Journal Journal: Unemployment Insurance: What a Ripoff! 5
Besides me and Professor Walter E. Williams, it does not look like many others understand who is really paying their payroll taxes. I try to clear up some myths in this article.
Journal Journal: Why you need strong encryption on your private security data
In case you have not heard, the LA police paid a visit to Justin Bieber's place recently. An interesting bit from the story: ""The purpose of the search warrant is to seek video surveillance or other possible evidence in the vandalism that occurred on January 9, 2014," the sheriff's statement said.
Deputies seized video from computer hard drives on the "extensive" security monitoring system on Bieber

Yes, in some of those old reports, if memory serves, the big point was that your laptop is still vulnerable even if it is not connected to a CRT.

The thing I was remembering was the RF coming from the port itself, no matter if anything was plugged in or not. Saw them do the sniffing of laptops with open VGA ports too.

By monitor I mean see what was on screen. I do not recall any demonstration of being to remotely manipulate input, data, etc.
Comment VGA Ports are out now? (Score 1) 324
Back a couple of decades ago, this was supposed to be possible remotely by monitoring RF output from those noisy, leaky VGA ports. Never saw a demonstration from 8 miles away, just across the street or from a van on the street. No special hardware in the computer, just the right gear to listen to the RF leaking all over the place.
Sorry for no link, Google is full of connecting HDMI to VGA stuff these days.

Or ask Hibbing, Minnesota. From 1919 to 1921, the entire city moved about two miles to make way for what became the largest open-pit iron mine in the world.
Home of Robert Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan. Also, that baseball home run champ, Roger Maris.

Why is it that all the older liberal women I know, don't seem to be able to understand human sexuality?
Are all of them grumpy, ugly old bags who got into the liberalism thing for attention? That is a top reason, but there are many others.

How Would You Kill Superman? is the latest from Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedians In Cars Drinking Coffee" internet series.
In this week's Jerry Seinfeld adventure, Jerry and Patton Oswalt discuss how one might kill Superman while Jerry's borrowed 1981 DeLorean DMC 12 is attended to by the on-call mechanics who have to follow those cars around.

Sigh. There's more to Chicago than Capone, you know?
The Daleys were the longest serving mayors in Chicago history. Between J Daley and M Daley, Chicago had a mayor named Daley for 43 years. Chicago natives who were children in the 1960s will tell you that they grew up thinking that "Mayor-Daley" was the official title of the office holder and not just a man's name. That's what happens when you don't have term limits and everyone keeps voting for the guy who's been mayor forever.
Vote early, vote often, vote daily, vote Daley, vote Daley.
Um, yes AC I am fully aware of the longevity of the Daley brand. Be that as it may, Cermak was the one in Chicago who started the "vote early, vote often" saying even before Richard J. Daley was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives as a Republican in 1936, or before he lost his Cook County Sheriff's race in 1946. Cermak was shot while shaking hands with President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt at Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida, on February 15, 1933. Now that you know there were other mayors of Chicago, you are welcome.

I've been hearing about this computer voting via unsupervised computer terminal since about 1980 or 81, in PoliSci 1001. That corner it is just around never manages to get here, and I agree with Smitty, it never should.
