Would You Wear Clear Shoes Like Dakota Fanning?
The actress wears some see-through pumps to a fashion show; would you?
Bill Davila/Startraks
Dakota Fanning has a sense of style that's generally spot-on. The young fashionista has relationships with a roster of fabulous designers, and looks put together every time she leaves the house — even if she is just going to class.
But sometimes even the chicest stars can make minor mistakes. Case in point: Fanning wore clear pumps to Marc Jacobs's spring 2012 presentation in New York in September, a move that's often considered a fashion faux pas. However, given her age — she's just 17 — and the light color of her dress, it's not necessarily an awful decision — maybe she can pull it off. Regardless, we want to know what you think of the look.

Poppy Seed Naan with a Meyer Lemon GlazeFrom SWISS WOODS BED & BREAKFAST INN
1.5 cups water
3/4 tbsp yeast
3/4 tbsp kosher salt
3 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3 tbsp poppy seeds
2 Tbsp Meyer lemon juice
6 Tbsp powdered sugar
1. In a standing mixer bowl using the dough hook attachment, measure flour, yeast, salt and poppy seeds
2. Turn the mixer on low and add the warm water slowly, till everything pulls together in a ball
3. There is no need to knead. (cool, huh!) Using a bowl scraper, transfer the somewhat wet dough to a container or bowl that you can cover and eventually put in the refrigerator
4. Cover with saran wrap and allow to rise in a warm, draft free spot, and then allow to somewhat collapse on itself
5. It is now ready to either be used or put into the refrigerator to use later
6. Cover the container and refrigerate. I have covered a bowl with saran but if you do that make sure it is on well or the top of the dough will dry out.
7. When ready to use, remove from the cold and form small golf ball size balls
8. Place on a floured surface and allow to rise. They do not have to double in size- about 30 min
9. With a rolling pin on a floured surface roll into very thin rounds about 5 inches in diameter
10. Allow to rest for 20-30 min on the floured surface
11. Heat 1 Tbsp of unsalted butter in a skillet or griddle surface. You will want the surface hot
12. Gently put the rounds into the pan. They will puff and bubble. After 1 min turn with tongs and fry on the other side 1 min. You want to watch them carefully as not to burn them.
13. Using the tongs, remove from the pan, cool slightly and glaze with the lemon glaze. Serve warm

Gandhi said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
We say, "How could you possibly do that without a full belly?"
Guru's makes food for everyone. More specifically, something healthy to suit anyone's palate—from the carnivore to the vegetarian. It's all made fresh in a clean kitchen using environmentally friendly products. We're also proud to say that sometimes what you eat at Guru's is a sampling of the local fare.

Enlightenment comes in many forms. We say, "to each their own" and at Guru's you can get one step closer to your illuminating jackpot by embarking on your journey with a belly full of healthy, affordably priced gourmet foods.
Besides the delicious nourishment that will come from dining with us, we offer these glances at the elements of living so that you might better understand and appreciate the enlightenment the universe offers you.
Earth is a perfect balance of masculine and feminine character with inward, centering motions and stabilizing energy. Earth represents patience, thoughtfulness, practicality, and hard work. Earth seeks to nurture and draw all things together.
Fire is masculine in character with upward motion and expansive energy. Fire governs the heart, tongue and pulse. The qualities associated with fire are strength, dynamism and persistence. Fire is associated with the color red and red is associated with extreme luck.
Water is feminine in character with downward motion and still, conserved energy. Water represents intelligence, wisdom, softness and flexibility. Water can be weak and fluid but can also wield great power when it floods. Water is associated with darkness and the moon.
As the life force that carries spiritual energy, air is part of every living thing that exists. We say, "keep it clean, keep it flowing."
Abundant and varied conceptions exist to explain heaven but it is generally construed that heaven is a place of eternal happiness. Kind of like Guru's but without the eternal part.
Having no physical qualities such as heat, cold, wet or dry, spirit is incapable of change (excepting location) and moves in a circular pattern. Spirit is divine air and purely essential to happiness and enlightenment.

text: I want answers God Dammit!!! I had the night off from the strip club I'm now performing at, so my chicken and I decided to relax, share a "Steel Reserve" 40 ounce and view our favorite movies of 2012 receive countless accolades and awards. To our astonishment, all the epic films of 2012 were forgotten like Bow Wow's rap career(and acting career). Silver Linings Playbook???? Mentally disable lovers??? Anyone recall The Other Sister? Talk about a knockoff. Don't get me started on Les Miserables. Shouldn' there be a separate award show, or category at least for musicals? For the love of God please!!!! Lincoln was so boring I switched over to porn 20 minutes in, though it did inspire me to go the interracial route. This gave me a new type of respect for the man John Wilkes Booth popped in trying to resurrect the confederate cause. What's truly ironic about that situation is that Lincoln, no doubt bored out his gourd watching another God-awful musical, was probably wishing he was shot at that very moment, with little doubt for that reason being that he would never have to witness another musical again. Enough talk about these duds. Let's get to Tehol Beddict's winners.Please, blog, may I have some more?

This article is from the archive of our partner .
Sen. Joe Manchin is a reasonable guy. He's not above speaking with local newspapers. Being a big man in Washington has not gone to his head, yet. But he does have one condition before any conversation, and it's kind of a big one: he won't talk if you wanna talk about guns.
West Virginia's Journal News ran an interview with the junior Senator on Sunday that covered the sequester, mostly, and it's effects on West Virginia and the surrounding region. If you didn't know any better, it would seem like an innocent enough conversation between a Senator and a local newspaper. But at the top of the page there's an editor's note with an interesting little nugget, that paints the rest of the interview in an odd light:
Editor's note: This question and answer session was permitted under the condition that The Journal would not ask questions regarding gun control legislation or the Second Amendment, as requested by the senator's staff.
Manchin, a Democrat, didn't want to talk about guns. OK? Wait, no, not okay! The strange stipulation had most people baffled. The Senator has been facing attacks from gun-rights groups painting him as being for gun reform, despite the fact that Manchin has so far been against most of the President's reform proposals.
Both Manchin and the newspaper are facing a lot of criticism from observers over his request. Manchin is being chastised for not speaking openly about gun control legislation, while the newspaper is facing criticism for not telling Manchin to take a hike:
If a Republican did this, you would condemn it @reidepstein: Joe Manchin gives interview on condition he not be asked about gun control.— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) March 3, 2013

So, everyone's a loser in this one.
The Senator's staff got a head start rebounding from the criticism. See, it was a miscommunication on the paper's part. "I didn't tell her she couldn't ask I told her he wouldn't answer them," a Manchin spokesperson tells Politico's Reid Epstein. The paper has yet to respond. There was no byline on the interview, so it's currently unknown who the editor that granted Manchin's request is.

