Tom Maguire excepts a funny David Brooks piece

David Brooks is generally the liberals' Republican, but he wrote a funny piece that is off the reservation. Tom Maguire, at JustOneMinute, excerpts it.

Good News-Bad News

The good news is that the News Rover news group search found that there were Little Liana pictures posted to one or more news groups. The bad news was that the binsearch.info didn't find them. Little Liana is one of the paysites advertised on this one young girl picture website (legal pictures only, by policy). They have this free site that they use to advertise hardcore paysites for 18 and over girls.

Browsing news groups online

Despite the demise of alt.binaries.nl, we can still browse news groups online, without looking at the attachments, of course. I am using the binsearch.info facility for browsing that is similar to that found in the late lamented alt.binaries.nl.

boxxet.com links to my posts with fake pictures

I wasn't sure what Boxxet.com was, but it seems find. They link to my pictures, and have my old fake Dakota Fanning picture from 2007, if you can believe it. I hesitate to actually link, because Blogger can do strange things at times. You can copy and paste the URL into a browser or, better yet, search for Dakota Fanning fake picture.

The Google AdSense Privacy policy

I had been uncertain how to satisfy the Google AdSense requirement for a Privacy Policy. From several blogs, I found what I wanted to see. First was the policy example and the general scoop from Mark8T. The second piece was how to publish the policy. "News Update" (free-sms-mms.blogspot.com) told how to do it. I finally compliant, albeit a month late.

I keep finding new news groups with binsearch.info

I assume that alt.binaries.nl is permanently dead. It is too bad, as it had features not found in binsearch.info. In alt.binaries.nl, you could browse news groups from the web. You could not see files, but you could see the headers. Binsearch.info is still helpful, as I found two new news groups this morning, while looking for a specific topic.

In certain circles, you can't criticize Obama

This does not surprise me, given what we are seeing with the press. In certain social circles, you cannot criticize Obama. If you forget and do it, you find that all conversation has ceased.

I am now using binsearch.info for binary search

For uncensored binary search of news groups, I am using binsearch.info. At times, the NewsRover search will find things that binsearch.info will not find, but usually NewsRover search is censored, as far as I can tell.

Susan Boyle in 1984

After seeing the Flash video of Susan Boyle in 1984, you have to wonder how she remained undiscovered for so long. In 1984, she was in her prime and her appearance gradually deteriorated after that.

I enjoyed seeing Susan Boyle in 1984, when she must have been about 23

The new videos of Susan Boyle show her in 1984 singing "The Way We Were" and "I Don't Know How to Love Him". She must have been about 23 when she was recorded. The Daily Record has the original videos. This is the article for her singing "The Way We Were".
