Firing back at LulzSec
It appears that LulzSec is the latest target of hacking. If this story on Australia's ABC technology Website is accurate, then the hacktivist group has made itself unpopular enough to become itself a target. TeamPoison says it posted a message on the Website of a Dutch LulzSec member; this cannot be confirmed, because the …
Meanwhile, in another part of the schoolyard..
Bored with self-opinionated, self-righteous little twats now.
Glad you reminded me.
How is Mr Assange getting on these days?
Re: Glad you reminded me.
"How is Mr Assange getting on these days?"
Glad you asked. It seems that he and his friends are in a 'tizzy' over the active speed warning cameras/signs in the area. The original video on this site
indicated their presence predated our Julian's arrival. They are all jumping up and down, saying how he's been treated 'like an animal', but I think readers will remember the controversy in which his Swedish legal representative has been called by his professional association to account for failing to respond to police communications, and for failing to tell Jules that he was wanted for questioning. Under this analysis it would seem that Jules is indeed a flight risk, and must be kept under strict bail conditions. His indignation and of his friends is misplaced, especially given the scale of his activities. Anyhow, our Jules should be up in front of the beak on the 12th of Jules. I do hope that he is put in the position where he can bleat about his rights being taken from him, and saying that he could attend over the net. It will make him seem as insightless, twitty and guilty as ever.
What comes around goes around ... Or, if you prefer, if you don't want it don't bring it ... Or, if you prefer, you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
The kids have no idea of the scope of the situation that they are playing with ... Nor do they realize that their future employment is being compromised.
I tried that once
Turns out you catch loads more flies with vinegar.
RE: ::snicker::
There future employment is a high paid job for a IT security firm if previous trends are to be followed!
Very valuable people to companies whose business relies on their work!
Honey and Vinegar may work...
...but if you REALLY want to catch flies, just put enough shit out there and they'll swarm all over it.
Jeez ...
*You* sound like somebody's boring fart dad -- and *I'M* 52.
Takes a more cynical person than I
They hacked SOCA, CIA and many other websites, theirs goes down and it's another hacker group?
Couldn't, wouldn't possibly be any other agency attempting to foment trouble between rival hacker groups could it.....
Using the free, open-source LOIC tool to DDOS a couple of websites does not a "hacking" make.
Part of the problem is people like you repeating drama as facts. How are the media to do any better if supposedly technical folks can't get a few basic technical matters right?
oooh, my bad...
Sooo sorry, yes, bunch of script kiddies.
Still doesn't make the point any less valid though does it...
No honour among thieves?
that is all
Get the kettle on
Time to sit back with a cuppa for round two
"this week's breach of UK census data"
alleged breach.
A very tenuous and non-credible suggestion
of an alleged breach, even.
Still, that doesn't make for very exciting reporting, I guess.
Cyberspace mirrors life
In the Badlands where authority has little control, tribal battles between gangs of bandits lead to the dark side.
Let the War begin ...
The fact that LulzSec is, like Anonymous, unknown, the authorities could be using this as a shield to go after anybody, and nobody would know who was who. I mean, these people could have hacked my site and said that I was a member of the Golem Scroll Society, and ... I mean .. who would be able to determine whether that was the truth?
It is concerning me that all this anonymity is allowing the vandalism and attack of anyone, in the name of ... um ... no one.
It's not unknown
The ringleaders in these hacker groups may be superficially anonymous but all it would take is one of them to get pinched, and to act as an informant on the others for leniency and you could see major members being nabbed. It's no different from infiltrating any other group of terrorists, criminals, mafia, anarchists etc. Get someone on the inside, gather evidence for as long as it takes and then nab the ringleaders.
I'm sure if they did suspect someone they would obtain a court order, wait until the suspect went out, take a snapshots of their harddisks, install keyloggers, a covert microphone / cameras, wiretaps, credit card reports, and all the rest and they'd have plenty of evidence. Hackers may think they're super duper anonymous but all it takes is one screwup or one betrayal of confidence and they're toast. Prisons are filled with hackers who could attest to that.
You just made the list!