Hundreds of fragments of Bronze Age bronze objects, but do any of them join together?
Large collections of complete and broken bronze objects have been discovered buried in the ground throughout Europe. Here in Kent we have several examples including the large hoard from Boughton Malherbe buried around 2,800 years ago. It contains approximately 352 items but many of these are fragments. Today I am trying to see if any of the fragments join together. I want to know why these different items have been gathered together and buried. Were any of them deliberately broken? Were the pieces buried together? Why?
Most days I am studying archaeological reports on excavated evidence for prehistoric bronze casting and working of gold and silver. So I relish this opportunity to actually handle the ancient artefacts (even if through gloves), rather than just reading about them. Digging and being the first to see, to touch, to smell an object or a surface, a structure, even the bottom of a pit, that's what inspires me. If I can't be out in the field then examining the objects off-site is a satisfying alternative. There are so many stages of discovery in archaeology and these continue for years after the dust has settled on the excavation site. The detailed examination of artefacts is just one of those exhilarating stages.
Research is just one of the many activities I have the fortune to be involved in as an archaeologist. Take this week for example: for me it began on-site, digging with the Young Archaeologist's Club (18th century archaeology – see Andrew Mayfield's DoA post). This was followed by a Festival of Archaeology event at Knole House (17th century related) showing and sharing the tactile and sensory handling kit I have prepared for all visitors especially those with a Visual Impairment. Next it was library based research in London looking up metalworking sites (c.2500BC to AD 50). Today has been working on the Boughton Malherbe hoard and I'll finish the week with a Festival of Archaeology event at Maidstone Museum presenting the latest results on the hoard, and showing some of the objects to the public.
And what did I discover today? Most of the fragments don't join together. But there are two definite refits: a socketed axe and a socketed gouge. Should I let my mind's eye imagine a Bronze Age procession of people carrying a fragment to represent themselves? The pieces of the community buried together? One thing is for certain, I keep finding more and more questions in need of answers.
Thanks to Maidstone Museum and Kent Archaeological Society, Allen Grove Fund, for making the Boughton Malherbe hoard research possible. Thanks also to the National Trust for the opportunity to make the sensory handling kit for Knole. Extra special thanks to all the staff at Maidstone and Knole for their encouragement and interest.

Grillmance, the family venture by the father and sons team of Mat, Dan and Andrew aims to launch their flagship, patent-pending AccuGrill System which will be funded through a campaign on Kickstarter. The innovative grill accessory will help cooks see the cooking process without losing the all-important indirect heat.
"We want to bring joy to your grilling experience and that has led us to create this amazing and innovative grilling system," says Dan Normand who has over 30 years of experience in of product development and has launched several novel new products to date. "The unique grill can be used for manipulating indirect heat to create a slow and low heating environment. You can see the food cooking and place pans on the grill without having to close the hood."
The fundraising campaign for AccuGrill System on Kickstarter has a target of $20,000 and the deadline is July 28, 2017. The incredible invention as Grillmance loves to call it comes with a string of unique features.
The 15-inch AccuGrill as well as all its accessories are made of high quality brushed stainless steel.

The system also incorporates a unique flame proof heat resistant AccuMint which is a high quality heat resistant grill mint with magnetic holders.
According to the developer team, the AccuGrill System also has the innovative AdduTemp – a duel probe, Bluetooth enabled temperature monitor integrated with AccuLite, a powerful LED light with a flexible neck. In other words, AccuGrill includes everything that cooks will ever need for a great grilling experience. In fact, it is the only grill accessory they will ever need for life.
AccuGrill System has been designed to enhance the quality of food cooked on the grill by incorporating innovative elements. The system not only makes cooking simple and efficient but is also easy to handle and use. With AccuGrill, cooks can actually see the food being cooked and also allows them to do tasks on the grill without having to close the hood. The innovative grill has been designed to create a low and slow cooking environment where the delicate flavors and tastes are retained to create dishes that are truly delicious and authentic.
Dan Normand points out that adding AccuGrill System to the existing grill handle does not affect the functionality of the grill. In fact, it only enhanced the results and helps users cook great grilled dishes every time.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Is the SAN dying?
The reason that I ask this question is that MSFT has unleashed technologies this year that point in that direction
I'm not saying that SAN technology does not have its place or does not have benefits inherent to the beast. I'm just pointing out that MSFT has made investments in technology that diminish the need for SANs.

if there is any market segment that should die, it it the storage vendors, almost all of whom put out expensive crap with horrible performance. Unfortunately, people seem to like buying expensive crap with horrible performance too much to try a Windows SMB built with good Infini-band connections.
Same as VMware
If the vendors slash their pricing they may stand a chance... but otherwise looks like the end as far as SQL Server needs go.

Cybercrooks have found another application for ransomware, the horrible software that locks up a PC until money is handed over: it's now being used to push fake antivirus onto victims.
Reveton - a widespread piece of ransomware that infects machines, falsely accuses marks of downloading images of child abuse and demands a fine to unlock the computers - has been adjusted to frighten users into buying craptastic security software.
Said software is bogus antivirus, otherwise known as scareware, which announces the PC is riddled with computer viruses and Trojans, a compelling claim that is also a lie: users are tricked into paying for a full version of the dud software in order to remove the non-existent nasties. Running such programs could utterly compromise the machine and the user's security.
Christopher Boyd, a senior threat researcher at ThreatTrack Security, has more on this use of ransomware to push sales of scareware in a blog post featuring screenshots here.
The Reveton hijack intercepted by ThreatTrack "ditches the locked desktop in favour of something a little more old school – horror of horrors, a piece of Fake AV called Live Security Professional," Boyd explained. Users are swooped on by the software nasty after visiting websites contaminated with browser exploits and the like courtesy of the Sweet Orange Exploit Kit.
Internet scumbags have previously used ransomware to peddle survey scams that earned crooks affiliate revenues from dodgy marketing firms. Grafting scareware onto ransomware is simply the next step. ®

On World Environment Day, 5 June 2007, the Secretary-General pledged to explore ways of making the United Nations more climate-friendly and environmentally sustainable and to develop a climate-neutral approach to its premises and operations. The Environment Management Group, under the leadership of the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), was, in line with that commitment, given the task of carrying out a study of how best to proceed with making the United Nations climate neutral.

