this is a weak response. I was hoping someone would drop the fact that Randall previously made a joke about how stupid tautologies are, and then went and made it the only punchline of this comic.ReplyDelete
though admittedly there isn't much to say here, really no one has made any effort here

I can see where Randall wanted to go with this one, and whatever being might be in charge of this universe help me for it. However, he failed as per usual.ReplyDelete
Also, just to point out, if those two knew they were playing with Indian bones, without knowing it was an "Ancient Indian Burial Ground," then they're some pretty astute anthropologists.

can we start talking about how #783 is bad yet? yes? yes? good.ReplyDelete
jesus christ randall, your creative process behind this comic is as transparent as the comic itself is terrible. ps: the comic is terrible. there's probably a math joke involving inverse proportions somewhere in there but making boring math jokes is your hobby. there's probably a "my hobby" joke somewhere in the previous sentence, and there's definitely another boring math joke involving recursive joke fractals but i'm verging on genuinely amusing territory here and must stop to remain on theme. the theme is that your comics suck.
i assume this comic was inspired by real-life events, because you seem like exactly the type of person to find a situation in which someone tries to give you directions to their house memorably vexing. i hope this comic was inspired by real-life events, since if this is the best your muse has to offer, i'll have to expend some of my limited pity supply because that is utterly sad.
so. you wanted to go somewhere, and someone did not directly give you the address, and you found this minor vexation fertile territory from which verdant hilarity might spring. barring that the entire premise is dull. as. fuck, you salted your own earth with a number of that's so randall! mistakes.
1) words words words. brevity is the soul of wit, though in your case i suggest silence. "but," he pleads indignantly, "the entire joke depends on mr. cell phone trying over and over again to get the address, and multiple entreaties are necessary for the punchline to make sense!" which leads me to...
2) actual people do not actually act that way. class, here we have another textbook example of randall trying to twist human behavior to meet his stilted humor. any real person would say "oh, right. my address is ____." that's it. end of joke! but randall finds the concept of having to trick some obstinate retard's address out of them SO HILARIOUS that he conveniently forgets reality, much like he conveniently forgets to tell a joke over 90% of the time.
specimen #783 falls into the RANDALL HAS PET PEEVES category, along with the famously awful "honesty in the media" comic. xkcd is literally littered with instances of stupid, stupid writing that ignores fundamental human interaction to provide shaky support for shoddy punchlines. i know randall twists his panties over "literally vs. figuratively" because he made a terrible comic about that peeve too, but i mean literally because xkcd is trash. i'm sure there are plenty more in this category, but fuck if i'm willing to brave his comedy graveyard to locate them.
i hope we've learned something today. i know randall hasn't. xkcd today is just as bad as it was last week, or the week before. never since tim buckley has someone so vehemently refused to grow by any artistic standard. his writing ignores age, gender, profession and any other distinction, transforming all his characters into indistinguishable personal mouthpieces. his art has actually gotten WORSE, considering he used to at least try to experiment once in awhile in the early days. and whatever humorous spark he once possessed has been extinguished in a morass of references and horribly constructed situations.
there are plenty of webcartoonists out there who've hit their creative walls and are content to stay that way. jeph jacques is fine drawing differently sized tits on snarky, unlikeable hipsters in his atrocious nudity-free harem manga. "your webcomic is bad and you should feel bad" (R.I.P ;_;) hit scott kurtz' nail on the head when it called PvP "the garfield of webcomics." tim buckley is a goddamn trainwreck. but fuck, randall. at least his art, no matter how terrible, is better today than it was four years ago.
I think it's supposed to make fun of the Indian burial grounds and Indian bone repatriation controversies.ReplyDelete

Okay, I did not want to write this before, but seriously: If someone says that the joke is "the Indian bones are from an Indian burial ground", then he just didn't get the joke.ReplyDelete
Because yeah, there are two interpretations of the comic: One where you have to assume that it's supposed to mean "IN an Indian burial ground", and one where you can just take the comic as it is. In the former, the comic is awful, in the latter, it is pretty good if you know what he's referring to.

marcus: Nah, I'd say GPS is still "geek tech" insofar as a large majority of the population hasn't adopted it, it's somewhat expensive (although I guess the price is dropping p.fast now), and as the anon above me points out, it doesn't necessarily work in every situation. This summer, I personally experienced the awfulness of a GPS system that constantly dropped out in the hills of Tennessee while we tried to find a street leading to a private boulevard marked by a non-reflective sign that you couldn't see from one side of the road.ReplyDelete
I just saw that someone else mentioned it on "yesterday's" thread: the problem with this comic is that it lasts too long. Hey, did I mention I have a GPS? Because I totally have a GPS. Oh, also I have a GPS. Wonder how many times I can work the fact that I have a GPS into this comic? GPS! It's like Randall's equating his technology to his penis size.

