Blogroll has moved to a

Sushi Eating HOWTO
From
Sushi Eating HOWTO- The best sushi places I've been to in San Francisco, Mexico City, Zürich, Manhattan, Beverly Hills, Waikiki, Guadalajara, Paris, Moscow, Boston, Columbus OH (yes, you read that correctly), London, Amsterdam, Dallas TX, Milano, Toronto and Chicago have one thing in common: They have a very small sushi bar, i.e. they seat less than 12 people at the bar.
I've already got this ready for my link blog, but I'm posting it here as well. Best sushi —
Columbus, Ohio! Yeah! I'm for it baby! Sapporo Wind! Yeah! :)

Not looking good for this household…
nor for any other household in the US.
As a follow up to
this, we have a report from Slate about the current Treasury of State (and former CSX raper?) John Snow:
Being John Snow - The treasury secretary believes in a strong dollar. He also believes in Santa Claus.Buried among Snow's bromides was a massive contradiction about the dollar. The United States is in favor of a strong dollar, Snow said, because it's in favor of a strong dollar. Always has been. Always will. America is strong and so must its dollar be. But the United States, which favors free markets, also insists that the value of the dollar be set through competitive markets. In other words the United States wants a strong dollar in principle, but it also wants the dollar to weaken against the propped-up Chinese yuan, so that the trade gap narrows.
The market scoffed at Snow. As he spoke, the dollar plunged to a new record low against the euro. Snow's performance worsened during question time. When an audience member had the temerity to ask why Snow persisted in discussing the strong dollar policy while the greenback was plummeting, he simply responded "because it's our policy." Challenged again, he reiterated: "The policy is the policy."
Why do our officials bother to say that we're for a strong dollar, when we're plainly not? It has to do with our self-image—no country worth its salt openly says it wants its currency to be weak. But even economic policymakers as obtuse as Bush's should know by now that you can't make the dollar strong by talking about it. If a government is seriously interested in strengthening the path of the dollar, it can control spending and cut the deficit—policies this administration seems notably uninterested in.
It must be nice to be taking one for the team like this. "Keep saying this to placate the fools, while we do the absolute opposite!"
This is not good fiscal policy that we are seeing. Is it even a fiscal policy? Or is this a suicide run of lemmings?
Then we have from the Boston Herald:
Economic `Armageddon' predicted. Now this is from Stephen Roach, the head economist of Morgan Stanley, and I understand that he is pretty much always bearish, but reading this should give
any red-blooded American pause to think what is probably going to be in our near future.
Stephen Roach, the chief economist at investment banking giant Morgan Stanley, has a public reputation for being bearish.
But you should hear what he's saying in private.
Roach met select groups of fund managers downtown last week, including a group at Fidelity.
His prediction: America has no better than a 10 percent chance of avoiding economic "armageddon."
Press were not allowed into the meetings. But the Herald has obtained a copy of Roach's presentation. A stunned source who was at one meeting said, "It struck me how extreme he was - much more, it seemed to me, than in public."
Roach sees a 30 percent chance of a slump soon and a 60 percent chance that "we'll muddle through for a while and delay the eventual armageddon."
The chance we'll get through OK: one in 10. Maybe.
In a nutshell, Roach's argument is that America's record trade deficit means the dollar will keep falling. To keep foreigners buying T-bills and prevent a resulting rise in inflation, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan will be forced to raise interest rates further and faster than he wants.
The result: U.S. consumers, who are in debt up to their eyeballs, will get pounded.
Less a case of "Armageddon," maybe, than of a "Perfect Storm."
Roach marshalled alarming facts to support his argument.
To finance its current account deficit with the rest of the world, he said, America has to import $2.6 billion in cash. Every working day.
That is an amazing 80 percent of the entire world's net savings.
Sustainable? Hardly.
Meanwhile, he notes that household debt is at record levels.
Twenty years ago the total debt of U.S. households was equal to half the size of the economy.
Today the figure is 85 percent.
Nearly half of new mortgage borrowing is at flexible interest rates, leaving borrowers much more vulnerable to rate hikes.
Americans are already spending a record share of disposable income paying their interest bills. And interest rates haven't even risen much yet.
You don't have to ask a Wall Street economist to know this, of course. Watch people wielding their credit cards this Christmas.
Roach's analysis isn't entirely new. But recent events give it extra force.
The dollar is hitting fresh lows against currencies from the yen to the euro.
Its parachute failed to open over the weekend, when a meeting of the world's top finance ministers produced no promise of concerted intervention.
It has farther to fall, especially against Asian currencies, analysts agree.
The Fed chairman was drawn to warn on the dollar, and interest rates, on Friday.
Roach could not be reached for comment yesterday. A source who heard the presentation concluded that a "spectacular wave of bankruptcies" is possible.
Smart people downtown agree with much of the analysis. It is undeniable that America is living in a "debt bubble" of record proportions.
But they argue there may be an alternative scenario to Roach's. Greenspan might instead deliberately allow the dollar to slump and inflation to rise, whittling away at the value of today's consumer debts in real terms.
Inflation of 7 percent a year halves "real" values in a decade.
It may be the only way out of the trap.
Higher interest rates, or higher inflation: Either way, the biggest losers will be long-term lenders at fixed interest rates.
You wouldn't want to hold 30-year Treasuries, which today yield just 4.83 percent.
Good thing everybody got those rates locked in now. Of course, you may be wishing that you had gone for that 30 year loan.

