A Joke, I think, I hope...
Are you closer to becoming a janitor than...
An unemployed man went to apply for a job with
Microsoft as a janitor. The manager there arranges
for him to take an aptitude test. After the test, the
manager says, "You will be employed as a janitor
at minimum wage, $5.15 an hour. Let me have your
e-mail address, so that I can send you a form to
complete and tell you where to report for work on
your first day."
Taken aback, the man protests that he has neither
a computer nor an e-mail address. To this the MS
manager replies, "Well, then, that means that you
virtually don't exist and can therefore hardly expect
to be employed by Microsoft.
Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to
turn and having only $10.00 in his wallet, he buys a
25 lb flat of tomatoes at the supermarket. In less than
two hours, he sells all the tomatoes individually at
100% profit. Repeating the process several times
more that day, he ends up with almost $100.00 before
going to sleep that night. Thus it dawns on him that he
could quite easily make a living selling tomatoes.
Getting up early every day and going to bed late,
he multiplies his profits quickly. After a short time he
acquires a cart to transport several dozen boxes of
tomatoes, only to have to trade it in again so that he
can buy a pickup truck to support his expanding business.
By the end of the second year, he is the owner of a fleet
of pickup trucks and manages a staff of a hundred former
unemployed people, all selling tomatoes.
Planning for the future of his wife and children, he decides
to buy some life insurance. Consulting with an insurance
adviser, he picks an insurance plan to fit his new
circumstances. At the end of the telephone conversation,
the adviser asks him for his e-mail address in order to
send the final documents electronically.
When the man replies that he has no e-mail, the adviser
is stunned. "What, you don't have e-mail? How on earth
have you managed to amass such wealth without the Internet,
e-mail and e-commerce? Just imagine where you would be
now, if you had been connected to the Internet from the very start!"
"Well," replied the tomato millionaire, "I would be a janitor at Microsoft!"
By definition, a fable must have a moral. This one has four:
1. The Internet, e-mail and e-commerce do not need to
rule your life.
2. If you don't have e-mail, but work hard,
you can still become a millionaire.
3. Since you got this story via e-mail, you're probably
closer to becoming a janitor than you are to becoming
a millionaire.
4. If you do have a computer and e-mail, you have
already been taken to the cleaners by Microsoft.

Microsoft released three new security updates on Jan 13th
Just in case you missed it.
Microsoft Security Updates Microsoft released three new security updates on Jan 13th, with two aimed at server environments and one for the desktop. The highest priority, with a Critical Severity rating is Security Bulletin MS04-01, issued for Microsoft's Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) server. The bulletin details potential attacks via buffer overflows in the H.323 filter in ISA's firewall service.
Microwsoft gets Spyware.com award for their "Scumbag of the week"
Our scumbag of the week this issue is Microsoft. Microsoft tried to extort a kid in Canada, Mike Rowe, into turning over ownership of his web site's name. (Sounds like something I talked about last week?). The name of Mike Rowe's web site is mikerowesoft.com. Sound that out in the English language and phonetically it is identical to microsoft.com.
Microsoft, in its infinite stupidity, decided that its customers are all morons who would be confused by this name. This, Microsoft claims, makes mikerowesoft.com an infringement upon their registered name "Microsoft".
That is, of course, absurd. Mike Rowe does not make, sell or advertise software. Mike Rowe is a web designer. There is, and never would be, any possible way to confuse Microsoft.com with MikeRoweSoft.com.
Mike Rowe decided to fight back, managed to rally countless thousands of supporters online (with the help of several large news web sites) and even started a financial war chest with which to fight Microsoft in court. Microsoft, seeing the handwriting on the wall, now has admitted that they went too far. Microsoft is now likely either to drop this or offer cash to make Mike Rowe go away.
For more information, visit Microsoft.... errr... MikeRoweSoft.com.
Update
It just has been brought to my attention that Microsoft has tried to force another person into giving up his web site name. Mike Morris has owned MikeRoSoft.ca for two years now. The web site was a small, personal, nonprofit message board for "technogeeks".
As with the MikeRoweSoft site, there was never any possibility of confusion between MikeRoSoft.ca and Microsoft.com. The site has run for two years without causing the slightest damage to Microsoft or its copyrights. If someone can show me one single person who was confused into believing MikeRoweSoft.com or MikeRoSoft.ca were official Microsoft web sites, I will eat this can of compressed air sitting on my desk.
(Visit Mike's website and see what he has gone thuogh to show "good intent" for the court...)
Microsoft, get a grip. We already know you are a group of greedy, money hoarding CENSORED. There is no need to go out of your way to prove it by acting like complete CENSORED. I'm sure this will come as quite a surprise, but your customers are not mental infants who are distracted by shiny objects. Stop acting as if they were.