i still refuse to agree that 782 has any redeeming features
sure maybe there is something funny in there about the whole "we do not mind that we desecrated indian bones but we are scared because popular culture tells us that the place we got the bones from may have been haunted due to its location over an actual indian burial ground oooooooooh" but there are a few points that need to be addressed here
first this reading gives randall the benefit of the doubt by assuming that he spent more than five minutes working on it or thinking about it which i am pretty sure did not happen
second the dialogue is so fucking stupid that it is basically impossible that the guy would ever understand what the girl was actually saying without asking some sort of clarifying question but i guess the phrasing could be considered unambiguous if all of your characters think exactly the same eh randy seriously the fact that many people do not agree on what the punchline is is generally an indication that the comic is written poorly (it is)
third even if the dialogue were more clear there is even more ambiguity regarding the whole situation because the place they got the bones from is left entirely vague (hence the popular reading that the indian burial ground is simply where they came from in the first place) it basically reads "remember that time we dug up those indian bones [that we apparently knew were indian bones probably because of the location since that is the only logical way we could tell] well it turns out they were on top of a [place where indian bones are typically found]" basically randall tried to get to the punchline with the smallest amount of thought possible so he did not bother implying a real backstory or any of the things that typically make jokes like these funny
if randys actual intention was to poke fun at the divide between what these characters find morally acceptable and their pop culture based superstitions then he probably should have actually called attention to the fact that he was making a pop reference instead of just assuming that readers are not going to come to the (logical) conclusion that this comic is completely pointless and took about ten minutes of total work
given his latest "masterpiece" it is pretty clear randall does not have any problems with over explaining a joke so why he would have left this somewhat complex idea so intentionally vague is a mystery to me unless he did not actually intend it to be read that way and the actual joke is something far less intelligent than you are giving him credit for
whether or not you believe there is a good joke buried in there it is inarguable that randall butchered its communication
now i am done talking about this piece of shit comic can we please move on to the newest abortion

I mean, I didn't giggle or machine-gun laugh because of this comic, but I was mildly amused and continued on with my work that day - which I'm pretty sure is the reason most people consume internet comics.
P.S. It's bad that Randall Munroe puts himself into a regular schedule; he won't have time to think up things that are funny every single posting - might the same logic apply to xkcdsucks?

Hey, this xkcd is pretty good. Undercover's arguments:ReplyDelete
1. It can't be good because you've already decided the author can't do good stuff? I dig your honesty, but that's not something that inspires confidence in your reviewing powers. Anyway, why do you have to spend more than five minutes thinking about something before it's funny?
2. Nothing difficult to understand in the dialogue. Is the word 'over' a tough one? As for people not agreeing: not all people are equally intelligent or pay equal attention. It works OKish even if you misread it, though.
3. Oh no! This joke, that takes five seconds to read, is lacking backstory! Every joke has backstory, right? (Answer: no)

"As for people not agreeing: not all people are equally intelligent or pay equal attention"ReplyDelete
Actually, I'll just add- while that's true, it's not the main point. People interpret things differently. Not agreeing is OK.
Didn't mind this one. With a little tidying and it works - it wouldn't be out of place in a sketch show. It wouldn't be one of the great hits of the episode but it wouldn't be a miss, it got a grin out of me.ReplyDelete
So cut down the intro to:
Rob! Rob! [The running pose and repeated name here shows that something is up, no need to tell us she looks terrified...]
What's wrong?
Remove the bit about puppets, too much detail that doens't add anythign - as has been mentioned.
If it were a tv sketch, a slight pause before "anchient indian burial ground", a longer pause, then the shock and omg.
It could be the nerdy tv tropes readerness but as I said I don't mind this one. More emotive art wouldn't hurt and maybe a blank beat panel before the OMG. Timeing is key here (as with most jokes)

- UndercoverCuddlefishAugust 24, 2010 at 10:01 AM
1: way to read between the lines champ i am sure randall could make something good if he had an editor (or even bothered to edit himself) my point though was that randall has produced enough incoherent bullshit that the simplest explanation for this comic is that it is more incoherent bullshit rather than some misunderstood work of genius
i believe randall is capable of making something good but i am not going to give him the benefit of the doubt in a situation like this one
as for the five minute thing i might just be old fashioned but when your primary source of income is a webcomic that you make three times a week it seems fitting that you should probably put a bit more thought into making sure your jokes are delivered well (also see: stand up comics who tend to refine their jokes over the course of weeks or months many of whom are actually funny)
2: my reading skills are fine thanks for your concern but maybe you (like randall) do not understand the concept of natural sounding dialogue nobody would ever phrase that statement the way the character does it is not a matter of the definition of "over" as human speech tends to favor ease of communication over technical correctness and the concept of something being buried over something else is just awkward
"yeah i buried the bodies over an ancient indian burial ground" makes no sense and neither does the dialogue here
3: "implied backstory" is equivalent to "context" which i argue is necessary in most forms of comedy as the audience needs to know enough about the characters or situation to understand the source of the humor (even subversive jokes require context to mislead audience expectations)
the problem here is that nothing is mentioned about where they actually dug the bones up from in the first place so when she mentions indian bones around an indian burial ground my gut reaction is "where were you expecting them to be"
we do not know how she knows that they were indian bones in the first place so the logical assumption is that she was already aware of the fact that there was an indian burial ground there
you are right in saying that not all people are equally intelligent some of us actually stop to think about why people might phrase things in certain ways and those of us who do are the ones that understand exactly why this comic is awful
but i mean hey it was still a decent attempt at being insulting

