The ramifications of PLUG (aka Hans "Luft") "dropping" a 7 year successful event like the HackFest is HUGE. I have been long contacted by members active for many years who want support to backup recommendations to disband the PLUG (or remove "Presidential dictatorship")  with a long laundry list of reasons from sexual harassment (Example: Hans raising his wedding ring clad finger to women as they wait to speak with him about PLUG matters during public community events [which I have experienced twice myself])  to outright misuse of funding ( [tee shirts and donations from local businesses] and PLUG interns/students raising money for sister project ABLEConf) as well as inappropriate steering to classes at Mesa Community College during "OpenSource" community venues. I have stayed out of escalation of those issues to other authorities, but "Silence is DEATH" and a Linux Users Group where membership live in threat of social ostracism and promote via "inner circle relationships" (or make decisions like drop a healthy venue without written rules or warning) is nothing more than a "GANG" and is destined to die. 1) Please show me the rules under which removal of the HackFests from the calendar was made? If there was a scheduling issue, why was I not called or allowed to reschedule? Our security community and active interns have been historically very changeable and this could be easily arranged at DeVry University who also provide a rack at OneNeck.   2) Please show me the rules that state posting a discussion to more than one mailing list with the same content is disallowed?  It is not on any of the mailing list phxlinux.org pages?  3) And while we are talking about it, please show me the rules (in any PLUG) that state that we can't have TWO PLUG EVENTS on the same day? Is that because the website php CMS software won't allow it?

Fwd: Re: Ransom Virus
Someone should have told the IRS about backups. well, I wish your friend a lot of luck. The encryption is very difficult to break and would likely take longer than its worth. This is why I strongly recommend daily backups of important data. I have already seen this on my windows laptop. Fortunately, I had already made a backup of the entire system. So, It was easy for me to erase using a Linux rescue disk and then put the old OS back in place. THe only reason for me to have windows at all around here is for some of the windows specific applications that are able to be used with JAWS (screen reader for the blind). All the rest of the time I spend on either the Linux partition on this mac, or OS X (where I do all my mail). So, there you have the lesson.

Re: Off Topic Discussions
I stayed out because so many are politically clueless- just too busy earning a living to pay attention or so dismayed @ what is going on they have given up. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4GLTE smartphone - Reply message - From: "Ted Gould" To: Subject: Off Topic Discussions Date: Wed, Jun 12, 2013 7:58 am I would say that it is a list of Linux and related topics. Things like programming in PHP, that'd be OT, but still fine on the list. Even stuff that is political in nature, but related, like security and privacy, is relevant but OT. Where I think it goes from OT to Off-List is when blame is being placed on a particular organization/person or a specific remedy is recommended. For instance: "We can't have e-mail privacy because Nixon is a weenie" or "If Carter could speak Cuban better we could have more H1B visas." Examples of specific actions would be: "You should join my political party so we can fight for..." To be clear, this means that in previous situations 80% of the mail was fine and relevant. But people stayed out of the conversation because they didn't want to be associated with that other 20%. Let's cut that 20% up front and have conversations that everyone can participate in, which is probably more likely to educate on the issues too!

Installing PHP on a Linux box would be on-topic and programming in PHP could be allowed but off topic? I'm being 100% sincere. We all know I have posted lots of stuff that was political and about God. And I know we have gotten to this point before. We have even had people leave the list because they did not like other peoples political views or they did not want to hear about God. PLUG is part of the community I live in.

Re: Arizona Internet Speed Test
I reported it to Netflix, but my guess is Cox.and then this came (you most likely saw), which I DO believe: == Cox has had a full circuit between here and their peering to LA for probably 6+ months, so this accounts for why you're seeing the latency. Run an mtr to google and you'll see a good 60-90% packet loss at their peering hop to LA. Their useless support says it's not real, but it is. I've been yelling at someone internally there to fix it and upper mgt wouldn't, so I suggest you call them too. I heard internally they lit a fire to fix it just this week when Game of Thrones pirating and legit streamers killed it on sunday.

Sales Tax : When I had a sales tax license I had to collect sales tax at the point of sale, do the reporting, and disburse the money, as well as manage it until disbursed. SOLUTION : No sales tax. A flat income tax paid to the fed, state, county, and local gov by the taxpayer. In the case of this bill, the gov is putting the burden on business not the tax payer. Why is it my responsibility to ensure someone else pays their taxes. And just because I sell someone something, it does not make me a party to them not paying what the law says they owe. It is their responsibility. I understand some restrictions like making sure the auto lub companies do not dispose of used oil by pouring it in the alley.

We have to deal with the different State, City and other "Special" taxes depending on where our customer lives - it is all sorted/calculated by zip code.

I am merely pointing out that this is not an unsurmountable task - yes, it is a pain, but it is just a part of doing business. Remember, every time you buy something from out of state, YOU are supposed to remit that tax on your State form at tax time.but no one (ok, maybe one person??) does. How can we condone breaking the law on this? If we do not like it, then we should change the law; for us to encourage breaking the law puts us in a position (IMHO) as partners with Eric Holder.

Cost is all in our accounts receivable package, ie, not sure I could give you an accurate # for specific costs.we pay taxes by electronic transfer, and the amount is all calculated by that softwarereports tell us how much we collectedbut that package does all of our accounting, etc - tax is just a small part of what it does for us. Frankly, I am more concerned about what I wrote in the last line of my response than whether or not we should break the current laws on tax collection - even tho I detest all of the regulations -- that's why I 'retired' at age 50 lyle Thanks, Keith --- On Wed, 5/8/13, Lyle Tuttle wrote: From: Lyle Tuttle Subject: Re: OT: Internet Sales Tax Passes the U.S. Senate To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Wednesday, May 8, 2013, 9:01 AM At 05:16 AM 5/8/2013, JD Austin wrote: I'm calling a little BS on your over simplification Bryan; you certainly DID NOT have to deal with more than one one state's sales tax rules unless you had a physical presence there. 1.
