E! Television to air 'Curse of the Lottery' SundayReply
From the original post we have, Susan Bradley on the best way to claim a winning lottery ticket One of the first things a lottery winner should do in a perfect world is not claim the ticket in their name. You can form a blind trust, and you can have the lottery winnings put into the trust. I just checked the FAQ page for the Virginia Lottery about anonymous claimants and found this: Can I remain anonymous when I claim my lottery winnings? No. Winners often ask if they c

I hesitate to reply one more time, because it will seem as if I need to have the last word! I only posted those very long answers to respond to remarks calling people who defend positions radical which is a term people always use when they disagree on an issue. If someone feels strongly about this or that, he/she is called a radical which has been used in the political arena for decades. I was only demonstrating that for a long time people have felt the same, well before any of these non-pr

The Tree of Knowledge--Cracking The CodeReply
Gasmeterguy Interesting post. The only weak place in the reasoning I can find in it are a few pre-suppositions. First being that someone would believe the code had been broken. That seems unlikely in the extreme. There's too much momentum, too much investment in there not being a code to be broken. The investment's in every avenue of human endeavor. Finance, security, mass-culture, 'common sense', all the physical anchors humans use to reassure themselves the ground's solid bene

Thanks Mike. That anecdote about old Inga Henegan (died a few years ago, so it's okay to use her name, I 'speck) is something I hadn't thought of in a couple of decades. In those days somebody admitting they'd been a Hitler Youth was something to rattle the brain. I used to absolutely despise Inga, though we were somewhat civil to one another and had a lot of heated, sometimes loud arguments about Germany and Hitler and Gestapo and freedom and liberty and something we in America used to c

Mike: I got two different things. One was Norton Internet Security, the other was Norton System Works. They had them on download, but downloading is a source of major blood-pressure issues here, so I ordered the CD. It runs through all kinds of things in the middle of the night and tells you it found 14,675 errors that need fixing and do you want it to fix them. I've never tried saying, Nawww. I like it better having all that stuff wrong with it, but I assume it's possible someone el