TECH STUFF by Walter S. Mossberg - Adobe Photo makes albums EZ

Adobe Photo Software Now Makes it Easy To Create Albums By WALTER S. MOSSBERG
So you got a new digital camera for the holidays, and by now you've discovered what savvy computer users have known for years: The free software that comes with hardware products usually stinks. That means you now need a good software program to organize, touch up and share the thousands of digital pictures that are filling your computer's hard disk, or will be soon.
If you own a Macintosh, this problem is easily solved. Apple's iPhoto, the first good photo-organizing program, comes free on every Mac and still offers the best blend of simplicity and power in the industry.
It's a harder quest on Windows. While Windows XP does a nice job of handling photo files, Microsoft doesn't bundle anything like iPhoto. There are many photo-organizing programs for Windows, but most are too techie-oriented or too primitive.
Last year, I reviewed two then-new Windows programs attempting to match iPhoto: Picasa, from Lifescape Solutions, and Adobe Photoshop Album, from the famous graphics company. I picked Picasa, because it was easier to use, although less powerful than Photoshop Album. The Adobe program was built around a complex and labor-intensive organizing feature called tags, which attempted to categorize every picture.
A year later, Picasa still lacks the most important organizing feature in iPhoto: the ability to create virtual albums, or collections of photos, and to assign a single photo to more than one such album.
By contrast, Adobe has overhauled Photoshop Album for version 2.0, simplifying the user interface. The tagging system is still there, but it isn't front and center. And for people who don't want to use tags, Adobe has added the virtual-album feature, which it calls "Collections."
As a result, I believe Photoshop Album 2.0 is now the best choice for Windows users looking to manage their digital-photo collections. It still has lots of power and plenty of appeal to techies, but it's now more accessible to average users.
Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 costs around $45. You can download a free, stripped-down starter edition at www.adobe.com, but it lacks some of the key organizing and sharing features -- including the new Collections feature.
Like iPhoto, Photoshop Album 2.0 is organized into two main areas: a large window with thumbnails of all your photos, which Adobe calls the "Photo Well," and a sidebar that allows you to call up selected groups of those photos. In Adobe's case, this sidebar can show either your lists of virtual Collections or a list of tags.
The virtual-collections feature is the key to managing your photos without relying on a mastery of Windows folders and files. You can have a virtual album of your trip to Hawaii without worrying about whether all your pictures are in neatly organized folders and subfolders on your hard disk, with names relating to vacations or Hawaii. And virtual albums also spare users from having to be anal enough to add captions or tags to each and every picture.
With the new Collections feature in Photoshop Album 2.0, you can just use your mouse to select your pictures of Hawaii and turn them in seconds into a unified collection. You merely start a new collection called Hawaii and drag the thumbnails of the pictures into it. It's like creating a play list in a music program. The file containing the picture isn't moved or copied. But the software knows which pictures to display when you click on the name of the collection.
Any picture can be in multiple collections. So, the same picture might appear in your Hawaii collection, in a collection of photos of your husband and in a collection of photos of beaches you've visited.
Beyond the Collections feature, there's lots to like about Photoshop Album 2.0. You can re-size thumbnails by sliding a size bar, as in iPhoto. A terrific timeline at the top of the screen helps you locate photos by date. There's even a full-screen calendar with thumbnails of the photos associated with each date.
Simple touchups to pictures are easy to make right in the product, and you can dispatch a picture to a separate photo editor of your choice. You can convert slide shows you create into special PDF files, viewable on Windows PCs and Macs, even by people who don't have Photoshop Album. These files, which can be e-mailed, can contain music and titles for the slides.
One cool feature tries to find all the photos that have similar patterns or colors to a single picture you select. I tried this with a picture of my cat, and Photoshop Album found a bunch of other pictures of the cat.
There are some downsides to Photoshop Album. You have to know a special keyboard command to play back quickly a slideshow the program has created. You can't burn a slideshow onto a DVD. And when e-mailing a photo or slideshow, you have to use the program's own address book instead of your regular e-mail address book.
Worst of all, the program can be sluggish with even a few thousand photos. But Adobe deserves great credit for improving and simplifying Photoshop Album in version 2.0 and, in my view, it's the best choice for digital-camera owners with Windows PCs.

