See what you started, Mulher? Just by sending me an IM about some crazy law site?10:29:30 PM # Google It!
Optimal Routing
I want a phone that chooses the best route for my call. I want a phone that knows my network is there. I want my phone to be careless, indiscriminate, promiscuous, a tramp.5:05:53 PM # Google It!

[W]e have an entire branch of government that is devoted to establishing links between identity and a physical body: the courts. Trials are largely about proving that a particular physical body has a particular identity (that of the person who committed the crime).

Of Mice and Men
I learned last night at "Your Child's Baptism, or How To Not Make a Fool of Your Presbyterian Self in a Roman Catholic Church," that the Age of Reason is seven (7). This is the age at which a child is considered morally responsible, and before which there can be no sin, for the child is unable to make a moral judgement.
What if a child never reaches the Age of Reason, because of an impairment?

Tricky
Really? I'm just shocked, shocked, that a reputable firm would behave in such a manner.Unfortunately, this is the sort of behavior that makes me think that, if UNEs were priced at market rates, instead of being fixed by the Commission, the ILECs would not sell them.

Expiration Date
Google thinks the site I mentioned yesterday is the definitive Stanley Kubrick site.Over the last month, in preparation for these changes, we expired the sites of Prodigy Classic members who are no longer Prodigy Internet members. Instead of removing the sites n number of days after the member's account was terminated, no maintainance had been performed — for quite some time. Now we have a mass of files not found, that should more appropriately be just plain gone.
The requested resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known. This condition is expected to be considered permanent. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD delete references to the Request-URI after user approval. If the server does not know, or has no facility to determine, whether or not the condition is permanent, the status code 404 (Not Found) SHOULD be used instead. This response is cacheable unless indicated otherwise.
The 410 response is primarily intended to assist the task of web maintenance by notifying the recipient that the resource is intentionally unavailable and that the server owners desire that remote links to that resource be removed. [...]
Emphasis above is mine. If I figure out how to distinguish between the sites we removed and files that are just missing, then I will.

Randomizing Google?
I noticed something extremely odd last night. See if you see what I saw. Notice a pattern? It's not readily apparent on the first page of links. (If you have more explicit links to your pages, you may not see the same pattern.)8:29:22 AM # Google It!
