Shenan Stanley, MS-MVP on tech-archive.net? WHY?

Shenan Stanley, MS-MVP needs to have his MVP status yanked.

I was googling for a way to stop, once and for all, Adobe's shockwave from installing or starting Norton PC whatever-the-crap-software, Shenan didn't help anon. and by default didn't help me.

But, that's not important right now, what is follows:
Check that link - he tells anon. that the SP2 update of WinXP does not "force" the user to install IE7 on their computer. True, but that is NOT what anon. said, nor was that anon.'s concern, nor was that anon',s IT dept.'s concern.

At the time IE7 was being PUSHED on MS customers of XP updating (or not, as it turned out) from SP1 to SP2, MS did not - in fact - force any user to install IE7, BUT every update would always INCLUDE the update to IE7 for EVERY SINGLE UPDATE AFTER installing any update or service pack from then on - until you would actually leave THE BOX CHECKED IN THE UPDATE LIST. Everytime, it never failed to be in s list and checked in that list.

At the same time, a MAJOR known issue of IE7 was that it was not compatible with Blackboard software. That affected a lot of schools who used and still use that service.

PeopleSoft also recommended a "not yet" attitude OFFICIALLY and with CONCURRENCE WITH MS regarding the install of IE7.

All this escaped an MS-MVP? Any MVP that new none of these issues or concerns needs MS to rescind the MVP title from those individuals - and use Stanley as a perfect example.

Shenan Stanley, MS-MVP - How DARE You?

D. L. Hughley should have new material, "...at least."

D. L. Hughley hoisted up the new 2008 series of Russell Simons' Def Comedy Jam with OOOOOOOOOOOld D. L. jokes, his old act. My God, man, HOW DARE YOU!

The NEW stuff is supposed to go in the middle, not the OLD shit.

Now just stop raping our time with that old shit, and gimme some new jokes, at least. I wish you would! We all...wish you would. At least.


Now, I got my own wood to take out, C-ya!

Go there, and multiply. Prince, How Dare You?

O Ye of Little Faith!



Prince, Pal, Bud....what in the HellBoy is wrong with ye? R U "Crazy"? Oar R U jus B Inge re-COCK-u-LOUS ?

It's a damned good thing that publishing to blogs and bloggers who publish are covered by U.S. Supreme Court Ruling regarding blogs and bloggers' FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. Ya, they are kind of covered as far as US law is concerned.

The first time I thought U might B a wee bit outta WHACK, was after hearing Kevin Smith's anecdotal evidence on his College Lecture Tour (also available on YouTube and DVD) - and with this latest spate of crit of your fans critting you, you done stepped over the line with this law suit crap.

B a part of the solution.

In support:






OK, that is the fun side of the issue. Now, for the serious side.
F.U.N.K. , How Dare You?
Kudos to your group in looking to quell anger or consternation among the Prince Nation of Fans, but frankly, if I want to start a blog (fan site), I will start one - whether it is for the P or against the P, I don't care all that much. I like Prince's music. As a person, Prince is a little cry-baby bitch. No, make that Bitch. I am not the problem nor the solution, nor should I be either. Prince is both the problem and the solution when it comes to fan sites (official or unofficial). Fan sites will exist or coexist with or without Prince's help. But, if Prince decides to interfere with the business of fan sites, he should best stay in the Dove World of Music and out the World of Law.
I mean COME ON, who in their right mind thinks an assistant can run out at 3am in the morning for some smokes, when all the damn stores are closed?
Prince, just stay here on Earth with the rest of the dove poop. Quit trying to fly around so high there, bud!

How to resolve the dispute over the Daily 49er's future

(Editor's note: This article first appeared in the Long Beach Press-Telegram. Reprinted with permission of the author.)

Commentary By William A. Babcock

Faculty members at California State University, Long Beach's Department of Journalism have a two-fold task: to help students understand the mass media and prepare them to survive and thrive in their chosen media field.

One of the best ways journalism instructors can foster the respect for a free and ethical press to both journalism majors and students from all academic disciplines is to provide them with opportunities for publication, be it in traditional print or photojournalism or online writing or graphics or streaming video. Nearly all comparably sized universities in America thus have hefty print and online daily campus newspapers.

Since coming here as department chair six years ago I have seen the number of majors in CSULB's Department of Journalism nearly double as the department has implemented a new student-friendly curriculum, brought in outstanding faculty with professional experience and doctoral degrees and recently become the home for the Southern California News Council. Earlier this year the Department of Journalism received a strong vote of endorsement by an Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications pre-accreditation team that came to Long Beach to assess Journalism's program.

