Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Hackers
There were five and dime stores back when prices for the stuff they sold were that low. By the time I was shopping in Woolworth's and Newberry's in the '50s, five and dime was already way out of date due to inflation, although the term was still used by the older generation. And they had departments and regular stock that they ordered, unlike most of today's dollar stores. (Woolworth's had a terrific notions department, for instance--thread and needles and pins and yarn and hooks-and-eyes--including drawers and drawers full of Simplicity patterns for home sewers.) I doubt dollar stores have ever made more of a profit than five-and-dimes. In most cases the dollar stores' goods are not costlier (and many of the stores, around here at least, are quite small, much smaller than the old five-and-dimes). I don't think you're taking inflation into account; the dollar stores' business model is very different than that of the five-and-dimes. There used to be five and dime stores too. Dollar stores probably arise out of the fact that bigger stores wanted to devote their precious shelf space to costlier hence more profitable items.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Hackers
Richard, that happened to me. They stole my ID and filed a tax return using the address of an empty building in town to which IRS mailed a letter. But because the mail carrier recognized my name and remembered where I lived, she brought the IRS letter to me. That's the only reason I discovered the situation in a timely manner. My CPA handled it and the following year IRS assigned me a special ID number to put on my tax return. So...I'm grateful to live in a small town. Another interesting aspect was that a fellow from the security division of one of my credit cards was able to tell me where the theft occurred by tracking the IP address. It was located in Riverside, IA, a town about 50 miles north of here with a big casino. Can you say criminal element?

He accessed computers and networks at all the world's biggest companies - and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide and seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down. Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escapes - and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him and forced companies to rethink the way they protect their their most sensitive information.

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: Yep, Denial-of-service-attacks. Another form of Denial-of-service is to pick the people one doesn't like on an Internet forum and harass them with literally hundreds or thousands of posts for many years until they no longer feel it is worth posting on the forum. Because every time them do, the stalkers will start their harassment campaign again. Many of these victims finally decide that it really isn't worth it to participate any more because the constant harassment from their stalkers prevents them from contributing anything of value, so they leave. The stalkers consider this a win. More sane people consider it a loss for the forum, because the people chased away by the stalkers were often the best and brightest posters. Others not directly targeted by the stalkers also consider it a loss, because the stalkers tend to then take over the forum and use it to post nothing but their own petty grievances and vendettas, drowning out the interesting discussions other posters originally signed up for. Many of these secondary victims also end up leaving the forum. The ones who stay generally avoid interacting with the stalkers, because they've seen what will happen to *them* if they say something that lands them on the stalkers' Enemies List. In the end, the only people who interact with the stalkers are the occasional well-meaning person trying to get them to lighten up and return to sanity (dangerous, because that's guaranteed to land them on the Enemies List themselves), or the toadies and groupies who suck up to the primary stalkers, kiss their asses, and try to emulate and perpetuate their sick behavior. It's a form of cyberterrorism.

You newbies need to get some smarts about the texting on social networks ALWAYS boot up your laptop with a command line Linux shell using a 32 gigabyte micro-SD card. Then, you need to get yourself a proxy server, or at least set up a VPN to connect a small LAPTOP with your home desk top computer running LINUX - never reveal your IP address or Who-Is location. Always use a free text editor like EditPad. Never install Apple, Microsoft, Norton, Kaspersky, or McAfee programs!!! Maintain a log of every post you make and copy all your data to the SD card, ENCRYPT it, (never save your data on your desktop hard drive). Hide the micro-card inside a cracked and flashed, cheap flip phone - don't tell ANYONE where the micro-card is, EVER. Conceal the phone in your underpants. When you log on to the internet to send your one-line text messages, always use an anonymous login. NEVER sign up to any site using your real name, reveal your age or gender, or your past exploits. Tips: 1. Don't sit at the same table in the same coffee shop every day. 2. Drive a sleeper car, like a white van and tinted windows, with a V-8 under the hood. 3. Always pay your student loan to Sallie Mae using a money order and snail mail. 4. When you go out in public always wear shades, a black T-shirt and old blue jeans and running shoes. 5. Take a computer course at a community college. 6. Avoid getting any tattoos on your body or piercings that can identify you.

HBO does have a channel on YouTube and sometimes put up the first episode as a hook to get people to sign up. The real problem that even Time-Warner (who owns HBO) is trying to deal with is the long term contracts with cable and satellite providers when the new paradigm is online streaming. With people cutting the cable the time is ripe for change.