Undercover... just saw you replied. I wasn't trying to be insulting- but again, if you happen to come back to this one:ReplyDelete
Points 1 and 2: the problem is it's just not incoherent. Yes, probably no-one's ever spoken like that, but it's a pop culture joke and the characters clearly aren't like normal people. The point is, you don't need to have seen previous examples of 'buried over' because there's nothing difficult about it. The earth is in layers- bury one thing, then bury something else over it. Maybe 'on top of' would be clearer- but I can't see much room for doubt.
3: that's the joke. Presumably it was an indian burial ground- but they didn't care about that. But under that burial ground... was an ancient indian burial ground!
Anyway, I think it's fairly funny.

IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface specification that defines a common, abstract message-based interface to platform monitoring and control functions.
Providing peace of mind to customers, a plug-in module implements IPMI 2.0 technology to provide remote access, monitoring and administration for Viglen server platforms. With this solution, server administrators can view a server's hardware status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle a system that is non-responsive.
How does it work?
IPMI defines the protocols used for interfacing with an embedded service processor. This service processor — also known as Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) — resides on a server motherboard or in the chassis of a blade server or telecom platform. The BMC links to a main processor and other onboard elements via a simple serial bus.
What does it do?
Our management module monitors onboard instrumentation such as temperature sensors, power status, voltages and fan speed, and provides remote power control capabilities to reboot and/or reset the server. It also includes remote access to the BIOS configuration and operating system console information via SOL (Serial over LAN) or embedded KVM capabilities. Because the controller is a separate processor, the monitoring and control functions work regardless of CPU operation or system power-on status.
Key Features
- Event Log
- OS Independent
- LAN Alert-SNMP Trap
- Serial Over LAN (SOL)
- Remote Power Control
- IPMI with KVM Over LAN
- Hardware Health Monitor
- Support RMCP & RMCP + Protocols
- Management Tools – IPMIView, CLI (Command Line Interface)
- VSC 2.0 supports Video Solutions up to 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz
- Virtual Media Over LAN (Virtual USB Floppy/CD and Drive Redirection)
Additional Features
Our solution, the IPMI 2.0 specification, supports Serial over LAN to redirect serial console functionality into IPMI over IP. Administrators can then gain full remote access to text-based system information and control for BIOS, utilities, operating systems and applications. IPMI 2.0 also offers major security enhancements. In summary, our solution includes the following key features.
- Embedded microprocessor providing optional out-of-band KVM capabilities, extending the use of a single keyboard/monitor/mouse to the entire network.
- Enhanced authentication support that provides stronger processes for establishing secure remote sessions and authenticating users.