At the United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Cancun in December 2010, the United Nations system highlighted its readiness to support Member States in implementing their commitments through side events and information material that presented the system's ongoing work and practical tools.

Many North American kaizen events often lead to fork truck free environments in manufacturing according to Topper Industrial. Kaizen is Japanese for improvement and when used in the business sense and applied to the workplace, kaizen refers to activities that continuously improve all functions and involve all employees from the CEO to the assembly line workers. Kaizen is a daily process; it goes beyond simple productivity improvement. It is also a process that humanizes the workplace, eliminates overly hard work, and teaches people how to perform experiments on their work using the scientific method and how to learn to spot and eliminate waste in business processes.
Successful implementation requires participation of workers in the improvement. People at all levels of an organization participate in kaizen, from the CEO to line laborers. Kaizen on a broad, cross-departmental scale in companies, generates total quality management, and frees human efforts through improving productivity using machines and computing power.
While kaizen may deliver small improvements, the culture of continual aligned small improvements and standardization yields large results in terms of overall improvement in productivity. In modern usage, it is designed to address a particular issue over the course of a week and is referred to as a "kaizen blitz" or "kaizen event." A person who makes a large contribution in the successful implementation of kaizen during kaizen events is awarded the title of "Zenkai."

Making a seamless tile
The first is to take what you've learned by removing the scratches to make a seamless tiling texture. There are filters that do a decent job of doing this for you, but that's not going to teach you much about how to retouch photos. To start, hit images.google.com and find yourself an image that's close to a pattern, like a rug swatch or a flat shot of wood. My image:
Open it in your editor and then we're going to use a trick I learned while making a map for Quake 3. In Photoshop, select Filter/Other/Offset… and offset your pixels to the side about 50% of your image width it doesn't really matter, you just need to see the seam and be able to remove it without hitting the left or right side (don't worry about offsetting the top and bottom, we'll get to that after). If someone knows how to do this in The GIMP, please let me know. I couldn't see a similar filter.
So here is something like what you should have:
Now we'll get to removing the line and the sheen at the left so that the texture can tile horizontally.
Click for animation
If you were using this for a game map or something where it would be tiling a lot, you'd also want to remove any obvious repeating elements like a single knot in the wood. Once you're confident you have removed the seam, offset filter the texture vertically and remove that seam. If you're content to simply remove the seam, then you can move on, but if you want a truly seamless tile, then test your image by selecting all (Edit/Select All) and creating a pattern in Edit/Define Pattern. Make a new document that's much larger than your single texture tile and then fill it with your pattern (command/control delete for Photoshop users).
Almost there but there is a little bit of visible repeating sheen left to clean up
You don't have to get it perfectly seamless if you don't want, but it's a good exercise for learning how to clone with a specific goal in mind. Now with your new cloning powers, we'll move onto the more strictly photographic retouching.

Want to know why the best golfers in the world are so good? They spend hours upon hours working on their short game. But while most guys on tour head out to their respective courses to work on their game each day, Rory McIlroy might be the only guy, next to Tiger Woods, with a backyard practice facility that would make any golfer drool.
During a recent interview with the BBC, McIlroy took the crew around for a tour of his massive practice areaat his Northern Ireland home, replete with bunkers designed from all over the world, including a replica of the "Road Hole" bunker at St. Andrews.
McIlroy said he's been spending a lot of time in that one recently, gearing up for the Open Championship and the pot bunkers he'll face at Sandwich. Aside from the multiple bunkers, he has a number of different putting greens that vary in speed, depending on the next tournament he's playing. And did we mention the sand in the bunkers happen to be from Royal Portrush Golf Club?
Seriously, this facility blows every challenger out of the water. I'm surprised it doesn't have its own greenskeeper. Oh wait, it does. With a setup like this, nobody should be shocked if McIlroy's short game helps him win a handful of majors in the future.

Interested in Language
(Source: Iceberg Slim Pimp-the story of my life)
The section of the novel that contains the word:
Now listen carefully. I want you to work nothing but the street. Stay out of bars. Dont drink, smoke gangster, or use anything while you re working. Your skull has got to be sharp and clean out there. Otherwise you could use your life, and almost as bad, my scratch. Believeve me, I am not yeasting it. I want you to memorize everything that happens while you re working. I want a rundown every night after you knock off.
Slim gives instructions to his girl before letting her out to work. His intention is to make her understand that there are serious dangers out there and she has to be very careful.
So what does yeasting mean here?

SAN FRANCISCO – The Board of Supervisors got a dressing down during a hearing on a proposed San Francisco public nudity ban.
Gypsy Taub took off her clothes during Monday"s hearing and had to be taken away by sheriff"s deputies. She agreed to get dressed and wasn"t arrested or cited.
Supervisor Scott Wiener proposed the law that would ban nudity on public streets, a law designed to get a group of naked men to stop lounging around on Castro district streets, among other things.
The San Francisco Chronicle says speakers tussled over whether the Castro "naked guys" were a few harmless individuals just expressing themselves or a growing public nuisance.
Weiner"s proposal was approved by the board"s Neighborhood Services committee and it now goes to the full board later this month.

