If you would like to support the site my generally Paypal is really the only way to do that right now. There are other services that I have investigated at the suggestion of readers and friends of WARN. Unfortunately, they did not seem like a good fit. If you have any suggestions by all means pass them along.chauncey devegahttp://wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-6033731754937377692014-09-22T10:17:59.576-05:002014-09-22T10:17:59.576-05:00Please advise how to send money other than Paypal,...Please advise how to send money other than Paypal, I don't work well with those things.Soulflowernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-55207195308943130422014-08-16T01:41:21.389-05:002014-08-16T01:41:21.389-05:00I will need to read that book.

I have not been a very good commenter lately here, but I do try to keep up at least reading your always excellent blog and the mostly good quality comments.<br /><br />Are you familiar with Derrick Jensen and his work? Apologies if there are issues with him I am not aware of; some people <br />don't like him much. But he had an interesting podcast interview last <br />month with <a href="http://prn.fm/resistance-radio-charles-derber-072714/" rel="nofollow">Charles Derber</a>, whom I had not heard of before. Derber has written quite a few books; the recent one they were talking about is <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sociopathic-society-charles-derber/1115263804?ean=9781612054384" rel="nofollow"></a>. (the subtitle is a deliberate homage to Howard Zinn, who was his friend and mentor, and his <i>People's History of the United States</i>). That is a depressing title and it was kind of a depressing podcast, but it sort of explains what it is we have here in the USA.<br /><br /><br />I hope you can go to the Comic Con. You deserve to get to. I have had several coworkers and friends who have gone to these. My former Dr. went to the Chicago one with her teenage daughter once; they had costumes and everything and also a current coworker goes with her daughter. They sound like fun but I'm not sure it would be exactly my sort of thing -- I just don't seem to get into that kind of dress-up frame of mind.OldPolarBearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-16271124132390632052014-08-14T23:38:57.022-05:002014-08-14T23:38:57.022-05:00Do the new patches turn off the remote control sup...Do the new patches turn off the remote control support feature that allowed "authorized users" to access a windows pc online?chauncey devegahttp://wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-87418774260142866982014-08-14T20:49:04.075-05:002014-08-14T20:49:04.075-05:00Protecting computers from nasties is like putting ...Protecting computers from nasties is like putting on a condom after you have sex.

"Microsoft security team" called my house and informed me of a csrss.exe virus that had infected my computer. They convinced me to sync my computer up with theirs to get rid of it. After they performed a scan on my computer they told me I would need to buy a new Microsoft Security Key for $150 to get rid of the trojan.<br /><br />I did not give them this money. I disconnected from their computer and called a friend, then looked up this scam. I don't know if they still have access to my computer activity so I am very hesitant about giving my financial information online.<br /><br />I don't know why I fell for it. I was extremely careful and they gave me my computer's security key before I synced with them and it was correct...<br /><br />I reset my computer's data to a few days prior to contact from them. I still don't know if my computer has a serious virus. It seems to run well, but my system care system needs to run every few days to stay in good condition.<br /><br />Anyone have any advice, I would appreciate it.<br /><br /><br /><br />Chauncey, I'll talk to the wife about throwing you some cash, we can use a different computer to send it.Myshkin the Idiothttps://www.facebook.com/myshkintheidiotnoreply@blogger.com
