hour to a journey that would have been much less stressful if it had beeen a direct flight.

I'm sure for short trips they're perfectly fine.

My DSL didn't work immediately so I called up and got a really helpful tech guy who tested my line. He said he could 'see' my computer so he sent a reset (released the IP and reissued it I think) and that solved the problem. I don't know how cable modems differ but they're probably very similar. Does your modem have lights on it that indicate you're 'on' and receiving their signal?

Maybe its changed since the 80's but at Atlanta airport, it was 25 cents for change of a buck.

Seat assignment problem is easy to solve ... get there early. Wise in any case because even the more expensive airlines will over book and you get no seat at all. (A zillion FF miles cuts no ice BTW) Once seated I've never had a seat reassigned save by a polite request. Unless you travel first class the food is not worth eating on any flight long or short. (I grab a to-go bag on the way to the airport, rarely disappointed.) Sitting on the ground and flight delays are typically a product of the ATC system. SW's fast gate turn arounds help (but does not) eliminate some of the ground delay.

(Aptly > titled, though I don't think he's related to Wilbur and Orville). For 100 > trivia bonus points, what scheme did SWA come up with to get around it? > Not as I recall. The insistence of Dallas to have all commercial flights take place at DFW was purely commercial. SWA didn't want to go. Other airlines thought they would be at a competitive disadvantage if they abandoned Love Field, so they didn't want to move to DFW either. Anyway, Dallas tried to kick everybody out of Love Field and SWA said: "Hell no, we won't go!" SWA is still at Love Field. The Wright Amendment (named after Jim Wright, Dallas Congressman and former Speaker of the U.S. House until he was sacked for, inter alia, selling 50,000 copies of his book to each U.S. labor union to get around the campaign laws) was an attempt to cripple SWA on behalf of the City of Dallas and Braniff, TWA, and Continental airlines (who each bought 1,000,000 copies of Jim Wright's book). The Wright Amendment prohibits planes carrying more than 56 passengers with a terminus in Love Field from carrying passengers to any but the states bordering Texas. SWA circumvented this by selling two tickets per flight. For example: Love Field to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City to Chicago. Passengers were obliged to exit the aircraft - with their luggage - in OKC, then reboard onward to Chicago. SWA is good at finding off-the-wall solutions to new problems. A few years ago SWA was contacted by lawyers for, I think, Cessna, who complained that SWA's new motto "Just Plane Smart" was a trademark violation inasmuch as Cessna had already trademarked the phrase "Plane Smart." SWA suggested the controversy be settled by an arm-wrestling match between the company's respective presidents! Amazingly, Cessna agreed. The contest was held at Love Field, complete with marching bands, cheer-leaders, free beer and Bar-B-Que, etc. How two-out-of-three falls can be declared a draw, I don't know, but the end result was each kept their own service mark.

Works in theory but as many flights are over booked (AA is real good {bad?} about doing this) you get bumped based on the check in time at the gate (suppose to be based on the $$ you paid - full fair gets preference over discount but I've never seen it work this way.) There are preboard for families with kids or anyone needing extra time etc. Getting off for someone with kids etc. it is best to wait the rush. > > > Unless you travel first class the food is not worth eating on any flight > > long or short.

Matters not if the flight is direct or not if you are # 50 to take off you still get to wait on the ground. (most flights out of DFW burn more full on the ground than they do in the air) The LA to SEATAC single or multi-hop is a decision based on a business plan. LA to San Antonio on AA is via DFW. But on SW it is direct. Funny but LA to DFW on AA cost considerably more than LA to San Antonio on AA yet both go to DFW. Think SW might have something to do with this? What is more impressive the folk at SW seem to enjoy what they are doing. AA .... Dave From spamcop-social Sat Jun 16 02:02:02 2001 From: spamcop-social (Bob W.)

