Naked Security : Hand over your Facebook username and password if you want a job

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:24:16 +0000

You can certainly use the T&C statement that Facebook requires you to adhere to as a reason not to release the information. It is breach of contract.

The Heritage Foundry : Chart of the Week: Nearly Half of All Americans Don't Pay Income Taxes

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:44:52 +0000

Does this chart include Americans who are unemployed and/or low income??? I am current unemployed and my wife has a seasonal job. We pay our taxes every single year. To me, your headline is deceptive.

Connecticut News, Weather and Traffic | WTNH.com : Banned from Shelton prom: "I did it to make her feel special" | WTNH.com Connecticut

Wed, 11 May 2011 21:24:29 +0000

As I have said in other forums - this is classic "killing the ant with a sledgehammer" behavior. The headmaster and Shelton BOE have their heads so far up their a**es they don't know which way is up. Enough is enough. Allow Mr. Tate to attend his prom!

Naked Security : Anger after scam-exposing community shut down by Facebook

Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:05:26 +0000

It was a great article! I received something on my Facebook this morning (Thursday, 04-21-2011) that said the original Bulldog page had been restored. That's great news. it does show that social media can make a difference.

Connecticut News, Weather and Traffic | WTNH.com : Pocket Wireless shuts down | wtnh.com connecticut

Pocket Wireless itself is only closing in Connecticut. I wonder if someone decides to go with another company if they can bring that phone with them.

Connecticut News, Weather and Traffic | WTNH.com : School bans breast awareness bracelets | WTNH.com Connecticut

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 03:38:14 +0000

Administrators should be ashamed of themselves for trying to state these bracelets violate school dress code. With few exceptions, dress codes are almost impossible to enforce in schools. If a teacher sees someone dressed inappropriately in their mind, they can be punished for "looking". Give me a break!

Connecticut News, Weather and Traffic | WTNH.com : Plan for Islamic prayer questioned | WTNH.com Connecticut

Wed, 8 Sep 2010 21:04:07 +0000

To me, it is a damn shame that many of us seem to be suffering from "Islam-o-phobia". Yes, what happened on 9-11 is still raw for most, if not, all of us (I lost many friends and classmates on that day). We must get out of this mode of condemning ALL MUSLIMS AND ALL OF ISLAM for the acts of a few selfish terrorists. As for prayers before the meetings, that would be something to take up with leaders of the communities.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : WSP: Dash cam footage could\'ve led us straight to taunting biker | Tukwila News

Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:15:53 +0000

The dash cams provide a tool for police to bring in additional evidence for traffic stops and other crimes. For legitimate bikers to complains about a couple of bad apples MISSES THE POINT. The bikers would not be targeted by the dash cams. Dash cams are a needed tool.

Mike - what local taxes? Last I knew, a city/town can charge licensing fees, but I didn't know legislation had been passed to allow towns/cities to charge additional taxes...

Connecticut News, Weather and Traffic | WTNH.com : Tremors felt in Connecticut

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 02:27:50 +0000

Here are the details of the quake: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenew... It was only 12 miles deep and a 5.5 on the Richter. Not surprising that it was felt in many parts of CT.

Connecticut News, Weather and Traffic | WTNH.com : Manchester Distracted driving law now more strict | WTNH.com Connecticut

Fri, 4 Jun 2010 02:12:28 +0000

Enforcing the law is going to be the big thing with this. it just can't be done "en masse" like the "Click It or Ticket" stuff. My feeling - enforcement will be next to zero despite the Governor's action today.

Brian - I wish there were more people with your insight on line. I agree with everything you have said.

Connecticut News, Weather and Traffic | WTNH.com : North Branford 2-Year old assaulted at daycare | WTNH.com Connecticut

Let's see - the day care provider touched a child and injured her. Maybe she IS innocent until proven guilty, but it seems the evidence is overwhelming.

Connecticut News, Weather and Traffic | WTNH.com : East Haven police stop wrong way driver | WTNH.com Connecticut

Fri, 2 Apr 2010 02:42:11 +0000

It astounds me too, retpo. I am glad the driver was not hurt, but as in some other states, I think drivers that have issues like this need to be retested by the DMV to be sure they should be behind the wheel.

Connecticut News, Weather and Traffic | WTNH.com : Competency hearing for Hayes | WTNH.com Connecticut

Fri, 2 Apr 2010 02:38:32 +0000

Like others, I do not understand why Mr. Hayes's lawyers want to prevent him from changing his plea. Lets Hayes change his plea and let justice be meted out.

KRQE News 13 : Teen takes police on wild chase | Santa Fe, N.M. | KRQE News 13

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 03:25:40 +0000

Two of the charges she faces are felonies - she won't be walking out of juvenile hall anytime soon. And my best guess is her mother will leave her there. As for the other two in the SUV - hopefully this was a lesson learned for them too.

WWLP 22News : Teens charged in Phoebe Prince\'s death | WWLP.com

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 21:51:03 +0000

My sympathies and heart go out to Phoebe's family and friends. I guess the question I have is - where was trhe school administration in all this. I think a top-down investigation into the school's action (or lack of action) is in order as well. It is obvious that their anti-bullying policies were completely ineffective. As for the people charged - put them in a cell, lock the door, and throw away the key.

Connecticut News, Weather and Traffic | WTNH.com : Body found in yard of Madison home | wtnh.com connecticut

Thu, 4 Mar 2010 02:31:44 +0000

As a former resident of Madison, I have been unnerved about the controversies surrounding my former hometown. This is the first murder I remember (and I lived there for almost 30 years) and have many friends and other contacts that live in or near Madison. It is still a nice community. Let's hope this tumult passes very soon.