The GSS was supposed to be a secret, now look what you've done?! Oh ****, what have I done by admitting they exist?! Is that Agent Mulder at the door?
Are you a member of the Golem Scroll Society? It's OK, we won't tell.
When I were a lad . . .
. .. it was so easy to lay false trails and heap blame elsewhere as a smokescreen. It was the fault of immigrants (flavour of the month by contry or just skin colour) , pikeys, students, commies and even 'The Irish'.
Now we will find the leakiest, most easy accessable comersial sites being got at by 'LulSec' or 'Anonymous'. Be prepared for stories about them joining up to form a UberHacker to scare children with ( and make loads of money selling tin hats).
Laydeez an Gennelmen - we have a new scapegoat - one that is derided as being both a bunch of spotty teenagers and also a potent force to be reckoned with -- at the same time (ffs!)
Roll over Bin Laden - we have your replacement for all the world's ills.
What I was really meaning was authorities going after people that they'd wanted to go after for some time, and simply claim that they were a member of said hacking groups.
A big excuse for big brother, sort of thing.
I know ... I know ... I'm going ... I'm going ...
There's much more to it than that...
Someone has been busy.
Gone already
Hmm, maybe what was on there was true, seeing as it's already gone down... So who was exposed?
And so...
The cyberpunk era is truly with us.
And so...
A true cyberpunk would keep his head down... and do what he does without notice.
Here we go...
"strip away their anonymity in dramatic fashion, including "pictures, addresses, passwords, IPs, phone numbers etc"
Yep and what of the innocents caught in the cross fire of this online gang-war? The security services are already stupid enough to listen to the rubbish spouted by the various media corps when they decide to raid some Granny's house on the pretence she's running some international copyright theft ring, wait until these groups starting posting unconfirmed information.
Next? A bloody good excuse for the world's goverments to push ahead with plans to regulate internet use.
"this week's breach of UK census data"
...what breach?
I thought everyone already confirmed it was a hoax created collectively by you media types and some random posting to pastebin.
If they're all for exposing each other (oo-er) then let them have their little expose-war and then go pick up the lot of them.
Then we lock them all up in a big room and give them all sticks and say 'only one person gets out of here alive....Good Luck'.
Handbags at dawn, luvvies
Not exactly Hells Angels All England Vs the Windsor chapter circa 1984, is it?
Re: Handbags at dawn, luvvies
I thought the HA Windsor chapter thing was sorted out in the late 70s.
Please note..
"The attack comes a day after the arrest of an accused LulzSec member, and accusations that this week's breach of UK census data was by LulzSec, a claim the group denied."
BOTH of these things probably aren't true.
Sometime after the dust has settled...
...I shall enjoy reading the book. (And then watching the movie.)
You can always watch the films "Hackers" or "The Net"...
...until a better movie is made.
Coat ? ...Mine's the one with copies of Miss Congeniality 1 + 2 in the pockets.
The death of LulzSec seems to be greatly exaggerated.
So there's one IRC hoster that got arrested, and one dude in the Netherlands affiliated with the group that got exposed. Two blows against the group, but not exactly devastating.
Meanwhile, both the LulzSec twitter and website accounts seem entirely intact to my jaundiced eye, and they've managed to DDosed two Brazilian government websites in the interim.
So what's exactly happening here?
About time these retards got hacked, they can't say they hadn't had it coming!
first the arrests with much more to come, now they get a taste of their own medicine.
Remember kids, play with fire and you will get burnt, like these children did!
Would you smash a shop window with a brick for no ethical/moral/legal reason? Probably not.
Then why deface a website. Both these actions require the same amount of skill, pick up a brick or pick up the latest 0day script, both were made by a skilled crafts man whom you have not paid.
Hacking is the art of discovering/learning and productively producing something. Window breaking is just damn right idioticy and the act of a rebellious kid.
RE: sigh
I'd have to say they have some valid ethical reasons for some of the hacks.
If slavery was reinstated, I'd probably be outside throwing bricks in government office building Windows.
And the Anon hack of HBGary revealed some nice information about USA government attempting to use social media for propaganda and spying on citizens.
Though I'll gladly admit most of their hacks have been somewhat childish in nature. Hacking the CIA however? I'm all for going after groups that have been immorally (if not illegally) spying on many populations for far too long.