HELPFUL HINT: Every airline maintains a 'Contract of Carriage' governing the terms under which they honor your ticket, 'bumping,' penalties, etc. The airline MUST provide you a copy IMMEDIATELY upon request (or risk the wrath - and I do mean wrath - of the FAA). If you question their decision, ask for the CofC and check. > > > Sitting on the ground and flight delays are typically a product of the > > > ATC system. SW's fast gate turn arounds help (but does not) eliminate > > > some of the ground delay. HINT: Suppose, when faced with a two-hour, on-board, ground delay, you decide you had rather spend the night in your own bed rather than a hotel at the city where you will miss your last connecting flight. How do you get off of a plane that has pulled away from the gate? Take off your shoes and socks. When the airline staff tell you to put them back on, tell them you can't; they hurt your feet! The airline has no choice but to evict you from the plane. HINT 2: Why does the plane back away from the gate knowing full-well there is a ground or air-traffic delay? Because they get credit for an on-time departure! Beware. Look out the terminal window to see if there are 147 planes in a row awaiting takeoff. You can ask at the desk if there is a ground or air-traffic delay. They may lie, but maybe not. HINT 3: (Caution: NUCLEAR WARNING! THERE WILL BE NO SURVIVORS!) Suppose, when the assigned flight crew passes the check-in counter to enter the plane, someone approaches the desk and says: "Say, that fellow who just entered the plane looks like a guy I saw in an off-airport bar an hour or so ago. I could be wrong, it was dark, and he wasn't wearing a uniform, but I just thought I should tell you." The next sound heard will be the screeching of the hinges on the gates of Hell as it breaks loose. > > Funny but LA to DFW on AA cost considerably more than LA to San Antonio on > AA yet > both go to DFW. Think SW might have something to do with this? Yep. Competition. The stop-off is called a 'Hidden City.' Houston to Denver (where I want to go) costs $600. Houston to Las Vegas, $129, but the plane to Las Vegas stops in Denver! Here's the trick: Buy a ticket to Las Vegas and GET OFF THE PLANE IN DENVER. You can't use a round-trip ticket (airlines have a fit and cancel the ticket when you try to return), but you might be able to find a path where your point of origin is another 'Hidden City' (say, Denver to New Orleans). FINAL HINT: Find the book: "The Airline Passenger's Guerilla Handbook." It's full of neat tips, like avoiding the cost of lockers at the airport by turning in your luggage (sans ID tags) at the Lost and Found station. Sometime later you reappear and say: "Anyone turn in a blue bag?

This would never happen on Virgin Atlantic or British Airways. You are assigned a seat and no matter when you check in, once you have checked in they will hold that seat until they're about to close the doors. Then if you still don't show up they have to remove your baggage and will possibly let a standby passenger take the seat. Many times I've sat in the departure lounge until they're announcing the last boarding call and I'm often the last on the plane, or almost. I've never ever lost my seat. > On overseas flights (most of mine were to SEA) we traveled either business > or first (Time enrought was 13 hrs +) and the food was better, ditto the > wine (women and song were not > available LOL) I'd damn well hope that first class food was better!

And naturally if you've got an additional take-off and landing to endure then your waiting time is going to be all the longer. When your time is valuable (literally) then paying more for a direct flight makes sense, does it not?

(Still 7% seems both odd and a bit steep) Well that's rather different than handing over a buck to get some quarters! I roll my own (so to speak) when cashing in loose change but I could take it to one of those machines where you dump it in and it sorts it out for you. No doubt they charge you something but I don't know what. But I'd only do that if I had a LOT of loose change. I managed to roll up about $11 last time I did it, mostly in pennies.

Most likely you've check in at the gate (or some other point) at the airport which effectively stops the clock. In the event you have checked sufficiently early AND they have more show up than there is space then they are suppose to ask for volunteers to be bumped in return for $$$. Lacking that the bump cycle is *suppose* to be by price of fare then check in time. Real world over seas flights require a long preborad check in and some other BS that makes the last second stuff less likely but it still happens. > > > On overseas flights (most of mine were to SEA) we traveled either business > > or first (Time inrought was 13 hrs +) and the food was better, ditto the > > wine (women and song were not > > available LOL) > > I'd damn well hope that first class food was better!

We were once shorted coach in-flight meals and as I had my takeout with me I volunteered to skip the meal service (an offer that is usually good for a free drink or so). In any case there were some folk who were still shorted so I asked the cabin staff to check if first class happened to have extra. The last 5 folk (me included) were served steak and lobster.

Direct flights are always preferable if for no other reason that the takeoff and landing are the most critical from a safety point than any other portion of the trip. ATC also takes a bit more care with overseas flights if only because of the concerns for fuel on board. My overseas flights were usually based on the time difference and other consideration that pushed my departures into the less busy airport times. (Accounting and our travle group has never given one second's concern to how valuable my time might be (LOL) they never paid over time in anycase.)

It did not sound like much but she had amassed a small fortune over the 20 or so years she worked there. Seems at one time the bank ignored the shortages as too small to spend the investigation money on. After the advent of very accurate electronic scales. (some are sufficiently accurate as to tell the difference between one sheet of paper in a ream) they were running trials on the process and found that she was consistently short one coin in ever four rolls. (Not the bank was out as they passed the rolls and the loss to the customers who likely passed the shortage to the respective cashiers in their businesses. Your till short? Take it out of the pay.) BTW it is illegal for a business to deduct these losses from the checks of minimum wage employees. Anyone making more than minimum they can deduct losses only to the point that the employee becomes minimum wage.

