3/18 How do I put my e-mail address in my home page and avoid being picked
up by spammers? Do spammers scan for "mailto:" links or do they scan
for all text in the .html files? Thx.
\_ Don't worry so much about the scan part...it is too hard to
maintain. I just use spamassassin now, and sometimes give
out user-tag (or user+tag) type addresses.
\_ put up an image of your email address. The spammers aren't going
to bother taking the image file and trying to OCR it to get the
email address.
\_ Cool! Thanks!
\_ Make a form that posts to a cgi script that sends you mail
\_ post your email address to usenet then everyone will have it and
you won't need it on your web page.
\_ This is like that entry on the multiple-choice test your
teachers warned you about.
\_ "E"! It's always "E"!
\_ Someone deleted my post about JavaScript obfuscation, which is
probably the best way to keep the functionality of a mailto: link
while hiding from spammers. ObGoogle. -tom
\_ I wouldn't use a mailto: link. I'd rather just post my email
address in html using '@' for '@' and '.' for '.'.
This will prevent the vast majority of spammers from harvesting
your email addr from your webpage.
\_ This sounds good too. Thanks.
\_ Thanks! -spammer |

3/18 It's possible that what would turn out to be the biggest event
these days would not be Iraq but the mysterious Hong Kong
ailment dubbed SARS. It seems to have all the ingredients of
the perfect plague - spread through air, a long enough
incubation period so that it isn't easily contained, and often
fatal. If not this, something that would appear soon, as
prophesied by the book "The Coming Plague". Much more dangerous
than your two-bit terrorist. Be very afraid.
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/18/health/18CND-HONG.html
\_ Q: What are the chances of recovering from it?
A: So far there are 9 fatalities among the 150 most recent cases.
\_ Watched too much of the movie "Outbreak" recently?
\_ I don't think this one is the "big one". It isn't all THAT fatal.
Second, it isn't all THAT contageous. You really have to be
in close proximity to the person for a long time to get it.

3/19 I'm really worried about the economic impact of the war. Bush still
hasn't given us concrete numbers of how much this all costs. I've
heard $100 billion tossed around. Where the hell is that going to
come from? social security? Medicare? Cutting foreign aid?
Printing more money? After the last gulf war there was a brief
rally in the stock market and we plunged deeper into recession after
that. I think the same will happen again.
\_ Not to mention that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia ended footing much of
the bill for the last Persian Gulf excursion. In other words, we
never actually saw the whole cost last time. We're on our own this
time, monetarily.
\_ What do you mean "saw the whole cost". We made money last
time.
\_ I've already bought a few blocks of halliburton and others.
\_ After all this time I can't believe that you are still in the
dark on this. Its all about the OIL! He's going to take all of
Iraq's oil and sell it and use the money to pay off the national
debt and give all his zionist-fat-cat-worker rich cronies a huge
tax break so that they can all buy new Escalades and drive over
the poor workers-of-the-world who are trying to unite in order to
form a more perfect commune. |

3/18 Just curious, what is the consensus on how long the war with iraq
is going to take? live outside of US
\_ There is no consensus, of course. That's what makes living
in the US fun. I'm sure there's consensus in France.
\_ My guess is the troops will move in at the same time the bombs
start falling on military c&c behind the lines so it'll take about
4 days to get to Baghdad and then God only knows what'll happen in
the city. The military may surrender. They may go house to house
which could take weeks. They will probably lose most of the city
right away and then there'll be hard mop up in a few sections for
a week or maybe two if they're really suicidal.
\_ It could all be over in a day if they would just use one or two
of the neutron bombs we've got. None of our troops would get hurt
and all of the oil wells and buildings would be intact. |
| 2003/3/19 [Politics/Domestic/California, Politics/Foreign/MiddleEast/Iraq] UID:27745 Activity:nil |
3/18 Just curious. The person who claimed the US would be backing off the
war noise over the next several weeks and how you "told us so!!!!":
do you still believe your earlier statements? I'm the one who said
about a week ago that this coming weekend would be the start.
\_ When the bombs drop, I'll admit I was wrong. I wasn't trying
to troll either.
\_ is your point simply that behaving irrationally, or bluffing,
are effective means of diplomacy?
\_ Whoever said it was effective? Anyways, I still think the
U.S. won't do anything until it gets support from Russia,
France, and China. I wouldn't be surprised if the troops
sit there for a month waiting for Iraq to surrender
(which it won't).
\_ You are living in the past. Many people fail to
understand Bush. He is not a complex man, what you see
is what you get. Unlike Clinton, he means what he says.
\_ at least I had a job when Clinton was in office.
\_ As an intern?
\_ I miss the intern days. The WH was so much more
fun when we took government seriously and we
smoked out and nailed all the interns and stroke
of the pen, law of the land... sigh. Oh for the
dotcom days when we all had bubble jobs based on
VC money with no business plans.
\_ What I see is a moron. Is that what I get? He could
have gotten much more support for the war, and made it
much easier for American troops and tax payers if he
and his underlings just learn some basic diplomatic
skills.
\_ Could he have? France has been obstructing US
efforts to control Iraq the whole time.
\_ So you figure he could've gotten the votes in from
France/Russia/China how exactly? Do you understand
how diplomacy works? To get their vote in a useless
body (the UN), we'd have to buy them off with
something that has real value. You're so smart, how
about I give you my vote at the next CSUA meeting and
in exchange you give me 50 bucks. That sounds good
to me and you'd show good diplomacy. I'd not veto
your resolution to oppose the war or something.
\_ I am not referring to getting votes, but
generating bad vibes all over. Even in terms
of getting votes, if the Bush administration has
done it smarter instead of like a gung-ho cowboy,
he may very well have gotten enough votes to
force a French veto rather than having to
withdraw the resolution. Even magazines like the
Economist which openly supported the war thought
Bush and his underlings screwed up the diplomacy
big time.
\_ Ok, I'll buy that. Yes, there are some bad
vibes. Maybe it could've been better, maybe
not. Either way I believe the French were hell
bound to veto anything that would had a trigger
clause in it. I believe that because they said
so so many times. The WH reaction to that was
too flustered but in the end most countries
either already liked/hated us and will continue
to do so as before. The long term effect on
how much any other country likes/hates us is
about zero because this isn't a play ground.
\_ we got UN support in Afghanistan, and in
Iraq last time, so the assertion that
France was going to veto stuff just because
they "don't like us" is not only absurd, it's
contradicted by history. -tom |

