Comment Re:Great way to impress your girlfriend! (Score 2) 80

Since my divorce I have found my ex-wife did have some redeeming qualities.

She was allergic to gold, it made her break out.

She was allergic to most flowers, especially roses.

She did not like chocolate.

She always had a job

And she, unless physically ill, was always willing and ready to have sex. Even a quickie on her way out the door to work if I desired.

Instead of using mod points I just want to ask you a question.

Does anyone except the most rabid partisans actually believe anything that comes out of a politician mouth?

Hell, if one says he was a crook, I think he is lying about how much he stole, figuring he is angling for a lesser sentence.

I do work for chinese restaurants in my area. And by area, I mean several counties around the city I do most of my work.

Reason I do the work is most companies doing HVAC/R refuse to do work for them

They like to argue on the pricing, complain and then want to stiff you.

I ttook a hard line and have my guy on the roof or on top of the walk-in when I present them the bill.

They want to argue complain or stiff me, I yell, not say, to my guy to take my #*$&#* whatever off we are going and they will just be hot/cold/have spoiled food.

Doesn't take but once and I have no further problems from them.

I usually get my calls from folks in NYC or Chicago, wanting me to go to Golden Wok #4 or Great Wall #2.

Guy below me talking about how inmates are always lying scum etc etc et al, is the problem.

I was working as an SAB counselor within the DOC at the time.

And interfering with COs can be an illegal act, even if they are performing an illegal action at the time.

And they were using the excuse of the prisoner jerking from the shocks as an excuse to beat him, a little get back.

And me and my coworker wrote statements against the officers and for the inmate.

The inmate had disciplinary charges applied and was charged state court for felonious assault and convicted, while the officers had nothing done to them.

If tasers were used to prevent someone from harming themselves or others, then I would be AOK with them.

But they are used as offensive weapons to enforce compliance by most police departments.

And it is so much less paperwork to fill out if you enforce compliance with a taser, as opposed to if you actually had to beat the fucktard's as with your billy club, ASP or baton.

I personally have seen an inmate hit with a taser, and then get beat because he refused to lay stils ordered.

Ignoring the fact that the CO with the taser kept jolting him, which lead to muscle contractions, which lead to four other COs hitting him with 4' long hickory riot batons.

This went on for almost 5 minutes until a Lt showed up, seen me and a co-worker obviously writing down the names of the officers involved.

Got a different password for each of my email accounts, which are different from my social networking sites, which are different from my WoW account.

Plus all my sites are under different email accounts, a separate email account for each site.

Only place I got a concern is fucktarded blizzard which requires you to use your email address as an account name, and the same email address and password on the game, the battlenet account management and on the forums.

Guess a better way to rephrase my question is, how many folks could just carry their passwords written down in their pocket and still be safe?

I read a lot about password security here, and I fail to grasp one basic thing.

How many passwords are "necessary"? In the sense lives or large amounts of money would be lost if they were breached?

How many passwords are more of dutiful "security"?

In a sense, how many passwords do you have, that someone would be willing, capable and likely; to bust your head open and steal the password from your pocket?

I have one important password, to my WoW account (yeah I know...). The rest are unimportant in the grand scheme of life, forums, email, FB, etc.

I don't bank online, or that would be an important one also.

I don't access any of these places other than on my personal computer, or work computer. Both which are located in my home, one in my study and the other in my office.

Amazon has money, lawyers and a bunch of clout. I am figuring the music industry will bite off much more than they can chew if they go to court on this.

Especially in a jury trial, since the average person will have difficulty understanding why these music bigwigs are trying to force Amazon to pay a fee in order to allow folks to listen to their own music.

Once the Amazon lawyers make clear that all they are doing is the same thing as an external hard drive, the music industry is fucked.
