JOBSEARCH: SFYG (updated formula)

Monday, June 20, 2011

Once again fine tuning the SFYG formula based on input and discussions.

(1) Reduce it to 5 ± 2.

(2) Put action verbs into the points.

(3) Try to make it relevant.

Here it is.

Success for your generation is:

(1) develop ruthless financial discipline — no bad debt — no credit cards like Dave Ramsey says;

(2) create a life long interest in learning — pick up a degree along the way — they can’t take it away from you;

(3) get a NON-OFFSHORABLE white collar job in order to save big bux;

(4) learn a blue collar skill for hard times — never saw a poor plumber;

(5) make one or more internet based businesses where your store is always open from a free time hobby that generates income; (6) build a large well-maintained network of people who can and will “help” you — it’s not numbers on Facebook or LinkedIn — it’s real people who connected with your needs; and

(7) find your soulmate. The boy or girl who rocks your socks, is a better person than you are, and makes you a better person. You might be able to make it without one, but it’ll be much harder. May well be impossible. Marry ’em and forsake all others. Have lots of children; if you can’t, “borrow” everyone else’s. They are your legacy.

Even if you disagree with my formula, you have to have your own. Whatever it is, have one. Of course, you can share yours, argue with mine, or just ignore the whole thing.

RANT: Interesting Muslim attitude?

Egyptian Shaykh: ‘When I Want A Sex Slave, I Just Go To The Market And Choose The Woman Like And Purchase Her’
Posted by Al Mutarjim Jun 12th 2011 at 8:14 am

*** begin quote ***

Do you understand what I’m saying? Spoils, slaves, and prisoners are only to be taken in war between Muslims and infidels. Muslims in the past conquered, invaded, and took over countries. This is agreed to by all scholars–there is no disagreement on this from any of them, from the smallest to the largest, on the issue of taking spoils and prisoners. The prisoners and spoils are distributed among the fighters, which includes men, women, children, wealth, and so on.

When a slave market is erected, which is a market in which are sold slaves and sex-slaves, which are called in the Qur’an by the name milk al-yamin, “that which your right hands possess” [Qur’an 4:24]. This is a verse from the Qur’an which is still in force, and has not been abrogated. The milk al-yamin are the sex-slaves. You go to the market, look at the sex-slave, and buy her. She becomes like your wife, (but) she doesn’t need a (marriage) contract or a divorce like a free woman, nor does she need a wali. All scholars agree on this point–there is no disagreement from any of them.

*** end quote ***

One has to wonder how ½ the population of these countries put up with this slavery?

Women need to stand up for their rights.

TECHNOLOGY: iCloud; no silver lining?

Why the iCloud Won’t be My Cloud
Author: Stephen Lee
Published: June 16, 2011 at 5:29 pm

*** begin quote ***

Talk of “cloud computing” and “cloud services” has been in the air for years, but (despite the remaining ambiguity in the minds of consumers) recent developments have garnered a little more of the consumer electronics limelight for this burgeoning technology.

*** end quote ***

While the jury is still out, I’m beginning to have a lot of concerns:

(1) Control

Apple’s stuff is aligned with Apple’s interest not just mine. Look at how it can dump stuff and change stuff willy nilly. The big argument against ANY “cloud service” is that you, the end User and PAYING Customer, can’t depend upon it staying the same.

(2) Music

Apple is at peace with the RIAA. That’s a concern! All this “service” on any music you have? And, of course, it would never report pirates to the Empire. Can’t you see the “possibilities”? (I envision subpoenas to ISPs coordinated by “iSnoop” to prove that someone bit torrent in a particular music file followed by “service” of lawsuits.)

<<to be continued>>

# # # # #

http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/06/19/1434211/Will-Capped-Data-Plans-Kill-the-Cloud

*** begin quote ***

With the introduction of its Chromebook, Google is betting big on the Cloud. As is Apple, with its iCloud initiative. So too are Netflix and Skype. Unfortunately, their very existence is threatened by data-capping carriers, who have set a course to make sure that the network is NOT the computer.

*** end quote ***

(3) Unlimited / Ubiquitous Connectivity

Clearly the assumption is as much as you want from where ever you are. Not necessarily a good assumption. Or an inexpensive one.

POLITICAL: Weiner’s woes

Saturday, June 18, 2011

Wiener woes:

(1) Sexting to one or more willing and / or unwilling partners.