Republican candidate for New London council pulls out of race
New London — A Republican candidate for City Council has pulled out of the race, saying he never intended to pursue a seat but was holding a place on the slate for a candidate yet to be determined.
Gordon Videll, whose law office is representing the police union president in a suit against the city, was one of seven people nominated by the Republican Town Committee last week. A column last week by The Day's David Collins, questioning Videll's candidacy, reinforced his decision to withdraw, Videll said Tuesday.
Bill Vogel, chairman of the Republican Town Committee, said Videll was a legitimate candidate. The two had been talking about Videll running for City Council months before last week's Republican caucus.
"Gordon came over and interviewed with the nominating committee,'' Vogel said. "My intention was never to have him as placeholder."
Vogel, who is also a candidate for council, said members of the town committee volunteer to hold a place on the ticket. Videll is not a member of the Republican Town Committee, and Vogel said he would not have put Videll's name up for consideration as a temporary fill-in.
"I'm really sad to lose Gordon as a candidate. He's well-informed. He's knowledgeable. He's active,'' Vogel said.
He added that Videll would have been a good councilor because he has questioned some ideas and policies of Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio, a Democrat.
"Gordon would have been very good. It's a big loss to us,'' Vogel said.
Videll's resignation leaves an opening on the GOP ticket, which could be filled by Martin T. Olsen, a former three-term councilor and ceremonial mayor, Vogel said. Olsen fell out of favor with the Republican party when he became ceremonial mayor in 2010 with the help of Democrats. He also was a petitioning candidate for mayor in 2011, challenging the Republican-endorsed candidate Rob Pero.
Olsen was not nominated by the Republicans last week but has been gathering signatures to force a primary. He needs 66 signatures of registered Republicans to primary.
"I don't know what this does for me,'' Olsen said Tuesday when told of Videll's decision to drop out. "I'm still pursuing my petition. I have no idea what the party is going to do."
As of Tuesday, Olsen had obtained 93 signatures but said he would not turn in his petition until he reached 100.
Vogel said the vacancy committee — which is made up of himself, Pero, Adam Sprecace and Michael Doyle — is expected to meet on Saturday to determine what to do next. If no one is selected to fill Videll's spot, Olsen would become part of the GOP slate, Vogel said.
Videll, who did not attend last week's caucus, maintained that he put his name up for nomination to give the party time to "get good people to run." But when he read the opinion piece in The Day, which suggested Videll could have a conflict of interest since his two-person law firm is handling the lawsuit against the city, he pulled out of the race.
The column also "gave the impression I had some disciplinary action that prohibited me from practicing," he said.
"The recent article written by David Collins is the reason good people don't run for office,'' Videll said. "At this point in time, I don't think it would be in the best interest of my family or my business to continue.''
Collins wrote, among other things, that Videll had his law license suspended for 2½ months in 2011 for failure to pay a $110 down payment required of all lawyers for a fund that reimburses victims of theft and misconduct by their lawyers. Videll said he received an administrative suspension after the fee was overlooked and never received a punitive suspension.
"I've never been suspended from practicing,'' he said.
A representative at the Connecticut Judicial Department said with an administrative suspension, an attorney is "not allowed to practice law."
Videll maintains that Collins went out of his way to attack his character because Videll criticized some of Collins' work on a radio talk show.
"Good people, qualified people, don't want to be the subject of personal attacks that have nothing to do with their political views,'' he said.

Doesn't Linux need antivirus and firewall?
Hi there. Are there any antivirus apps for Linux, like there are for Windows? Or maybe Linux doesn't need any such apps? I just got puppy linux, but I am afraid to connect to the net without any security apps running. It does have a firewall of its own, though. Anything I need to download and run along with it?

If you download windows files from the net or music or images and put on a pen drive to share with friends or relatives on Windows computers.
I consider it good manners to run a scan on those files in Puppy linux before putting them on a pen drive and plugging it into their computer.
I have not had any malware issues running Puppy Linux for years though.
Your mileage may vary though.

You may unadvertedly transmit Windows viruses through data files brought in from some Windows system, but in and of itself, Puppy doesn't need anti-viruses, etc. Any Linux is virus-proof, because its structure makes it very complicated to create a virus for it. You can theoretically create viruses for Linux, it's been done in computing labs. But the lab conditions do not exist in the real world.
If you're worried, always boot your Puppy from CD or DVD, and make a double of your pup-save file.
But as the previous poster said, there has never been any report of a virus on PuppyLinux.

Totally, totally wrong!
Any computer program is insecure! You can always find a vulnerability, either in the program itself, a library it is linked against or even the kernel.
Linux isn't virus-proof either, because it's just another piece of software. One buffer overflow vulnerability that allows remote code execution and you're in the system as root - that's more than enough to install a rootkit. Also, Puppy uses an old kernel, traditionally - e.g kernel 184.108.40.206 (as in 5.3.1) has many known vulnerabilities and exploits already exist. I'm pretty sure they even get executed by scanners on many computers around the world as I type these words ... maybe even yours!
"Lab conditions" is a lie - there's no difference between a pristine Puppy image and an installed Puppy - both share the same vulnerabilities, except those present in extra packages, of course.
Also, remember - virus scanners are not enough. They rely on viruses already discovered by data security companies - maybe you have a trojan no company ever found, installed on your "secure" Puppy for years.
The bottom line is simple: protect yourself as much as you can - get a restrictive firewall (e.g an iptables-based one), be careful with stuff you install, always be aware of what you have on your system, install security updates and be responsible for your actions. If there's a very sensitive piece of data you don't want to be stolen from your digital systems - make a carbon copy; write it down and keep it in a safe.
Remember - software is always insecure and there's nothing you can do about this, because it means you'll have to change the human nature.

