No, pronounced as "win". It is supposedly a variant of the Welsh name Gwyn, so it means fair/blessed/pure/holy, etc.

I love all the actors and actresses in it- Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Diane Krugar, and Eric Banas.
One could argue that Hector is the most noble character in the whole movie, and that is something that really gets him nowhere in the end.
On the positive side, the movie is action packed, the special effects are great, the acting is very good and the cast are wonderful.

Well after renting and viewing both movies simultaneously, I can confidently say both movies are the longer director's cut version.

"...exposes the frequent mistakes made by law enforcement and government agencies, and demonstrates how the failures to prevent 9/11 were tragically not an exception but typical. Along the way, by delving into terror financing, the links between far-flung terror organizations, and how the United States responded over the years to other attacks, Posner also makes a damning case that 9/11 could have been prevented." (Book jacket)
"This book cogently points out that, of course, all Americans have the right to speak their minds. But, all too often, the actions by the anti-American Left become destructive and anarchistic. You need not look any further than the explosive 1999 World Trade Organization "protests" in Seattle, campus book burnings, or even John Walker Lindh to see that factions on the Left are the worst perpetrators of anti-Americanism. And what may be most shocking is that many of these anti-Americans are at the same time teachers, professors, journalists, news reporters, and even judges and politicians."

I've been given a bunch of feedback on Herenow. I thought I'd make a blog post to list the main feature requests that my friends and other users have given me.
I've been given a bunch of feedback on Herenow. I thought I'd make a blog post to list the main feature requests that my friends and other users have given me.
So this is a total hack, but it works. Try it out. Basically, I've exported the json that represents the static polygons in the physics simulation, and hardcoded the translation functions to convert physics-space to world space. I also hacked up box2d to increase the maximum translation speed (I probably need to scale everything down to do it properly). I also made the streets too wide in the physics. I might go back and fix that. But yeah, you can get a feel for how the game engine might work, with being able to walk up and down streets and side streets. I think it could be a pretty cool game mechanic.
So I did a bit of work on Tuesday today, but also did a good afternoons work on my virtual tourist game. Here is the latest.
I've done some more work on trying to make a walking simulator on openstreetmap data. I used jsclipper to draw a big rectangle, then extruded the streetlines and cut them out of the rectangle, then turned the polygons into convex hulls and loaded them into box2d. See here for a demonstartion. The code is super ugly at the moment.
I discovered mapbox gl for the web the other day. It's an awesome library by mapbox that renders vector tiles in the browser using webgl. It's super fast, and allows rotation of the map, which let me prototype something I've been trying to do for ages.
I've got a few node.js apps kicking around on my computer that I've been wanting to deploy for a while, but I'd never got around to it. Happily, I decided to try and deploy the asset-server.
I bought one of the new AOC 4K Monitors (a u2868pqu). It's a great monitor, and available for only $800 in New Zealand. I ordered mine from mightyape and it arrived the next day.
At work today, I did a demo of some of the VR stuff I've been hacking on. It was pretty cool, everyone was way more interested in the 3D / VR stuff than they were in my other projects, which made me think that I need to get my shit together and release some of this stuff.
As part of my exploring metaverse stuff lately, I've been thinking of ways I could make some cash moneys off the technology I've built. One of the first ideas I've come across, is to make a walk-through visualizer for architectural models. So as well as providing a global metaverse where anyone can upload art, also have private workspaces where people can place models and walk through them with their clients.
I've been doing quite a bit of work on metaverse.sh (there's no site there are the moment) lately, trying to get the model uploader workflow going.
I've been teaching myself mobile development for the past 6 months, and last week, I decided to put aside my full time project and instead try and build and release something quickly, to get experience with the whole app store submission process, and also to write an app with all the knowledge I'd gained over the previous 6 months (my previous project looks like a total nightmare).
So I'm getting closer to releasing With. I was reading DHHs post about hybrid apps, where you use native navigation and display content using webviews, and since it was slow going trying to write a purely native version of With, I decided to go hybrid.
I think I've posted about this before, but having had a bit more experience building mobile apps, I think there's a great opportunity to take the list of local reddits and build a customised app with a messageboard for each city. Basically replicate the post link, upvote/downvote, start conversations functionality that reddit provides on a city basis and make a customised app for your city that does this.
So I got as far as making a cool contoured terrain in WebGL before I decided that it was time to do a bit more work on With. I downloaded the latest database dump from Heroku and started doing some analysis. Where I got to last with With, is that I couldn't reliably detect encounters between people, so I put it on the backburner while I worked on other stuff and talked to friends about was to better detect encounters.
A big part of the VR experience (especially in a headset like the oculus rift) is the ability to talk to other users. With the rift on, you can't see the keyboard, and text overlays look a bit manky anyway (since DK1 is so low resolution), so being able to naturally talk to people is a great idea. So I'd like to have voice chat in my scene-server project.
What I'm envisaging for the scene server I'm working on at the moment, is a dom-like API that you can script against, and then changes to the world get reflected down to all the connected clients. So you've got something like this:
So, I went to Monterey with Rissa last night and drunk a few beers and had a hack at using dom-lite to provide a dom interface to my scene nodes. While I was working on it, I came across micro-dom which uses
htmlparser2 to parse html and turn it into dom-lite nodes. So I decided to replace my handwritten scene parser with htmlparser2.
While working on the isometric viewer for
mv-world, I added some basic tweening to obelisk using tween.js.
So I got the world server working for my 3d world project. You can reliably connect from the client which is currently using obelisk.js to render an isometric overview of the world. I also added script element to the scene, so you can script an animation on the server, and it'll get replicated out to all the connecting clients.
So the last few weeks I've been experimenting with various multi-user 3d environment things. I originally started with a c++ app that uses bullet physics and websockets to provide a shared 3d world where anyone can drop blocks into the world and they physically interact, and the results are streamed out to all the connected clients and rendered using three.js.

