JeromeS,

An Atheist can discriminate against religion by their religion of not believing in a God and that too in fact a religion. It can violate discrimination laws in regards to hiring practices.

rob_c,

Balkins. I can say whatever I want about religion. It's an open forum. I'm not interviewing you or hiring you. We have zero connection other than bantering here on archinect. As a private citizen I can say anything I want about religions. It's a free country and I have the right to do so. Save me a copy paste bulletin from the department of labor or elsewhere because I don't give a shit.

Don't cry to me when you screw up and your employees sue you for discriminatory actions in how you treat them because what you say can open the doors to grounds in which they can hold as a pattern of thinking to substantiate that you illegally discriminate.

Be careful, just because I am not your employee doesn't mean that what you say here can't be used against you. Search & Seizure of computer equipment and analyzing the computer, they can point and link you to this account on Archinect and then use what you say here. There's a fingerprint of your computer activity. In addition, the servers that runs this site, has log records of every computer IP address that accesses the server for any web site hosted. These are in backup records. In addition, the government has computer systems tied into EVERY SINGLE internet backbone and ISP infrastructure in the United States. So every computer's online activity is recorded and stored on all sorts of records.

Aren't all us spookies a little unstable? Maaaaaaybe. 

--- Don't bomb the U.S. Don't be a terrorist. Don't threaten to assassinate the President of the United States. Don't threaten to MASS MURDER. Don' threaten JIHADS. 

Maybe I got the Carnivore's or a decendent system's attention. Packet Sniffers... SNIFF AWAY, RECORD AND ARCHIVE.

Just so you know rob_c, right now, I am deliberate f---ing with your mind.

LOL...

null pointer.

Actually they have systems if that sort at the NSA. Some of those systems using NarusInsight software. Another is using a transceiver built into a USB stick. Many cases, its bluetooth technology they will use. Some computers and devices have the radio built in. All they need to do is hack the computer (or use a built in backdoor Microsoft implemented for NSA and their own purposes which Apple does the same and NSA knows the backdoors into the computer. Then employ a program that will not show up in the task manager as a process and that process would take information from the computer and transmit it. They just have a operative (agent) with an in the field computer device to receive the information. 

Not something tin foil aside for it and old metal coat hangers makes for an antenna.

Not really any news. Those programs looks for key words and when the data passes through a backbone as they all do, it flags it and records the TCP/IP or UDP packets of data. They know when and where the packets are coming from as it circulates the internet backbones where ALL internet traffic passes through. Is it a joke? Not really. Is it sci fi? No. More like science fact. It isn't something that is that big of a secret. It is probably more a matter of screwing with NSA than anything else.

I was comparing Cliff May to Will May when I made that statement JBeaumont. I said, I rather be Cliff May than Will May. Will May is no Cliff May. Different people. Different talents. Different degree of success.

Don't forget, he had started in the 1970s. He built more of a career and name before the recession hit. In addition, he was in the midst of a big city and he had the 1980s period of housing boom to support things. In my locale, its not about new construction. It is about preservation, restoration and renovation.

For the most part, I predominately began in 2006. Two years in, I had a recession that impacted my business for 5+ years. 

No not really but there packet sniffers sniff every data packet and content  passing through the internet backbone. I through several key words that would flag the packet sniffer software in a previous post which could draw people to look at the posts.

NSA evidence counts because they are the GOVERNMENT. Inadmissibility does not apply to such clandestine agency with the God like power of the Department of Homeland Security. They transcend even the judges. They are statutorily ABOVE the law and untouchable. They have record keeping of all data that passes through the internet on super computers the size of the city of Los Angeles, California in underground desert facilities. 

You say so.

LOL! 

We are now having fun, aren't we.  Don't be so serious. Have a smile.

To placebeyondthesplines,

Are you kidding me?

I'm NOT a sex offender, ASSHOLE !!!!

How about.....

It's the silver pin. The yellowish hue is just the camera and lighting environment. 

I didn't notice it. Corrected. Problems with importing from an earlier Linkedin profile which I corrected there. 