Bo Levi Mitchell leads Stampeders past Bombers
Rene Paredes sets new FG record
Bo Levi Mitchell wasn't strutting around after his first career start, which featured three touchdown strikes in the Calgary Stampeders' 37-24 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday.
"Happy, but never satisfied," Mitchell said of his performance.
"Complacency is key — to make sure that you're never being complacent, you're always working to get better."
Mitchell, Calgary's third-stringer, got the start ahead of Drew Tate, who sat out with a forearm injury and Kevin Glenn, who's out with an elbow injury. The Texas native completed 29 of 33 pass attempts for 376 yards as the Stampeders advanced to 4-1 on the season.
And Rene Paredes did the rest with his sure foot.
The third-year Calgary kicker made all five of his field-goal attempts, setting a CFL record for consecutive regular-season field goals with 34, breaking Paul McCallum's record of 30 from 2011.
"I'm happy we got the win and I got the record at the same time," Paredes said, adding he's not predicting how many he might reach before the streak ends.
"That's 34. I'm going one by one. We'll see how it goes."
The Bombers dropped to 1-4 in front of 31,567 fans at Investors Group Field.
Winnipeg has lost eight straight games to the Stampeders, failing to secure a victory against the Calgary team since Week 2 of 2009.
Mitchell threw TD passes to Greg Carr, Anthony Parker and Marquay McDaniel. Rob Maver added a 50-yard punt single and Paredes' field goals from 37, 19, 26, 32 and 23 yards sealed the deal.
First-timers clash
The game marked the first CFL matchup in 17 years to feature quarterbacks making their first pro starts for both teams as Bombers' backup Justin Goltz took the field for Buck Pierce, who suffered a stomach injury in last week's loss to Toronto.
Goltz threw a pair of touchdown passes to third-year receiver Jade Etienne from five and eight yards out, marking Etienne's first and second career CFL TDs.
Bomber Justin Palardy connected on a 41-yard field goal and Chad Simpson ran in a two-yard TD with 1:19 left in the game.
Calgary led 8-7 after the first quarter, 17-14 at halftime and 27-14 after the third quarter.
"I don't think they came out and really did anything different in the second half," said Goltz, who was 19-of-35 for 194 yards, two TDs and one interception.
"I think we have to take a lot of that on our own shoulders. There was a handful of throws I would have liked to have back and there were throws I know I can complete."
Pierce said late this week he felt healthy enough to play, but head coach Tim Burke went with Goltz, saying the trainers told him otherwise.
Goltz has no idea if he did enough to earn a second start in B.C. on Aug. 5.
"I don't know. That's out of my control," he said. "I wish I would have done more and made it more concrete, to be completely honest."
Both quarterbacks notched their first career touchdown passes in the opening quarter.
Mitchell tossed a 27-yard TD strike to the six-foot-six Carr in the end zone, who outstretched five-foot-nine defensive back Marty Markett for the ball at 12:23.
Goltz recorded his first TD pass in a six-play, 73-yard drive that included his 40-yard pass to Rory Kohlert on a broken play. Calgary was also called for a face mask on the play and Winnipeg moved to Calgary's 11-yard line.
After a six-yard run by Simpson, the Michigan native fired a quick pass to Etienne as he crossed in front of the goal post with time running out in the opening quarter. Goltz sent Etienne his second TD pass on the same route at 3:38 of the second quarter.
"It's nice, but it sucks to lose," said Etienne, who hails from Regina.
After a turnover on downs by the Bombers, Paredes booted his fourth field goal of the game, improving Calgary's lead to 27-14 with less than three minutes left in the third quarter, and securing the victory for the Stamps as they head into their bye week.
The Bombers worked for Simpson's late TD run, which finished off a 17-play, 75-yard drive.
Calgary running back Jon Cornish rushed 16 times for 88 yards, lead both teams in receiving yards with six catches for 87 yards.
"Thanks to a great team effort we had a balanced offence," said Stamps head coach John Hufnagel, who added that Mitchell read and saw the field well. "First of all, our offensive line played great. They opened up some holes and they provided Bo some protection so my compliments really go to my offensive line."

Dear friends in Brisbane,
Prime Minister Gillard and her Cabinet are meeting in Brisbane this afternoon for crucial deliberations on how to handle asylum seekers in the wake of the High Court decision yesterday.
Their choice is stark: they could recommit to Australia's international obligations and process asylum seekers in a faster, more humane way here in Australia. Or they could reopen the processing centres John Howard established in Papua New Guinea and Nauru as part of his so-called 'Pacific Solution'.
These are countries where asylum seekers have waited for up to four years for resolution of their cases, usually without legal representation and with limited access to medical and psychiatric care . In fact, just months ago Immigration Minister Chris Bowen himself said "the Pacific solution did not break the people smugglers' business model; it broke the will and spirit of asylum seekers." 1
Can you join other Brisbane locals this afternoon to remind the Minister of his own words, and ensure the Government see our message before making this important decision? The entire Cabinet will be at Yeronga High School for a 'Community Cabinet' meeting - so we know exactly where they, and the national media, will be.
Where: across the road from Yeronga High School - 159 Villa St, Yeronga.
When: this afternoon 4:30 till 5:30pm
Look for: Banners with the words 'we remember'
Yes! I can come.. (Click following link)
I can't come but I'll email my MP about this
Why is this important? Because perhaps the Government think we've all forgotten what it was like -- John Howard's callous approach to refugees.
That we've forgotten the days when families who arrived on our shores fleeing war and persecution were palmed to remote detention centres on pacific islands. Forgotten the four years some waited out of sight and mind, turning slowly mad in a limbo without adequate healthcare, education nor psychiatric help... nor hope.
It would be easy to lose our tempers at this moment - but our message is too important for that. When you come down to the CBD tonight you'll be joined by other regular GetUp members from across Brisbane: folks who don't won't to see Australia return to horrendous policies. We'll stand together in silence holding banners that say 'we remember' to create an image that politicians and our national media won't be able to miss as they walk into the meeting.
Click here to RSVP and come along to Yeronga High tonight:

