Perhaps Stuxnet2 ?

If the amount of forwarded misinformation I receive from some of my otherwise intelligent friends is any indication, I'm inclined to disagree. Too many of these forwards are total fabrication and I can't for the life of me understand why they get passed on, but they do.

I had a similar problem. I recorded a message for my voice mail answer that went like this: " The number you have reached is for me, John Doe, not Joe Doe. Joe Doe does not live at this number. If you wish to reach Joe Doe this is the wrong number. Please do not call this number if you wish to reach Joe Doe. On the other hand, if you want to leave a message for me, John Doe, please record your message after the beep." I then just let calls from unrecognized numbers go to voice mail. It has drastically cut down on the robocalls I get.

"Customer service sucks with all cell phone carriers. I've tried them all and have stories for each." My experience differs sharply. I have had Verizon wireless service for years and every time I have had a need to contact their customer service I spoke to a real human that I could understand. I got my issues solved. AT&T on the other hand, jerked me around squarely. I detest them. YMMV

The best time to look for a job is when you have a job. You can be selective and the wolf isn't at your door. So if the choice is job or no job, I'd choose job. From there I'd keep looking if it wasn't what I wanted.

Seasons?? Don't need no stinking seasons !!

This is sad. Where I used to teach there was absolutely NO verification of income for the free lunch program. In fact, it was expressly forbidden to even question the qualification of any application, no matter how obviously egregious the situation. There were strong incentives for the school to qualify as many students as possible, linked to additional federal funding going directly to the school. Somehow I doubt this will be any better supervised.

One similarity of both systems is the efficient delivery of viruses.

Pogo seems to be doing swimmingly by appealing to women.

There are many for sale on Ebay. I am presently using one I purchased at a very good price from a merchant there. One must exercise caution to avoid stolen phones.

The usual technique for discouraging whistle blowing has not been abandoned. Some FOIA requests are being blocked and we just rarely hear about it. http://js10131979.new.newsvine.com/_news/2011/03/17/6288196-top-lawmaker-takes-issue-with-dhs-whistle-blower-demotion

There are a few 'off site' nuclear waste storage facilities in the USA. I have seen the one near Morris, Illinois. It's like a huge swimming pool in a steel sided barn. It's quite deep and constantly glows with a blue light. The building has no other heat source and is warm all winter.

Eldred v. Ashcroft was a 7 - 2 decision. If Thomas was influenced, it was unnecessary. There were 6 others voting the same way.