I mean, I really hate software.
After the daily builds of Mozilla were going down hill extremely fast. The last one where I couldn't get a mailbox to update (It was complaining about permissions and disk space, which neither were a problem) I went back to 1.7.3.
Now, I was going to write about this last night, but between the 500 error message, and then their own error message kicking around, I couldn't. Grrrrrrrr.

Lyric Sunday
Fuel - Innocenct
Satan, you know where I lie
Gently I go into that good night
All our lives get complicated
Search for pleasures overrated
Never armed our souls
For what the future would hold
When we were innocent
Angels, lend me your might
Forfeit all my lives to get just one right
All those colors long since faded
All our smiles all confiscated
Never were we told
We'd be bought and sold
When we were innocent
This prayer is for me tonight
This far down that line and still ain't got it right
And while confessions not yet stated
Our next sin is contemplated
Never did we know
What the future would hold
Or that we'd be bought and sold
We were innocent

I've put back the
Blogrolling blogroll on the side. It should now be unduplicated from what I have listed in my
Bloglines blogroll.
Update: I fixed the contact button on the side. I didn't realize that it was broke. I still have an underline on the graphic, but I'm not going to futz with it. I didn't know what was going on with the Skype me! button, but that turned out to be a missing < on the img tag. And of course, on the first test, neither Blogroll nor Bloglines deigned me with an appearance of a blogroll. But it's been working now. Sheesh!

Memo to the American Middle Class: you're fucked!
From:
The Blogging of the President: 2004:
There's a simple number that tells us which side is winning the political economic war: distillates against gasoline.
Huh?
Roach joins the "make the poor pay" consensus.
The possible unwindings of the current US account deficit problems are simple:
1. Global financial meltdown, including an unravelling of US dollar position.
2. Unwinding of US overconsumption, requiring a 25% slash in US standard of living.
3. In a generation a global war for oil as unsustainable financial arrangements are rebalanced by military means.
The third is the least destabilizing: the US consumes too much of fundamentally scarce resources, and simply slashing the consumption of these resources down to a sustainable level - the Argentinization of America - would leave the wealthy intact at the top, trade arrangments as they are, and allow a gradual consumerization of more energy efficient economies - such as urbanized China.
Roach now joins the "Memo to the American Middle Class: you're fucked" consensus. That is what "a weaker US dollar rebalancing" means, because a weaker dollar means you have to work more to buy less from others.
Read the whole damn thing. It's rather depressing. Extremely when you don't have a job, and your job prospects which
should be looking good aren't looking so good.

The shocking truth about the FCC: Censorship by the tyranny of the few
From:
BuzzMachine... by Jeff Jarvis:
I filed a Freedom of Information Act request on Oct. 12 asking to see all of the 159 complaints the FCC cited in its complaint against Fox.
I just received the FCC's reply with a copy of all the complaints -- and a letter explaining that, well, there weren't 159 after all. William H. Davenport, chief of the FCC's Investigations and Hearings Divison, admits in his letter that because the complaints were sent to multiple individuals at the FCC, it turns out there actually were only 90 complaints. It gets better: The FCC confesses that they come from only 23 individuals.
It is shocking enough that what tens of millions of us are permitted to see by our government can be determined by 159 ... or 90 ... or 23.
Absolutely ridiculous! No, I should say, absolutely ludicrous!Two different letters. 90 complaints, but only 23 different individuals, and it comes down to
two letters!
I knew the FCC wasn't sane, but this is positively
insane!

Krauthammer is scared of two things: (1) that the Fundamentalist Christian Right will actually get from the Republican Party the agenda items they've earned over the last two decades, and (2) worse, that the rest of the country will notice and reject the power that the Fundamentalist Christian Right has established over the Republican Party.
You know, I've been suspecting that something like this might just happen And I can see that the FCR just might demand full repayment from this administration.