Linux is less prone to virii and exploits than Windows but the gap is beginning to narrow.
I created a post that has already been somewhat addressed, but I will post it anyway. It may be useful to some.
Puppy is vulnerable to exploits; don't kid yourself. Especially when you use a browser and email client that won't update and you browse as root.
What can you do to improve the situation?
#1 Activate your firewall. Note, this will not prevent browser exploits.
#2 Change your root password.
#3 Use a browser and email client that can update themselves and keep them updated.
#5 Run your browser and email client as a limited user. Not spot.
#6 Install Avast! antivirus for Linux, use it and keep the virus defs current.
You are most vulnerable when browsing. I was recently exploited while using Puppy 5.1, a DOS executable that was found in spot's firefox cache by avast. Yes I have wine and jre installed. I learned my lesson; never accept an expired site certificate even for a trusted site! If you get a popup notice about that, don't touch the popup gui, just close the browser.
Linux may be less prone to exploits, but it is not immune to them, especially an OOTB Puppy.
A quick tutorial for new kids on the block.
How to add a limited user for browsing, named safebrowser, that uses Firefox.
From a console run:
# mkdir /home
# adduser -D safebrowser
Copy .fonts.cache, .fonts.conf, gtkrc* from /root/ to /home/safebrowser/. If you want to use a copy of your bookmarks, preferences and other things copy /root/.mozilla to /home/safebrowser/. Notice that these are hidden files and directory.
Create a script to launch the browser
#! /bin/bash
su safebrowser -c firefox "$@"
Make it executable and drag it to your desktop for a shortcut.
From a console run:
# chown -R safebrowser:safebrowser /home/safebrowser/.*.*
The reason I did not use 'user spot' for this is with all the 'limited user spot' experiments going on in woof lately I feel safer creating my own user.

I don't use a firewall. I use the built in NAT technology in my existing router. The router uses an old version of Linux which is too dumb to be very hackable. (I think)
As for virus scanners, I don't think they have good enough signature files for finding every Linux badware, although they have signatures for lots of badware, mostly Windows badware.
If I were concerned enough about viruses and because I don't think existing Linux anti-virus scanners are good enough, I would defer to making md5sum databases of my key directories.
The utility I would use would be md5deep to make base files to check against. Then run md5sum periodically to see if any files have been added or modified. Looking for files which shouldn't have been added or modified.
Maybe there are scripts written for us to use. If not, scripts to make the task easy could be written.
I think the main problem is that Linux has not suffered enough external compromises or malware to cause enough developer enthusiasm to necessitate building really good and easy to use firewalls and scanners.
Sort of like saying we need some problems in order to make solutions. Maybe a better way of saying what I want to say is; necessity is the mother of invention.
Anyway, not having perfect solutions, here is some information for anyone interested about the feature set of the md5deep program.
md5deep version 3.6 by Jesse Kornblum.
$ md5deep [OPTION]... [FILE]...
See the man page or README.txt file for the full list of options
-p - piecewise mode. Files are broken into blocks for hashing
-r - recursive mode. All subdirectories are traversed
-e - compute estimated time remaining for each file
-s - silent mode. Suppress all error messages
-S - displays warnings on bad hashes only
-z - display file size before hash
-m <file> - enables matching mode. See README/man page
-x <file> - enables negative matching mode. See README/man page
-M and -X are the same as -m and -x but also print hashes of each file
-w - displays which known file generated a match
-n - displays known hashes that did not match any input files
-a and -A add a single hash to the positive or negative matching set
-b - prints only the bare name of files; all path information is omitted
-l - print relative paths for filenames
-k - print asterisk before filename
-t - print GMT timestamp
-i/I- only process files smaller than the given threshold
-o - only process certain types of files. See README/manpage
-v - display version number and exit
For man page:
a similar utility.

Apple is a bit like Linux. A unix like kernel with an overlay.
Apple has had problems with exploits.
Here is a text in Swedish and most likely they have that knowledge
either from PCWorld or from IDG News service and from Mac mags.
The Myth about the secure Mac.
Linux is mostly protected by being the almost unknown OS
among the majority of average Joe users. So it is finanancely
more attractive to exploit Windows being used by 90% of users.
Here is another such report recently.
Edit Swedes had taken it from BBC
Half a million Mac computers 'infected with malware'
More than half a million Apple computers have been infected
with the Flashback Trojan, according to a Russian anti-virus firm.
Linux being another variant of Unix like OS should be as vulnerable
Consider how much money Apple can affort to invest in good security
compared to Linux Devs who are mostly doing all programming on
free time.
So Linux is less targeted and that is fortunate for us
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I want to add some things to your excellent post.
Of course as we all know a CD disc can't be modified by a hacker.
Also, the mounted SFS included with our Puppy can't be modified remotely with any ease at all, even if it is copied to writeable media such as a hard disk or USB stick.
Modified or added files will be found in /initrd/pup_rw subdirectories, (at least in my version and I hope in all versions)
I think knowing where to look makes the task of monitoring one's system easier. It is for example, much easier to peruse /initrd/pup_rw/usr/bin because it contains only changes than it is to peruse /usr/bin because that directory displays the changes as well as the unchanged.

