Noam Chomsky insists that email was invented in 1978 by 14-year-old
Email, upper case, lower case, any case, is the electronic version of the interoffice, inter-organizational mail system, the email we all experience today — and email was invented in 1978 by a 14-year-old working in Newark, NJ. The facts are indisputable.

Security warnings for suspected state-sponsored attacks
Google: We are constantly on the lookout for malicious activity on our systems, in particular attempts by third parties to log into users' accounts unauthorized. When we have specific intelligence—either directly from users or from our own monitoring efforts—we show clear warning signs and put in place extra roadblocks to thwart these bad actors.
Today, we're taking that a step further for a subset of our users, who we believe may be the target of state-sponsored attacks. You can see what this new warning looks like here:

The Emergency Film Group wants you to be ready for the possibility for IEDs in your neighborhood. In order to get up to speed on this supposed threat, the company is offering a DVD on the subject to "help organizations meet Department of Homeland Security grant requirements, which emphasize programs that encourage public and private IED awareness." The video is a steal at a mere $450 in either DVD or VHS format.
Sarcasm aside, this is merely another example of rank and shameless profiteering in the manufactured GWOT, now said to be right around the corner and coming to your neighborhood soon. On its product web page, EFG takes it for granted shadowy and ill-defined terrorists will strike the heartland:
Recent history has shown that IEDs (improvised explosive devices) and VBIEDs (vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices) are often the terrorists' weapon of choice. It is likely that these attacks would be carried out in non- battlefield environments. The first responder community will be a community's first line of defense if these deadly weapons are involved in an incident. This new program, IEDs & VBIEDs, will raise the awareness of emergency personnel regarding these weapons.
Designed for police officers, firefighters, hazmat teams, bomb squads, EMTs, emergency management, military personnel, security guards and others who may encounter or respond to incidents involving IEDs.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Lest you think this is a joke, consider Michael Chertoff, Ministry of Homeland Security head honcho. "Our Department is 100 percent committed to protecting the people of the United States from IEDs," said Chertoff almost exactly a year ago. "Within the Department, we established an Office for Bombing Prevention specifically to work with other federal, state, and local agencies, as well as members of the private sector, to implement a national strategy to address IED threats."
As well, Bush signed yet another of his infamous presidential directives in order to address the phantom threat of terrorist IEDs, this time Homeland Security Presidential Directive-19 (HSPD-19). "This strategy will deter, prevent and detect terrorist use of explosives before the threats become imminent. It also tasks the Department of Justice to develop a national strategy for IED incidents and produce an IED annex to the National Response Framework," writes Julie Curry, a Texas A&M University researcher.
All of this is nothing if not a scam designed to federalize government agencies right down to the state, county, and local level and get your firefighter and cop on the federal teat through grants, propaganda, training programs and other such "assistance." It's also a way to continue the fear, as IEDs are pretty darn scary.
Of course, there is virtually no chance of genuine "terrorists" planting IEDs on roadsides and under viaducts in your town, that is unless said terrorists are working for the CIA. Keep in mind that IEDs were invented by the Iraqi resistance and used against an occupying foreign military. As brutal as IEDs are, they are weapons of resistance, not terrorist weapons used against civilians.

The Scary Truth: Why Getting Married May Be the Worst Thing You Ever Do
When we make the big decision to get married, the last thing we want to hear is that it may not work out. But while everyone knows that marriage is a bit of a gamble, many people don't think about the downsides — and there are many legitimate downsides.
The advantages of being single no one talks about
You'll find all kinds of information on the benefits of marriage, but being single also has real advantages. Those who value their independence, hate drama, and value their friendships over everything else might prefer not to mate for life. In our society, which has been conditioned to believe that we should constantly be seeking The One, someone who stays single on purpose might feel like they're going against the grain. But there's nothing wrong with staying single by choice.
Marriage has its benefits, but it's not for everyone. Here's why it might be the worst thing you ever do.
You'll be pressured to have children (or stop having them)
When you get married, many people assume they can ask some pretty personal questions, especially about child-rearing. You'll be pressured to have kids, if not by overbearing in laws than by "well meaning" friends or other loved ones. And it doesn't stop there — they'll be sure to let you know if you should have more, or if you've had too many children. Having children is a very personal decision, nut sadly, some don't see it that way.
You might lose yourself
It's entirely too easy for people, especially women, to lose themselves once they get married. Sometimes you get so consumed by your relationship and your partner's desires that you lose sight of your own. There are even numerous self-help books on the subject. This is dangerous — you could end up isolating yourself, become depressed, or find yourself divorced and having no idea who you are.
It could be a financial disaster
When you marry someone, you also marry their credit score. If your spouse has a lot of debt or some serious student loans, that could put a damper on any major purchasing plans to have. Also, it's extremely difficult to align your spending and saving habits with another person's.
Routine, auto-pilot sex … for life
Married sex can be extremely passionate and intimate, but only if both partners make a continuous effort to keep it that way. Because you become so comfortable, it's easy to get into a rut and get lazy with sex. In a time with having sex with only one person for life isn't all that appealing, the idea of infrequent, dull sex can be a real turnoff.
You'll have to do things you don't want to do
Marriage is all about compromise, which can be a good thing … unless you're set in your ways and don't enjoy it. Even if you marry "the right person," you'll still have to indulge in their hobbies, entertain your in laws, visit places you don't care about, and watch dozens of movies that don't entertain you. For some, this isn't a big deal, but to others, it could lead to some serious resentment.
You could get your heart broken
Putting your full trust in another person is not without its risks. Since half of marriages end in divorce, you're already aware that walking down the aisle is risky business. But even if you never split, your partner can hurt or disappoint you in many ways. This is the case with all relationships, but when it's your spouse hurting you, it really stings. Only you can decide if getting married is worth that risk.