Can I reuse stew liquid?
I stewed up a bunch of stuff that was going bad in my fridge along with stew meat, red wine and lots of spice. Yum! Now I've pretty much eaten up all the meat and turnips and bok choi, but I have plenty of red wine/broth humming along in my slow cooker. Is there any reason I can't just get some more potatoes and onions and meat and reuse the liquid? advice?
I have made the most delicious onion soup from stew liquid. I just caramelized a ton of onions and when they were done, poured over the stew liquid, served in big bowls with some fresh French bread. One of the best soups ever!
You can absolutely re-use it...the more times you do, the better it gets. It becomes like a kind of 'master sauce'.
Sure you can, as long as you store the broth properly inbetween. Sounds like it's still hot right now. Cool it down and refrigerate it, or freeze it if you don't want to use it right away.
re: ipsedixit
so kind of you to make such a sacrifice, ips. :P
As everyone has said -- yep, absolutely. And if you don't want to make more stew, it makes the most wonderful soup base. Add some liquid (preferably unsalted beef stock) and use whatever soup ingredients you want. Vegetable beef barley soup is always good at this time of year.

Photo Credit: MTV
Taylor Swift hit the books for her new video, "The Story of Us." The 21-year-old singer went to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. -- during a tornado! -- to film her latest country-rock breakup tune. The video premiered on Tuesday night on MTV, but you can watch it right here!
Swift has never actually attended college, and we can't help but be tickled by her idea of what happens at a university library: Girls in knee socks and messy braids fall asleep on their books, nerdy students flirt by trying on each other's glasses, etc. It's all very cute in that patented Taylor Swift way. But the singer says that the real-life story behind the song happened in a different setting entirely.
"I was at an awards show, and there was a guy there, obviously -- it all starts there, doesn't it?" Swift hints in an MTV.com interview. She says the song is about "that excruciating, awful moment when you run into an ex for the first time."
But which ex is it? Swift has said that "The Story of Us" is about the same guy who inspired her song "Dear John" -- widely believed to be her rumored fling John Mayer. If "Story of Us" is indeed about Mayer, its roots may have sprung from the awkwardness between the pair at the 2010 Country Music Awards.
So will Swift ever follow through on the video's premise and go to college herself? In a 2007 CMT interview, she said that she had decided to pursue her career instead of higher education.
"I always thought that I would go to college, most definitely. But then I really thought about it and assessed the situation, and I can't leave this life, "explained the then-teenage singer. "Going to college would mean saying goodbye to my music career, and I just can't do that. Maybe later on in life I'll end up taking a few classes or doing it online. But right now, it just isn't where I need to be."
Well, if she ever decides to go, we know she has the wardrobe for it!

