About users. Yes, some are clueless and should not have a computer but on
average most users get blindsided at least once. Security lives and dies by
keeping that locked down.
P2P software: My experience in a federal position taught me that P2P should
only be used by or under control of IT and or Software Engineering
personnel. There is little need at the user level for configuring client
software. If the correctly configured client cannot be modified then the P2P
network is secure. May be more secure than older methods like "secure FTP".

Ad effective? Sales increase? The ad did change my wife's mind when the Dove ad got her thinking about replacing Old Spice. There it is, "smell like a man" wins over "soft skin". The soft approach implied dainty, Still have my Old spice.
The 'ol pattern matching & useless data exclusion trick
Started at this story http://techdirt.com/articles/20100119/0404397812.shtml
and I must say rejecting useless data makes sense. I am by nature a very good pattern matcher too. Thought it was a skill refined by years of reading debug screens (hexdumps). Maybe I was good at it because it was a natural ability.
When people tell me the tricks they use to remember, say a pin number, I don't see how they do it. An example: I recall such things as the sequence of digits, not a set of button locations on the keypad. Interesting article by the way.
real key to intelligence is better forgetting rather than better remembering
I will read the article after this comment. I find most people I make this statement to are puzzled by it, "You have to learn to dump things that clutter your thinking.". It is something I do easily and it has some negative as well as positive social side effects. Mostly due to the content that gets dumped; holidays, birth dates, what happened in 1983, what world disaster happened when and so on. Sort of things my calendar or google can tell me if and when needed. In a technical area anything Mac Help stores I don't, unless it is important to task at hand.
You got it - looked like test data. Too clean. Interesting thing PACER. No subscription? One would have to walk in to get ask for the stuff. Just an observation.

Was hoping that critter would draw attention. Really! Seeing a blue dancing Hippo at that hour means bad drugs or a con; they where that transparent.
Funny how this week is "bait n switch" report week here and in the EU. Popular wallpaper,ringtone con netted 17 closed web sites per EU TV. CSPAN not to be out done had Cyber [War] talking heads on. That panel addressing World Affairs[?] Counsel, slipped in crime by cyber means.
Everyone on the planet hold hands and say, "I am the firewall, as you are the firewall, and as you are me; we stand together."
And don't get distracted by '9 million dollar cyber bank robbers' con.

Was going to be rash but instead I am thanking Mike for including all of the story. Went to Palmer's youtube page and cranked the sound up. She is a musician 1st, singer 2nd to my ears ["girls want to have fun". Cover; video track]. Not my style of music but it is a popular style. And like those other pop singers out in country she will get a big following.
The listener pool her music is marketed to is going to buy stuff. She is new & the fact she is looking at other revenue methods is good. Record label did it's marketing job and putting advance money out is like book deals; some are better than others.

Hi, the essay comments where the last straw. It was as if Borg command center sent the register and add something order. Resistance is not futile when our rights and wallet are at stake.
The ".. CISAC, a copyright collection society held its "World Copyright Summit," .." is really laughing at everyone. All you need to read is one (1) short press note that has very little hard data -- it is slightly more than a Tweet and less than a proper report. OK, I am being too harsh; it is a good article. Talking compensation? The record labels and radio marketing "tit-for-tat" agreements have stolen more real money from artists than anyone and the following link is just the basics. Everyone should read Title 17 Cir 92 Chapter 1 (start at 106, 107, 114, 115 if lazy) and Chapter 5 (501 ) http://www.houstonpress.com/2009-06-04/music/fight-for-your-right/1
Oh yeah, par-tay CISAC with our money because the customer always pays the tab.