The ACEJMC team, however, was critical of CSULB's lack of support for the campus newspaper, the Daily 49er, saying, "The University needs to face up to the challenge of sustaining a first-rate, independent campus newspaper." The ACEJMC report added, "Virtually no such independent campus papers can and do survive in U.S. universities on advertising revenue alone."

Unfortunately, the Daily 49er now survives almost exclusively on ad revenues, which lately have totaled about $300,000 per year. Thus, the print campus daily newspaper often consists of only a few pages of tabloid-sized newsprint. The Daily 49er generates nearly all of this advertising revenue. By comparison, the online version of the newspaper attracts about $500 in advertising dollars.

CSULB's Department of Journalism is one of nearly two-dozen departments in the College of Liberal Arts, which at one time paid the salary packages of two full-time professional Daily 49er employees and, more recently, made up for any red ink the paper incurred - a figure that often was between $20,000 and $30,000 per year, according to Daily 49er financial records.

Recently, CLA Dean Gerry Riposa said he is considering eliminating the daily print campus newspaper or reducing it to a weekly print paper, and plans to conduct a study to see if this might be feasible.

When he came to the Friday, Sept. 14, departmental meeting in Journalism's conference room to discuss such a study, three student journalists from the Daily 49er newsroom across the hall entered the conference room. A reporter from Long Beach's Grunion Gazette weekly also came into the conference room.

After a few minutes Riposa left the conference room, and was widely overheard in the hallway saying he did not want to discuss a feasibility study with student journalists present, and left the building. Two hours later a Sept. 12-dated memo from Riposa was hand delivered to the Department of Journalism announcing that as of September 2007 CLA would no longer cover cost overruns for the paper from its general funds.

The next working day Riposa said he was removing me as chairman of the Department of Journalism at the end of the week, even though I had been re-elected in May by Journalism faculty to another three-year term. I requested that he retain me as chair until the end of the 2007/08 academic year to avoid disruption to the Department of Journalism. He denied this request.

The purpose of this op-ed piece is not to argue with a dean's ability to dismiss a departmental chair, as chairs serve at the "pleasure" of deans. Rather, the hope is that:

1. Dean Riposa will once again decide that CLA has a stake in having a strong, vibrant, informative daily print and online campus newspaper, and that the college will help fund this daily newspaper accordingly.

2. Provost Karen Gould realizes that a strong, well-funded campus daily newspaper provides an invaluable service to and for all students in a way that is impossible for a journalism class- or lab-newspaper produced as the result of a course assignment for journalism majors.

3. President F. King Alexander exercises his ability to have students pay a modest $4 per semester "circulation" fee for receiving the print Daily 49er, and also provides university funds to offset the salary package (about $75,000) each year of one professional daily campus newspaper employee.

With a campus faculty and student body as large and diverse as that of CSULB, we can't afford to close this vital avenue of dialogue within our community. Riposa, Gould and Alexander are relatively new in their respective positions. The hope is that they all will understand the benefits of fiscally supporting a strong, non-lab print and online daily campus newspaper to which all 35,500 students have been welcome to contribute and of which everyone at CSULB will be proud.

What pisses me off about this, isn't the call for help proposed here by Babcock, but that the writer/publisher feels that much will be righted if we contact Babcock. No, I say. Much comfort might come to Babcock by writing to him. But, as with Congress, if you want it done, you complain about the top to the top - that would be Risoto, Roposa, whoever, you know who I mean. You put the journalistic pressure on that guy, and then you will get change. If a community college can get a butt load of plants removed from a lobby, a Fonte off their backs, and have a Chairman change his mind before we change his eating, drinking, & private "clubbing" arrangements, all by direct confrontation and commentary, then so can Babcock get his word to the wise-ass, I mean WISE MAN, Rizzo, Riposa, wh...you know who I mean.

So now you ask, "Who cares, and why are they all in one list?". The Answer: Because their Backup & Restore policies are IDENTICAL - which is fine, but unless they are violating copyright laws through rampant plagiarizing - unlikely - then they are (and in fact are) all one corporate umbrella. But the policy?

Answer:

"
Backup / Restore

1. WhomeverIsInTheAboveList.com does not maintain backup copies of Customer Web sites or e-mail.
2. WhomeverIsInTheAboveList.com cannot guarantee that the contents of a Web site will never be deleted or corrupted, or that a backup of a Web site will always be available.
3. We ALWAYS recommend that Customers copy all content of a Web site to a local computer and strongly suggest that Customers make an additional copy (on tape, CD, multiple floppies, another desktop, or elsewhere) to ensure the availability of the files."