(2) Claimed to have been hacked.

(3) Lied.

(4) May have covered it up.

# – # – #

There may be a felony or a few in all this.

It’s been alleged that (a) at least one of the sextings was unsolicited. (2) it’s reported that it was done from a Federal location. (3) Federally paid staffers or contractors were offered by the Congressman and used by at least one of the participants. (4) conspiracy? (The legal catch all that nails people!)

Aside from the morality, it’s always the lying and the cover up that “kills” these sleezeballs.

And, if they are all busy covering their butts, they’ll be too busy to “fix” the problems. Their “fixes” are usually always worse than the original problem.

Imagine how fast this would have died if he’d said: “Yes, I did it. I’m embarrassed. I was drinking with my staff celebrating <insert some excuse> and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Upon reflection it was dumb. Now I’m going to address our young people. Don’t create digital dirt. And just like no one should drink and drive. No one, even Congressmen and women, should drink and text. I’m sorry I was so dumb and blind to the impacts of this. It won’t happen again.”

Scandal would have had NO “legs”. And, Arnold and the maid would have been back on center stage.

# # # # #

TMZ reported:

“TMZ obtained the pics Weiner took of himself using his Blackberry and a mirror. Congressional sources have confirmed with TMZ … the backdrop is indeed the House Members Gym in the basement of the Rayburn House Office Building.”

So does that add another count of misuse of federal facilities? And, why are we paying for gym for these sleezes? I don’t have paid for gym, do you?

Two hours of TV a day increases chances of dying before 65

*** begin quote ***

The activity – or rather the inactivity – raises the odds of developing Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, say scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health in the US.

They believe television compromises health in two ways.

Firstly, it gets in the way of more healthy pastimes – those that involve physical movement.

Secondly, people tend to consume more junk food and drink while viewing.

Hmmm, will I make it?

SOFTWARE: LibreOffice 3.3.3 is ready for download

Thursday, June 16, 2011

LibreOffice 3.3.3 is ready for download

The Document Foundation announces the availability of LibreOffice 3.3.3, a new release of the most stable version of the free office suite for personal productivity, targetingcorporate users. LibreOffice 3.3.3 is already available for download at the following address: http://www.libreoffice.org/download.

According to Thorsten Behrens, a developer and member of the TDF Steering Committee, “LibreOffice 3.3.3 fixes several bugs and improves the security of the suite, to specifically address the needs of corporate deployments, where stability is more important than new features. This branch will be maintained until the end of the year, to allow a smooth and safe transition to LibreOffice 3.4.x.”

LibreOffice 3.3.3 is available for Windows, MacOS X and Linux (DEB and RPM), in over 100 different languages (more than twice the language coverage of comparable proprietary products). Users of LibreOffice 3.3.2 are invited to update their software.

RANT: “Justice”, marriage, and licensing

Wednesday, June 15, 2011

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_GAY_MARRIAGE_TRIAL?
SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-06-14-03-07-03

Gay judge’s same-sex marriage ruling upheld
By LISA LEFF Associated Press

*** begin quote ***

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge has a message for those trying to salvage California’s gay marriage ban: Sure, the judge who threw out the measure last year is in a long-term relationship with a man, but he could still be fair to them.

Chief U.S. District Court Judge James Ware’s ruling Tuesday rejected arguments that former Chief Judge Vaughn Walker would potentially benefit from declaring the ban unconstitutional.

*** end quote ***

Sure, and you expected “justice” from a Gooferment court.

Then why was the judge’s home life kept secret?

You know that if it had been “out”, it would have been all over the press.

I “don’t have a dog in this fight” because as a little L libertarian I tout that the Goofermentshould have NO role in marriage.

Ann Coulter was on O’Reilly last night blathering about how “marriage has thousands of legal consequences” as if that justifies Gooferment intrusion into marriage.

Circular reasoning!

Gooferment “gives” marriage financial benefits, therefore it must “regulate” marriage.

The only reason we are in this problem is the racist “marriage license” laws in the first place.

Prior to the Welfare / Warfare state, when taxes were low and government didn’t intrude, there was no need for a Gooferment “license”!

Ron Paul said it in the Tuesday night Republican Presidential debate, leave marriage to the Churches and the People.

Unless it’s about control and plunder.

Argh!