Right, it's impossible to modify a CD, but:
- A virus can penetrate through network, an infected hard drive/flash drive with some file system or SCSI/IDE driver vulnerability. Maybe even through the optical device driver.
- The virus can stay in memory, without being written to a file you can see in the writeable Aufs layer.
- Maybe the virus is a rootkit that hides files - that's the ultimate win. It lives in the kernel and hides itself.
- Maybe it replaces an existing, legitimate file that is always present in the writeable layer - e.g /etc/windowmanager with the path to a dummy window manager contained in a naive-looking, binary log file that runs JWM and some evil code.
- Overburn?
In short, you can never know. Thinking like a hacker means always being at least two steps ahead of the victim.
There is always a way to penetrate a system - sometimes it's because of the human stupidity and sometimes it's the hacker's technical skills. No matter what it is in this case, the bottom line is: it's impossible to be secure in the digital world.

The argument that your read-only CD cannot be altered ignores what may be happening *while you are running*. A rootkit or other malware doesn't need to live on a disk in order to work. Sure, if you are only on-line for a few minutes and then shut down your system then you are at less risk. But many people boot their system and then leave it running for a long time. They are just as vulnerable as anyone can be.

Considerations of Attitude
I think many of the theoreticals introduced in this section are not strictly theoreticals, they could really happen.
Just yesterday, a script I run daily changed. It lost one character and this caused a malfunction in almost all the script. Say what! How?
It just doesn't seem practical for me to cover myself for almost all scenarios. Worse yet, it doesn't seem practical for me to cover myself for all scenarios in the real world, where damages can be much worse, such things as injuries, financial disasters, loss of loved ones.
Also, fear, (too much of it), at a minimum, will make a person miserable if he has to live it day in and day out.
I don't want to be fearful. Frankly, I want to enjoy my computing.
I could reduce many, many risks simply by not connecting to the Internet. But that would take away much of the joy of computing. I think I'd rather have risks associated with Internet usage, than not have the Internet.
I propose something like this: Reduce risks by being informed and taking smart minded precautions. With the knowledge that there are still risks, then
your computing.
Take a personal inventory of one's greater concerns or fears. In other words things he really doesn't want to be a victim of and try and cover himself for those scenarios.
For example: What I hate the most is losing irreplaceable data. The basic solution for that is, for me, making backups of files on a separate storage device.
We can never be 100% safe. Even if I take every precaution, it may not be enough, some could still swipe my computer. Do I want to install it in an air-conditioned safe? I suppose I would like to, but I don't have the kind of money to justify the expense.
I don't like taking losses. I don't like the emotion of fear or over concern having much of a role in my life.
I suppose others feel the same.
Asking ? ? ? ? ? ? ? opinions - thoughts ? ? ? ? advice ???

Bruce B.,
I'll endorse that. There has to be a balance; one's computer security is important, but, as you said, not to the point of killing the enjoyment of using a computer.
Beyond that balance point, it becomes paranoia. Reminds me of the tale of the old miser who didn't trust banks: he had put double locks on his doors and windows, and had sensors recording at every angle for fear that whatever cash he has stored in a lead drawer underneath the floor will be stolen. He also had a shotgun, of course. One evening, he inadvertedly shot his son who came in late because he thought he was an intruder... The son had had one beer too many, had forgotten the security code and was simply knocking at the door instead...
Sure it's a tale. But transpose it to the computer situation, and paranoia may lead you to do yourself more harm than good.