Identical, as in all other parts of any one of these companies' agreements. Also identical is engineering, Level 1 2 and 3 Tier support personnel and companies - all shifts. 1st shift is outsourced to India (what a surprise), 2nd shift is outsourced to a company in California, and 3rd shift happens to be handled by Purehost.com itself - for all of these companies - the corporate alliances have changed a bit from whence cam PureHost via SprintHost via DellHost (remember that nightmare?)

iPhone Unlocked + Apple's iPhone update 1.1.1 = APPLE is a MORON

iPhone Unlocked + Apple's iPhone update 1.1.1 = iDoorstop or the iBrick (there has to be more) and a damned illegal thing for Apple to have done to its iPhone users! Yes, it is actually illegal (it's punitive).

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR iPHONE with 1.1.1 if you have "unlocked" your iPhone* and installed any 3rd party apps on it, which is, by the way, legal for OWNERS of iPhones to do - the Supreme Court said 3rd party apps installed on devices is exempt.

UN-INSTALL all 3rd party apps

RE-LOCK your iPhone to "day one" status (if you unlocked it properly, you WILL be able to do this!)

THEN update with iPhone update v1.1.1

THEN RE-UN-LOCK your iPhone.

THEN Re-Install your favorite 3rd party apps.

WARNING = this is LIKELY to work and still leave your iPhone usable and with your added 3rd party apps re-installable.

The method above will HAVE to be re-done for EVERY future iPhone update.
------------------------------------

You WILL have to update it anyway, just do it right. If you do it wrong, or if you do not update, then parts of your iPhone will stop working before your very eyes.

Ah, and Speaking of French Apple Pie Waste:
(were we?)

It seems the French company Vivendi is complaining of Apple's iStore charging too much for songs.....give it up, Frenchie, you know you can - you are experts in surrendering. So, surrender to your Bitch-master, Vivendi, and wine no more.

I am not french.

CDT-05 released from the factory too soon!

As the scratchworx website image verification NEVER works, here is what I tried to let everyone there know:

Just opened up 2 CDT-05's, shipped only 9 weeks late of promise (from the dealer) and the table on one of the units just will not spin. It's as if someone on the assembly line forgot to plug something. What a joke. Way to go, Gemini!

Gemini includes no right-angled plugs - power or audio - but should be an industry standard, this caused me to cut back the foam AND go to Radio Shack for yet more electronic parts & adaptors that should always be thought through and included.

The Vinyl controller locking disc (the label-sized fastener disc) is now PLASTIC, and not metal as I had previously seen from early show pics. The body is a charcoal gray, and is indeed plastic, not metal - what a surprise. The tonearm counter weight is strange, hanging back out almost completely off of the tonearm for an Ortofon? Whoa! Also, zero instructions on what gets attached first: The control vinyl? The slipmat? The other mat? The control disc that locks the vinyl (?) down is pretty easy to figure, but come on! At least pictures if not SOME narrative. I guessed with success.

Odyssey does not yet make a foam-lined case big enough for these CDT-05's for battle (but who does, really, make a case deep enough for permanent battle setups?), but, they should start. This really doesn't matter as almost all the new Numarks and Gemini TT's are at least 17+3/4" wide, and with only 17" of clearance after adding the typical 1" foam on all sides of the TT compartments in Odysseys largest (widest)...get it?

The other case design consideration? The front-RIGHT slot loading CD hole makes for an interesting re-design of the popularly asked for - bit rarely built - drop-down sectioning of the front lip of a DJ coffin (this would be ideal, of course). The CDT-05 came out in March 07, so one would think that Odyssey could have built a case with such in mind by August! Nope.

CDT-05? Gemini? Good idea, but Gemini is not improving their rep sending out TTs that have not ALL been at least plugged in and run to see if the basics work. They are also not improving their rep by insisting - after 20 years+ in the business - that all repair work be done in NJ. Ridiculous.

Odyssey? Can you say "Retrofit", that's what I am doing - cutting out foam pockets and getting the saws-all out of its new box to cut me some drop-down flaps for easy slot access!


Damn you, Gemini!

iTunes be strokin' it!

Yep. first time! iTunes is now in the Big Leagues with the Big Boys - their latest update (7.1.1.5 - the ".5" is another in a long line of AAC-crack buster algos) - iTunes is now installing a KEY LOGGER.