Being in the communications busienss (an EE in RF) I had a passive (would not interfer with any flight instruments) receiver that I'd monitor the ground control and departure frequency (very primative system BTW, the basic technology has not changed much in over 50 years) I often knew what was going on before even the flight crew as they were 'limited' to their frequecny of conceren at the time.

Ditto the lay over the weekend stuff. When I was traveling to DC on a regular basis I'd book one airline out on Monday and a second back on Friday with the return trip straddling the weekends. I'd get two low cost round trips for the price of one quickie. I was once called on the practice by a gate agent and 'warned' that he could pull my FF credits. My candid response: While yes he could would he rather have the better portion of my considerable travel budget or none as the first time that happened would be the last time I flew on that airline. > > FINAL HINT: Find the book: "The Airline Passenger's Guerilla > Handbook."

I don't travel with more than I can comfortably carry. (I have been know to use FedEx for my laundry as it was cheaper than paying the exorbitant hotel laundry fees and it was where I was going before I got there -- less to carry as well) Any real technical or heavy stuff (especially anything that was company confidential) was shipped by FedEx a day or so before my departure. Again as much for too much to carry as it was for security. (FedEx is much easier to track that lost luggage and can usually be redirected in time for a presentation.) Also passed through customs much easier if the paperwork was done right.

Back issues are available at http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/utilities/st/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bailout Watch #53 Thursday June 14, 2001 Grandpa, tell me the story of why our electric bills are so high. The energy crisis isn't over. The long term energy contracts revealed by the LA Times lock in the energy crisis for another ten to twenty years. Despite the fact that power production plus a fair profit costs about $20-$35/Mwh for an average plant, the state negotiators have committed ratepayers to purchasing power for as much as $154/MwH for decades. Not only is the average price of the contracts (ranging from $60-$100/MwH per year) more expensive than power in previous years, but it is actually more expensive than power costs today on the "market," (see below). Unless these contracts are invalidated or abrogated by the state, we'll spend the next decade or two watching ourselves get ripped off by the energy bandits who got the deal of the century "back in the ol' days, round about the energy crisis of 2001, sonny." Just compare the contracts to prices in previous years: * On May 15, 2000 power sold for a weighted average price of $31.01/mwh and ranged that day from $10.35-$39.98 * On January 16, 2000 it sold for a weighted average price of $28.61/mwh * August 15, 1999 : $22.41/mwh It is the same power. It comes from the same plants. But for the next decade, at least, we are slated to pay three to five times more per megawatt-hour. For the ratepayer it means the recent 49% rate hikes are here to stay, with more to come. The Big Blink? The fact that the robber barons will be picking our pockets for a generation (if these contracts hold up) does not mean that the energy companies aren't running just a bit scared. Last week, the "market" price collapsed from around $300 to as low as $20, and not because the weather changed. The energy companies insist that "The market is working!" That's their explanation. Gee, we think the suddenly reasonable pricing might have more to do with (1) US Justice Dept. broadening its investigation of natural gas manipulation by El Paso and (2) issuing supbpoenas of wholesaler Williams for conspiring to limit plant construction in California, (3) Attorney General Lockyer convening a grand jury to issue indictments, (4) passage of windfall profits tax bill by Cal. Senate, (5) Gov. signing bill to create state public power agency, (5) threats of plant seizures, and (6) US Senate, in Dems' hands, pushing wholesale price control legislation. You might call it Regulating by Threat. No, the energy crisis is not over, and won't be, until California regains control of its electricity supply. Like outlaws in the Wild West, the energy companies see the Sheriff coming, and they're headin' for the hills. They'll lie low for awhile, but unless they're hunted down and brought to justice, they'll be back. You can bet on it. The Fed's plan is lousy. Indeed, even FERC is thinkin' o' blinkin'. When California deregulated, we handed authority to regulate wholesale rights over to the ideological goofballs in DC. Unfortunately, their plan - to cap prices based on the costs of the most expensive plant - still leaves us with ridiculously-over priced electricity and the plan can be gamed by megawatt-laundering - the practice of selling power out of state and then, after its price has increased, back into California. The Three Rs. FERC's just trying to protect the Bush Administration and the energy industry with a temporary political sop that will preserve pro-deregulation efforts in other states, which have been brought to a standstill by the California dereg debacle. California requires Rollbacks, Refunds and real Regulation, not caps. The market shows no mercy. Bloomberg News reports that not only was the "market price" for electricity through the roof in the first quarter of 2001, the State of California paid well above that market price. The state's average cost for power was $285/Megawatt-Hour (MwH) during the quarter, much higher than the average market price of $248/MwH in NorCal and $211/MwH in SoCal. California paid an extra $492-$985 million over the already obscene average price because, as one energy industry consultant put it, "[California is] often at the mercy of the market." Energy industry to Governor Davis: Our negotiators are better than your negotiators. Here's how Enron describe the differences between power company traders and government negotiators: "We hire extremely bright people," OUCH. "Most of them have advanced degrees... [I] can guarantee that (Enron traders) get paid more than your average civil servant." And Williams Company takes us to the cleaners with their significant "technology and modeling...If the state doesn't have those types of investments, it's unlikely they would be able to trade as effectively." In other words, we've got so many ways to rip you off, you might as well hand over the money right now. Oh, that's right we already did (see long-term contracts, above). Extraordinary Measures. Why is it that whenever we hear the expression "extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures," it seems as though the average consumer has to take the extraordinary measure of paying more money? Here's a nice change to that: the Assembly Judiciary Committee passed AB2x 35 , a bill by San Diego Assemblyman Vargas that requires the state power authority to take over unregulated power plants if they are found to be overcharging or withholding power. The state will operate the seized plants for up to two years and run them on a low-cost basis, ensuring the reliability and affordability of our energy system. The use of the state's power of eminent domain, as a complement to the windfall profits tax (SB2x 1), is the extraordinary measure that is needed as an antidote to the profiteering that has occurred in California for the last 12 months and will likely occur during the summer and for years to come if we don't act. Eminent Domain isn't just being handed to the power companies, they earned it. BLACKOUT BRIGADE UPDATE: To all the members of the Blackout Brigade who contacted Speaker Hertzberg last week: congratulations. The Windfall Profits bill, which had languished for a month, has been set for a July 2 hearing in the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee. Stay tuned for future Brigade actions.