Join in the colorful fun Saturday at Dover Downs International Speedway. What's it all about? Read on ...
Run or Dye
Just listening to the words, they sound pretty ominous.
But if you read the words, they sound intriguing – and sorta fun.
That's exactly the intent.
Run or Dye Dover 2013 is a fun 5K event planned for this Saturday at the Dover International Speedway, where participants can get in a little exercise and get doused in colorful dye at the same time.
"It's a combination of things," said event director Andy Hayford. "It's to promote fitness, but also to get people out and have a good time. A lot of people come out with their friends or family."
The event is billed as the most colorful 5K run in the world. But you don't have to run, or even be in good shape to participate.
"It's strictly a fun run, not a timed event," Hayford said. "A lot of our participants are first-timers at organized events. We're out to promote fitness.
"People aren't coming out to give their personal best," he added. "You can walk, you can run, you can crawl. It's all about having fun."
Dover area residents who want to participate, but not necessarily run or walk can sign up through the Boys & Girls Club of Delaware to work as volunteers.
They're the ones who get to throw the dye packets at the runners/walkers.
Run or Dye makes a monetary contribution to the Boys & Girls Club for every volunteer who signs up, said Club Development Director Margaux Azzanesi.
"It's something that really has the potential to help our youth development programs," she said. "Run or Dye reached out to us for help and asked us to be their non-profit partner."
The Boys & Girls Club will use the money for their before- and after-school programs in Dover, which offers a number of educational programs for school-age children as well as a safe place where they can stay after school.
Even though the event is tomorrow, there's still time to sign up as a volunteer, Azzanesi said. Interested parties can go to www.runordy.com/volunteers; when applying, be sure to use code RODBGCD10. That will ensure the Boys & Girls Club receives proper credit for each volunteer.
Volunteers also may sign up at Dover International Speedway on the day of the event, she said.
Although records of this type of event – including getting showered with dye – can be traced to ancient times, Run or Dye only kicked off in March 2013. There usually are two events per weekend in different parts of the country. Dover's Run or Dye has a twin happening in Abilene, Texas.
Run or Dye provides white T-shirts, although participants can wear any color. Most agree, however, that white is the best. This means you can pull out an old wedding dress or even your disco-era "Saturday Night Fever" suit and put it to good use.
The dye is food-grade, FDA-approved cornstarch, so it washes right out of clothing and off skin and hair, Hayford said. Those who don't get enough dye during the run/walk will get a second chance at the end, with a giant Finish Festival at the end, where everyone gets a packet of colorful cornstarch and gets to toss it at anyone they want. There also will be music, food and an MC.
"It's all hard to describe," Hayford said. "You'll really just have to be there."

This morning ol Skip said he was trying to like the Seahawks but he can't because of Richard Sherman and his loud mouth "personal attacks" on players. Normally I let the whole disrespect thing go. But this is more of what we used to deal with in that it's obviously someone who has no clue or has not really followed the team at all and is just spouting off.
This kind of thing frustrates me, lots of people watch First Take and he's putting crap out there that just isn't true. We all know Sherm is incredibly smart and consistent, he gives respect where it's warranted and deals with trash talkers accordingly. Just frustrating, had to vent a bit, I'd love it if Sherm went on his show and brought this up because Bayless is far off base but he has no clue, and he has a lot of influence on people's opinions.
Ultimately, this doesn't really matter, I think more than anything it's the misunderstanding that gets to me, wish people did research.

Xcel Energy's bid to collect from customers the last $16.6 million for its SmartGridCity pilot was rebuffed Thursday by an administrative law judge, who said the utility had failed to show the controversial project's benefits.
In a 51-page ruling, Judge Paul Gomez wrote that Xcel had "provided little in the way of a robust strategic plan" and direct benefits for customers.
Gomez's recommended decision will go to the full Colorado Public Utilities Commission, which will make the final decision.
SmartGridCity, begun in Boulder in 2008, was billed as the nation's first comprehensive experiment in smart-grid technology that would manage electricity use from power plant to home appliance.
The project's initial price tag was $15 million, but the cost soared to $44.5 million.
"The lack of information provided here regarding customer-facing benefits or justification of the cost overruns fails to meet the Company's burden of proof," Gomez wrote.
In a statement, Xcel said: "We are disappointed with the ALJ's recommended decision. We are still reviewing the decision to decide whether to file a brief with the full Commission seeking recovery of our investment."
Xcel included SmartGridCity's $44.5 million cost in a 2010 general rate increase, but it was challenged by the city of Boulder and the Colorado Office of Consumer Counsel.
Boulder officials contend that SmartGridCity was overpromised and too expensive and failed to provide much customer benefit.
Xcel installed 23,000 "smart meters" in Boulder, which were to be a communications bridge between homes and the utility.
To connect those meters, Xcel laid its own fiber-optic cable through Boulder's rocky ground — a process that ended up costing $21 million.
Xcel then added $17 million in costs for communications software it decided it would not use companywide. While initially saying thousands of residences would get in-home energy-management systems, only 101 have received them.
The consumer counsel said the company had been imprudent in pushing ahead with the pilot as costs mounted.
The PUC set up a separate docket, or case, to review SmartGridCity, or SGC.
In that review, the commission permitted Xcel's subsidiary Public Service Co. of Colorado to recover $27.6 million — but held back $16.6 million until the utility met certain conditions.
In his decision, Gomez checked those requirements — such as a comprehensive plan for the future, customer-based benefits and community outreach — against Xcel's performance.
"It is apparent that Public Service failed to meet its burden of proof as established by the Commission in order to recover the balance of its SGC investment," Gomez concluded.
One of Xcel's supporting documents was an analysis by MetaVu, a consultant, who evaluated the benefits of the SmartGridCity project.
Xcel's two largest industrial customers, Climax Molybdenum and Rocky Mountain Steel, challenged the report as hearsay and showed that Xcel executives had a hand in editing it.
Climax and Rocky Mountain Steel argued that stockholders, and not customers, should pay for SmartGridCity.
Gomez noted in his decision that no one from MetaVu testified to defend the study.
"There was minimal evidence available to demonstrate that SGC holds a coherent and valuable future," Gomez wrote.
Xcel executives have defended the project, saying it provided valuable insights into managing the power grid and it has saved customers money by better controlling voltage and identifying failing equipment and blackouts.
"Though SmartGridCity may not have met all our customers' expectations, it has been extremely beneficial and will continue to inform our plans to modernize our infrastructure," Xcel said in its statement.
The project is also continuing to serve as a test bed for energy initiatives, such as a pricing and in-home energy-control device pilots, the company said.
Still, in PUC testimony, Scott Wilensky, an Xcel senior vice president, said the technologies were "new and not ones the company had experience with" and that "the project wasn't nearly as well defined as a typical project."
Kara Mertz, Boulder's Local Environment Action Division manager, said in a previous interview that "as Xcel ran into problems, they failed to communicate with customers. There were a lot of frustrated people."
The additional $16.6 million would only have had a "minor effect on customer bills," Xcel said, since the company has already absorbed costs that won't be charged to customers.

