The Secret Lives Of Identity Thieves

The Secret Lives Of Identity Thieves 12/19/2003 09:56 PM
The NY Times is running a fascinating profile of a big identity theft operation that was busted a few years back. It mostly involved dumpster-diving activities, rather than getting info off the internet - but was quickly followed up with using the internet to sign up for a variety of credit cards. The operation was spearheaded by two people, both of whom went to jail for short periods of time. One has disappeared and is apparently back to doing identity theft, while the other claims to have turned her life around. The article, like all others on identity theft, does not paint an encouraging picture that this is likely to stop any time soon. While some blame the criminals, others blame companies that don't do enough to protect our private info. Of course, I'd go even further and say the credit companies have something to do with this, in pushing to give out "instant credit", making it difficult for people to realize their identity has been stolen, and being so resistant to any effort to clean these messes up.

Star Wars, A New Hope

Star Wars, A New Hope 04/01/2005 05:20 PM

I didn't realize how much the recent two Star Wars movies had sullied my once-fond memories of the first three films until I sat down to watch the original Star Wars. The acting is marginal at best and the story is a little clunky in places, but that's really beside the point, isn't it? The special effects have been digitally retouched and remastered on the DVD, but even without all that, I can see why SW was such a huge deal when it appeared in theatres in the late 70s. Space opera indeed. And the last scene with the X-Wing fighters and the Death Star -- don't worry, I won't give the ending away if you haven't seen it -- I've seen that scene about 30 times and it never fails to entertain; I know every line by heart almost and I was still on the edge of my seat.