Not to pick at the analogy, but they paid the person who opened the cookie? The point isn't whether a Spammer pays for their Internet connection -- the point is whether the message was solicited by the recipient. The recipient in this case is the restaurant patron who opens the cookie expecting to find a wise and/or entertaining fortune... not an advertizement. Smells like fortune cookie Spam to me, and it would definitely generate Bad Will(TM) in my case. There are just some places where ads *do not belong*... IMNSHO.

The problem is that when you pay for a fortune cookie, you pay for a fortune cookie -- not just a cookie. The entertainment and sometimes morale-boosting value of a fortune is part of the deal. If I buy a novel, I don't expect there to be ads on every other page. If I buy a painting, I don't expect there to be an ad stuck to the lower-left corner. I bought a painting, not an ad. The problem seems crystal clear to me... -- ...Bob W. From spamcop-social Sun Jun 17 22:05:45 2001 From: spamcop-social (Bob W.)

Jeez, it's up to you which ticket you use! Nothing is wrong with it but the airlines consider it a violation of the carriage contract, i.e, go and come over a weekend, and tried to get A**Holy about it. I guess it worked with some, but not me who was travling so much that I had a case of the micro-give-a-s*ht when it came to airlines. > > I don't travel with more than I can comfortably carry.

If I left my laundry with the hotel (and I'm very lucky) I'll get it back late than night but typically the next morning by which time I'd be in another city, state or country. If I drop (and pay for) my laundry at a local cleaners along with a shipping box and FedEx waybill. FedEx would pick up the package in the afternoon before 6 PM and have it at my next destination by 8-10 AM the next day. Much of my laundry traveled by skipping one stop. EX Monday in Miami I go to LA on Tuesday and DC on Wednesday. My Monday laundry would be dropped at the cleaners soon after check out, cleaned and shipped by FedEx (skipping LA) to DC where it would be waiting for me when I arrived. Sounds crazy but it was the only way that I could effectively move around as much as I did (when I was a 'Sea Gull' on the road I was often in the air more hours per week than I was on the ground LOL). This worked best when I knew my schedule two days in advance. At other times I would be on my way someplace only to get off to be met by message and a ticket to someplace else. Even then we could usually have the package re-directed from my 'old' destination to my new destination. Recall I did carry a two day supply of what I needed but only what I needed. Even with the shipping charges (we had a volume shipping arrangement with FedEx) this was often cheaper than having the hotel do the job as they don't just mark up but MULTIPLIED the local prices. In a pinch I could send the dirty laundry to a local plant in the city where I was going but that was risky as I might be redirected.

