" "I use Google all the time. I keep two GMail tabs open when I'm online (one is private, another is a corporate account), "

The first thing I find myself asking is....
Your using Webmail for Corporate Business? Wow, Good thing I am not your CEO.

Second, thing.. It's a Free Service on servers someone else owns, the short answer is you can't keep your privacy!

But here's the fun answer. Gotta have fun...
Ever hear of pop 3? (okay okay technically Google sets up different ports and settings)
even grandpa (RIP) used to use Eudora in dos/win 3.1 with HTML turned off

POP 3/SMTP your mail (on whatever ports the service uses)

ban all forms of webmail, Turn Off html in your mail client
Or eventually get hit by worms . I know of "nobody" who uses html on or /webmail mail who hasn't gotten hit by worms. If you use stupid settings like these, you will get hit too. It might not matter when all you have is a browser and 10 apps, but if it takes you 4 months to build a workstation, such nonsense as webmail or html on wouldn't be tolerated by myself, not to mention the question of how your managing all your passwords, anyway, it sounds like you need to just sit down, and design a security / backup plan, cause the road your headed on is going to have bumps. Your not going to look smart when you need to print an invoice but your workstations are down cause you have a webmail virus to clean up. LOL

"how do I stay anonymous to Google while using their services?"

A Wireless Connection going through TOR and Seven Proxies might help, oops we forgot your DNS leak...Se La Vie

Let me see, your getting a "free service" and you have applied some of that freeness to a "corporate account", and now your just finding out your going to pay for it with your ip address and statistics. I have to say, this isn't a problem with Google, it's a problem with your basic understanding of TCPIP, and business in general, if not an outright gap in reality. I'll bite the last assumption since I don't know ya, but not the others..

Comment Paper Ballots fail for ONE reason (Score 1) 157

First off I want to say, fuck Brazil's elections, it's not the United States!

Paper Ballots fail for one reason, a broken chain of custody.

A chain of custody, doesn't mean officials can seal off a building saying there's a terrorist threat.
A chain of custody, must be made up of the public. e.g. Humans. Not Cops, Corrupt Officials, or Invisible Electronic Signals.
A chain of custody, must be maintained 24/7, until all the votes are counted, and the total is final.
A chain of custody, can not be maintained when officials abuse their authority and the public backs down.
A chain of custody, can not be maintained, when untrained (in electronics, physics, and programming) local law enforcement arrest poll watchers

All electronic vote tabulation devices are, by definition a broken chain of custody. (humans can not see electronic signals)
Electronic registered voter poll books have the same problems electronic vote tabulation devices have

This is why an electronic solution is impossible.

You want honest elections?

Turn the Fucking Power off.
Use paper ballots, with an unbroken public chain of custody.
  (Not this half ass kiddy shit where officials dictate the whole process, using local law enforcement, to bar access!)

"the fact is that many areas are rolling out electronic voting whether we would like it or not."

Oh Truth. So sweet.

Remember here in California we used electronic vote tabulation devices to vote for more electronic vote tabulation devices? Don't even try to say no.

"I would like more than just a buggy, black-box Diebold piece of shit."
Hell I want the fucking US Constitution restored. Right now we have officials who were elected using "a buggy, black-box Diebold piece of shit." They know the machines are b0rked it's why they are not accountable to the public.

Don't sell out for a half-ass "better" system, when the underlying problem is HARDWARE and it isn't fucking checked!