Road test: Hyundai Veloster Turbo has plenty of show and go
THE exterior of the Veloster SR Turbo already gives a clear indication of its intentions but start it up, rev the engine and it's like music for the soul.
When we drove the Veloster + (with a naturally aspirated engine) some six months ago, we approached it with the same flutter of anticipation and were mildly disappointed - it looked the part but there was not much go.
The SR Turbo with its direct injection, turbocharged engine has none of those hang ups impressing in a not so quietly confident way from the start. A pleasing price-tag and a fistful of extras make it all the more appealing.
Interestingly Hyundai has chosen to treat the interior of the Veloster Turbo with relaxed elegance instead of the all-out bling usually favoured in hot hatches.
There is a part of me that would prefer a tad more colour in the speedo and tacho fixtures to perhaps add a dash of daring but all in all it remains a favourable impression.
The instruments and dials are thoughtfully set out (except for the start/stop button), the chrome highlights add interest and the cheaper plastics are well hidden.
The front seats are well designed and supportive with generous width not usually associated with sporty numbers. The rear pew is a tad flat but more than manageable. The space in the back is a feather in Hyundai's cap with good legroom and fair headroom despite a sloping roof. The boot is surprisingly big and deep with a large mouth making it easy to stow more awkward items.
On the road
With a 46% increase in power and almost 60% rise in torque the Turbo is streets ahead of the naturally-aspirated Veloster range. The 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbo engine delivers an easy exciting ride with most of the thrills promised by its sporty exterior.
Both the steering wheel and gear stick of our test car felt naturally comfortable in the hand serving as willing partners in the Turbo's impressive dance. Gear shifts are smooth, the clutch catches early and the SR gets about with purpose warming to even the most arduous tasks with minimum fuss.
Torque is available lower down the rev range (from 1750rpm) negating a large percentage of turbo lag with the Veloster using the additional armour to keep the driver on side. Steering, for the most part is direct, with the Turbo showing great flair for corners even when they are combined with steep climbs.
This Veloster SR was tuned for Australian conditions and it shows in its agility and ability on roads which have seen better days.
The brakes are better too with larger and thicker front rotors helping with brake fade - a confidence boosting thought when you are really putting the car through its paces.
Other options
The past 12 months have seen something resembling a resurgence in hot hatches with the Mini Cooper S (from $40,700), Renault Megane RS250 (from $41,990), Subaru BRZ ($36,990), Toyota 86 (from $29,990) and Citroen DS3 DSport (from $27,990 drive-away) all jostling for position on the starting grid.
What do you get?
Superior standard inclusions are now a given with Hyundai and the Veloster Turbo follows in this vein. Features enhancing the value-for-money factor include Bluetooth connectivity, keyless entry with push-button start, 18-inch wheels, electric glass sunroof, reverse camera and sensors, sat nav, auto headlights and automatic climate control.
A five-star ANCAP rating comes courtesy of the full safety suite, including an anti-lock braking system with EBD and brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, side impact intrusion bars and six airbags.
The rear left passenger door is not simply a conversation piece - it is useful too.
It is always next to the kerb making for a safer exit and the wide opening allows easy access especially for those doing up car seats.
Rear vision is hampered by a small sloping window although parking is helped by a reverse camera and sensors.
Passengers sit directly under the rear window which on hot days with the sun beating down can be a slightly uncomfortable experience.
Running costs
We averaged about 7.7 litres/100km with quite a bit of urban driving thrown into that mix. It is obviously more than the 6.8 litres/100km promised by Hyundai but not by much especially considering the thirst of some rivals. Hyundai offers a five-year unlimited kilometre warranty and three years capped price servicing.
Funky factor
If the entry Veloster made you sit up and take notice the improvements made to the Turbo SR will really grab the attention.
In keeping with Hyundai's "fluidic sculpture" design language the Veloster Turbo has deeper side skirts, a larger spoiler, restyled bumpers and a bigger grille.
Whether you are picking the kids up, are out for a leisurely afternoon drive or making a late-night dash to the supermarket, it certainly is a crowd puller.
What matters most
What we liked: Sporty nature, quality inclusions.
What we'd like to see: Better vision, auto wipers.
Warranty and servicing: Five-year unlimited kilometres warranty, three years fixed-price servicing and one year road-side assist. Servicing is every six months or 7500km, at and average of $194.
Vital statistics
Model: Hyundai Veloster SR Turbo.
Details: Three-door front-wheel drive hot hatch.
Transmission: Six-speed automatic or six-speed manual
Engine: 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol generating maximum power of 150kW @ 6000rpm and peak torque of 256Nm between 1750rpm-4500rpm.
Consumption: 6.8 litres/100km (7.6 litres auto) combined average.
CO2: 163g/km; 181g/km (auto)
Bottom line: $31,990 (manual); $33,990 (auto) plus on-roads.

About this blog
FLEFF Intern Voices
The Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival from the interns' point of view
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
Blog posting written by Shea Lynch, Documentary Studies '13, FLEFF Intern, Glens Falls, New York
I would like to thank everyone that was apart of FLEFF 2013!
It was one of the best years yet and we had one of the most engaged intern teams, both bloggers and interns. It's time to say goodbye as I finish up my last semester here at Ithaca College. It has been a great three semesters for me and I'm glad that I got the opportunity to work alongside festival guests, fellow classmates and Dr. Zimmermann.
When I first started FLEFF, I was nervous. I didn't really know what to expect. I was suddenly thrown into this world of independent media, complex foreign films and of course tabling! This was such a unique experience to my other classes that it became a breath of fresh air. I was forced to think differently and I was challenged to explore areas of film I was otherwise hesitant to touch.
I became a blogger my first year because I had never immersed myself in this style of writing; I didn't even know it was a style of writing. Tags? Search Engine Optimization? I was still trying to figure out where to sit in the dining halls.
But with this leap of faith, I gained something valuable. I was able to focus my studies and really understand what I wanted to do after college. I understood the world of social interaction online and learned it takes much more than just posting on Facebook. Much like the films we were writing about, the process of pushing out new information was a complex, multi-layered process.
When I first started school, I had no idea what I wanted to do. After interning for FLEFF for two semesters, I got a craving to learn more about social media. I took a class this semester about social media and then got hands on experience this semester with street teaming, Derive, and the collaboration with Engage Media.
I now feel prepared and ready to start my path as a community manager for film festivals or museums.