California is screwed. Interestingly, there's no monopoly. There's no collusion. There's no illegal restraint of trade. Just one example: >From recent news, Williams Energy (not, by the way, a 'Texas' outfit) which owns, oh, maybe six generating plants in California, offered to sell electricity to the ISO at $300/MW. The ISO declined, so Williams dialed back their output by 25%. This put the ISO in the position of HAVING to take whatever bids were offered. The only utility with capacity was Williams, so they got their $300/MW. Seemingly forever, farmers have destroyed their crops or livestock to drive up prices. Manufacturing plants have shut down to increase demand. Workers have withheld their labor to increase wages. This technique - of reducing output to influence the market - has stood the test of time - and the legal system. I have no doubt suits and lawyers and notaries public will descend on various courthouses with writs and motions and much gnashing of teeth and quivering of jaw. Trials will be held. A few million dollars will change hands. California is still screwed. There will be political solutions proposed. Don't forget, California is a state that, in the main, thinks that the government provides solutions to problems created by private industry instead of the reverse. A bill will be passed to nationalize (is that the right word?) power generation. The energy companies will resist - and don't forget, power companies have more money than the state of California. This solution will take years to come to a conclusion and it is not all clear that the end result will be what the politicians of California envision (see the 'Taking Clause' of the U.S. Constitution). In the meantime, California is screwed. Amongst the proposals is one where the state would take over an run generating plants. As bad as power distribution is now in California, it's still not as bad as the other things the state runs. Like the schools or the freeways or the police. Of course Californians didn't think things would be this bad when they mandated zero-emission automobiles, or banned oil drilling off the coast, or built no new power plants for a decade, or refused new transmission lines, or even when Los Angeles banned outdoor grills or leaf-blowers. In spite of posturing to the contrary, California has no leverage with the Feds (the state went for Gore bigtime and has two very liberal Democratic Senators). The state has no money left as a cushion. Threats that a failing California economy will hurt the rest of the country fall on deaf ears because the rest of the country wants industry to leave California and move to Virginia, or Utah, or even Guam. As a former candidate for governor of Texas, Clayton Williams (I think the same person who's involved with Williams Energy) once said: "Rape is kinda like the weather, you can't do anything about it, so you might as well lay back and enjoy it." This might be a bad analogy since Clayton Williams lost the gubernatorial election to Ann Richards. There is no hope; California is screwed.

Back-to-backs used to be more common until the airlines started charging the travel agencies for the difference in the ticket prices. Today, if you want a back-to-back, you have to figure it out yourself. Remember, the airlines COULD charge you the difference. The idea of a back-to-back is confusing, so let me explain it another way. Suppose I want to leave city "A" on Tuesday the 10th and return from city "B" on Friday the 13th. A round-trip ticket costs $600. I buy a round-trip ticket from "A" to "B" and back, leaving "A" on the 10th and returning the 16th. This gets me a Saturday-night stopover and costs $199. I buy a round-trip ticket from "B" to "A" and back, leaving "B" on the 13th and returning the 20th. This gets me another Saturday night stopover and costs $199. I use the ticket from "A" to "B" in the first round trip and the ticket from "B" to "A" from the second round trip. I discard the other tickets. Total cost: $398.

Well, it's just a coincidence, but for dinner this evening I had Wiener Truthan Schnitzel. Traditional Wiener Schnitzel means "Viennese Cutlets". (Wien is German for Vienna.) It's veal cutlets pan-fried in a flavorful egg, parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and parsley batter. Well, we've Americanized the dish with "Truthan" in place of veal. Truthan is aka "the American bird" or "turkey". Pounded turkey filets pan-fried with the same Wiener Schnitzel batter is heavenly. Two more culinary tangents have come from these message threads: - Wiener SPAM Schnitzel. (batter-fried with traditional SPAM(r)--the other white meat that ain't so white. - Wiener TurkeySPAM Schnitzel--(batter-fried with the all new SPAM made from turkey parts. Hey, wouldn't that make it SPAT instead of SPAM? Some Parts Are Turkey? BBbbbbbbbbbbbbbbluhhhhhhh! Cuspid From spamcop-social Tue Jun 19 09:58:01 2001 From: spamcop-social (Bob W.)

