hheheh it might lose some people and I encourage those people to get their nerd on and check out LOTR.
I am so nerdy that I literally challenge people I meet to outquote me on "Star Wars" (at least Ep. 4), yet I finally started just getting my LOTR on about 6 months ago at the bequest and with the encouragement of my nerdy girlfriend... Finally at last just 2 days ago I completed the whole trilogy through the Coronation.
Thanks charlieg for at least putting some context into my potentially insane sounding references to Anor, Udun and the Rohirim for any LOTR-deprived CP nerdians 
Have a great weekend

BTW if any of your confusion was caused by the allusions to beacons, Anor, Udun or the Rohirim, I would like to recommend to you a trilogy of novels by an author named J.R.R. Tolkien, titled "The Lord of the Rings"... He also wrote a couple of companion books, one of which is titled "The Hobbit". There is actually a trilogy of pretty-well done movies based on the books directed by Peter Jackson, worth checking out; here's a sample of one of my favorite scenes[^]
I previously had not been too interested in pure fiction, particularly dealing with orcs and trolls and dwarves and wizards and elves, but I have to say if you have an imagination that desires to be stirred then I would encourage you to liberate it...
Enjoy and Cheers!

Great, I have been a great fan of this fiction (I am not sure for you whether it is a fiction or not, but for me it is a real-world story... A mind with common sense of derivation would know). I have also seen the movies (Trilogy) and it did influence my life for a while.
The Hobbit, I have not been a fan, but my friends do tell me that it was an amazing movie; I have not read the book for it. I do not have a desire for imagination; it is a luxury, but I do give some time to them.

The works of Tolkien have indeed blurred the lines of fiction/non-fiction for me so I so understand what you mean friend - brilliant post... Thanks so much

He's not talking about health insurance. It's more like professional liability insurance, which covers your financial liabilities if you are not able to fulfill your end of a contract. That type of insurance is often called a "bond", and if you have it you can tell potential customers that you are "bonded", which indicates to them that their risk will be lower if they hire you as opposed to your unbonded competitors.
In some legal jurisdictions you are required to be bonded in order to practice certain professions. For example, in California, in order to offer your services under contract to build/remodel/repair houses and other structures you must be bonded (and have a license to do the type of work you're offering). Of course, unlicensed and unbonded people do offer their services in that field, and if you ask around with their customers you will hear a lot of stories of embezzlement and fraud. Even when they aren't outright criminals, it's not unusual for those contractors to do inferior work, since most of the licensing process is about making sure you know how to build stuff properly (California has a lot of earthquakes, so that can literally be a matter of life and death).

What was your final outcome regarding insurance? Do you need it?
The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.

Thanks so much for following up; the CFO is giving me a bit of a run-around that I'm going to expound more on in a post tomorrow for some more good advice... Stay posted friend and thanks again

Well that's nice and all but shouldn't it be CPors (or possibly CPions as I'm never entirely sure anyone here's entirely real!)

heheh I'm pretty sure it's officially CPians LOL  Cheers

What a dumb ass, just came from St. Louis and probably never saw a gator.

We don't have alligators in Michigan either, but I know better.
Though, I did feed a couple of gators that were fenced in a Florida retention pond marshmallows back in '75. That was cool. Still don't ever want to be caught in the water with one.

I suspect that many ISP's and upstream carrier companies are monitoring HTTP Posts request on port eighty for any password and email addresses contained within form posts that come from web-browsers when anyone press the login button.
Nearly all of Europe's traffic is sent via optical cables to England where CGHQ has the means to inspect the traffic before it is sent over to the USA and anyone in France or Germany will know by now that GCHQ has been doing a lot of things it shouldn't be doing.
It is a well known fact that many of the free proxy servers that people harvest only provide the free service just in the hopes that users are stupid enough to login to none secure sites so that these unscrupulous operators can steel login details and they also hope the same login details are being used on Gmail or Facebook because it is human nature for people to use the same details.
ISP's I suspect also have access to common private keys for all major sites and I know they are doing a type of man-in-the-middle HTTPS spying because they hijack DNS lookups even when users elect to use a 3rd party DNS server such as OpenDNS so that means that both HTTP and HTTPS for a domain name resolves to the same ISP's hijacked IP-Address and my ISP hosts many SSL sites that it does not own.
Let's be honest here ISP's such as Comcast are adding a tracking ID to HTTP Headers and if anyone is prepared to pay Comcast for the service then they will resolve the hidden ID to provide your personal details to anyone that's paying and for all I know since our governments have no respect for the laws or our privacy they might also have a mandate to provide the NSA/CIA/GCHQ with our personal login details.
So what can be done !
Well I have knocked up a bit of code that pulls HTTP Forms from web-pages and then parses the HTML to build up a fake post-data string using the correct INPUT box names from the FORM so that a fake login request can be made to the sites using one of two million random full names and a fake password.
The function that I use for making fake login requests to a list of ten thousand sites only send one fake request about every thirty minutes so hopefully ISP's or the NSA will take the bait and since it will take months to complete the list I don't think anyone could accuse me of using brute force to attack a site
So do you think I am being paranoid or breaking any laws if I decide to run the code ?

Yes they do, and, if evidence if provided, are we willing to believe?

Good point and the best i can give you is that David Cameron want to stop people using encryption only that GCHQ cannot decrypt and not regular HTTPS so that says to me our SSL traffic is an open book.
You might like to read back about ISP's hijacking DNS lookups in regards to SSL traffic.
Both the Germans and the French have caught the NSA/GCHQ spying on them so are you trying to say the likes of Google would not share it's private keys with the NSA when they are only too willing to share our private data with them.
Logic is very hard to argue with i thinks
