ApplianceAdvisor.com Website Registrar Hacked: rotten kids!
Submitted by advisor on Mon, 11/09/2009 - 11:47am.
ApplianceAdvisor.com's registrar was hacked sometime November 8 redirecting all of the registrar's many many websites to some Italian costume jewelry site. They corrected the problem 10AM EST'ish.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Blame it on Electrolux
AA Just blame it on Electrolux, after all if we listen to you they are the Devil
I'll take the opportunity
I never got the chance to defend Mr. Advisor before so when the opportunity arises I better take it. He doesn't think Electrolux is the Devil (after all, I don't believe he believes in the Devil). What he is simply saying is that it is high time we the people open our eyes and see what is happening to the jobs in this country. If we don't start making statements with our wallets we soon will be stuck with 10, 15 or 20 percent unemployment and the number will continue to grow. If people don't have jobs, they won't buy your stuff and you soon won't have a job so you won't buy the next guys stuff then he soon won't have a job and......... It won't stop till enough people take the initiative to make it stop. We already lost the clothing and electronics industry, lets not lose the appliance and auto jobs on top of it.
The Devil is in the Details
Thanks Steady, excellent summary of my position.
Isn't the Devil a sort of unitary evil force? (Please, don't jump in to correct me on what the Devil is).
On this subject we've all been pulling the orrs together as we head for the falls.
When the first VW Beetle was bought off a lot, because American manufacturers refused to serve the compact segment, because gas was cheap here, because we didn't treat fossil fuels as a limited resource.
When geopolitics, and the false idol of free trade, trumped domestic employment, and when we each swore to the motto "save money live better", and the borders were opened because our economy was so big we thought we could afford to help other economies at our expense.
How were microwaves lost anyway? Was it better trained competitors with better math and engineering skills because they gave greater support of education, or was it foreign government financing of plant expansion, or profit expectations that rewarded long term thinking, or lifetime employment guarantees that reduced the labor rate, or a protectionism strategy that protected the domestic market while ramping up, or a consumer that was willing to pay more for perceived quality, or a domestic channel of distribution that felt part of the national team, and duty bound to support domestic industry?
Electrolux is a convenient example, but don't imagine that GE, or Maytag, or Whirlpool, or Sears, or Walmart, or Home Depot, or you or I are somehow free of responsibility.
Each of us has played many different parts in the unfolding slow motion drama, from consumer, to employee, to seller, to stock holder, to voter.
As Pogo said, "We have met the enemy and he is us."
ARGGHHH!
But of course........I should have known.........Hans Stråberg this isn't finished my friend.