Since he didn't have a lighter, he asked his friend if he had one. "I sure do," the friend replied, and reached into his golf bag and pulled out a 12 inch BIC lighter. "WOW!" said his friend, "Where did you get that monster?" "I got it from my genie." "You have a genie?" "Yes, he's right here in my golf bag." He opens his golf bag and out pops the genie. The friend says, "I'm a good friend of your master. Will you grant me one wish?" "Yes, I will," the genie answers. So the guy asks for a million bucks and the genie hops back into the golf bag and leaves him standing there waiting. Suddenly the sky begins to darken and the sound of a million ducks flying overhead is heard. The friend tells his golfing partner, "I asked for a million bucks, not ducks!"

There was a sign on the cage that said $50.00. "Why so little?", she asked the pet store owner. The owner looked at her and said, "Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of prostitution, and sometimes it says some pretty vulgar stuff." The woman thought about this, but decided because it was so beautiful, that she had to have the bird anyway. She took it home and hung the bird's cage up in her living room and waited for it to say something. The bird looked around the room, then at her, and said, "New house, new madam." The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then thought, "that's not so bad." When her two teenage daughters returned from school, the bird saw them and said, "New house, new madam, new whores." The girls and the woman were a bit offended but then began to laugh about the situation. Moments later, the woman's husband, Keith, came home from work. The bird looked at him and said, "Hi Keith."

Yup, I think that's it. Just a couple times a year--not every day or every week or every month--I want something a bit greasy. Sometimes when I have a belly ache from eating non-greasy foods, I find that something a bit greasy helps resolve the problem. Maybe it's lubricating the tummy and instestines or something. I don't know about those who routinely eat greasy stuff. That's what clogged arteries are made of.

Message-ID: We all get bombarded by crap wherever we can be reached, and I know this. But this is a new one that has occurred a few times and I find it really annoying. I received a call from a man who was humbly soft-spoken and told me of his new business in carpet cleaning and after a while, it was obvious to me that he was not real, but a recording! I must say it was a great con and was well done. It was just unpolished enough to be credible and at the end it was push 9 to be removed from our list.... Today I got a call, and I had accidentally had the mute on. After a second or two or fumbling an automated voice quickly said "hello, hello" and "Oh, I'm sorry. I must have dialed the wrong number" Good voice, but I knew it was automated. Since I never responded to it, I knew it's only purpose was to call, say it's spiel and hang up. What was the purpose of this call? It was out of area on caller ID and other than checking if my number was still good, I can't think of why anyone would want to do this? I figure that just getting the phone to ring is proof it is alive. I am just curious to know if anyone knows about this. Harlot -- Remove 'SPAM' from my email address to email me.

Message-ID: <9goppk$bls$1@snowmane.julianhaight.com> Yay.. Man Guilty in Road Rage Dog Death By RON HARRIS Associated Press Writer SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- A man was convicted Tuesday of tossing a little dog to its death on a busy highway in a bout of road rage and could get up to three years in prison. A jury took less than an hour to convict Andrew Burnett, 27, of animal cruelty for killing Leo, a fluffy white bichon frise, in an episode that outraged dog lovers. Dog lovers and others had donated $120,000 to find Leo's killer -- more than the reward in many local missing-child cases. "It doesn't bring Leo back but at least Leo had his day,'' Leo's owner, Sara McBurnett, said after the verdict. "One cruel person has been accountable for their cruelty.'' Burnett, a former telephone repairman, sat motionless as the verdict was read. His attorney, Marc Garcia, said the furor surrounding the case made it difficult for his client. "The deck was so stacked against him in this case from day one,'' Garcia said. Sentencing is set July 13. McBurnett and other witnesses testified that after a minor traffic accident in February 2000, Burnett yelled at her, reached through her open car window, grabbed the dog and hurled it into oncoming traffic. The 10-year-old pet was struck seconds later. "It wasn't just a dog to me,'' McBurnett said. "For me it was my child. He killed my baby right in front of me.'' Police said an anonymous e-mail tipped them to Burnett. He had been jailed in December on unrelated charges of stealing thousands of dollars worth of tools from his employer, Pacific Bell, and of lying to get out of a speeding ticket. Police matched Burnett to a sketch of the road rage suspect. Burnett never took the stand. But his lawyer said he instinctively grabbed the dog because it bit him on the hand. "Andrew Burnett is the only person in the whole world who would think this was reasonable,'' prosecutor Troy Benson said. Last week, the jury also heard taped telephone conversations that Burnett had from jail with his mother and fiancee. In one tape, Burnett and his fiancee discussed selling their story to the media for $250,000 and going on a talk show to have a "dog-kicking contest.'' 19-Jun-01 17:10 EDT Copyright 2001 The Associated Press.

