That's why Ponzi schemes work, because whoever is running it has a (usually) lengthy track record, with people you personally know, who has made a lot of money for the investors. The more you check it out, the less risk there appears to be. People are just looking for a safe place to invest...

The drone is owned by the Mexican government, and is operated by the Ministry of Public Security. It was following a target at the time of the mechanical malfunction which caused it to crash approximately 1/3 to 1/2 mile inside the US border. The Orbiter Mini UAV is designed by the Yavneh...

If you did something that would cause them to be out to get you, you're not paranoid, you're realistic. I just think it's ironic that he was speaking to reporters in the grounds of the house he wanted to be kept secret so he could keep a low profile and be left alone while out on bail...

Once you post anything to Facebook, having no control over it is putting it mildly. Whatever you post there becomes the property of Facebook forever. They can, and will, do whatever they want to with it. Even if you delete the stuff, and your account, whatever you've posted still belongs to...

A lot of truck washes have vacuums at the entrance to the bays, too.

I casually mention something, in a nondescript manner, which reveals nothing, in order to show admiration and respect for RLENT, and now I'm breaking the rules? Really? Because of the hacking (which wasn't as bad as some have done), and those who I associated with, I'm not going to fully "out"...

"Actually, that's just a generality... " Ya think? In any case, I think it's a case of not recognizing sarcasm. Of course the rest of the world doesn't hate us, and it's absurd to make such a blanket statement and actually mean it. It's a joke, man. It's a sarcastic joke of absurdity, just...

I first read that and thought you were talking about the two most recent years, this one and last year. You know, the two years Obama has been in charge, well, since Obama has blamed Bush for everything as it is. :D

The Bold and the Beautiful. The rest of the world hates us, so whatever anyone can do to take us down a notch gets them all giddy. Any polling would likely reveal that.

No, even without a good familiarity of him, your tendency is right. He's a whackjob, extreme left fringe, and if you saw any of his movies you'd know he has no problem in manipulating, twisting, or fabricating the truth for his own agenda. Of course, that doesn't make him evil, just a whackjob...

Armchair pop psychology? Hardly. Question answered above. Other than my own observations and experiences with the same group of hackers that Assange interacted with on Usenet, no, there's no real definitive evidence for any of my opinions. Just like your analysis lacks real definitive evidence...

I used to be a hacker myself, and ran in the same circles as Assange, tho I did not actually know him other than for his posts on Usenet. Hacker names and how they come about is well known to other hackers. Hackers are proud of how they come up with their names, and pick and choose names for...

In Nashville, picking up a load at 0400 going to Niles, MI. Looks like I-65 between E-town and Louisville is a skating rink. Lovely.

Here's the deal, and what the analysis at RLENT's link points out so well. Ultimately, Assange and Wikileaks is not about leaking information, per se, it's about fighting conspiracies. He has two core assumptions, at least according to the analysis, and it's essentially true, albeit not quite...

Knowing full well that I'm about to sound like a jag, "must of" isn't necessarily "must have," but rather "must've". "Must have", when spoken, oftentimes becomes phonetically and literally "must've," which sounds like "must of". Same thing happens with "could've," would've," and "should've"...

Message relayed, received, promptly ignored. He's on a load to the Great White North, will be 12 hours or more before he can empty it. I'd empty it for him, but he won't give me his EO password.

You gonna run an 8" Makita and a microwave at the same time? :D Make sure you fuse it right before it hits the battery. A good ANL can be used, a Class-T is preferred. Use thicker wire than might be indicated for the current load, to minimize the voltage drop that occurs for longer cables. 10...

There are carriers which do not require CDL's for van drivers, but require a DOT physical just the same. Twice a year is excessive, but it comes from vehicle breakdowns while under load, and requiring excessive inspections will reduced that, or so the thinking goes. But DOT inspections for...

A very wise man once said, quit trying so hard to be offended. If you can't laugh at the past, including your own, you've got bigger problems than just a lack of a sense of humor. People make mistakes. Live, learn, laugh.