State exchange is saving moneyJuly 20,2014Vermont had two choices when it came to implementing the federal Affordable Care Act: Go with the one-size-fits-all federal exchange or set up its own exchange using federal money.
Vermont chose the latter, and over the past few weeks there have been a number of voices saying that was the wrong decision. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but there is one very important reason Vermont went with its own exchange: Not doing so would have cost hard-working Vermonters hundreds if not thousands of dollars in additional insurance expenses each year.
For decades, Vermont has been a leader in health care reform. Thats a good thing. Its why were one of the healthiest states and have one of the lowest uninsured rates. State programs like Catamount and VHAP were making insurance more affordable for Vermonters years before anyone had even heard of Obamacare.
When the smoke cleared after years of fighting over the Affordable Care Act, it became clear that in some cases subsidies offered through state programs like Catamount and VHAP were more generous than what was to be available under the new federal law. That was a problem for Vermonters. All of a sudden we were faced with the very real prospect that the federal Affordable Care Act would actually make care less affordable for many middle-class Vermonters.
Vermont had a choice: Accept the subsidies available through the federal exchange and let insurance costs for many Vermonters increase, or set up our own state-based exchange and offer additional state subsidies to keep insurance costs from rising. There being no way to offer additional state subsidies through the federal exchange, the only option was to set up a state-based exchange.
That wasnt a small decision for Vermonters. Had Vermont gone with the federal exchange, Vermonters would have seen an added $1.85 million in insurance costs in 2014 alone.
On the individual level thats real money. A Vermonter making $34,000 per year would have seen additional insurance costs of more than $500 in 2014. A Vermont family with a combined income of $70,000 per year would have seen an additional expense of over $1,000 per year. Its up to the critics of our decision to go with a state-based exchange to explain why imposing those additional insurance expenses on Vermonters would have been a prudent course of action.
The rollout of Obamacare was rocky throughout the country, and Vermont was not immune. It may be good politics for individuals to argue that Vermont should have gone with the federal exchange, but it would have been extremely bad policy that would have cost hard-working Vermonters lots of money.

They both spent years (on and off, together and apart) in therapy, but it wasn't until one of their children was diagnosed with a developmental disability that they heeded their respective therapists' suggestions to try antidepressants. The biggest change for Susan—"a very intense person with a depressive side," by her own account—is that she's stopped taking everything personally. "Instead of ruminating, I can catch my breath and say, 'That didn't work out,' and move on," she says. "If I were Madonna and could get to the gym every day, I might be able to create this kind of consistency another way. But I don't think we're actually made to go through what we have to in contemporary society—the high-activity, pressure-filled lifestyle. I'm okay with getting it this way."

Ten basic steps to secure your PC and online accounts
Summary: The explosion of malware attacks and high-profile password and data breaches serve as confirmation that resourceful hackers are determined to break into your computer and online accounts. It's time to pay attention to these issues and follow some basic steps to stay secure while using your PC and surfing the web.

Update Adobe Reader immediately
Adobe Reader is a major target for skilled, organized hacking groups, especially those launching targeted attacks against businesses. The newest versions --Adobe Reader and Acrobat X contains Protected Mode, a sandbox technology that serves as a major deterrent to malicious exploits. Adobe security chief Brad Arkin says the company has not yet been a single piece of malware identified that is effective against a version X install. This is significant. Update immediately. If you still distrust Adobe's software, you may consider switching to an alternative product.
Encrypt your Web traffic
We all check e-mails or Facebook status updates in coffee shops or on public WiFi networks. It's important to invest in a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your activity and keep private data out of the hands of malicious hackers. This video explains all you need to know about the value of VPNs and how to set it up to authenticate and encrypt your web sessions. If you use public computers, consider using a portable VPN application that can run off a USB drive.
Social networks can be too social
Popular social networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are happy hunting grounds for cyber-criminals. Use common sense when sharing data, even if you think you are in a trusted environment. Do not post anything sensitive or overly revealing because your privacy is never guaranteed. Pay special attention to the security features and try to avoid clicking on strange video or links to news items that can lead to social engineering attacks.