If the Gooferment wants, let it treat the “family” as a Subchapter S corporation. Them’s that want to be a Gooferment corporation and get tax benefits of such “incorporation”, let them volunteer.

Of course, that would highlight the Gooferment trying to pick winners and losers by bribing them with taxpayer money.

And why do we allow that and let them pander to the electorate that they are “pro-famiiy”?

“We, The Sheeple”

FLASH: 2 US soldiers killed in southern Iraq

US military: 2 US soldiers killed in southern Iraq
Jun 14, 6:47 AM (ET)

*** begin quote ***

BAGHDAD (AP) – The U.S. military says two American soldiers have been killed while conducting operations in southern Iraq.

Tuesday’s statement didn’t give details on the operations, saying only the two were killed Monday. They were not identified pending notification of next of kin.

The new deaths bring to 4,462 the number of American service members who have died in Iraq since the war began in 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

And it brings to eight the number of U.S. troops killed in June so far.

VETERANS: WASPS were trailblazers

Tuesday, June 14, 2011

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/06/06/overdue-recognition-for-woman-af-pilot

Overdue Recognition for Woman AF Pilot

*** begin quote ***

WII Women Air Force Service Pilot (WASP) 1st Lt. Elaine Harmon didn’t join the military for recognition but she certainly earned it. Harmon was one of the 1,074 women pilots who flew non-combat missions in the U.S. in order to free their male counterparts for overseas combat missions.

She knew the WASPS were trailblazers. “It was a man’s world, but we were doing what was needed for the war effort,” Harmon said. “My mother was dead set against it.”

*** end quote ***

I had the interesting experience of meeting a WASPS when I was a child. OK, a tween. But as most people, I was oblivious. I didn’t listen. Nor ask questions. And, no, I didn’t even take notes. I was OBLIVIOUS. Argh!

And, the way she minimized it, I didn’t think it was important. If a man was telling the story, you’d have thought he won the war single handedly.

That’s why I, a fat old white guy injineer, am a “feminist”. Woman need to be free to do what ever THEY think is important. And, while nothing is as fragile as a male ego, “we”, “We, The People”, need to allow them to do it.

Just like in WW2, we can’t afford the luxury of binding the hands of half our population. Just like we can’t afford racial discrimination!

Aside from the fact that such discrimination is immoral, it’s also ineffective and inefficient.

We need EVERYONE working towards the Common Good.

It’s just pure selfishness. I want everyone making life better for everyone.

Argh!

Why do women allow such foolishness to go on?

Sure, they made their mistakes — giving women the right to vote brought us Prohibition and Organized Crime — but they fixed that one. They still haven’t fixed “war” yet, but men haven’t been doing so well on that one yet either.

We need their “contributions”!

(I’d expect women to hold Congressman Anthony Weiner accountable for the cover up, lying, and some disgusting pics. We’ll see!)

TINFOILHAT: BHO44’s “Dreams”

Sunday, June 12, 2011

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=308781

4 curious errors in Obama’s ‘Dreams’

*** begin quote ***

Obama does not, however, make an unusual number of errors in regards to general knowledge. Let me cite the four such errors I found and explain why they deserve our attention.

Obama misquotes the Carl Sandburg poem “Chicago.” Instead of writing “Hog Butcher for the World,” he writes, “hog butcher to the world.”

In discussing radical anti-colonialist Frantz Fanon, Obama misspells his first name as “Franz.”

Obama refers to the South African city of Sharpeville, the site of a notorious massacre, as “Sharpsville.”

On another occasion, Obama misspells the name of rebel slave leader Denmark Vesey as “Denmark Vescey.”

*** end quote ***

While a pretty small TFH, it is important in my view.

We know that JFK didn’t write Profiles. And, it’s pretty obvious, that BHO44 didn’t write Dreams.

It’s interesting to peer into the souls of the plagiarizer and plagiarizee.

Why would you trust anyone who does that or cooperates in such?

TECHNOLOGY: Preventing malware

Sunday, June 12, 2011

http://advantage-marketingblog.com/2011/06/02/social-media-and-phishing/

Social Media’s Dark Side: Phishing and Scams

*** begin quote ***

Here’s what employees can do to avoid becoming the prey of phishing attacks:

1. Never click on a link or a bookmark which is associated with financial transactions or asks for any sensitive information; instead always manually type the URL in the address bar.