3/18 TPTB Silence the Dixie CH1X:
http://csua.org/u/b0b (news.yahoo.com)
\_ It goes like this: you have the right to say just about anything
you want, however, you do *not* have the right to be heard. They're
getting paid to sing, not share their political philosophy. People
uninterested in their political philosophy are not required to pay
them for that or their singing or anything else. She's not
President Sheen so she's screwed.
\_ It goes like this: don't badtalk the Pres. or advertisers on
country/western stations will freak and pull your music.
Ani Difranco's been saying bad stuff about the Pres., but her
target audience is expected to support that message, so she
doesn't get pulled.
\_ They run a business. This is something Ms Ch1x didn't get.
She has no right to use their airwaves and equipment to get
her philosophy out, and doubly so since the listeners are
likely to get pissed off and kill the station ratings and
stop buying products on those stations. Perhaps you'd
prefer a Soviet style music selection chosen by a committee
which determines what you're allowed to listen to? No one is
stopping you from supporting Ms. Ch1x. Go into a store and
*buy* her music. I support Ms. Ch1x right to say what she
wants. I do not support her putting people out of work when
stations go under so she can attempt to spread her political
opinion on other people's time and dime.
\_ Actually they're _our_ airwaves.
\_ Which makes this a tragedy of the commons.
\_ *laugh* perfect.
\_ oh please.
\_ uh huh, great response.
\_ Wake up. Natalie Maines didn't use radio to peddle her
beliefs; she made comments at a concert in London. Read
the article and realize that you're talking up the wrong
issue.
\_ I already knew exactly when she made her comments. My
comments still stand. If you're going to mouth off
about topics beyond your job scope you have to expect
that there might be repercussions. For example, I'm
very conservative but work in a very liberal company.
I shut the fuck up and do not in any way share my
political beliefs with others because I put my income
above my right to mouth off. She chose the other path
and has that right as an adult but has to understand as
an adult that other adults have the right to boycott
her. I'd think the left would understand the boycott
concept *really* well by now. Are you upset at all
that the left is trying *really* hard to get a boycott
going on Michael Savage's new TV show? Does that upset
you the same as Ms. Ch1x getting pulled off the air?
\_ Hells bells, of course they have the right to
boycott her. However, the radio boycott was called
by owners of radio stations before the public even
had a chance to tell us how they felt about her
comments. Of course, the owners also have the right
to boycott, but when they do it, they're making
themselves represent "the people" by forcing their
listeners to implicitly take part in the boycott.
That's tyranny of ownership, not tyranny of vox
populi. The message they sent was "toe the line or
don't get played," not "the public disapproves." [fd]
\_ how do you know they weren't flooded with phone
calls and letters everytime they played Ms. Ch1x?
you're just assuming they pulled her instantly
when it was almost a week later in reality which
is plenty of time for US post to show up.
\_ If a left-leaning network exec pulled the plug based
on fears that people would pillory the network for
playing the show, I'd be disgusted. If the same exec
pulled the plug because the show lacked quality or
couldn't pull in the ratings, I'd say go figure.
If the left managed to get people to write in and say
they were going to boycott the network unless the show
got pulled, I'd say they were exercising their
rights as citizens. I may not agree with what they
say, but I support their right to say it.
\_ He isn't pulled yet but the left are beating on
the advertisers this second. How about Dr. Laura?
Her show didn't even get a chance to air before
advertisers were pulling out due to boycotts. I'm
a-ok with that as long as you're a-ok with Ms.
Ch1x losing precious air time a week after she
opened her dumb mouth. She's a singer. She
should sing. If she wants to, she can put it in
a song and if people like it, they'll buy it.
That's the way it works in this country.
\_ Isn't it kind of cruel to say that a musician should just
sing but not express her political views? Isn't that
like Soviet style music? Why is she obligated to
keep her mouth shut to save people's jobs?
\_ People are allowed and encouraged in this country to
express themselves in many ways. One way is to use your
music career to give your political beliefs a boost.
Another way is to close your wallet to send a message to
someone who is using their music career express her
political beliefs that you disagree with her doing so.
Few things are more American than what she did or than
what the radio stations did. I salute both Ms. Ch1x and
the radio managers who pulled her.
\_ She has the right to say what she wants. Similarly, the public
has the right to protest her statements and call her an idiot.
She then is allowed to decide, based on business interests, that
it is more profitable to retract her statement. The free market
works.
\_ Freedom of speech, and, for that matter, all other protections
granted in the bill of rights are protections against the Federal
government. Private individual or corporation shuts you, fuck you,
deal. Ted Turner owns CNN. He does not need to give you airtime.
Get over it. At this point, you might now be inclined to ask why
people have been worrying about corporate consolidation in the
media. [formatd was here -- under 80 columns next time] |