Young Life doesn't start with a program. It starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don't happen overnight — they take time, patience, trust and consistency. So Young Life leaders log many hours with kids —where they are, as they are. We listen to their stories and learn what's important to them because we genuinely care about their joys, triumphs, heartaches and setbacks.

Computer to LCD
My last description was deeper(accidental delete) but basically the deal is I have a new i7 comp with a Radeon hd 5770 with dual monitor outputs(and I'm just learning to game). I wanted to hook my comp to my tv using a recommended dvi to hdmi cable.So, I hook it up, switch to hdmi 3, and all I see is my desktop wallpaper. No icons, no cursor, nothing. Any ideas???? It could be something in media center, but here again, in some matters I'm useless.
Thanks to all!!

I think I see what you're getting at, and where I'm going wrong. I'm not looking to go with dual monitors, I simply want to be able to watch movies that are on my pc, on my tv. Now I see I must be going about it the wrong way.

'I got a little bit upset by that Register article...' says millionaire model. Bless!
This was the week when millionaire supermodel Lily Cole told the papers how saddened she was by The Register's coverage of her taxpayer-funded wishing well, Impossible.com. El Reg previously revealed that Cole was given £200,000 of public money for the website but hardly anyone was using it, which the socialite didn't take too …
Am I the only one sick of these agencies effectively saying: "we're justified in invading the privacy of ordinary, law-abiding citizens because if we didn't, our job would be hard"?
If you can't perform your surveillance without stomping on the rights of millions of your own citizens then maybe that's a sign that you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. It's the equivalent to saying that you should be able to bomb a public space to kill a terrorist because it's too difficult to target him alone.
Guess what? You don't get that luxury. The goal of all government and all government agencies and arms is to make the life of their citizens better and to protect them and their rights from those who would take them away. In case it's unclear - you are now the ones we need protection from. The real threat from terrorism is tiny. The effects can be tragic, yes, but they do not outweigh the damage done to the entire population in having their every word recorded.
Snooping on foreigners
Something I'm not sure has been explicitly said, but reading between the lines on some of the reports by the NSA & GCHQ:
Countries' spy agencies generally aren't allowed to snoop on their own citizens without a warrant (caveats apply...) but they can snoop on foreigners (there's a technical issue about how you identify the nationality of a communicator, but let's leave that for now).
We know that countries' spy agencies also share intelligence in order to identify and track threats better.
What's there to stop the NSA snooping on Britons, GCHQ snooping on Americans and both of them swapping data willy-nilly, handily bypassing all the supposed legal limits on their powers?
Re: Snooping on foreigners
Did you just wake up from a 13 month coma?
Re: Snooping on foreigners
Countries' spy agencies generally aren't allowed to snoop on their own citizens without a warrant (caveats apply...) but they can snoop on foreigners (there's a technical issue about how you identify the nationality of a communicator, but let's leave that for now).
Actually, when they do this they are breaking the law in that other country, but the US has popularised (or excused) the idea that if it's all fully OK as long as local law says that it's allowed. Which, in reality, it can't as local law has no influence on another jurisdiction (well, OK, other than by the usual US trade agreements blackmail, but that's not law, that's politics).
Re: Snooping on foreigners
It's not that there's nothing "there to stop the NSA snooping on Britons, GCHQ snooping on Americans and both of them swapping data willy-nilly", it's that they have an active agreement to do EXACTLY THAT.
In case you missed it (and it seems you did), the publicly-known name for that tidy little arrangement is 'Five Eyes' and it includes my own morally-bankrupt government (AU) along with that of the USA, UK, Canada and New Zealand.
That is one reason why there is so much outrage and a large part of why every word coming out of the mouths of these fucking serpents is treated with such open distrust by all the right-thinking people in those countries. Even when they are telling the truth about technicalities, they are lying about the REAL questions.
To the people actually subject to these abhorrent breaches of personal liberty, 'spying' isn't limited to just the act of collecting the data. So far as I, and a great number of others, are concerned, if you are reading through my e-mails and texts you are spying on me. I care about who captured the data but I care more about who is READING it.
To take it to a childish level, when I was young, sometimes I would swipe my sister's diary on behalf of my brother (peer pressure and all that), whereupon he would read it. Any 10 year old girl will be able to tell you what our governments seem not to accept - it doesn't matter who took it: if you are reading your little sister's diary, you are spying on her. I can vouch that my mother saw it much the same way as both me and my brother were punished equally.
Actually, the metaphor plays out nicely, what with the 'big brother' and all. I suppose what our governments need is someone to break a wooden spoon across their behinds and stop them seeing their friends. That, or what my sister did, which was to break our GI-Joe figures. (Did you ever have that one who was supposed to have a flame-thrower but instead came with this weird catapult that flung out a lumpy orange ball? No? Okay; just me then. I thought it was odd.)
"...unless we're happy to be wiped out by an Earth-obliterating catastrophe"
What about a Mars-obliterating catastrophe?
Re: What about a Mars-obliterating catastrophe?
I need more info.
Would Lion bars be affected at all?
Re: What about a Mars-obliterating catastrophe?
I think he is working on the basis that an asteroid strike is highly unlikely to wipe out earth AND Mars in one go - it's not billiards!
Of course, a galaxy-wide event would wipe us out in any case but, given that Extinction Level Events have occurred several times in the past it seems a fairly safe bet that we are looking at when, rather than if, we get another. Having a colony on Mars who could then maybe look at recolonising Earth after the ELE seems like a reasonable precaution to me.
Re: What about a Mars-obliterating catastrophe?

