Note for Haloscan Users:Over the past month or so Haloscan started (the end of July) handling of trackbacks has improved though it is still pretty broken for carnival type posts. Now, instead of rejecting every attempt to ping it accepts single pings for a while and then will start rejecting them. I will keep trying to track back to Haloscan boarders but can make no guarantees for any particular week.
Note for Typepad Users:
Typepad continues to behave similar to Haloscan for trackbacks. I been able to get trackbacks to most, if not all, Typepad based boarders. I have to do it one at a time and wait a while in between pings but Typepad does not go into semi-permanent rejection mode like Haloscan.

You might agree with Justice Douglas who in dissent said:
The right to work, I had assumed, was the most precious liberty that man possesses.This, though, is not the case in the United States where, for example, in California you can't help folks keep pigeons off their roofs with spikes without spending two years learning about pesticides.
A constitution that does not protect the right of consenting humans to employ or perform work for others is no constitution at all. Governments that use their monopoly power to protect one class of people, absent fraud or force, from competition by another class of people has no legitimacy. Its agents, the courts, elected officials and hirelings who enforce such practices are perpetrating crimes against humanity.
Buried in an article reviewing the debate over the efficacy of security cameras in San francisco is this paraphrasing of a statement from the head of the housing authority:
Fortner said he knows that criminals don't like the cameras, because someone in the Sunnydale public housing development recently ripped one off a telephone pole with a rope tied to a car. When the camera returned, vandals turned to an electric saw, cutting through concrete, steel and finally the camera's wiring.I suppose that someone becomes a criminal by definition when they destroy public property else what justification is there for this generalization.
However, this seems like perfectly fine behavior for anyone who thinks it is not appropriate for governments to be spying on them. Which should be, well, everyone except the government big brothers. Even they should know better.

I get a fairly lengthy statement from Sprint for the 4 wireless phones in our family. Often 20-30 pages.
But 300 pages....
You'd think the default for $.00 cost items might be....don't print it. Hell, don't even report it!
Oh, how long will AT&T be retaining all those details?
Possible benefits:
1. maybe they will generate enough data to fry the fed's data-mining operations.2. More folks will migrate to electronic billing thus putting more postal workers, loggers and paper mill employees out of work.

In a recent article discussing a ruling that terminally ill people do not have a right to access to experimental drugs is this quote from one of the judges:
"We conclude there is no fundamental right ... of access to experimental drugs for the terminally ill," said Judge Thomas Griffith, an appointee of President Bush.Beginning at the end:
You can find background on and discussion of this case in this Reason article.

No spoilers here....
Late June through this early part of August have been the lowest posting 6-8 weeks since Modulator entered the blogosphere....tch, tch.
Reasons abound: heavy work load; quite a bit of family traveling; beginning to plan a new house and, yes, rereading the first 6 years at Hogwarts and Deathly Hallows. I finished the latter today and immediately want to reread it.
The tension between reading slow enough to figure out the clues to the grand scheme of what is going to happen and having needing to read very rapidly to find out what will happen next was delectable!
I chose the latter approach; I could not slow down. I don't think you will be able to either!
In a few days I will reread the last couple hundred pages and then hand it over to Mrs Modulator.
I do not plan to post any discussion of specifics related to Deathly Hallows for some time. Everyone needs an opportunity to read it spoiler free. Happy, though, to discuss in email.
Posting volume should start rising though it may be some time before I get back up to a 2-3 post/day average.

Alert: Another long weekend for the staff. Somewhere in the 1-2 PM EDT time frame we will be on the road to a place with very limited net access. After that time boardings will likely be delayed for extended periods of time and it is possible that we will not get boardings caught up until Sunday night.

He may be a very cute kitty but I'd just as soon he not come visiting.