From:
FCC seeks legitimization of HUGELY expanded charterThe broadcast flag rule, distilled to its essence, is a mandate that all consumer electronics manufacturers and information technology companies ensure that any device that touches digital television content encrypt that content and protect it against unauthorized onward distribution.
The FCC has certainly extended its reach far beyond its charter. I really expect this to go to the Supreme Court. And I have a feeling that it will get smacked down big time.

CHECK IT LISTS
Check IT List: Essential e-mail policies
Nancy Flynn
08 Nov 2004
Rating: -4.50- (out of 5)
Whether you employ one part-time worker or dozens of full-time professionals, any time you allow employees access to your e-mail system, you put your organization's assets, future and reputation at risk. Regardless of industry type or company size, the accidental misuse and intentional abuse of e-mail by employees can create million-dollar headaches for employers. If employees are using e-mail to conduct business and engage in personal correspondence, the mix of professional and personal messages creates potential risk.
To ensure your small business' e-mail system is safe and secure and your employees are producing e-mail that is clean, clear and compliant, The ePolicy Institute recommends you apply these 10 e-policy tips.
1. Apply the three Es of e-risk management.1. Establish written e-mail rules and policies.
2. Educate all employees, from the summer intern to the owner. Written e-mail policy coupled with an effective employee education program may help your organization defend workplace lawsuits and other risks.
3. Enforce e-mail policy with a combination of discipline and monitoring/filtering software.
2. Address ownership issues and privacy expectations. E-mail belongs to the employer, not the employee. Use your e-mail policy to advise employees that the e-mail system — including all content, messages and passwords — is the property of the organization. If you monitor e-mail, tell your employees. Let employees know they have no reasonable expectation of privacy when using the company's e-mail system.
3. Control risk by controlling content. Is it possible your employees are insulting, defaming, harassing or otherwise offending customers, coworkers and vendors via e-mail? Couple content rules with employee education to ensure e-mail messages are as clean and clear as they are safe and secure.
4. Establish and enforce rules of netiquette. Employees have the right to work in an environment free from harassment, discrimination and hostility of any kind. Adherence to online etiquette, or netiquette, guidelines keeps employees' content clean and employers' liabilities in check.
5. Treat e-mail as a business record. E-mail creates a written business record that can come back to haunt you (or help you) in a lawsuit. According to the 2004 Workplace E-Mail and Instant Messaging Survey from American Management Association and The ePolicy Institute, 20% of employers have had e-mail subpoenaed and 13% have battled lawsuits triggered by employee e-mail.
6. Address personal use. Use your policy to let employees know how much, if any, personal e-mail use is allowed. Be specific. Leave no room for individual interpretation. Remember, an employee's interpretation of "appropriate" personal use is likely to be significantly different from your own. Spell out exactly when, for how long, with whom and about what topics employees may communicate.
7. Incorporate an overview of your sexual harassment and discrimination policies within your e-mail policy. Because of e-mail's relaxed, informal nature, some employees will put in writing comments they would never say aloud. Make sure employees understand that regardless of how a message is transmitted, an inappropriate comment is an inappropriate comment. All it takes is one offensive remark to land you on the wrong side of a costly, protracted lawsuit.
8. Address the sending, forwarding and receiving of spam in your e-mail policy. Establish a policy that addresses e-mail spam as a threat. Educate employees about spam and e-mail policy compliance. Implement technology to block spam at the gateway and eliminate the need for desktop management of unsolicited e-mail. Let employees know how you want them to handle unsolicited e-mail that violates policy.
9. Don't forget instant messaging. It's estimated that 25 million employees are using personal IM tools downloaded from the Internet. They put the organization at tremendous risk by communicating via public networks — without management's knowledge or written rules and policies to reduce liabilities. Manage IM today, or face legal, security and other challenges tomorrow.
10. Insist on employee compliance. Be sure every employee understands each e-mail policy and procedure and is clear on what constitutes appropriate and inappropriate use of the organization's e-mail system. Require each employee to sign and date a copy of every e-mail rule and policy, acknowledging that the employee has read, understands and will comply with the policy — or accept the consequences, up to and including termination. Create continuing education activities and tools to reinforce training and ensure e-mail rule and policy compliance.
I'm going to have some comments on this, after I've had a chance to better digest it. I know I already disagree with some things.