The Moscow & Anti-Moscow Variations
An Insider's ViewProduct Code: B0052EU
Publisher: Chess Stars
Author: Alexey Dreev
Year of Publication: 2010
Pages: 176
Notation Type: Figurine (FAN)
Book DescriptionRussian Grandmaster Alexey Dreev is a leading expert on opening theory. The Moscow Variation and the Anti-Moscow Gambit are his "trademark" systems.
GM Dreev writes...
The positions arising in the Moscow variation and the Anti-Moscow variation are in principle so different that I have decided to arrange the material in the two parts of the book in different fashion too. The part of the book, which deals with the analysis of the plans and possibilities in the much calmer Moscow variation can be compared to a thorough guide of the series "street by street".
The most fashionable positions have been extensively analyzed and I have given some recommendations, which have not been tested in practice yet. The Moscow variation and the Anti-Moscow variation are an integral part of the opening armour of practically all the best chess players in the world (Some of them even play it for both sides...).
Among the super-experts who play it with Black, it would be sufficient to name Viswanathan Anand, Vassily Ivanchuk, Boris Gelfand, Levon Aronian, Peter Leko, Peter Svidler, Sergey Karjakin and they all have contributed considerably to the development of its theory. The players who have set the standard of fashion in its development for White are Vladimir Kramnik, Magnus Carlsen, Veselin Topalov, Ruslan Ponomariov,Alexander Khalifman, Alexander Grischuk, Teimour Radjabov, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, etc.
Garry Kasparov has contributed immensely to the theory of both systems.
The author of this book has been playing both variations with Black for many years, including at the very top-level and often quite successfully. The results of my analyses, as well as my calculations during the games have laid the foundation of this book. I hope that it will be useful for the chess players at all levels, even for these who just begin to study the theory of the opening.
This book deals thoroughly with the standard plans and ideas for both sides on the basis of general chess principles and common sense.

Some of our favorite celebrities like Dianna Agron and Chanel Iman stripped down their lip color for a nude look natural to any skin tone. When it comes to make up this season, less is definitely more. A bare lip leaves you looking fresh faced and demure. This no-muss no-fuss lip wear is not only easy, but also universal.
From a smoky eye to a pop of color on the lid, anything goes with a light and neutral lip tone. You can even pump up your hair's volume, or binge on bold patterns and colors to balance your bare face. For a nice nude lip of your own, find a clear or barely there lip gloss to soften your lips with slight shine. If you feel too naked wearing nothing else, find a light neutral or pink lipstick that looks bare but most importantly beautiful!

The Federal Reserve has taken its boldest action since the Great Depression, invoking rarely used powers in an effort to contain a panic threatening to undermine the economy. The central bank acted with speed the White House and Congress only could envy.
The Fed is largely free from many constraints that bog down other policymakers. Also, it is the only U.S. institution with the authority and ability to create money out of thin air.
For now, the steps orchestrated by Chairman Ben Bernanke, in the first critical test of his leadership since succeeding Alan Greenspan in early 2006, are earning praise from the Bush administration, Congress and presidential contenders Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John McCain.
But the Fed's moves are raising questions about whether its regulatory powers, established in the early 20th century, need overhauling and whether it took on some responsibilities that Congress and the administration should have shouldered.
In a remarkable week, the Fed:
- Engineered the fire sale of bankruptcy-headed Bear Stearns Cos. to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. with a $30 billion loan.
- Offered emergency loans to other securities dealers under terms normally reserved for regulated banks.
- Slashed a key short-term interest rate by three quarters of a percentage point, to 2.25 percent. The cut was sixth since September.
These steps followed moves to lend $100 billion in cash to banks and $200 billion in Treasury bonds to cash-strapped investment banks. The goal was to keep the financial system from seizing up.
"I spent 35 years on Wall Street, have been a Fed watcher for a long time and I have never seen the potential for a more severe credit crisis than this one," said David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors and a former Wall Street economist. "It looks like we turned the corner precisely because of what the Fed did."
Was this the first look at a more activist Fed or just a targeted response to a looming economic meltdown?
Either way, the financial sector and its regulators are expected to come under congressional scrutiny in the days ahead.
Lawmakers from both parties are coming up with suggestions for restructuring the regulation of financial markets. The Treasury Department is working on its own blueprint for change.
Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, is proposing new regulations on investment banks similar to those that apply to regular banks. That includes mandatory requirements for cash reserves to cushion losses.
Frank, D-Mass., said the Fed or other government entity should be designated as a "financial services regulator" with the power to limit risky practices.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said the administration would study the concept and other ideas "as we consider if there's additional things that we need to do."
Bear Stearns' unraveling and the credit woes facing other financial companies brought new attention to the Fed, which is part of the government and part of the commercial banking system.
Congress created the Fed in 1913 to prevent financial panics such as runs on banks and set it up as an independent entity. Its powers grew in 1933 and 1935. Although the Fed is subject to congressional oversight, its decisions do not have to be ratified by the president or Congress. Fed officials are not paid with money appropriated by Congress.
It has a seven-member board of governors, led now by Bernanke, and headquarters in Washington. Fed members are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. There are two vacancies currently.
The system includes 12 Reserve Banks in major cities. These banks have their own boards of directors, two-thirds of whom are elected by commercial banks in the region and one-third by the Fed board in Washington.
With this combined government-financial industry heritage, the Fed serves as the nation's central bank. It manages the money supply, sets or influences certain key short-term interest rates, engages in open market buys and sales of government securities, and oversees and provides financial services to banks.
Because of the Fed's direct influence over interest rates, the money supply, and the larger economy, some have called the Fed chairman the second most powerful job in Washington after the president.
Economist Lawrence Chimerine, president of Radnor Consulting in Philadelphia, faults the Fed, particularly under Greenspan, for not paying more attention to what was happening in mortgage markets and to the rise in subprime lending. He said Bernanke's Fed complicated the situation by "raising rates too much and being too slow to start reducing them."
Still, Chimerine said, "I don't think there's any question Bernanke did the right thing" with the recent moves. "If Bear Stearns had gone bankrupt and if this credit crunch continued to spread, we would have had a real mess."
Alice Rivlin, a former Fed vice chairman, said she does not think Bernanke exceeded his authority, even though he acted under creaky legal provisions not used since the 1930s. "The Fed has been very aggressive and imaginative, and has taken very strong actions to get the credit markets functioning again," she said. "And that's good."
Anthony Ryan, assistant treasury secretary for financial markets, said the current framework for regulating financial institutions "is a reflection of literally decades of evolution. And we have a very fragmented regulatory structure."
Before addressing any changes, "we need to continue to make sure we work through the current challenges in the markets. This has to be job one," he said in an interview with C-SPAN to air Sunday. "And the actions by the Federal Reserve to help facilitate orderliness and stability is very, very important."