Money Matters - Market mixed all day
Dow closed down 54 pts. at 10,568, and S&P down 2.39 Pts. at 1141, the Russell up 4.41 to close at 596, while the NASDAQ was up as well by 4.23 pts. to 2123. Not a good week. But not a bad month, so far...
People I love are dropping like flies, alittle of me goes alone with them
Yesterday, it was Ann Miller, if your not at lease 40 yrs. old you don't care. But you miss seeing the greatest legs on a woman ever. And boy could they dance. I've got a good pic of her and her legs, use the comment link and gave me an email address and I'll send it to ya. Or go to news.yahoo.com and click on her pic on the left hand side of the page. She the one sitting on the rock at the beach. Sorry that it's in Blk. & Wht. But that all there was when that pic was taken.
Today, it's Bob Deesham or CAPTAIN KANGAROO. At 76. The show ran 30 years. Starting in 1955. God bless and kept him and Ann Miller both. His story I found on msnbc.com
This is the "Title line". From now on a title to my entery will go here.
Money Matters - Considering Flood Insurance
Considering Flood Insurance If your home is at risk for serious ground water damage from flood or heavy rains, buy federal flood insurance. Buy a policy limit at least high enough to cover your maximum probable loss. Then reduce that amount by the value of all furnishings, carpet, wall coverings, and so on, below ground if you have no walkout, since those items won't be covered. Be sure to buy coverage well in advance of any potential flood, because the NFIP policy has a 30-day waiting period. For almost everyone else with any potential risk from rain runoff or seepage, install a sump pump system with a guarantee from a reputable firm with good references. It's far less expensive than you'd guess. And it costs considerably less than uninsured water damage claims. Buy optional sump pump failure Homeowners coverage for the lesser of the maximum probable loss or the maximum coverage available. Buy at least some sewer backup coverage unless you can prevent a backup with a one-way valve in your sewer pipe, or unless your lowest level is unfinished. Buy enough to cover the maximum probable loss or the maximum available, whichever is less. Money NOT loss, is Money earned and keeped and is money not taxes. It's not how much money you earn, it how much you keep.

And then click on the second tab on the top in that "Internet option" window. Now look for the "Restricted sites" zone and click on that. Next you'll see a button with the word "sites" in it, click on it. Now in the "add this web sites to the Zone" add type the website domain name IE, google.com and click "OK".
OK, now that you in the "Internet Options" tool, look around. See what you can find out from clicking on the "General" tab, and remember I said "look" I wouldn't changes anything before I had a change ask a question.

Got DSL or Cable and want to know more about it
I've got a link for ya, www.dslreports.com
Go take a look and if you find it's what you want Register. It's FREE.
I'm switch off ComCast soon, I think. It's maybe just me. But I've had a bad dail with them. Something like half the time "the line" was down or so slow as to be slower than dail up. But That's what I do. I test and tell ya what happened. I did do the 6 months at $20 thing($42 now). But that can't make a difference in how well "the line" works. And, I found "the man" inside ComCast that really wanted me and my acc. to work too. But ComCast is just to big to work, or work will. So, I'm now going over to Yahoo SBC, but that's for a differant time. The First thing that went wrong was and is the rebates. It taken me the hold 6 months to find out that ComCast and Radio Shack are fighting over who pays what on the rebates and no one is getting them (the rebates that is). And it looks like no one is going to for some time. If this is NEWS you were not able to get, well now you know. Just kept trying to get them by calling Radio Shack rebate center. Over and over and over. I'll tell you how I found out the info but then you would need me and I'd starve. You don't want that, right?
I had their people out here 3 times not including the instill. And as of last night I still have "slow speed". Today I OK!
I going to stop short of saying "don't" try them, because this could just be all about me and where I am and the building that is going on around me. Plus the fact that SBS is new in my area. And by area I mean the state I'm in. So if $42 is not too much for you to pay, and you do get the 3000 Kbps download and 245 up you'll be happy.
Looking around on dslreport.com will show you others that chanrge less per month with slower speed, 1750 Kbp or so for around $30, IE SBC. And if like me, I don't use my ISP's email or other feathers, because there are better out there then ISPs for Email and alike. And its Yahoo for email, that
s for sure. Yahoo's new, newish, AddressGuard is something that really helps. IF price and speed matter try the page of dslreports, hope you can get to it with out having signed up as a member; http://www.dslreports.com/dosearch?cheap=1
Anyway, try www.dslreports.com. I think you'll find the info interesting. As for me, if you send any time at all on the Net, $20 a month is a fare price and all you need is to get on.
Let me know what you thought of them too by clicking on the "COMMENTS" link. And I'll put the link in the "side bar" on the left so you have it whenever you want it.