\_ These clowns have me doing time sheets per project. Yes it's bad.

idea about scheduling.

3/19 I have to choose a health plan soon, and I have many choices:
PPO - Blue Shield
Point of Service - Aetna
HMO - Health Net, Kaiser, Pacificare
And then there's something called a Consumer-Driven Medical plan,
which gives me $1000 every year (w/ rollover) to spend more or less
as I see fit. After I use that, there's an $800 deductible and I get
regular PPO coverage. PPO is ~ $180/yr more expensive than the rest.
Any horror stories / good experiences to share? This is LA area, and
I'm young and have no dependents.
Thanks.
\- just a kaiser data point: i have no qualms about dealing with
kaiser in santa clara. however oakland kaiser seems to have a
high lamer factor ... bottom of the class types possibly, poor
english speakers etc. so you might check what kind of rep your
local kaiser has.
\_ Take the grand, find a crooked doctor that will give you the
cash...
\_ I chose Kaiser and here's what I think:
Pros: You get everything done in the same build.
You can walk in without making an appt with your doctor. (In
this case you may get an appt in a few hours or less for a
different doctor or nurse practitioner.)
Cons: It's both the medical provide and the insurance company. So
Cons: It's both the medical provider and the insurance company. So
it's very possible that they give you less treatment than you
deserve in order to save money.
To me, the convenience is more important.
\_ I had Blue Shield PPO, and it worked fine for me. Point of
clarification: Do you need PPO? Blue Shield HMO has worked
well for me since I switched (two years ago).
\_ I'm a little wary of HMOs personally; I'd at least like to
have the option of switching my primary care physician as
I see fit (so a POS plan would do). All of the non-HMO
plans are administered by my company so I have an
additional level of appeal if needed. My primary concern
is the Con listed above; it seems like a conflict of
interest. Then again, I also refuse to open any sort of
cash account with my credit card company because I don't
want them debiting that account to pay my bills "for me".
\_ My opinion: take the PPO if you can afford it. Take the POS next.
If you're on HMO and God-forbid *something bad happens* to you then
you're fucked. Try to make an appointment with a non-HMO doctor
as an HMO patient and you'll find they're all busy or not taking new
patients, etc. I currently have POS but would've gone PPO if the
option was available. HMO is only for poor people or those who
think they won't get sick or those with such huge medical
expenses they'd use up all their PPO benefits too fast.
\_ I respectfully disagree: If you have the right PCP, an HMO
is more than sufficient. Bear in mind, with Blue Shield HMO,
you can change your PCP at will; this is a very nice feature.
\_ If you can find a doc still accepting new patients!
PPO is good if you have an unusual condition and a specialist
who is not normally covered by your HMO network; remember,
though, you're going to pay for the privilege. I have a heart
condition, but I also have a really good PCP and a Cardiologist
in the same network, so HMO works like a charm for me.
\_ I agree. I run an outpatient surgery center -- and have had
firsthand experience with health insurances as a provider (as
well as a member). Not all PPOs are better than POS, but
Blue Shield is generally a very good PPO, which pays providers
fairly well (and motivates doctors, because they do work for
money). POS not too great -- although it is loads better than
HMO. HMO contracted doctors have to meet a quota of patients
and get paid very little per case, which affects their quality
of care. Kaiser is the worst, although there are exceptions
here and there. Kaiser has the conflict of interest of being
a medical group, a hospital, and an insurance company rolled
in one. I know doctors who have worked at kaiser who cannot
order tests they feel necessary because kaiser tries to keep
costs down, as an insurance company. In general,
PPO >> POS >>> HMO >>>>>> Kaiser --chris |
