I thought that Schrodinger could hear my electrons scream, but he couldn’t tell what language they were screaming in, or something like that.

Apple computers are for girly men who cry while they watch Steel Magnolias.

I cry at the thought of paying for anything by Apple . . . and when watching The Spitfire Grill.

You’ll never get your laptop back, but this will be fun.

You obviously have an overdeveloped schadenfreude gene. Or is it Overkilled>? BaDumpBump. Have you tried some veal?

It’s fun to watch lawyers dance.

You must know some attractive lawyers.

Good advice. I would also recommend that they work on masking their writing style. This is not easy to do. When you write about things you care about, it is hard to write in someone else’s style. Unless you have a lot of practice writing in the style of someone else.

The common thread? They were irresponsible.

Whether it be naming their company, writing libelous content, copyright infringement, etc. they were all guilty of that. They were wrong… and they knew it.

Blogger (Google really) will not just drop IP Addresses or e-mail Addresses to your company. Even with a subpoena, if you’re content is not any of the above, they will sight their privacy policy, allow your company to spend thousands of dollars just to have it thrown out. If you do post content that is the above, then they’ll hand that information over, and rightfully so.

People have been losing their jobs not just for blogging (such as Dooce) but also what they do on networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. I’d rather see guidance and education on how to post good content without infringing on the above issues.

Maybe if we educated our Responders, agencies wouldn’t be so paranoid about Social Media.

It is true that what I have written above is overkill in most circumstances, you never know when a national company is going to wig out and try to make an example of someone. It also depends on what you have found out. Never assume your opponent is too dumb to figure it out, they can hire someone who is not dumb if they see the risk of a large company going union or a full scale Medicare investigation.

The techniques above are utilized for hacker stuff that is a bit beyond the usual anonymous blog. And if you are young and single, maybe you don’t care. However, if you have a kids and a mortgage and you want to start a union and you are afraid of losing that house, or the 15 years you have put into your retirement…you will want to cover your tracks a bit.

So please don’t flippantly just say that most employers are stupid, go ahead and blog. That guy may find himself without a job and starting over again with his retirement. The stakes are higher for some people than you might think.

I do however think alot of this is overkill, because you now need to assume that an EMS Agency has the knowledge to be able to track you if you don’t do any of these things when the truth is the majority of them think their free website on Geocities is technologically advanced.

The most important thing to know about anonymous blogging isn’t on the technical side. It is on the content side, meaning that even though you are anonymous you need to own your own words.
