As of a few minutes ago:

remember Barbara Walters made her career by sleeping around (per her own words)
Small claims court. They’re not going to send a $200/hr lawyer to defend a $59 suit, but they will have to pay the default judgement.
I think these are USB2, not firewire.. The file transfer rates using USB 2.0 is pretty good and not slow at all.
Okeefe HAD to have been a lesbian sex-addict. Her preoccupation with the V-JayJay is more than disturbing.
In today’s workplace a female must be lesbian in order to ‘sleep her way to the top’.
Thank you very much! :-)
“I just switched from Allstate.”
We did, too. To State Farm, and a better deal. Not sure of the figures, but DH commented on it.
“Sears and JC Penney.”
We ended our decades-long relationship with JC Penney (for retail, not insurance) a couple weeks ago when they hired Ellen Degeneres as their spokeslesbian.
“The companies will have a lot LESS to donate to the Democrats.”
I like the way you think!!
“I would see a Google move into cloud-base storage as a frontal attack on a weakened Carbonite, and that would make me quite happy ;-)”
I can’t recall all I’ve heard/read about Google, but most of it was very negative. I believe Gore was/is an integral player and “earns” tons of money from the company. Also, aren’t there issues with security and privacy? Actually, I’ve heard nothing good about Google from a conservative point of view.
Here’s the funny part of my switch: When I moved to Kentucky the change in agents was supposed to be seamless. Well, when I got here, sure enough the agent contacted me. But it was one of those agents that is a broker and represents several companies. So anyway, after a month I get a call from her saying I could save a hundred or so by switching to a different company. That alone sort of troubled me. But when she said what kind of coverage I had I told her I didn’t need full coverage on our 300m since it was getting on in years and miles.
So, four days later, a large deer runs into the side of the car (I actually was following my wife and watched it hit her) and call allstate to file a claim, and it turned out she had removed even comprehensive. Now, I understand the confusion in the way I communicated this over the phone so I didn’t pursue it, but I did call her and ask to have comprehensive put back on the car and took responsibility for the whole mess.
So, two months later I notice I’m not being charged any more (it was auto-pay). Apparently they had cancelled me and I didn’t even know it. I have yet to get anything from them and have moved on. I have yet to “officially” cancel, but I’m not being billed any more. I should take care of that, just to be sure, actually.

I agree. We’re in an American Revolution now, and that’s... well... WAR. Your suggestion harms nobody but sends a clear message.
Maybe everyone should call these companies’ 800 numbers, chit-chat forever (stutter if necessary), accumulate a huge shopping list, etc., then cancel the order before credit card info is given. They’ll get gigged for the phone call charges.
Personally, I never keep just one copy of a file, but that's just for starters. I suggest you buy three external drives from three different manufacturers. There have been instances where a particular model fails after having been marketed (like the 40 gig IBM from a few years ago), even multiple drives are no good if all the hardware is no good and fails due to bad design. Back up your files and take a drive to work and keep it in your desk drawer, keep it in a safe deposit box or give it to a friend to hold, just keep it off site. Every few weeks, swap it for the home drive that has the updated backup and then update the formerly off site drive when you get it home. Send a drive to your sister of brother-in-law somewhere in Denver or Oshkosh so if your hometown gets hit by tornado or an asteroid at least your files will still be safe. Finally, buy some thumb-drives and put your really important files on them and scatter them around, buy a few more when you need to update and add to the stash.
You don't need defense in depth for another picture of a rabbit with a pancake on it's head, but it's stuff like the data that represents the draft copy of the next great American novel you are writing that should get the extra protection from catastrophic loss. The one thing that the cloud does really well is that you can have all your data anywhere on the planet at the other end of an Internet connection, only you really don't need somebody else’s cloud, you can buy what are called networkable attached storage (NAS) hard drives or get something like the Pogoplug, hook up a USB drive to it and roll your own cloud, although you will have to consider the fact that your home server will probably not be on-line after the tornado hits and that you won't have a working Internet connection, or for that matter, power.
Well, you’d have to delete the previous version first before a new copy.
If you want to automate the backup, I like a free program called Cobian (version 9). It’s basically just an automated copier. You specify the source folders, the destination folder, and the number of different copies to keep on the backup device before they get rolled off. I never allow it to run all the time. I specify manual backups and just start it when I want a backup made, and then kill it.
I have no proof or knowledge that she was. Do you? b/c I would like to learn. :)

Belated thanks - looking at it ... ;-)
If it was my info I would be praying it wasn’t worth anything to sell...