One day, he had a heart attack and was put in the hospital. His doctor told him all the usual things -- exercise moderately, lay off the fatty stuff, etc. A few weeks later, he was back at work, and eating salads at lunch. That lasted for a couple of weeks. Then one day I saw him piling mashed potatoes on his plate again, and slapping pat... after pat... after pat... after pat... after pat... after pat of butter onto the plate and onto the potatoes.

Probably best to be circumspect about it anyway! There'd be no point in pushing 9 since they wouldn't remove you from their calling list. They're already breaking the laws applicable by having an automated message so they're not very likely to honour your remove requests.

My answering machine keeps getting a recording from a woman who babbles on about how her husband is "in the area" and they're putting up siding. (I'm sure the apartment's management company would be _ecstatic_ if I put up siding around my apartment. ) It was almost convincing the first time. Then I realized it was a recording rather than just regular old annoying people. When you start getting the same message (or minor variations), time after time... Oh, puh-lease.

It's an old scam that only affects certain PBX systems (like at an office) that provide the ability to patch a call through to an outgoing line. It actually happens *extemely* rarely, and it doesn't affect home phones. Hoax-style warning letters about this get circulated around the Net every once in a while, igniting new unnecessary panic all over again. Have fun... -- ...Bob W.

That would explain why they requested that we not do it. We did have our own PBX that could patch calls to outgoing lines via 9. Now it all makes sense.

The man who was arrested for keeping 29 Borzoi in uninhabitable conditions in a townhouse in WV was just let go because the prosecutor dropped the ball and couldn't "prove" that the guy actually lived in the town house. That's the most lame-ass thing I've ever heard, he said he never anticipated they would try that defense by saying the guy and his wife were separated - forget the fact that they jointly owned the dogs, he walks away with nothing, not even restitution for the rescue, cleanup and healthcare for the dogs.

The wife (undoubtedly blonde), picked up the phone, listened a moment and said, "How should I know, that's 200 miles from here!" and hung up. The husband said, "Who was that?" The wife said, "I don't know, some woman wanting to know "if the coast is clear." A blonde suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her, so she goes out and buys a gun. She goes to his apartment unexpectedly and when she opens the door she finds him in the arms of a redhead. Well, the blonde is really angry. She opens her purse to take out the gun, and as she does so, she is overcome with grief. She takes the gun and puts it to her head. The boyfriend yells, "No, honey, don't do it." The blonde replies, "Shut up, you're next!"

Best that there are emergency vehicles alerting the public with sirens a blaring. What else can they do? The person shoots. Who is putting whom in danger's path? BTW, coverage stopped here. I can only guess the culprit has been apprehended. Another thought, in my town it's one officer per car. Used to be two in the 70's.

You > can even see live feed of the stand-off. Whatever next? I'd been watching other stuff... I've just come back to it on Channel 2... It is now 2:00 AM, and the news has been on... they say it's "live" and they aren't supering a "recorded earlier", so I guess it's still going on. The guy is still sitting in his van, although he's apparently getting agitated. Looks like the LA SWAT team sent a robot up along the passenger's side, but the guy managed to knock the thing over (with the passenger-side door?), pretty much putting it out of commission. One thing I was watching was the *great* ELO reunion on VH1's "Storytellers". A *huge* bonus for me is the fact that Jeff Lynne's girlfriend is Rosie Vela, of whom I have been a huge fan for *ages*... and Rosie is doing backup vocals for Jeff, and even co-writing stuff with him. She looks *incredible* as always... She never ages. Didn't really get to hear her out front much, since she was just singing backing vocals, and they had a chorus effect on her to provide that nice fat vocal wall of sound that ELO is famous for. Side bar: It also sounds like Jeff is going to produce a new album for her (sched. release: 2002), which is a dream come true; she'd only had one album released before ("Zazu"), and her second album got shelved in legal crap. Somebody who worked on it said that it was even better than the first one. Typical. The world gets screwed out of the artist's work, and the artist gets screwed out of the money and recognition they deserve, all because some idiots at a label are devoid of clues. So maybe this album will help rectify that travesty, eh? And what a great couple these two make! Anyway, the band sounded really, really good. Just the right pared-down number of strings plus the usual players. Jeff sounds great, and they did all the big hits. The audience was *hot*. VH1 staff has said they were "the best audience for any Storytellers". I got a lot of chills and even a tear or two hearing that old stuff. *snif* Following that, the "Behind the Music" was one I hadn't seen-- Genesis, whom I'd followed and loved (along with Phil's solo stuff) since way back in the early seventies. So I had a *very* good evening -- unlike the guy in the van. Well, the news just signed off, so I guess we'll find out what happened in the morning. I figure either the guy will eventually get tired and give up, or it's going to end in another suicide-by-cop. :/ -- ...Bob W.

