Seeing Red Skelton do this reminded me of a similar event with a similar celebrity. Jackie "Moms" Mabley was an African American comedienne in the 60s-80s in the "Redd Foxx" class of comedians . Known for her standup comedic genius, often without the benefit of her dentures. She was a mastermind at her routines.... all but one. Several talk show hosts of the era tried to get Moms to sing the Dion song, "Abraham, Martin & John" on air, which she wanted and always tried to do seriously. Problem is, every time she started it, she could not finish. She would end up losing it and just breaking down in tears. Finally, Merv Griffin got her to do it and finish it - Moms Mabley - Abraham, Martin and John.

I don't have Pandora, either.

Sirius makes a receiver version for one's car called the "Sportster." It was given to me as a gift, but I never used it because I don't listen to the radio in the car. And, I didn't want to pay for the subscription after the freebie expired.

The theory is that her campaign was financed by Bloomberg to gain the office so that she could then do what she's been doing (at his behest) via whatever powers she has. Apparently, she has a much different interpretation of the "full faith and credit" clause of the constitution. I hope that HB-2398 passes and is signed into law, so to thwart her efforts.

Of course, they won't. They don't want to plant the mindset that carrying for HD/SD is a "good" thing..... They want to spin it as if the veteran was committing some kind of crime....

Just curious - Howard Stern isn't on XM anymore? Or does he matter anymore?

RAID 0 (for performance), I assume, or can you do RAID 1 or RAID 10 (for a little more security)? Back when I first started on Wall St. in the late 90's, EMC had these huge "refrigerator sized" array boxes for SAN (I forget what they were called) that stored HDAs the size of the old mainframe multi-plattered "disk packs." They were incredibly expensive. I was just wondering what the SEC requirements would be for destruction of those things, although maybe market forces have driven them all out of existence, by now. This was back in the days of the SUN "Sparc10" workstation and/or the SUN "Sunfire V880/V1280" server(s). Seems like things have evolved for the better...

Then I guess I'm glad I got out when I did... I wonder what the requirements are for those large HDAs that make up EMC type SAN/SRDF arrays or large NFS/NAS arrays? Then again, I guess a lot of smaller firms are going to cloud storage to avoid those costs, but I'd think that SEC regs (if not common sense or company policy) would prohibit any sensitive data from being stored there (on "public" clouds anyway and certainly not without encryption)... But even with centralized storage (and the move away from local workstations having larger storage capacity), there are always end users that have "their own little Access etc. database" tucked away locally on that HD, and don't want to give it up. Those are the real dangerous folks. You'd also think there would be pressure on the HD manufacturers to make cheaper, "disposable" PC HDs, given the requirements to destroy them, but again there's that cost vs. reliability/benefit balance... Reliability, of course, being the priority...

Well, physical destruction (shredding) would certainly offer a 100% guarantee of success. But what a waste.... I guess I come from a time where physical destruction was on the other side of the "cost/benefit" calculation. It seems cheap enough these days, especially on some of the lower GB drives, as Lalo points out. And, you're right about physical failure inhibiting a software DOD wipe. In that case, I would physically destroy, if the data stored on it called for that.

And, like you said, most are IDEs. If it's company policy, then that's that. They paid for 'em.... they can do what they wish.

Decent symbolism.... And yes, it *did* happen on the 2nd, but I'm thinking the greater symbolism might have been in the anti's attempt to get at CC with the Sandy Hook families and their petition. They showed up at his office to deliver their petition to sign the bills, they did not get an audience, and then 1 hour later, CC's office published the veto message. Awfully interesting timing if you ask me...

Precisely..... Gibbs Rule #5 - "You don't waste good." I have software that will wipe the drive to DOD standards with several passes.

What happens when you reach 65?

Unfortunately, I think only an "admin" can do that.....

We should be so lucky in this state....

Are you talking today? Isn't NJ NICS closed for the Holiday? And I'd imagine for the weekend as well, no? Or are you talking PICS? I have no idea about them but I'd assume they're also closed today, right? Why not buy it and leave it on "Will call" where you are picking it up and then do so on Monday when NICS should be open?

My emails, sent.

If I could afford to have a place both here and in FL I would move there in a heartbeat. But I'd have to sell this place first up here. And, I'd have to be certain that I can re-establish my business down there also (a little more difficult as I can't bill out down there what I can up here... ).... We'll see. If there's a way I can do it, I will!

Voted also.

Everyone, have a safe and happy one. Let us all remember what our founding fathers sacrificed to get us here. We shall not let them down!

I believe it's 183 days. You just might make it. Especially if you spent time in FL prior to getting your FL license, and can document that time with things like grocery receipts, utility bills, etc. Of course, if you have other evidence of your permanent residency there (sign a lease or a mortgatge agreement), that's a good thing. And don't forget "registering to vote," updating your passport records (if you have one), etc. Any/all of that helps. Did you earn income when staying in NY? Were you paid by someone who paid you through a NY address and withheld NY Taxes? If so, you would probably have to file once more in NY, but most likely as a "part-time" resident, if you otherwise meet the 183 day criteria to be a full Florida resident. Likewise, if you lived in NJ at that time (and earned the income in NJ) you would have to file as a "part-time" resident there, as long as you resided in FL for more than 183 days. NJ will more than likely demand proof of residency (i.e. lease, utility bills, grocery bills/receipts, etc.). Save all of that. But yeah, confirm with your accountant. I'm interested in how it all works out for ya, because I hope to do the very same thing within another few years, if not sooner! But I also have to figure out how to move a business as well. I guess that means you're planning on returning to NJ on occasion to shoot. If not, (and I do not ever plan to do so), then why bother changing it? Why pay the extra $25.00 to the SBI (If you're already out of state, then you have to file change of address with the NJ State Police in Trenton). They will insist on another background check as well ($20.00) plus, the $5.00 to re-issue the replacement ID). And it takes them their usual turn around time (I'm guessing the standard "5-6 months"). I would just keep mine, if only as a trophy - a reminder of where I came from.....

Must be too many personnel (RO's) out for the holidays... I can't imagine they'd slow down for maintenance, or "lack of customers" on a holiday like this...

That, and protection from being "falsely accused" by someone with an axe to grind (i.e. bitter spouse, neighbor, boss you quit, etc. etc. etc.).