The lineage of the name Hodome begins with the Anglo-Saxon tribes in Britain. It is a result of when they lived in Oldham, in Lancashire. This was a town near the city of Manchester; it has since been absorbed by that city. The place-name Oldham is derived from the Old English elements old, which means old, and ham, which means farm. The place-name therefore translates as "the old farm." Alternatively, Oldham could have meant "dweller by the long-cultivate river flat." [1]
The surname Hodome was first found in Lancashire at Oldham, an enfranchised borough, a parochial chapelry, and the head of a union, in the parish of Prestwich, hundred of Salford. Now part of Greater Manchester, the first record of the placename was found in 1226-1228 when it was listed as Aldholm. [2] "Oldham was for a long period celebrated for the manufacture of hats, which was established so early as the fifteenth century." [3]
Another possible origin of the name was found. "This place [(Werneth, Lancashire) which adjoins to the town of Oldham], anciently Fernet, was held in the reign of Henry III. by Alwardus de Aldholme, founder of the family of Oldham. His daughter and co-heiress conveyed the manor to the Cudworths, a branch of a Yorkshire family; and from them the estate passed by sale to Sir Ralph Assheton, of Middleton." [3]
We can only assume that both sources are referring to that same family at different times. Early rolls list the first record of the name not in Lancashire but as Achard de Aldeham in the Feet of Fines for Kent. Richard de Oldham was listed in Lancashire in 1384. [1] The Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 listed Agnes de Oldom and Robertus de Oldom. [4]
Further to the north, Hoddam is parish in the county of Dumfries, Scotland. "This parish comprehends the ancient parishes of Hoddam, Luce, and Ecclesfechan, which were united in 1609. Hoddam, in ancient charters, is spelt Hodholm and Hodolm, signifying 'the head of the holm,' and is supposed to have derived that appellation from its situation on the bank of the river Annan, where the ground is flat and rich, and what is usually called holm land." [5]
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Hodome research. Another 104 words (7 lines of text) covering the years 1486, 1480, 1505, 1486, 1480, 1452, 1519, 1653 and 1683 are included under the topic Early Hodome History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name Hodome has undergone many spelling variations, including Oldham, Oldum, Oldan, Oldhams and others.
Another 44 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Hodome Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Hodome were among those contributors: John Oldham (c.1600-1636) who emigrated to Plymouth in 1623, was involved in establishing the unsuccessful settlement on Cape Ann (1626), and was murdered by the Pequot in an event leading to the Pequot War (1637). Thomas Oldham settled in New England in 1635.

22 EU Countries Ratify ACTA, Key Parliament Member Calls it a 'Charade'
Most member states of the European Union have signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) at a ceremony in Tokyo, Japan on Thursday, Jan. 26.
ACTA is a global treaty that tries to normalize copyright protection and IP standards. It's similar to SOPA and PIPA, proposed U.S. laws which have recently been dropped after massive internet protests, but in many ways even more dangerous.
Unfortunately (and unlike SOPA and PIPA), ACTA has been signed by many states without a wide, open public discussion. Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore and the United States signed the ACTA on 1 Oct 2011.
As of yesterday, they are joined by Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Finally, according to a statement by Japan's foreign affairs Ministry, the EU states which did not sign ACTA yet are "expected to do so on the completion of respective domestic procedures."
"ACTA (…) aims to improve enforcement mechanisms to help its members combat IPR infringement more effectively," said Mr. Hans Dietmar Schweisgut, Ambassador and Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Japan.
Many, however, think that it does so at the expense of internet users' privacy and freedom. In Poland, thousands of people have taken to the streets, protesting the signing of ACTA. And now, French socialist and member of the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade Kader Arif has resigned from his position of European rapporteur for ACTA and posted a stern note about the lack of transparency surrounding the signing of ACTA.
"This agreement may have major consequences on the lives of our citizens, and yet everything is done in such a way that the European Parliament has no say on the matter. So today, in submitting this report in my charge, I want to send a strong signal and alert the public about this unacceptable situation. I will not participate in this charade," he wrote.
The ACTA is not yet in effect. It has to be ratified by the European Parliament this summer. Let's hope for a healthy, open discussion in the Parliament that will clear air of secrecy surrounding ACTA and result in a decision that's best for the citizens and internet users all over the world.

And this is the company that recently slagged off its users for not having enough security?
And how is it that there isn't enough security with Windows so we have to go elswhere to find adequate protection?
Microsoft plans to push out a bumper crop of 16 bulletins - four critical - as part of the October edition of Patch Tuesday next week. The updates represent Microsoft's largest ever Patch Tuesday. The patches will collectively grapple with 49 vulnerabilities. The four critical bulletins impact all supported versions of Windows …
I've just applied the openssl updates on my Ubuntu workstation. A popup window, a description of the problem, and a password prompt because I had to authorise the fix before it applied. No reboot needed on this one, as it wasn't a kernel update so I just kept on working. Come to think about it it's a month or so since I did reboot it.
Any useful desktop operating system contains so many million lines of code (MLOC) that at any given time some of these will be risky, and the rate of discovery of faults and fixes in these seems to increase in proportion to the MLOC count. Alas a proportion of these faults will be zero day vulnerabilities which are not widely known about or patched yet, but your computer is vulnerable to a much greater number of attackers the longer you delay patching after these faults are discovered and published and fixes made available.
So go elsewhere by all means as I have, and you may find things less bad as I have, but don't expect to find perfection elsewhere because you won't, and whichever system you use you do need to keep up with the patches. But you are likely to find things better than what you are used to. Much of the trouble on the Net comes from compromised computers belonging to people using cracked and unlicensed versions of Windows, for which Microsoft has no obligation or incentive to provide patches and updates. That and the fact that most Windows users need to obtain software from 3rd party sites to get basic stuff done, where there is no integrated supply-chain quality-assurance and integrity verification of the kind you get with an open-source/free software Linux distribution repository and package management system.
"I've just applied the openssl updates on my Ubuntu workstation. A popup window, a description of the problem, and a password prompt because I had to authorise the fix before it applied. No reboot needed on this one, as it wasn't a kernel update so I just kept on working. Come to think about it it's a month or so since I did reboot it."
This comment is interesting to me because I received the same prompt to update openssl, yet after installing it Ubuntu asked for a reboot. Should I have ignored this request? If so, I have to say this kind of behaviour is not very helpful for someone unfamiliar with Linux.
Incidentally, it's the second time *this month* I've installed Ubuntu updates that have requested a reboot.
"Incidentally, it's the second time *this month* I've installed Ubuntu updates that have requested a reboot"
We are likely to be on different Ubuntu versions or variants running different kernels. The openssl bugs would have applied across various security-supported versions, and these of themselves shouldn't require a reboot. But maybe your kernel updated as well at the same time and mine didn't. You'll probably find that Ubuntu needs to reboot fewer times than Windows for automated security related patches. Also depending upon the kernel problems fixed, the extent to which you understand these and your relative degree of firewalling and the services you are running and providing, not all kernel updates require an immediate reboot. But if you don't understand what a kernel fix was for, you are better off rebooting than not when the update system suggests this course of action. If you daily shutdown and restart your system there is probably no need to worry about this, as your kernel patches will be effective within 24 hours anyway.
It might be more worthwhile if Microsoft did, as a public service, release security updates to all. That way compromised botnets could be reduced as vulnerabilities are patched. Think of it as vaccination to improve herd immunity.
Trouble is its a bit of an arms race out there, so ultimately all bets are off
downloading update installers from microsoft, writing a simple batch script running these in quiet unattended mode logging successes/failures to a text file, using psexec to run it on all computers and then perhaps manually updating those where your log file indicates any failures. Should be quicker if you got more than 5-6 computers to update.

