"That won't be possible except in very few instances." Yes, for fellow lawmakers, friends, relatives, and lobbyists. It is corruption at the core - Free Markets can't exist because the engine is controlled by liars and thieves, and the overseers are sleeping with them. ---- Notice today the news that the Senate/House is LIMITING email getting to them from constituents, supposedly because it was bringing down their servers - which it probably was - so, a glimmer of hope exists that SOMEBODY is listening; the email admins at least. But, instead of fixing it they decided to deny constituent access. Wonderful.

The Natural Laws mean nothing in this....

Sounds like you need the NAS storage solution outlined above, as well as secondary backup.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4853669.ece "Mr Lee said that the film, which follows the fate of four black GIs, was intended “to restore the voice of black soldiers who fought in the war.” He said that “not all Italians admired the partisans", many of whom had fled to the mountains and left civilians to face the Nazis. “I have not invented anything," he declared. However Giovanni Cipollini, the deputy head of the partisans' association Anpi, at the town of Pietrasanta in Tuscany, said that the film was a “false reconstruction” and a “travesty of history". Didala Gherarducci, the secretary of Anpi at Viareggio, said that her husband had died in the massacre, and that she had written to Mr Lee to tell him that his "false" version of events "weighs on my heart like a stone"."

good catch - looking via Google, it seems John has added weasel words to the reports and then quoted them to challenge them - escutcheon abuse - they have pills for that... Google shows only two links using this term - about a boat Called Eco Time in the Bahamas... Look at this image: We call that a Bass boat or a John Boat around here, and it is stored on a trailer in your backyard under a tarp, and is often deployed from locations many miles from any shore. The big boat looks like a lifeboat, no doubt removed from a hijacked vessel.

http://www.watchblog.com/republicans/archives/006208.html "Likewise, the oddest thing about the crisis is how limited it has remained in scope. Some economists say that financial markets are an important indicator of where the real economy is heading. Some economists say that consumer confidence is a vital indicator. Well, stocks have been falling steadily for a year, dwarfing the daily fluctuations. Consumer confidence is nearing all-time lows. But the real economy seems to be healthy! Unemployment is near long-run averages, labor productivity is rising, real wages are rising, and GDP growth is choppy but positive.

Another Kettlerian Grail 'chosen poorly'...

Yes, very easy to do, btw. Fire up a PC with a plugged in USB drive using a Boot CD (Ubuntu works great for this, or UBCD4Win) and you can recover much if not all your data. For the thermally warped, a trip to the freezer often helps.... That Score of HDDs I have - all are 'failed' - which means just a few sectors are failed - and a Complete Reformatting will result in the MBR/FAT being 'told' which sectors are bad, and they won't be used. These are 'shock' failure drives. Some are Catastrophic - as the drive continues to be used, the number of sectors getting hosed increases. For messier HDD recoveries, many tools exist - I like GetDataBack myself. It has worked for me many times, even getting stuff of of Bad Sectors.

Well, it seems they made it up! http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/09/bailout-plan.html "It's not based on any particular data point," a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. "We just wanted to choose a really large number." They made it up to be sufficiently ginormous to frighten everyone into rapid action. ----------------- I figure, at this rate, NO bailout will take place. However, something will be done to suspend or otherwise arrest the bleeding of Main Street - to hell with Wall Street.

Contact Google.

Indeed. I have a score, easily, of old HDDs, converted to Storage via USB using a SATA/IDE to USB converter. With all the HDD I have ever seen fail, they failed early (manufacture defect) (<5%, were dropped (20%), or got over heated (laptops mostly) (75%). In an Enterprise, I've seen a few SCSI drives fail after thousands of hours of work, and most I can reasonably trace to a sudden power event.

"Someone needs to improve the quality of reporting then" This would end News As We Know It!

Since Mortgages are the core problem, why not help DIRECTLY the borrowers? The one idea I have heard that I liked was to help out the financial institutions on the mortgages, but with a requirement they renegotiate the mortgages and freeze the values - and that every tax dollar spent on this creates taxpayer ownership in the institutions.

I shall agree on USB Hard Drives; the BEST solution. Stay away from the minis based on laptop drives; go for something meaty based on Western Digital, like a Laci EHDD.

