Yahoo! Setting the Record Straight
Yahoo! has not joined any program in which we volunteer to share user data with the U.S. government.
We do not voluntarily disclose user information. The only disclosures that occur are in response to specific demands. And, when the government does request user data from Yahoo!, we protect our users. We demand that such requests be made through lawful means and for lawful purposes. We fight any requests that we deem unclear, improper, overbroad, or unlawful. We carefully scrutinize each request, respond only when required to do so, and provide the least amount of data possible consistent with the law. By Ron Bell, General Counsel, Yahoo!

Final level: the Nuremburg Defense;
The 4-D strategy: Distance, Detach, Diminish, Deny;

This has been an NSA-approved message. No Democrats were harmed in the production of this pantload.

Yeah, um, given Yahoo's previous attempts to control and use the information it gathers and hosts, I'm skeptical of this statement. Maybe its true (the NSA would get it anyway), but I just don't trust Yahoo.
There used to be this terrific device called "WebRing" where similar sites would link together and you could just move site to site with it, browsing between them. Yahoo bought WebRing and announced that they OWNED anything on any site connected by WebRing.
Instantly everyone stopped using it.

Finding a qualified professional contractor for a home improvement project doesn't have
to be a difficult task. Surprisingly, you can actually save money
from hiring contractors as you are ensured that the roof
is professionally taken care of. Discuss these scenarios with your agent and
make sure you understand clearly who is covered and what is covered.

The agreement should specify whether the contractor is paid on an hourly or time and materials
basis, or is paid a project fee based on deliverables.