Dear El Reg....
Next time you post a story regarding Microsoft (tm) windows (tm) updates, do you think it would be possible to copy and paste the comments from previous stories regarding Microsoft (tm) windows (tm) updates to save everyone the effort of posting the exact same posts time and time again.
Its getting silly now...
yes, windows gets a new batch of updates....
"I just appreciate the fact software can never be perfect and value the effort MS etc go to in providing us with the ongoing support and patches. Thanks,"
I just ran software update on a customers Mac mini and really appreciate the effort Apple went to in providing the 900Mb update that has left the machine unable to boot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
/sarcasm, no offence to OP
"I just appreciate the fact software can never be perfect and value the effort MS etc go to in providing us with the ongoing support and patches. Thanks,"
I just ran software update on a customers Mac mini and really appreciate the effort Apple went to in providing the 900Mb update that has left both my machines working perfectly.
/sarcasm, no offence to OP
You don't have much experience with a mac....900mb update. Never encountered one that size so what exactly were you updating.
The largest combo updater I've encountered on OSX was less than half that size. I bet your customer has never, repaired permissions, which do change through everyday use.
As any fool knows, don't use software update to update software. Manually dl and install locally, making sure you have a bootable back up, just in case. IT!!
So, are Microstuffed themselves now trying to gloss over the turd that was 'Vista' by referring to it as"2008R2"
Almost as big a joke as one of the world's biggest petrochemical companies opting for Vista globally.
Mind you, up until this, they were still using NT/2000...
2008R2 is shorthand for Windows Server 2008R2 (Release 2, presumably, but I CBF to check).
Which, as I understand the roadmap, is the server version of Windows 7. Although the server version of Vista, Server 2008, was pretty good anyway, as the real cock-up in Vista was the front end, not the kernel, as such.
Do you know if any of those 49 vulns is .Net related? In my box the number of pending .NET updates from v2.0 to v4.0 that can't install properly is constantly increasing - presently there are 10 (ten!) of them in the list... I did spend one full day reading authoritative MS forums and trying various magic solutions to no avail. In the beginning I thought this must be MS's way to convince me I need to move on from XP, but from what I've read the issue gracefully plagues all versions of Windows. Since there are only a handful of .NET apps available and I'm not running any of them, I don't intend spending more time to address the issue until I migrate to Windows 8 in 2013 (provided I survive the 2012 doom). Fortunately, until then MS will surely stop issuing patches for XP and then I'll feel safe at last...
Ah, that'll be the magic of .net. 7 different versions, all DLL hell on overload.
To fix, largely ignore MS's KB articles about small in place tweaks and uninstall the lot. Reboot. Install them again from fresh (new download versions). That should fix the .not mess for a bit until the next screw themselves up.
Mr Bill did some enormous talk about a so-called "Security Development Lifecycle" in 2006. You have to admit then man does indeed have some humor. Especially when MS recently had to fix holes which were present already in Windows 3.1, ca 1994 or so. Or their various crypto snafus like the latest with the unprotected cookie.
Read on you own:
Engineering for Security
BILL GATES: Well, now let's talk about progress in the second area, engineering for security. I mentioned an overall process that we've created, working with others, called the Security Development Lifecycle, and that's exactly this idea of going through, thinking about the threat models, understanding what code to run at what privilege level. Some of this involves the creation of new tools, tools that do extremely deep static analysis of our code, and for the first time we're actually able to prove properties of the code, understand does it ever get into certain states or not, and if it does, be able to show exactly the path that would create those states.
A lot of this is really going to the developers, getting them to write the security architecture as one of the very first things they do. We've documented this and we're sharing that, lots of good feedback, and active community involvement, so you can scope it so it works for projects of different types. Obviously, the ones we do are very large scale, but these principles actually can be applied even for doing simple Web sites, simple applications, it's still very, very important.
We have the tools built in to the Visual Studio compiler. These are the tools that we built ourselves to do these analyses, and so, for example, catching a memory overrun or looking at an API, we're actually not passing in the right kind of information, those will get flagged, and these tools run fast enough that you don't wait and have it be part of some fancy build process, literally this runs on every developers workstation before they can do any code check in. So making that quick, getting it upfront, we've found that that works extremely well.
Haaaa Big Knobs from Microsoft saying PEOPLE USING THEIR SOFTWARE, their pox infested software, their buggy, easy to hack, insecure, their technological "dumbarse" software... should be blocked if their FUNDAMENTALLY INSECURE Microsoft Operating system is hacked and or infested; and they should be licensed to use the web.
Prompting the next question: "By Whom?", Become a Microsoft Certified Web User - after paying a heap to Microsoft - to sit their shitty tests, for their shitty software.
More trips to the psych ward for overdosing on corporate moron bullshit?
No thanks.
OK. I confess - Microsoft gave me every good reason I needed to move to Linux, and Linux gave me every reason I needed to keep using it.
Microsofts patches are essentially worthless.