What if I said the FBI could order your bank, ISP and telephone company to turn over all records and logs relating to you without a valid warrant, then force everyone involved to cover it up?
That doesn't sound right because the Fourth Amendment should prevent that sort of thing. Let's say the FBI does an end run around the Constitution by issuing itself a so-called "national security letter" which states that the records they want are relevant to an investigation into terrorism. The FBI wouldn't need to show probable cause, have any evidence of this or even consult a judge first.
The organization that is forced to turn these records over is issued a gag order and kept from revealing the subpoena's existence to anyone, including the subject of the investigation. Violating that gag order would be worth a trip to federal prison for the offender.
If I were to tell you that, would you think I had lost my mind? Or would you think I needed to loosen my tin foil hat? Certainly someone has gone mad, but unfortunately it isn't me. The outrageous scenario above is exactly what can happen now.
The Justice Department, unable to have the so-called "PATRIOT II Act" passed in the face of public opposition, has performed an end run around the legislative process. Congress is infamous for inserting unpopular legislation into bills that are totally unrelated in order to sneak them through with a minimum of opposition and debate. That is exactly what has just occurred in the United States.
This article at Wired explains it better than I ever could. When I read it, all the blood drained from my face and I thought I was going to faint and wake up thirty years in the past, in the good old U.S.S.R.

If you would like to know if your congressional representative voted for or against this.... insanity.... the voting record is located at http://clerk.house.gov/cgi-bin/vote.exe?year=2003&rollnumber=649.

Sometime this year, Internet Explorer will catch up to every other modern web browser by providing a built-in pop-up blocker. Whether the feature will be turned on by default is up in the air at the moment. Microsoft is waiting for feedback from users before making that decision.
Allow me to summarize every single comment Microsoft will receive on this from users. "Hell yes, ship it with the blocker turned on."
Now, let me summarize every single comment Microsoft will receive from advertising companies. "Hell no, are you crazy?"
"If they turn it on by default, that would effectively kill pop-up advertising on the Web," said Nate Elliott, an associate analyst with Jupiter Research.
Awwwww.... I'm heart-broken.
I suspect the people who make heavy use of pop-up and pop-under ads will move on to use the new "Slider" ads that have been popping up (pardon the pun) all over the place. These are javascripts or maybe DHTML that "slide" what looks like small pop-ups across the window and park themselves directly in front of the page until you close them. These slider ads are even more annoying than pop-ups.
I love Mozilla and Opera, both of which have long since blocked all unwanted pop-up windows. However, neither of them block these new slider ads. I sincerely hope the developers for both browsers start looking into ways to kill those (hint, hint).
Before you praise Microsoft too loudly for their decision to block pop-ups, you need to understand that this is a bit self-serving. The update will be provided in Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. There likely will be no such update for Internet Explorer 6 running on other platforms. Those of you running Windows 2000, ME (shudder), NT, or 98 may be shut out of this new feature. This would be perfectly in line with Microsoft's consumer-hostile attitude.
I read every news article about this and all of them mentioned that the update would be XP SP2. None of them mentioned an update for IE6 separate from XP. If anyone happens to know for sure, please let me know.