Speak for yourself. I, for one, welcome our billiard playing galactic overlords...
Boots on the (red) Ground
It would be nice if we could look on this as the start but we just have to look back 42 years to when space exploration stopped, in favour of scientific investigation only.
Nobody has "boldly gone" in space since the return of the last Apollo mission. There has been a good amount of high quality scientific work since then. Earths orbit has become a busy place but no human being has actually been beyond that since.
We now have private enterprise on the move. It's perhaps 50 years behind but it has managed to get stuff up as far as the geostationary orbit. Lets see how it goes.
Re: Boots on the (red) Ground
Now THAT's a number to conjure with!
"British Islands"
Perhaps I missed the memo, but is there anything significant in his use of British Islands vs the more traditional British Isles?
Re: "British Islands"
... all the more strange since the "British Isles" is a purely geographical term that includes the Republic of Ireland.
Re: "British Islands"
Wikipedia to the rescue : in legislation, British Islands means the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
Well, I'm slightly less ignorant than I was this morning.
In a time of enforced austerity what are we doing giving money to that clothes house instead of using it for essentials like the health service, policing, education (which would be far closer to NESTA's actual purpose) or supporting food banks. It might 'only' have been a few hundred k but that's serious money, especially when the quango administering it probably cost the same amount over again to cut the cheque, they seem to spend a fair percentage of their budget on 'management'.
Seem Miss Cole might want to look at the Racist posts on her impossible site and ask is it appropriate to be asking people to do things for free for racists...
Which are those? I just had a nose about and the nearest I could find was something about removing passports from people going abroad to wage jihad? (personally I'd prefer revoking their breathing rights).
The site itself seems to be utter dross, how it cost 400k? 2 k for the site and 398 k on parties to 'promote' it sounds closer to the mark. Mind you, aren't NESTA the chumps who paid for clowns to go on holiday (I assume not on a clown holy war)
"Such an approach suggests.." "..indiscriminately intercept all communications.."
That's what distinguishes a targeted intelligence gathering operation from a bunch of out of control data fetishists.
I love this
"We have invested less than 0.0001 per cent of our budget in thinking about Facebook Likes."
She got 200 grand and claims to have matched that, so the total budget is about £400K. So therefore they have spent less than 40p thinking about Facebook Likes.
But does that mean they have spent more than 30p? In the public interest I demand to know what they bought for 30-something pence that allowed them to think about Facebook Likes.
Re: Budgeting
What she means is she has unpaid interns spamming Facebook.
What is this article about?
Obviously we should all be very concerned about the £200k of taxpayers' money received by Ms Cole's website, but that is hardly a huge sum compared with the billions wasted by the government on our behalf on ill-considerd, ill-executed schemes for streaming-lining government and buying votes; in fact its probably about the same amount as thieved by the average bankster on a quiet day before lunch.
As to Snowden, people should have no concern about the spying of CGHQ and NSA because the ultimate beneficiary for all their endeavours is the most benign nation on the planet composed of the most morally advanced human beings, in fact according to religious doctrine, the only human being on the planet, namely Israel.
Re: What is this article about?
Could someone please explain the steps used to reach this conclusion?
I'm not sure if I understand how "I spent £200,000, so that I could get another £200,000 from public funds" is supposed to make us feel better about things.
If I was a rich London oligarch, would that give me the right to steal money from everybody else in the... oh, wait. Yes. Apparently, yes it does.
Am I being funny here, but getting to, and sustaining Life on, Mars would be pretty hard and expensive.
So would being able to sustain Life on Earth be a better investment, d'you think?
Let's Get the Party Rolling and AIRocking