I use ZA Pro, so I just DENIED iTunes from ever being able to LOG KEY STROKES.

What Bullshit, Apple?

Just say no to iTunes needing to record your keystrokes, as it would never have to.

RIAA p0wns NIU?

RIAA? How DARE You? Obviously, enough said. Just boycott the RIAA as much as would be practical.

Anyway, that "said", I am ashamed (I used to be proud) of NIU and their recent stance (legal?) on the 23 NIU students recently under charges brought by the RIAA, NIU's recent OFFICIAL stance that the NIU lawyers have recently contacted each of the students and have told them to get their OWN LEGAL REPRESENTATION!

When I attended NIU, NIU provided an Ombudsman for students. Yes, to use the Ombudsman was a lengthy and ridiculously onerous process, BUT we had an Ombudsman. Apparently, the Ombudsman is no longer available for students.

Speaking of legal issues: The local cable company having carried NIU's student-run TV station on its channel 73 (or 83?) have CUT THEM OUT and OFF the system. Why?

How DARE You?

NIU? How DARE You?

Ana Rincon is an idiot.

Her info on how to handle copyright violators is laughable if it weren't so scary and if it weren't for the fact that every body does this when confronted with SOME ONE ELSE'S Copyrights being violated!

Stupid. You do not - and according to the Act CAN NOT - take ALLEGED Copyright violators to court UNTIL you have at least followed the grievance procedures set out BY THE ACT. The Act supersedes any and all other sanctions IMAGINED yet still printed, publicised, adhered to by Colleges, High Schools, Libraries, companies, etc, all blindly thinking they know Copyright Law. The Copyright Act is not huge and nor hard to read. The DMCA bullshit, however, is complicated and is hard to read, but what of it?

The ONLY course of action for you to take when you feel violated is to report the violation to the PEOPLE THAT CAN AND WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT LEGALLY! That would be the US Copyright Office for ALLEGED Copyright infringement. Your College has NO BUSINESS accusing anyone nor imagining anyone of violating copyright law - how can they? No college employee nor student anywhere in the US can legally enforce ANY violation of the Act. Enforcement of the Act is the sole territory of the US Treasury Department. A college employee certainly can not enforce any ALLEGATIONS of same. And yet most schools print in their Policy Manuals words to that detrimental effect. I can not wait to get into the court system over Person A accusing Person B (me, in this case) of violating Person C's copyright, I live for this shit.

If you see a customer copying something at Kinko's, say of a picture taken by a photographer that you know Personally, and you some how, some way, find out that this customer does NOT have the Copyright Holder's permission to copy that picture, is there anything that you can do on behalf of your photographer friend?

Well, yes, there is something we can do to help the friend - one thing, and one thing only: You can call him on the phone and ask him to get his ass down quick to the Local Kinko's, because , "Dude, someone is copying one of your photographs from one of your published books! You better get down here and kick this guy's ass! I talked with a Kinko's employee about it and they said they only refuse to copy the works themselves, unless THE CUSTOMER gives a copy of signed permission form FROM the original Copyright Holder".

And that, my friends, is all that anyone can and is allowed to do under the Copyright Act. In this case, since I am not the copyright holder, I can not accuse nor report this Kinko's customer to anyone except the original copyright holder - period. I cannot complain to the Office of Copyright, the cops, the Kinko's store managers, no one except the original copyright holder. And if the original copyright holder does not care (about this one-time infringement) then I still can not do anything more. That is all.

Look it up: In your State, there are a list of crimes that can be reported and to whom they can be reported. Unfortunately there is no list of alleged crimes that CAN NOT be reported.

The Kinko's case is brought in here because Kinko's the company was once involved in a Copyright infringement case, that ultimately put ALL copy stores and libraries with copy machines "On Notice". The settlement specific to Kinko's was that they must FOREVER and ALWAYS (this now includes FedEx's ownership interest in Kinko's) must refuse all customer requests to make copies of customer's work unless the Kinko's Mange or employee attempting to do the work is ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the CUSTOMER owns or holds ALL copyright to all the work that the customer wishes the Kinko's employee to copy.

ANY and ALL COPYRIGHT infringement can only be PROVED, DISPROVED and SETTLED first with the Office of Copyright, and if not there, then appealed to a COURT of actual LAW. Why do we not know this in America?

How hard is that, really?

Factoring out the fear.

Joe Rogan, you are the MAN.

What the FUCK is going on here people?

