How Not To Plea Bargain Your Way Out Of
An eBay Scam

How Not To Plea Bargain Your Way Out Of
An eBay Scam 04/05/2005 11:36 PM
Assuming that you stole nearly half a million dollars from people using the typical eBay scam methods (i.e., selling products you didn't own and buying products but never paying for them), and then mocked and insulted the victims of the scam when they accused you of scamming them, the fact that you were even offered a plea bargain as a way out seems way too nice. In fact, you would think that when more people came out to accuse you of scamming them after the plea bargain was set would make you shut up and take the punishment before things got worse. Apparently, one such scammer didn't think that way. Not only did he fight the idea that he should have to pay back the money he stole, he then screwed up the plea bargain by throwing a pitcher of water across the courtroom at the prosecutor on the day he was supposed to be sentenced. No wonder the judge said: "In my view, you are likely to perpetrate when you come out of incarceration." The only thing surprising is that the judge didn't put him behind bars for even longer.

Moving and the Post Office

Moving and the Post Office 12/05/2003 11:15 PM
We are a more mobile society today than ever before, with people moving more often and for reasons that would have given pause years ago. Yet we are also a more connected society, in every sense, communicating with more entities than ever before. Including through the postal service. Yet one problem that this brings about, particularly with regard to mail delivery, has only been getting worse and with no apparent means of correction in sight. This article has a decidely American slant, but only due to lack of familiarity with the postal services of other countries.

Can The Post Office Survive In The
Digital Age?

Can The Post Office Survive In The
Digital Age? 09/01/2004 08:58 PM
Not sure why there are so many stories today about the potential to go "paperless," but the latest is a story wondering just what's going to happen to the US Postal Service in this electronic age. While some are worried that the USPS can't survive, others think there are plenty of opportunities for them. For example, someone in the greeting card business notes that while electronic greeting cards were expected to harm the paper greeting card business, it's actually helped expand it -- because people stay in touch with more people thanks to email, and still feel obligated to send paper cards for certain occasions. Of course, with so much of our snail mail system focused on bills and checks (to pay those bills) a widespread move towards electronic billing and paying could seriously undermine the post office. Some expect the cost of sending letters to start to increase to make up for this -- though, assuming a reasonable level of price elasticity (maybe not a reasonable assumption), this only seems likely to decrease usage of the post office. Either way, the article notes some European countries are already privatizing postal operations -- though, it doesn't sound like anyone is suggesting that here. In the meantime, most attempts by the USPS to update themselves for a digital age haven 't worked out too well.

Microsoft, eBay hook up software and auction data: Not a bad idea, I suppose.

Developers can tap into eBay's data and offer them directly to Microsoft's programs, such as Excel and FrontPage, without having to go through a Web browser.

Under the joint effort between Microsoft and Ebay, both companies will provide software that will allow developers to use Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet program, one of the components of Office, to upload information on items for sale, track ongoing auctions and collect historical data.

Wouldn't Access be a better choice than Excel? Then again, I suppose the user base isn't nearly as large.

Sex doll sparks bomb alert at post

Xeni Jardin: A life-sized sex doll caused a bomb alert in a German post office when it began vibrating inside a package:

"Workers were unsettled when it began vibrating and made strange noises," a spokesman for police in the eastern city of Chemnitz said. "They were worried the package might be a bomb." Officers brought the sender to the scene and discovered the source of alarm was an electrical device inside a life-size female sex doll. The man told police he had wanted to return the doll because it kept turning itself on at the wrong moment.