Jump in at the Deep Darker Web End, WageSlave, and realise and virtualise Martian Life on Earth as a Prime Beta Investment. It will certainly be able to launder Eastern [Chinese and Japanese and Russian and Thai and Indian Tiger type] paper dollars into programs of value of leading influence with returns which deliver real wealth and prosperity rather than accumulating crippling debt and displaying unedifying intellectual paralysis. There's no point in holding on to, rather than lavishly spend that Monopoly confetti whilst it is still able to generate a perception of worth.
Re: Let's Get the Party Rolling and AIRocking
Great post, amfM, and that's a "killer" combinatorics. Get some more, but not to the grade of any trick. Change "launder" into "target" and, one believes, many EVEnts resulted would change from booming and tiny-effective into tiny but... the outcome, dear friend, the outcome.
Anyway, as children go home when evening comes, the paper would get back to its system originators wherever they were. So what's the loss even if you're one of them?
'I got a little bit upset by that Register article...'
It's a walk-off....
Ok, you've had your fun
Not a fan of the current government, or their financial backing of Ms Cole but you've had your fun. There are more important targets when it comes to government-funded projects.
Your coverage smells more than a little of lazy misogyny. Please direct your (considerable) talents towards covering more worthwhile targets.
Re: Ok, you've had your fun
Mysogeny? Bollocks.
Re: Ok, you've had your fun
misogyny???? How exactly? Please, don't just throw the accusation, really explain it.
Re: Ok, you've had your fun
Because the focus and tone of these stories is "lily the silly woman who squandered tax payers money on a frivolous website". It's a nice narrative, but it's a choice to frame it that way and in framing it that way it detracts from the real focus - the money, which came from Nesta, and that the funding application was not available under the Freedom of Information Act. It's also really sad to see no one giving the chair of Nesta, John Chisholm a harder time - he's ultimately the one responsible for handing out the dosh (if it's *that* which you're actually upset about).
In the story published 25th of March, "YOU gave model Lily Cole £200k for her Impossible.com whimsy-site", I thought the coverage was really good. Headline was a bit cheap, but it redeemed itself in the content and it was a nice bit of investigative journalism.
The tone of this is different and it's thin on content - it's not a story anymore, it's just bullying. No free pass.
I might have kids. I might have a daughter. She might want to become a developer. Be the change you want to see…and such.
Re: Ok, you've had your fun
I think you are showing your own biases tbh. Is it not possible to criticise someone silly for being silly, without being accused of misogyny because the silly person is a woman?
Because the focus and tone of these stories is "lily the silly woman who squandered tax payers money on a frivolous website"
Take the word "woman" out of it, and sure, that is the tone and focus of the previous article - how silly people managed to get silly amounts of public money and do silly things with it. This article is actually about the irony of said silly person moaning about people complaining that their project is silly and a waste of public money. Silly.
Re: Ok, you've had your fun
Hi Tom,
You may be right about my own biases, but I think that's a product of the industry which is male dominated and not particularly female-friendly. It could have been any number of nesta-funded projects which came under scrutiny from El-Reg and I think that the original piece was fair play, if a bit figurehead focussed.
Tone's a difficult thing to pin down, and I know that El Reg is any good purveyor of scrutiny – when it comes to being silly, everyone gets a turn at being given a hard time, and I welcome that. But, the focus of this follow up piece "'I got a little bit upset by that Register article...' says millionaire model. Bless!" was belittling in a /way/ I don't think it would have been if Lily were a man. Tone matters.
And, as you pointed out, the silly project speaks for itself. We didn't have to go there, and in doing so we've buried the underlying story (the politics of funding digital projects). Which is a bit sad.
Re: Ok, you've had your fun
See, you've missed the boat again.
The first story was about how a technological nobody can grab £200k of public money. That is one thing.
This story is about her moaning about being called on it. That is something else.
Both deserve derision.
Self-fulfilling doomsaying
What's the betting that, when an Extinction Level Event strikes Earth, it's launched from Mars?
Can you say "War of Independence"?
Elon Musk, King of Mars
it would be deeply cool if humanity spread out amongst the stars
Would it? Why?
Barring FTL communication, you won't even have any real evidence this has occurred. For all we know, secret government projects already "spread [humanity] out amongst the stars". It's not feasible for any of us to go find out. If you're on Earth, the existence of human life outside the solar system will always1 be a matter of faith, because the communications latency will be so high that any evidence of it would always be suspect.
So all you're saying is that "believing humanity [has] spread out amongst the stars" would be cool. Personally, I don't find it any cooler than any other religion.
And, of course, a Martian colony is merely spreading out a bit further from one star.
Musk reckons that getting out there in a sustainable way is essential to the survival of our species – unless we're happy to be wiped out by an Earth-obliterating catastrophe
Shrug. I'm happy with that scenario. What's my investment supposed to be in "the survival of our species"?
I think Musk just wants to be crowned King of Mars. Good for him. That's a goal I can appreciate, even if I don't share it.
1Again, barring FTL communication. And given the choice I prefer causality, thanks.
"Musk reckons that getting out there in a sustainable way is essential to the survival of our species" At least we know he can quote Carl Sagan.

