Tri-level logosmography for data and financial auditing.

Logismography as a concept has been derived from a storied historical past. In one of my graduate-level management accounting classes, the lore was of a system more advanced and informative than double-entry bookkeeping. This mythical entity was a system that used a method of triple entry accounting, called Logismography . At one point several years ago, I even checked Wikipedia; there was no entry for this idea. There is still no entry for this idea. No results for articles containing the term, either. Okay, well what about the most authoritative authority on the attribution of authors? That's right... I'm talking about our good friend, Google. Top-level skim yields nothing significant. What about peeking into the mountain of student-funded research[3] available to students and professors whist they are ensconced in the Ivory towers?

Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) smells like Enron

The corporation for which these lipsticked pigs work does not produce anything tangible; it does not have any saleable inventory. This corporation didn't invent ...

CLOUD Act: "Corruption Leaks On USA Datacenters"

Update 2021: DELETE ALL MILITARY SPENDING.  THIS IS NOT SANE AND SAME THING DIFFERENT RCT.   DISALLOW FOREVER.   CLOUD Act:  "Corruption Leaks On USA Datacenters"  This will come back to bite you in the ass, Republiscams Whenever a group or entity attempts to fly under the radar to enact rules and restrictions that bind others while extracting themselves from legal repercussions, my intuitive hackles go off.  Big time. What on Earth is this odd piece of legislation doing, and why was it sneaked into the spendy-spendy spending bill with absolutely no citizen input? That is exactly what happened, though, when Congress hurredly passed legislation that included "DIVISION V -- CLOUD ACT". It never received a hearing. It was robbed of a stand-alone floor vote because Congressional leadership decided, behind closed doors, to attach this un-vetted, unrelated data bill to the $1.3 trillion government spending bill. The bill originated with on...