So damn what. Its a lapel pin. You don't have any value for the AIA. Fine. 

I'm currently enrolled in IDP. I have an active NCARB Record #. I'm adding an architect to my business as a business partner in the near future. I would be getting IDP training hours and so forth.

Working towards licensure means working on IDP training hours. I should probably be speeding up on the hours reported but it doesn't necessarily require being an employee of an architect.

Right. 

DeTwan,

Actually, I have not been banned from every forum. There's a degree of actual exaggeration. A number of the Commodore community members aren't perfect examples of saints and mental stability.

Aluminate:

If you knew or know anything about Commodore equipment, Commodore floppy disks are not compatible with Windows ordinarily recognized file formats. Disks were on 5.25" floppy disks. In order to get those programs onto the internet, involves a bit more than just dragging the file icons onto the Windows hard drive and uploading the files. If you even think that, you would be horribly dead wrong and clearly demonstrate total lack of knowledge of Commodore 64/128 computers and the differences. 

Especially back at that time and I am referring to the options available then.

There are a few pathways to do the stuff. 

Option 1: Use a x1541 or similar cable and use some sort of PC transfer software. This is not something that typically comes with the computer and is more 'after-market' stuff that had variable quality of results. There is a number of factors that can make file transfer either work or not work. The purpose of these cables would often hook up the Commodore disk drives to the PC via COM port or Printer parallel port. This with software that drives the use of these ports a little different than conventional have been known to be a big IF and with advent of Windows XP and later NT based operating systems made this path very unlikely to work reliable in any way or form not to mention the problem of using an asynchronous serial port of a PC to communicate the Commodore serial bus protocol used by the disk drives that are sensitive to clock timing of the I/O. Variants also used the PC as a sort of hard drive connected this way.

Option 2: A more common method: Terminal Emulation and a minimal BBS software on the PC and connecting via a null modem connection. This was more reliable to work but file transfer speed are usually slow because BBS software tends to have a limited range of baud rate connection as well as the limitations of both computer's UART or equivalent. Although, I did have what was at the time one of the leading end UART cartridge that allowed higher baud rate connectivity than is normally able to be achieved with the C64/128 computer's CIA (MOS 6526) chips. Even then, the file transferring isn't necessarily going to max the baud rate connection because 1541 disk drives aren't known to be very fast in file retrieval and transferring the data. 

This isn't something I was interested in uploading to the web. In addition, would you place your computer programs on the web to the happy whims of a known software pirate? Think about that for a moment.

Don't forget, some of those folks were major software pirates that pirated video game software of Electronic Arts, Mastertronic, Epyx, Sierra, and many many other software company.

Some of those pirates were members of the software pirate group Eaglesoft Incorporated  as well as some other groups which the FBI had and may still have a warrant for their arrest. 

Give you a hint of some of the individuals in the Commodore community that still persists with continued involvement in Commodore community.

rob_c,

That is not what I said. I had my Commodore equipment since the 1980s. Aluminate brought up that Commodore stuff in reference to a old post. Back in 2003, I wasn't interested in putting the files of computer programs I had written for the Commodore 64/128 back in 1980s and 1990s that were 10+ years old then. Why? Why would I want to go through 6 to 8 or so hours it may take to transfer all those files of just one onto the PC and then upload the files. 

If my disks have various forms of copy-protection schemes with parameters, it can be a real pain in the butt to transfer the files. I have to do additional time consuming steps which will likely require additional disks which I am kind of in short supply of. 

They have to be SS/SD or DS/SD or SD/DD or DS/DD soft-sectored 5.25" floppy disks. Hard Sector disks that are common in MS-DOS floppy disks just doesn't work well if at all added to the fact there is different recording methods. GCR on Commodore disks and MFM on IBM PC / MS-DOS disks.

Another 10 years later.... why in the damn world would I do that?

rob_c,

It's not a matter of lazy. It comes down to 'Why' and 'What desire or gain would I get in doing so?"

Okay, JBeaumont. Aluminate and you have a point there.