A healthy body isn't the only benefit to exercising!
Many people focus on the physical benefits of exercise. As wonderful as they are, exercise also does wonders for your mental and emotional state. It helps alleviate such ailments as depression and anxiety. In addition, it helps you build a healthy self-esteem. Exercise also aids in stress reduction and helps you feel excellent.
The immediate mood enhancing effects of exercise are what make it such a perfect way to soothe symptoms of depression. Exercise is capable of improving your mood within five minutes of beginning a moderate intensity workout. In fact, according to the American Psychological Association, research shows exercise as having very positive effects on long-term depression. These positive effects reach so far as alleviating the symptoms. Further, exercise keeps symptoms at bay thus preventing a relapse. The Mayo Clinic also points out that "Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed." This fact proves that exercise is a key player in depression recovery.
Jasper Smits, PhD, Co-Director of the Anxiety Research and Treatment Program at Southern Methodist University, also credits exercise as being therapeutic for people who suffer from anxiety. He suggests that "physical exercise could help to ward off panic attacks." This is accomplished by exercise acting as a way for sufferers to get acquainted with the symptoms of a panic attack. Panic attacks include symptoms of sweating and increased heart rate. People who are extra sensitive relate these feelings with fear. Exercise brings these same symptoms on, and helps sufferers connect to them in a positive way. They realize the feelings of increased heart rate and sweating won't hurt them, thus associating the feelings to safety instead of danger and taking fear out of the equation.
An obvious effect of exercise is that it keeps you fit and healthy. It keeps your weight in check and lets you challenge yourself. These are fantastic ways to boost self-esteem. It helps you feel good about the fact that you are able to rise up and meet challenges you throw at yourself, thus increasing confidence. You are also happier with your appearance because you work so hard at the gym. So the next time you are feeling blue, get some exercise!

I just like D Wade's game...my opinion only.
Lakers players Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Jordan Hill were injured in last night's game against the Denver Nuggets and were examined by team doctors today.
Howard, who originally injured his right shoulder Friday night against the Clippers and re-aggravated his shoulder last night, was examined today by team doctor Steve Lombardo. An MRI exam revealed that he has a torn labrum and will be out indefinitely; he will travel with the team this week to Houston and San Antonio and will receive treatment from the team's training staff. He will be re-examined in a week.
Gasol, who suffered a blow to the face in the fourth quarter of last night's game, was examined by neurologist Dr. Vern Williams. Tests determined that he has a concussion. He will not travel with the team, and will be out indefinitely.

There has been a lot of talk this year about how WR should be an offseason priority for the Seahawks. I don't actually share that opinion, but regardless, it's a possiblity that Seattle might go out and invest in a starting WR this offseason, either in free agency or with a high draft pick. If that happens, one of Rice, Tate, or Baldwin would lose their starting job. Tate and Baldwin are on cheap, team controlled contracts. Rice is owed $7 million next season. Personally, I would not feel great about investing big for a starting WR because I don't want to bench any of those three guys (unless it was for Wes Welker).
But if it did happen, who would you bench to start him? Personally, I'd bench Baldwin- and only because I think he's our 3rd best WR right now.
For the purposes of this poll, I'm leaving off the option for drafting/signing a backup WR and keeping our current trio- that's because I'm more curious about which player you'd feel most comfortable with upgrading on.

But even if legislation enforcement moves towards erotic therapeutic massage parlors, conviction of alleged traffickers isn't any slam dunk.

Donna Gavin, head from the human trafficking device for your Boston Law enforcement Division, stated law enforcement scrutinize evaluation boards throughout investigations once they get tips on problematic addresses.
