truedelphi's JournalDoes anyonehere know of a decent "recording studio" set of
Software?
Something I can use to record my poetry, music and what not? With all the usual features a person would have inf they were in a recording studio.
Pls Help! My computer re-assigned names so the USB port is now called
Teh D drive.
I am attempting to use a new Memory stick. It is listed as being compliant with my machine (XP, WIndows)
I am putting the device into the USB port, which was once considered to be the H drive. That port is now listed as D drive.
Yet the computer itself keeps telling me that I cannot copy over my files into the memory stick until I put the stick into the D drive. It is already there.
Why is the computer confused? And yes, I have poked around with this and made sure the device is securely embedded into the USB port (Carefully avoiding the Trident symbol port)
and had the spouse help too. Still ain't working.
Can anyone answer a question about Birth Control and Payments and all the controversy
According to this very fine article written way back in 2010, the following is the case:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/07/12/the-coming-battle-over-the-cost-of-birth-control.html
There are many confusing details about this no co-pay birth control policy that's why there are many concerned citizens who are against it. But despite of that there are many US citizens especially women who are approve of this policy. Starting in 2013, no insurance company will be able to charge co-pay for birth control, with specific exceptions. Contraception drugs won't cost any woman with health insurance any cash. The proof is here: Insurance companies cannot demand co-pays for birth control. Not all are happy about this new policy and two of them are the conservative groups and insurance companies but they can do nothing about it.

Note the section in Bold.
Does the recent brouhaha remove the 2013 provisions that state that there must not be any co-pays for contraception of any kind? Or not?
Any and all advice appreciated.
Has there ever a funnier TV sitcom than The Big Bang?
"The IT Team" was pretty hilarious, but I'm not sure it counts as you had to have cable to get it.
And the IT Team only lasted two seasons or so.
And if there has been a funnier TV show that TBB, it certainly cannot claim to have gotten around to teaching a person as much about deep levels of physics.
Jon's thesis at the beginning of his spiel on the Bain Corporation is that
What has happened in America is that starting in the eighties, our nation has collectively witnessed a group of people who had become multi-billionaires, and they then used their money and influence to purchase the right to entitle the elite to continue to rake in the profits. While excluding almost everyone else.
Stewart asked Mr Macey to explain to him how this was not so. Who better than a Law School Professor at Yale?
And Macey said he could do so, but in the end he only helped promote Stewart's contention that our economy is a rigged economy. Jon did not elaborate on this is how we are in the fix we are in - we no longer produce anything but transfers of corporations from one group of people to another. Right now, 47 to 48 cents of every dolalr made in America is made inside the Financial Sector. (Up from some 8 to 9 cents on the dollar in the early 1980's.)
This is a horrific sum of money. Half the money in our economy is now simply going back and forth from one rich group of people to another. And this doesn't even begin to get into the story of how when all these investors make bad bets, we in the lower 99.5 % of the economy are forced to bail them out!
Jon Stewart's guest last nite: Yet another reaon why we are in so much economic trouble
So last night, Wed Feb 8th 2012, Jon Stewart had a professor of law at the Yale University School of Law on as a guest.
This man, Jonathan R. Macey, addressed an example that Jon was holding up as to the malfeasance of Big Time Investment people like Mitt Romney.
While Mr Macey was in "The Green Room," Jon had been entertaining the audience with the tale of how Mitt Romney, while working for the Bain Corproation, helped to obtain the purchase of a vision/optical laboratory for some 50+ millions of dollars. Mitt and the Bain Corporation then went on to rake up over 300 millions of dollars worth of payments to themselves, and two years after those payments were made, the firm was put into bankrupcy. During the bankrupcy procedures, I imagine that whatever portion of the workers' pensions funds had not already been used up by the award of huge dividends to themselves, those remaining funds were then used to help the Bain Corproation lawyers proceede in handling the bankrupcy proceedings. (That is usually how it is done.)
I have to say, this is a pretty good gig if you can manage it, especially given that the Bain folks used other people's money to help them obtain the corporation.
Macey explained patiently to Jon Stewart that there is nothing wrong with what the Bain Corproation did. And the only way that anyone from Bain could be held responsible is if someone could somehow prove that the Bain folks had the intention of ruining the eye/vision corproation while they drained it of all its assets.
Now one of the things that I find the most remarkable about all this is that Macey is not just "an expert." No, he is not some economic expert. He is a LAW PROFESSOR. He is someone entrusted with teaching the up and coming generations as to how they go about conducting business in AMerica.
One can only imagine a young Mr Massey, age eight, swiping all the cookies out of the family cookie jar. He sits hidden in his bedroon closet, and when confronted with this offense, he wisely and ethically points out to his parents, that he did nothing wrong. And that only if they can somehow "prove" that he intended to deprive the rest of the family the luzury of having these cookies, is he willing to hear that he did something wrong.
Should anyone wish to watch last night's show, you go to Comedy central.com, then you go to Daily Show, then you go to watch entire episodes, then select the Feb 8th 2012 episode. (Most of this will be in the upper left hand section of your computer screens.)

