I am seeking advice for my friend, a published writer and writing teacher who is plagued by computer problems at the moment. He lives in Greenwich Village in NYC.

His desktop died. Gateway said they would not be able to recover anything since the hard drive died. Also his laptop appears to not have enough memory to run without getting hung up.

I live more than a 1,000 miles away and am no computer expert, but after reading DKos diaries on the White House’s purported loss of e-mails, I heard you computer techies say nothing is lost on a computer.

Considering this administration's record in protecting our freedom, I get a little nervous when I read about another frontier about to be secured by our Department of Defense.

Now, the U.S. Air Force is setting up a cyberspace command. Reuters has the story, which was carried by The New York Times and The Washington Post:

Well, the request is out for an open thread, so it seemed like the easiest way to encourage discussion is to post a diary.

Yes, you are worth "listening" to.

The Conyers report, the Lieberman follies, Abramoff ties (and don't forget Hastert and Sibel Edmonds' comments in interviews) and general Friday unwinding.

By the way, I downloaded the Conyers report in Microsoft Word and it did not take long, even with a dial-up connection, so go to it.

Here you go.

Sen. Byrd has 45 minutes to speak. He is addressing the manner in which the Alito hearings have been carried out in the Senate.

"Was it really necessary to subject Mrs. Alito to the harsh glare of the kleig lights, fighting to retain her dignity ...

Obviously something is wrong with our judicial-making process. .... UPDATE: Sen. Byrd states he will vote "yes" on Alito nomination.

Here's a call to the media, more specifically newspapers, where I am more at home: forget the balancing act, forget the he said/she said approach, which takes up an entire story about OPO, Other People's Opinions.

Tell me, dear saints in heaven, WHAT HAPPENED - HOW AND WHY. And, it follows, WHAT IT MEANS TO ME.

Now, you can't do all that if you are toddling between the Democrats and the Republicans, or the liberal and the conservative think tanks. YOU are the one being paid to THINK.
