How about, instead of electing yet another harvest of gray-haired hand-shakers who have no interest in office other than the cost of their influence and vote… instead of letting the reins of power stay in the hands of a group of people who have so thoroughly corrupted their offices… and instead of simply handing the power of office back to yet another generation of partisan hacks of either color…

***End Quote***

Candidates that don’t sign the small government pledge, don’t get my vote.

TECH: Why can’t I lock my desktop icons the way I want them?

Thursday, October 19, 2006

Microsoft rewrites them anytime they make a significant change. That seems anytime they feel like it. It’s annoying. It wastes time.

Isn’t This Supposed to be Fun?

The Rutgers Libertarians had a lot of fun at our anti-drug war brownie giveaway. We got 120 individually-wrapped brownies from a wholesale club. To each of them we attached a pro-liberty message:

  • You own yourself.
  • You ALONE have the right to decide what to put in your body.
  • The War on Drugs is harmful to the liberty and safety of people worldwide.
  • The Libertarian Party has opposed drug prohibition since its founding.

I love it. I didn’t know that there were “L”s at RU. They better escape the “Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee” at their first opportunity. I’d suggest the Free State Project in NH.

TECH: GOOGLE SEARCH has a strategic flaw

Thursday, October 19, 2006

When I went to look up an obit for a fellow alum, I wanted to find the funeral home’s site and see what it had to say. You can’t do it.

You get overwhelmed with sites that have stories that use their name, as well as, what I will call scraper sites that have created “listings”. Those so called listings don’t point to the underlying real site.

Hmmm?

JOBSEARCH: LinkedIn … could use some GIS … so why not LINKEDIN … ZIPCODE

LINKEDIN … ZIPCODE

Vincent,

As the Lord High Poobah of the LinkedIn XXX Yahoo Group genre, if you would like to create a LinkedInBYZipcode, LinkedIn08824, and LinkedIn08054. then I’d be happy to “help”. Consistent with the high standards I’ve seen in the three groups I frequent, I promise to (1) be kind to the clueless; (2) be firm with the rule breakers; and (3) obsessively thankful for you showing me how to get some value out of LinkedIn.

Respond if you think it’s a good idea. And, where can we get those snazzy linkedin badges.

?

JOBSEARCH: but I do say that you never find the last typo …

Unqualified Enthusiasm

This was sent to me by a friend who works at an advertising agency. They have a job opening in their research department, and they received this email cover letter along with a resume from someone applying for the job (I have removed the names and email addresses of the people involved, everything else is word for word):

<extra stuff deleted>

I’m able to use a computer (sending this email is proof) and I work well with others. Another one of the benefits I bring to the table is I never have a problem with customer service. I have returned many items with no to little questions asked. I must have one of those faces people trust. I don’t cook, so most of the meals I eat are cold, and raw… so sushi is cool too.

What a hoot! But, it’s probably fake. Everyone has spel chekers!

TECH: PRINTERALL has a small flaw

Thursday, October 19, 2006

If you print a document and ask for multiple copies, then PRINTERALL only produces one copy.

Interesting.

TECH: You can “vampire” LINKEDIN …

Thursday, October 19, 2006

My profile is on LinkedIn at:

http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=214231

…

if you want to play pick a new friend at random

…

Pick a number!

Put it at the end of the following string:

http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=

… and meet your new friend!

How long before a bot master discovers this and “sucks” linkedin dry.

Zoominfo did it with the public inet. Why couldn’t a bad guy do it with this “semi-private” data source?