I can now be skyped, and have put in a button near my contact button (should those buttons be elsewhere? Anybody have an opinion?)
I did away with the blogrolling blogroll. I may take out the blogs from bloglines, and use blogrolling for those sites that don't have a feed, although I remember at one point in time, bloglines was accepting sites that didn't have a feed. Now, it doesn't. I sent bloglines a comment on that, and they are aware of it. :/ Of course, now that I have my own linkblog, do I want to keep up another blogroll.
I recently found out I had 5 people subscribed to me. Now I only have 3. :( Looks like Dave (scripting) and Dave (scripting2) unsubscribed me. Bummer. Hi xabbott! Long time no hear from!
I subscribe, just to make sure things look ok in the feed.
And I have a mystery admirer it seems (Hello mystery admirer!).
I hope to have an alternate color scheme up before too long.
I've upgraded to the latest/greatest Mozilla (nightly builds), and it seems that there are still some issues. Maybe I'll file a bug report. When my Bloglines tab updates, I lose focus in this tab (very annoying...)
Update: Scripting and scripting2 are no longer public. And I didn't grab a peek when I had the chance. Sigh.

Will dragging a file result in a move or a copy?
From:
Will dragging a file result in a move or a copy?:
Some people are confused by the seemingly random behavior when you drag a file. Do you get a move or a copy?
And you're right to be confused because it's not obvious until you learn the secret. Mind you, this secret hasn't changed since 1989, but an old secret is still a secret just the same. (Worse: An old secret is a compatibility constraint.)
- If Ctrl Shift are held down, then the operation creates a shortcut.
- If Shift is held down, then the operation is a move.
- If Ctrl is held down, then the operation is a copy.
- If no modifiers are held down and the source and destination are on the same drive, then the operation is a move.
- If no modifiers are held down and the source and destination are on different drives, then the operation is a copy.
This is one of the few places where the fact that there are things called "drives" makes itself known to the end user in a significant way.

Mozilla pisses me off.
Firefox 1.0 is out.
Now I'm a supporter of Mozilla, and I think this is nice. But let's face a few facts here.
I use Mozilla Suite. It's at 1.7.3. I've noticed bugs in 1.7, and .1, .2
and .3 haven't fixed those bugs. One would think that they
would be fixed. It's mostly cosmetic, but hey, if they are adding cosmetics, maybe they should be fixing those. Stuff like blockquotes and favicons. Nothing
too important. I guess. Sheesh.
Mozilla Suite is the more mature. What's up with writing extensions that only run under Firefox? It can't be that bad can it?
The roadmaps are a joke. They have the releases out before they get the roadmaps updated. I guess if you have an indefinate roadmap, any goal that's made is a good one I suppose.
Mozilla 1.8A4 has been out since 9/28, over a month ago now. I'd install it and check it out, but 1.8 release is liable to be out the day after I do that, so why bother?

Predictions
I've been down since Wednesday. It could be the election results. It could be that I'm trying to (prevent from) get sick. I dunno. I don't think I had that much emotionally invested in this election, as the result is certainly what I had been predicting. Things as a rule aren't going to change much right now, and that would be regardless of who won this week. But things will change over time. Things that I don't now, and certainly won't later, agree with. And I think that these things may be even disagreeable with others that I know voted for Bush.
Some predictions off the top of my head that I'll probably refine later.
Draft
You betcha there's going to be a draft. There are a couple of people that voted for Bush that are going to be extremely pissed off when they find out that their 14 year old sons will be shipped off to boot camp as soon as they graduate high school. You can't run off to Canada any more, that's not an option. And from what I've been reading, there will be
no deferments. College will have to wait till after they are back from their tour of duty.
No peace for Iraq
The next four years will show no credible increase in security and/or liberty for Iraq.
More war
There will be one more war. Chances are, it will be with either the Iranians or the Syrians. Empire building has to be continued. North Korea won't be attacked. In this way I should add…
Bring on the nukes!
There won't be a war with North Korea as they will simply be nuked into submission. This will be probably occur in the last year of the administration, and will be justified as North Korea throws one of their nukes uncomfortably close (possibly on) US territory.
The trouble with China
This part is extremely cloudy. Either we start war with China because they have a better economy than we do at the time, or we help them take over Taiwan, to put China in our pocket.
In the short term, tomorrow they release the job figures for October. If it's up, it isn't up by what they thought it should be or it will be revised downward next month, but I have a feeling that it will actually be down.

Get out and vote!
The_Rose and I walked to city hall and cast our respective votes.
No real lines, one was three deep, and the line for The_Rose and me was empty. She just didn't see where she was supposed to line up at. :-P.
Showed my ID (required by Florida law evidently, I can't ever remember showing ID in Ohio, but they watched me like a hawk when I signed the register, to compare signatures), got my sheet to vote (optically scanned forms, black felt tip pens for marking), and proceeded to mark up my ballot. Ripped off the stub, fed the sheet into the machine, deposited the stub, and then waited for The_Rose. We had 9 constitution amendments, and she wasn't sure about one of them.
Now we get to see what the results are tonight! Maybe. Possibly.