Never miss another 'Elis James' show
Speaking As A Mother: Elis James
Elis James' Speaking as a mother is the fourth solo show from one of Britain's finest emerging talents. Combining story telling, characters and straight stand up with the charming delivery that has made James such a favourite on the British comedy circuit, James' new show will cement him firmly on the list of ones to watch.
Elis James
Cardiff-based stand-up comedian. A versatile comic actor whose character creation 'Rex' is a regular feature on Rhod Gilbert's BBC Radio Wales show, Elis' profile has been boosted with frequent appearances on BBC Radio One Wales, two critically acclaimed Edinburgh solo shows (The Most Cautious Little Boy in Wales – 2009, and Daytripper – 2010) plus numerous appearances on the UK comedy circuit including tour support act for Rhod Gilbert. For Elis's 2009 Edinburgh Fringe offering, The Most Cautious Little Boy In Wales, he was subsequently selected for the Best Of The Edinburgh Fest Australian tour, an honour that has been bestowed in previous years to the likes of Dylan Moran, Ross Noble, Simon Pegg and Ardal O'Hanlon.

I had seen Lee's book, Joshua Dread, around the shop, so I knew about him a little, but this made me pick up the book and check it out. Right from the beginning, I was hooked. I passed the book around to a couple of our librarian fiends and they insisted that we get Lee into Round Rock for some school visits.

As luck would have it, he was going to be down in Texas in November and he was fine piggy backing a few more visits, just so long as we had an awesome event in our shop for him. He is here visiting our schools this week, so now it's our turn to do our part and have an awesome event for him. Grab all of your friends and come out to The Book Spot on Thursday at 6:30 to talk about Joshua Dread and meet Lee Bacon!The Book Spothttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655411911944621579.post-21119694335467519382014-10-27T00:05:00.000-05:002014-10-27T00:05:47.752-05:00Grandfather Gandhi Texas Tour 10/27 @ 6:30p

We're excited to know the author of THAT book that comes out this May... our very own local author, Varian Johnson. His new book, The Great Greene Heist has gotten the twitterverse aflutter with excitement and the promise of a great Middle Grade book.

There is even a Great Greene Heist Challenge that was first issued by author Kate Messner. Now you won't see our name thrown around in a lot of the articles about this Great Greene Challenge, because frankly, although people like to talk about "Indie" bookstores, they still love to see really big chain-like stores, like our friends at BookPeople, and often overlook the truely unique mom and pop style independent bookstores like us, BUT HERE IS WHERE WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

We have the best customers in the world! We have a great audiance for Middle School and Middle Grade books! We can pre-sell and hand-sell a lot of Varian's books. We can spread the word on how WONDERFUL a book The Great Greene Heist is and how easy it is to get a signed copy at The Book Spot. With your help, we can make the Top 10 locations of books sold. Can you help? Will you? You can pre-order a copy of The Great Greene Heist at the shop or if you aren't around Round Rock & Pflugerville, you can order online and we will ship it for just $0.99 cents.

Want to read the story behind The Great Greene Heist?? You can here: The Kelsey Job

Finally, late this summer or early in the fall, we will have a big party to celebrate The Great Greene Heist and our TOP 10 FINISH (will we be #1??). Any spoils we get, we will share at the party. There is some pretty sweet stuff up for grabs! Share a great book, support books with people of color and a wide range of diversity AND support your local book shop!

So the idea of Indies First was born. Our friends at the local chapter of SCBWI reached out to us and asked if we would like to partner with them this year to have some of their members come work the floor at The Book Spot this Nov 30th. We think this is a great idea!

This Saturday a great team of local authors will be putting on comfy shoes and putting their book nerves to the test at the Best Book Store in the Austin area. Stop by and get some great recommendations from our author friends.

10am - Mary Sullivan
11am - Jeanette Larson & Shana Burg
Noon - PJ Hoover
1pm - Shelley Jackson & Jeff Crosby

In addition to recommending great books that they have read and fun things that their friends have published, you might even talk them into signing their books for a great gift idea!

