FBI may be reading emails without a warrant
Wed May 8, 2013
- It's called TOR. And it's designed to keep your trail hidden. Unless you do something stupid like login to an account without the proxy, then login again via the proxy. And this is why EVERYONE should be encrypting their email. PGP/GPG Encryption is easy to do. Enigmail for Thunderbird, PGP4WIN for …
Town puts police officers in schools at no cost to taxpayers
Wed Mar 6, 2013
- I think even for communities that don't have the ability to afford school resource officers, if they have an officer that is mostly a desk jockey they can put that officer in a school as an added bonus, rather than at a precinct or substation.
More states consider ban on credit card surcharges
Fri Feb 22, 2013
- Look, perhaps we need to stop deluding ourselves and thinking we can get everything cut-rate. As a small business owner, I charge enough to cover ALL of my expenses and generate a profit. Everything from paper and toner to yes, you guessed it, transaction fees for credit cards. If you're pricing all …
Younger Americans: No house, no car, less debt
Thu Feb 21, 2013
- No rent required for an RV? Sure, if you only plan to sleep in freeway rest areas each night for the few hours they let you park there. Let's not mention maintenance, diesel, etc. There is no such thing as living without "rent". You pay one way or another, and that includes property tax. And there i …
Poland Spring could get bump from Rubio sip
Wed Feb 13, 2013
- It's unusual for a professional orator, giving a pre-recorded speech, to do such a thing. It's even more unusual for them to use a bottle with a label. Why? It's product placement. Just shy of Rubio stopping and saying, "Excuse me for a moment while I quench my undying thirst with this bottle of coo …
First picture emerges of man believed to have taken 5-year-old hostage in Alabama
Fri Feb 1, 2013
- Amendment IX does. The right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of crayons and kickballs is clearly defined. And where one's persons enumerated rights deny others these rights, the wielder loses all ground.
Most major US airports that allow smoking won't kick the habit
Fri Jan 18, 2013
- Ah, smokers. The only drug addicts in the country who feel entitled to special consideration and need a space to "relax, unwind, and have a smoke". In all honesty I could really care less about the smoking lounges. I just wish smokers would stop throwing hot ash and butts out their car windows or le …
Survivalists prepare for Mayan apocalypse, nuclear war or any disaster
Tue Dec 18, 2012
- Having a thorough survival kit with food, water, water purification, knives, fire starters, fuel, first aid kits, tools, blankets, navigational items, etc. is one thing. Heck, even building a dedicated underground shelter if you're in tornado alley or a place where an underground shelter would be be …
Toll authority quick to dun drivers; not so good at refunding overpayments
Mon Dec 3, 2012
- That is pretty much any organization, whether it is company or government (although I find Federal Tax Refunds are quite speedy). If you owe THEM money, expect Guido in 30 days. If they owe YOU money, expect them to drag their feet, complain it's too hard, or otherwise make an excuse. Take them to s …
UN Palestinian statehood vote a personal, political victory for Abbas
Thu Nov 29, 2012
- Stephen and Troy, Jordan didn't exist until the fall of the Ottoman Empire, it was created along with the rest of the countries in that region under the British Mandate, including Israel, which wasn't Jewish and didn't exist prior to the British Mandate. It was added as part of the Final Plans for T …
