I like to have a partition of the hard drive for “my” data. Stuff I create and back up. Done it lots of times before. Tried it last night and now the pig won’t boot. Argh!

What An Individual Chooses To Do, They Are Responsible For
by Curt Howland
***Begin Quote***
Bad people can even kill some 3000 others in one action using only little knives and airplanes. And like the students and teachers at Virginia Tech, the passengers and crew on those airplanes were helpless in the face of a few little knives, because they were disarmed.
***End Quote***
I think this catches the essence of the problem. A gun is the equalizer. By prohibiting them, the Gooferment is condemning you to death. If then the Gooferment can remove enough guns from the civil society, then they can start the death camps with impunity. What ARE you gonna do about it? With what — bare hands?
When they come thru my door to take away Fat Old White Guys, they may lose one or two thugs. If that happens a few times, then they may have a hard time recruiting thugs.

LIBERTY: Knock off Catholic schools
Sunday, April 22, 2007http://www.lewrockwell.com/ostrowski/ostrowski82.html
You Are Cordially Invited to a Guerilla War
by James Ostrowski
***Begin Quote***
The government school system is finally beginning to realize its original mission: to knock off Catholic schools. The nuns and brothers had fought the good fight for 150 years. Without reinforcements, Catholic schools, with one-half of all private school students, are in deep trouble.
***End Quote***
I am amazed that parents send their children to public school. Thirteen years later, they “graduate” and you won’t know them. Where do they pick up the drivel? Yup, gooferment skool.
Have a conversation with one of them and you won’t believe your ears.
Some can’t form a coherent sentence. Others have no idea of math, history, or science. And, politics? Don’t even go there.
It’s all very sad and doesn’t portend well for us as a nation, a society, or as people.

Public Wi-Fi may turn your life into an open notebook
Don’t assume wireless hot spots are secure.
‘Sniffers’ may be hacking nearby.
By David Colker, Times Staff Writer
April 22, 2007
***Begin Quote***
Cheung was using a “sniffer” program that intercepted online signals as they flew back and forth from the laptops to a wireless modem hidden somewhere amid the coffee paraphernalia.
***End Quote***
That’s why if I have to use a public wifi, I use GOTOMYPC to “go home” and surf from there. It encrypts everything between my home desk top and my notebook. If I’m on an internet cafe’s machine, I assume there is a key logger in place.

(CBS) NEW YORK A controversial new plan is about to be implemented to improve the quality of life in New York City.
This weekend Mayor Michael Bloomberg is expected to introduce an $8.00 congestion fee for drivers who enter Manhattan below 86th Street.
***End Quote***
What nonsense.
There are no details, but one can be sure their will be a skew of new government jobs. Collection will be a nightmare. If they want to speed traffic, enforce the laws they have already. what stupidity.
Since all the cops, firemen, and bureaucrats drive in, and illegally park, does it apply to them?
P.S.: My Luddite friend insisted I blog about this. I thought it was just more “barbara streisand” and really not worth wasting electrons on. We’ll see.

I would like a kool name, javascript, and some ads to make millions from my loyal readers. (All 6 of them!)
Seriously, I currently redirect from http://www.reinkefaceslife.com and, while I could pay WordPressDotCom to “domain” me, I don’t see the value. Perhaps, I too need to bite the bullet and go host it elsewhere? But if I go thru the effort, then I need to see a big payday. Or at least some payoff. Sigh,

N.C. Clerk Wins $200,000 by Mistake
Apr 20 11:01 AM US/Eastern
***Begin Quote***
CONOVER, N.C. (AP) – A store clerk’s slip-up at the cash register has paid off big time.
Wadburn Allen on Tuesday accidentally rang up two duplicate Powerball tickets for a customer in this western North Carolina town. At the end of the day, after she was unable to sell the second ticket, Allen paid for it herself.
The next day, Allen returned to the store and found the ticket matched all five numbers—earning her a $200,000 jackpot.
***End Quote***
REMEMBER, remember, back in March when there was the big powerball jackpot. And, I wasted the two bucks buying the clerk’s “mistake”, Here it is! I’m telling you, if I hadn’t bought that mistake Mister Murphy (of Murphy’s Law fame) would have smacked me upside the head. As it was, he decided no lesson was required. Argh!
Here’s my post. http://tinyurl.com/24o7w7 Score one for blogging!
How do you think that customer felt sharing the jackpot with the “mistaken” clerk?

LIBERTY: “illegals” will still pour through.

***Begin Quote***
You could station a sentinel along every mile, and “illegals” would still pour through. Add to that the Pacific coast, the border with Canada, and the imaginary line all these antis focus on, between Mexico and the United States, and eventually it will dawn on you that the only way to keep America secure is by (A) abolishing the welfare state, (B) enforcing the Second Amendment, and (C) running a strictly non-interventionist foreign policy. Every one of those measures is sensible and easy, but they’re career-enders for politicians and their hangers-on.
***End Quote***
I don’t see separating the Gooferment from Education and honest money.
Maybe it’s in there somewhere. I’m sure LNS would get to it soon after polishing off the other three! ;-(

Inclusion is good for business
***Begin Quote***
Merrill now strives for diversity of thought, believing it will lead to innovation, growth and competitive advantage. Most of the writers about innovation also stress diversity of thought as a powerful source of innovation.
***End Quote***
Hey, I love Kent’s blog. And, he was kind enough to mix it up with me about my opinions on Merrill Lynch. It was sort of like watching the samurai carve up the turkey. Feathers every where.
Bottom line: It was interesting and educational.

YAHOO ANSWER: Unknown mortgage? Sure possible.
Friday, April 20, 2007*** begin quote ***
Can someone take out a mortgage on your home without you knowing?
I got a phone call, left on answering machine, talking about a mortgage. I do not have a mortgage on the home . I am just worried that someone could fraudulently get a mortgage on my home. With people stealing identities how easy would it be?
*** end quote ***
ABOSLUTELY! One of the first indications of identity theft is when strange debts are recorded to “you”. In fact. there’s a horror story cited below. There’s a reason that most credit experts advise that you check your reports as often as you can. That’s discovery of bad things before they go to far. My credit card issuer verifies all purchase more than X dollars with a follow up call. Sometimes annoying but worthwhile. Depending up your state, you can get some reports for free, block access to your “identity” with a password, or other things that come with your location. As a NJ Notary, I am very sensitive to fraud. A notarized power of attorney is gold to a fraudster. I’d suggest that you guard your signature. I use one on “financial” documents and another as a throw away. That is when I charge at Home Depot, I use “fjreinke”. When I open a bank account, I use my full name “ferdinandjreinke”. It’s a little trick but I like it. Also, never use the same password everywhere. Also, when you give answers to security questions, lie. You have to remember your lies, but that a small price. I’d love to see the scammer’s face when he answers the security question “what’s your wife’s name” and gets told the right answer is the wrong one!