So, Affirmative Action (in this case, Affirmative Lending) has finally reached up and bit us in the ass...

PEM? Psychic Earthbopping Machismo?

Journalism isn't Rocket Science, ya know...

Facts and Data Do no apply One iota For Psychics Lie ======= LPCP Said; "Alas for you! Your best, most ingenious and insidious efforts to get me to make the fatal slip have failed!" Does that not read like a comic book arch criminal talking too much before he tries to dispatch the hero?; like the Riddler vs Batman....

Again, John, READ CAREFULLY: Jons offered up two choices as possibilities; he did not actually label you either. Besides, you have an option you have invoked before; suck it up and ignore those points you do not like, as you do with your version of the 'truth'. You've proven great ability at ignoring or omitting counter factual to your views and prophetic need; why can't you do it in these cases? Why are you so afraid of us? Are we close to making you crack out of your glass house?

"Members agree, through use of this service, that this Forum will not be used to post any material which is knowingly false" Well, there ya go; been breaking commandment 1 for frickin' ever, Herr Kettler.

Squirrel Logic....

Yes, no good name to destroy in this matter - in this you are full of yourself, Herr Kettler. Besides, read what I post, will you? Did I call you a liar? No; I said you spread lies, 'your lies', but not that were you a liar. You subscribe to lies, and you seem to passionately believe them; so to you they are not lies, and that makes you no liar; but they are lies you use as facts...understood? Your believe system is lunacy; your sources push lunatic dreams, but I have not called you a loon, have I, in the post you respond to? No, just staitng opinion - no one has handed me tablets from the mountain top on this, so they are hardly edicts. No, I just stated my opinion, my righteous and for me absolutely true believe that your earth shaking and conSPAM is a house of sham - and indeed, I have an opinion that is mine on this, so back off and leave me alone, will you? My Personal Reality you threaten each day as my being ignorant and blind; which from your world of distorted (my opinion) perception is the case - who is the boorish one? I say you are, sir. You continue to push here weird science and bizarre speculation of things that saine people I know dismiss as rantings of the deranged, or the jokester - and those are my opinions and are shared by others. So, to continue to challenge our perceptions base on apocraphyl heresay, reinforced with shotgun 'logic' and a deluge of words, well constructed on what I believe is a foundation of fantasy is trolling; bullying of the intellect - parade of dishonest shcolarship that challenges us to disprove that which is not even close to being proveable. I challenge you sir to my honor my opinions on the common sense, observable, reality based world and consider for a time that perhpas, and in all likely hood, you are as wrong as anyone could be on these matters. Just becuase you are on the fringe does not entitle you to Holy Status as to your self and beliefs. It is my opinion you are completely off your rocker OR that you are a monumental clown pulling our collective legs for 7 years now, and that is an opinion I am entitled to, that you CANNOT prove to be incorrect, and that I am as entitled as you say you are to yours. I am troubled by your continued insults of us for all you post about things that are wildly off the mark; they are harming my good name, and I would ask you to stop, but it will do no good. So, please, continue, for there are those out there who laugh in your general direction, and enjoy oh so well. ANd, I bet you cannot prove a single phyiscal law or the lack of its existence, nor can you honeslty say that I am 100% wrong on any of this; for our wolrd views are all wrong, for we are all limited in our understanding, but in my heart, in my opinions, in my world view, the things you sell here are dangerous snake medicine that harm and offer no help to anyone, except perhaps for calming the inds who those who cannot believe in Occam's Razor ot the Ture Physical World I honor and believe in. Go ahead, try to prove it; you cannot. You cannot win, you cannmot be correct, you cannot be harmed by my world perception, nor can I by yours, for mine is real, and yours is fact deficient. All my opinion, and shared by billions, and .... My God - a WEB SPIDER by GOOGLE makes this a Global Library of Congress Research Web Site?????? Can I have some of what you are smoking, Cheech?

I like PETA; People that Eat Tasty Animals...

There is another possibility - has he gone over any Verizon monthly limits? I don't use Verizon (Road Runner for me), but I have read about Verizon having a 5 GB per month limit, that when exceeded, results in DSL becoming modem speeds.