Americans are acting out an old Western movie
Engrained into our psyche, etched into our culture, forged into our nation's self-image are pictures of the Western movie of an honest Sheriff, handgun on his hip, silver star on his chest, and the law clearly on his side as he mows down the bad guys. The law is enforced and justice is taken care of with bullets. In the American mind no court room is necessary. We know who committed the crime, we know who the good guys are, we know who the bad guys are, and we have a weapon to take care of it all. Our Western hero is lawman, judge, jury, executioner. And the good guy doesn't make any mistakes. This is America.
Iraq: we still don't get it
The very moment I learned the U.S. had invaded Iraq I commented about what a terrible mistake it was. I spoke out against it. I wrote in opposition. And I immediately predicted that it could only result in a civil war between the Shia, Sunnis, Kurds, and perhaps other groups or groupings. I continued my criticism month after month. I wrote my M.A. thesis concerning the Near and Middle East and colonialism. Anyone who had even a rudimentary knowledge of the area knew the tragedy that would result from the U.S. invasion.
Congress agrees: water may not be wet
Blaming President Obama for problems emanating from Washington is a situation in which nobody ever looks in the mirror. Obama is not to blame for the mess in Washington. Yes, he has made mistakes, but he is human. Now I wonder what species members of Congress are?
I was born in Milwaukee. I love Milwaukee. However, after living in different places around the U.S., I have observed something inherent in cities the size of Milwaukee's metro area. It has to do with what I might call an inferiority complex. And it is holding us back.
The scam of U.S. politics
Whether you are a political right-winger or left-winger, honesty does not exist in politics for you or any of us. Yes, I know, that is no surprise. But what is surprising is how easily today's politicians can be bought and sold. And how every little news blip can be used to try and make a major political point from it.