Mitzi? If I EVER thought of doing standup again, it would have to be when you fire your sons from running the Comedy Whore (I meant Store). That you should even have to HEAR Joe's "side" of things is laughable - the mere thought of it is damned funnier than Mencia.

And what about Paul Rodriguez? He is one funny brown man. goddam! And fuck you Wikipedia for not listing Rodriguez at the top of the (at least Menstealia is near the bottom).

You know, we had Calos Mencia here at our school, the College of Lake County*, and yes, he was funny. But, not funnier than George Lopez (George must cringe everytime he hears one of his jokes come out of Ned) whom we have not had here, yet. At least George's fist in Mencia's face is funny.


* Yah, the same College of Lake County that Edward James Olmos cancelled TWO (2) appearances. (He has now the nickname of Edward James Almost because of it, too).


On the other hand, I don't care who handed Joe the microphone: because KUDOS to you my man or woman, KUDOS TO YOU!

Where the hell did that tuition go?

Well, now Carder apparently did it this time, according to the blog, Bad Cop News
the girl in McHenry was 12 years old when the two first "fell in love".

Obviously, the CLC Radio Really Local News Bed Team is at a real loss for words here.
(This story has been expanded upon at that blog)

In light of the old story where she was "15" when the young lovers were "introduced", Campus Safety Director Kevin Lowry has taken his cause (in the long, slow wake of Allen's comments to the Faculty Senate last year) recently to the Student Government Association Senate in asking their endorsment in renaming and outfitting the Campus Safety Department as a Campus Police Department.

We say the timing couldn't be better to request such a thing what with reputations the way they are.

Yeah.

And we're not being sarcastic, either! Pehaps Mr. Lowry's best "Direction" is teaching, after all.

We sure aren't leaving. Wild horses couldn't drag us away.

Illinois State Agency Web Standards do not work

There is absolutely zero excuse for the following website to be down:

http://www100.state.il.us/iwas/


The page we get:

Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

JRun closed connection.

-------------------end

HA! Unbelievabull. Who is their ISP? Idiots anyway - FIX THE LICENSING ISSUES MORONS! GET THE CORRECT VERSION AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THIS ERROR.

The page is supposed to inform us of Illinois Web Accessibility Standards (talk about your handicapped websites)

First of all, IMHO, CLC should have an injunction against Illinois as to our "agency" status, until our "agency" status can be proved or disproved or NOT approved.

NO college should ever be considered a "State Agency". Gavoyabitch, you IDIOT!
(I would be more vocal, but I am not registered again, but will be soon all because Ron Lackey is running for CLC Board of Directors - Lackey and Lumber or Lackey and Barb O,, just say no to Lumber AND Barb O).

If CLC is considered a state agency, then web standards of the state for everybody, but NOT UNTIL THE DAMNED WEBSITE WORKS THAT IS SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN WHAT THOSE STANDARDS ARE! Sweet, sweet irony, folks!

G4TV

There is a reason I stopped watching C.O.P.S. Nothing against the professionals, I am just sick of not seeing an episode of white-collar crime investigation or "sting". Now THAT would excite me enough to tune back in.

I am at a cross-roads continuing to watch G4TV - y'alll know how I feel about the stupid "car" show - other thtn watching the always hilarious KP and OM, and AS & MW, I like the Trek - gimme dat Trek - buit, once I saw late-night back-to-back episodes of COPS, I almost puked.

In favor of more Trek episodes, the monkey brains at G4 decided that COPS was "it"? Why? Because of requests from the forums?

HA HA HHA HA HA H HHHHA! Idiots.

Bring back the goodness, and by that I mean Norton, Rose, LaPorte, keep the Wed and Munn and Parrera and Sessler, but lose everybody else (OK keep that other dude that sometimes works with Munn and Par. Oh, keep the "Black Guy", he's good - he just has to "talk s l o w e r).

Tipping Cows, Tipping Chairs, a city in Japan, or Just PlainTipping?

Poor B & N baristas. Mr. B & Mr. N, don't allow barista employees to solicit tips. Come to think of it, neither does Starbucks allow their employees to ask for tips.

So everybody, just tip the barista, dammit! (10% is good enough - no need to go nuts here).

THEN AGAIN:

STOP putting chairs up in the cafe on tables BEFORE closing. Chairs are being put up 2 hours before closing. Uh, No.

STOP lying to customers about WHEN you baked and how often you clean tables, "Every hour, sir". Uh, no, as SOON AS A CUSTOMER LEAVES A TABLE is when you JUMP to it and clean that table.

This all at the Deerfield, IL store (02020).