2. Don’t click on links which ask to download ActiveX or software on your system. These could be Trojan/malware which later becomes the control center to remotely control your system and others in the network.

3. Ensure that the site is authentic and using secure layer (https) before providing any sensitive information about yourself or your organization.

*** end quote ***

Good advice for real people as opposed to “employees”.

I’d add “Switch to Open DNS”. It’s free and will prevent you from being “speared” by a “phisher”.

(On a technical note, it does that by preventing your browser from resolving known bad names into ip addresses. Thus, you’ll see the Open DNS “warning screen” with the option “Get me out of here”. It’s not perfect, but another compensating control.)

TECHNOLOGY: A new language service

Thursday June 9, 2011 1:51 PM EDT
NEW POLICE LANGUAGE SERVICE SAVES PERSON

*** begin quote ***

On Tuesday South Brunswick Police used a new language service to help locate a victim suffering a heart attack. At around 10am a woman called 911 from a cellphone seeking help. The dispatcher was unable to determine where the victim was or the problem. The dispatcher connected to a translator through a new program used by South Brunswick Police called Interpretalk. The translator was able to assist the dispatcher with identifying the location of the victim within two minutes of being on the call. When police officers and EMS arrived they found the 49-year-old victim was suffering a heart attack. The victim was taken to a local area hospital and is listed in good condition.

The new translation service – Interpretalk allows dispatchers and police officers to be able to communicate in 157 languages, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The service which has been available to the department since March of 2011 has been used 7 times. Chief Raymond Hayducka said, “Our community is diverse and we want to be able to assist anyone in need. This new tool gives officers and dispatchers another way to get help to people in need in an emergency.” He added, “This case clearly demonstrates the importance of being able to reach out to all aspects of our community.”

The service is used once a dispatcher or officer believes there is a language barrier. The dispatcher contacts Language Sevice Associates who provide the translation. Communication Center Supervisor James Deery said, “We could not understand where the victim was and her being on a cellphone made it more difficult. The service Interpretalk provided was quick and provided the lifesaving measures she needed.”

*** end quote ***

Neat use of technology. From a network perspective, it’s really just a fancy three way calling option. Getting it all set up, agreed to, and paid for that was the heavy lifting. That’s effective use of technology.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: When do you get your “rights”

New Zealand Court: Unborn Children Have No Right to Life
by Steven Ertelt | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 6/1/11 6:00 PM

*** begin quote ***

The New Zealand Court of Appeal has issued a legal decision saying unborn children have no legal rights under the laws in the Pacific island nation. It also ruled on whether the Abortion Supervisory Committee was improperly approving abortions on mental health grounds.

*** end quote ***

“Rights”?

When do you get “your rights”?

The NZ Court seems to feel that when they say you can have them.

There’s another school of thought that says when you can pick up a gun and defend them.

It’s when one of two sides of a conflict have enough power to hurt the other side badly enough, then we have a concession. Enough of those and we have a general acceptance of mutually agree rights.

So, when do you get yours?

And, when do the politicians and bureaucrats agreed to leave you alone?

… when there are enough people in the streets willing to kill and die for the issue.

So what IS that issue that will reverse the Gooferment as the new uncrowned King of all life?

TINFOILHAT: The girl wearing a polka-dotted dress

Friday, June 10, 2011

http://www.maryferrell.org/wiki/index.php/Robert_Kennedy_Assassination

The Robert Kennedy Assassination

*** begin quote ***

THE POLKA-DOTTED DRESS GIRL

Sirhan was seen in the hotel – including in the pantry itself – in the company of a girl wearing a polka-dotted dress. The girl and another male companion were seen running from the pantry after the shooting. RFK campaign worker Sandy Serrano, taking a break out on a balcony, saw them run from the hotel, the woman gleefully shouting “We shot him. We shot him.” When Serrano asked who they meant, the girl replied “Senator Kennedy.”

Unbelievable as this sounds, their behavior was corroborated by LAPD officer Paul Sharaga, who was told the same thing by an elderly couple in the parking lot behind the hotel. Sharaga was the source of an All Points Bulletin (APB) on the suspects. The girl was described consistently by most of the witnesses: dirty blond hair, well-built, with a crooked or “funny” nose, wearing a white dress with blue or black polka-dots.

There were many other witnesses to the polka-dotted dress girl, in the hotel and in the company of Sirhan in the weeks prior to the assassination.