Message-ID: <9gt13u$bn0$1@snowmane.julianhaight.com> Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea - one was called Justin and the other called Christian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that patrolled the area. Finally one day during a tropical storm, Justin said to Christian, "I'm bored and frustrated at being a prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten". As Justin had his mind firmly on becoming a predator, a flash of lightning hit the water and, lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate. > > Time went on (as it invariably does....) and Justin found himself becoming bored and lonely as a shark. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them. Justin didn't realise that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight. During the next tropical storm, Justin figured that the same lightning source could change him back into a prawn. Lightning never strikes twice except in stories like these, but while he was thinking of being a prawn again, a flash of lightning did strike the water next to Justin and, lo and behold, he turned back into a prawn. > > With tears in his tiny little eyes, Justin swam back to his friends and bought then a cocktail (The punch line does not involve a prawn cocktail - it's much worse). > > Looking around the gathering at the reef, he searched for his old pal. Where's Christian?" he asked. "He's at home, distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark". came the reply. Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and anguish, he swam off to Christian's house. As he opened the coral gate, the memories came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again." Christian replied, "No way, man, you'll eat me. You're a shark, the enemy, and I'll not be tricked". Justin cried back. "No I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed..... I'm a prawn again, Christian......."

Also, what good are the blaring sirens behind the fleeing individual. I'd hate to be involved in that type of law enforcement.

Bowen caught up to the bikers at a stop light, where he exchanged words with Long. Some witnesses also reported that Long kicked Bowen's truck. Witnesses gave somewhat conflicting reports about what happened next, with some accusing Bowen of driving aggressively, even trying to strike Long. Other witnesses said Long was the aggressor, and continued to kick Bowen's truck as they sped down the road, although some said it looked like Long was just trying to keep the truck at a distance. Long was passing Bowen on the left when the two vehicles collided, and Long's bike slid under Bowen's truck. The full-size, extended cab pickup ran over the bike, then ran over Long, who died at the scene. Doesn't sound like "intentionally ran over" to me.......

A friend of mine got pulled over last month and he mentioned four separate "tests" that I would fail miserably _stone_cold_sober_. Recite the alphabet backwards.... WTF is that supposed to show!? Count backwards from 100 in 7's without hesitating once. Touch the "tip" of your nose with your head leaning back (not the nostril, not the bridge, the EXACT "tip" ONLY). He also failed the "stand on one leg with head tilted back" test because a truck flew by on the highway and the wind knocked him askew. Cop still flunked him on that one, the prick. Oh, BTW, he measured 0.04 on the breathalyzer. 2 beers in one hour. No arrest, got a ticket for not signaling a lane change. Cop must have been short on his quota for the month. > In both cases there were witnesses. > > In the first case the old man was tested with a BAC of .03 > > In the first case the DA declined to press charges of driving while impaired > > In the second case the DA plea bargained down from felony murder.

No truck I know of could keep up with a bike if the biker guy wanted to avoid a confrontation. Probably only a couple of supercars in the world that could catch a bike, come to think of it.

What would your opinion be if Julius had been driving a tank and Gerald had been squashed? As a motorcyclists we do not mince words with drivers of urban assault vehicles, we express our dissatisfaction and traffic permitting move on (accelerate away). If the pilot of said UAV decides to chase a cyclist down he must be held to answer to the full weight of any consequences. It is assault with a deadly weapon (a felony) at the very least not misdemeanor manslaughter, as the cyclist had no weapon (the truck drivers life was never endangered).

Actually, there was something on TV about this the other day. They showed cops who'd been involved in chases, sometimes alone, sometimes in a group who when they'd caught and handcuffed the perp then proceeded to stomp on their head, kick them in the stomach and so on. A TV news crew, stationed a mile away in a helicopter (so the cops didn't know they were being filmed) caught a particularly vicious beating on camera. The individual involved was fired, his partner who did nothing to stop him was assigned to some sort of desk job. They need more training on how to keep a handle on their emotions because the natural reaction after a big adrenalin rush is to lash out.

How many times have any of us been the victim of a big commercial truck driving like an idiot, changing lanes, cutting us off, making us slam on the brakes? Does it ever occur to you to just keep going and get in an accident, because dammit, you were there first?! Of course not. You see the size of his vehicle compared to yours and you back down, gritting your teeth and cursing. Sane people do not pick fights when they are obviously outgunned.