Is this earth's inner core emanating large rumbles exciting news or
New Age fictitious portrayal?
http://www.sott.net/articles/show/240851-Powerful-Energy-Release-Emanating-From-The-Earth-s-Core-Recorded
According to GNFE President Professor Elchin Khalilov, the detailed analysis of ATROPATENA station records indicates a powerful energy release emanating from the Earth's core. According to the scientist, this fact may herald intensification of geodynamic processes in our planet and as a result, a higher number of strong earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.
As GNFE President Professor Elchin Khalilov told WOSCO news agency, ATROPATENA earthquake forecasting stations record particular three-dimensional gravitational anomalies that occur, on average, 3-7 days before strong earthquakes. These anomalies are generated by the passingof tectonic waves (stress waves) under the stations; they are emitted by the focuses of imminent large earthquakes at the moment when the stresses in them reach critical values.
I had never even heard of noScript till this topic came up
And I am copying your suggestion(s) into this reply so I can put it all in my folder

31. Does No Script block Long lasting Storage Objects..?
View profile
those "secret" cookies that flash and other programs put on your computer that do not show up in the "cookies" folder?
I have Better Privacy, another Firefox add-on, that makes the invisible cookies go away.
used to run No Script until it was revealed that No Script was actually allowing some scripts in that were paid for.
And a big big thank you for providing asll that info.
I don't like appearing too ignorant in public, but does the OP refer to anyone who ever uses the google search features, or is it just about people who have google email acounts?
And I am copying your info, Lionessa, so I can have it in my journal for future reference.

8. Firefox NoScript allows me to block google/google analytics/googleapis, so except when I'm on
specific sites that I know are google related sites, google doesn't have a clue what I'm doing. I have to re-"allow" aspects of google when I go to those aspects. I guess it helps that I have little use for google services, not being a social media person, nor spend much time on youtube, or any of that. So for me it's mostly blocked, even though I have a hotmail account, and I think that's google, isn't it?
As many others here probably know,
But I had to look it up, the following is extremely pertinent
from the Federal Reserve website off its own web pages:
Table 1A. Memorandum Items
Table 1A presents selected items that do not directly affect the Federal Reserve's assets and liabilities but are related to important roles that the Federal Reserve plays. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York acts as a custodian in holding securities on behalf of foreign official and international institutions. Market participants often look for trends in these data to gauge foreign demand for U.S. Treasury and agency securities. This table also presents information on the securities lent by the Federal Reserve under its securities lending programs. As noted in more detail in Lending to primary dealers, the Federal Reserve lends securities from its portfolio of Treasury securities and federal agency debt securities to foster efficient and liquid trading in the market for these securities. When securities are lent, they continue to be listed as assets of the Federal Reserve because the Federal Reserve retains ownership of the securities."
So basically we have some semantics here. Many who support everything that happens in this nation, as long as it happens at the behest of someone with a supposed "D" after their name (Though I don't know that Geithner or Bernanke are really Dems) will argue that putting up the Federal Reserve money as securities to the Biggest Banks doesn't count as a loan.
But the fact of the matter is that once the Biggest Banks lose the money they are fond of placing into exotic trades, they will certainly have no reservations about glomming on to those security funds. Of course, with the exception of people like Kucinich, Ron Paul, Grayson and one or two others, no one seems to talk about this out loud. The American middle class is now so firmly entrenched in fear and exhaustion, they no longer can think straight.
So sins that our fathers and mothers' generation would have never let come to pass are continuing.