Dwayne Johnson
As the grandson and son of professional wrestlers Peter "High Chief" Fanene Maivia and Rocky Johnson respectively, Dwayne Johnson was destined to spend time on the ropes. But it wasn't his plan A. He instead pursued pigskin dreams at the University of Miami but was sidelined by a back injury. Plan B, wrestling in the WWF, commenced in 1996. As the first third-generation performer in Federation history, he quickly rose in popularity, started a notorious feud with Steve Austin and changed his nickname to The Rock. The People's Champ had 17 championship reigns including being a 10-time world champion. He retired in 2004 when his film career was solidified. (He did return in 2011 to feud with John Cena and claim another belt.) He cameoed on Wyclef Jean's song "It Doesn't Matter," hosted "Saturday Night Live" in 2000, and had broken into film with a small part in 2001's "The Mummy Returns", which was spun-off into a prequel about his character "The Scorpion King." He was a hit with kids in ffilms like "The Game Plan" and "The Tooth Fairy" but brings muscle more often to action films like "The Fast and The Furious" franchise, "G.I. Joe," and "Pain & Gain." He's scheduled to play Hercules and star in "The Fall Guy" film adaptation. He created/hosted a reality show called "The Hero" and his 2000 autobiography debuted at No. 1 on the New York Time Bestseller List. He married his high school love Dany Garcia in 1997, but the couple, who had daughter Simone in 2001, divorced in 2007.

Apply the pulp of a ripe banana on the dry or cracked area of the heel. Leave it on for 10 minutes and rinse it clean. This is a simple dry cracked heels home remedy and it can be used on a daily basis to prevent and treat dry and cracked heels. You can also add half an avocado or the flesh of half a coconut to a blender along with the banana to form a thick and creamy paste. Avocados and coconuts are rich in several essential oils and fat soluble vitamins. This paste will help to provide your skin with the vitamins and oils it requires to stay soft and well moisturized. This paste can be used to treat as well as prevent dry cracked heels.Answered by LIPSIKA, 22 Nov '12 10:04 pm

Street Runner Lyrics - Wale
Street runner!
Im gonna make you feel
Street runner!
Im gonna give my all
(Verse 1)
The nerve of these niggas, they acting like they done already made it
Practice make perfect, so practice'll be my mama's maiden
These niggas lame and uneducated and constipated
What I lay every statement should be the defecation
My denim made by respected Asians, I dress amazing
My shirt so crazy I get away with some Sketchers Shape-Ups
Such a lie for I couldn't get up out these Nike's
Number five Tokyo don't even know the price
Bitch, we balling like we ain't harvesting for tomorrow
We ain't no gangsters, but we gone mob up before we borrow
Gold bottles, flow getting me Aziago
With braggodacio like Randy Macho Man out the toro
I'm a slim jim, it's designated to your lady
Now that Benz friend, I'm sliding in that new Mercedes
Or whatever her name is, she just likes to get famous
And I bet she see the light, know that's Benjamin Franklin
Street runner!
Im gonna make you feel
Im gonna give my all
(Verse 2)
Look, is this what you predicted? Look what you becoming
It's funny privacy limits even though I'm living with comfort
How can you really do it? How can you really love it?
When women who never loved you is showing you so much of it
Real niggas respect me, I ain't switch up my image
Real women respect me, they can tell that I listen
And little niggas is mad that I'm winning
They got opinions, but got no bitches
Won't pop a pistol, pop up a midget
God bless 'em, my cigar fill with all my stressing
Don't own a mirror, but made a million simply reflecting
Tell my respecters on Malcom X, I apply the pressure
Lucaya closed from a line of row, no lying, go check it
And I do this for the coaching
And I'm hoping I can motivate and do it big as Oprah
Word, real nigga shit, you might gon need some help
Hit the scene, guillotine, niggas head off theirselves
Street runner!
Im gonna make you feel
Im gonna give my all

NEW YORK (AP) - Luke Schenn scored the go-ahead goal in the second period, and backup Ray Emery made 31 saves for the Philadelphia Flyers, who rallied to beat the New York Rangers 4-2 on Sunday to even the first-round playoff series.
Schenn put Philadelphia in front after Game 1 goat Jason Akeson tied it 2-2 earlier in the period. That was enough for the Flyers to snap a nine-game losing streak at Madison Square Garden and send the series to Philadelphia tied at 1.
Game 3 is Tuesday night.
Jakub Voracek brought the Flyers within 2-1 in the first after Martin St. Louis and Benoit Pouliot staked New York to the early two-goal lead. Emery did the rest, looking especially sharp in the second and third periods while subbing for injured No. 1 goalie Steve Mason.

FORT WAYNE – For the second time in less than a month, prosecutors asked for, and received, an elevated bond amount in a pending case against an accused gang member.
On Thursday, Adonis D. Robinson, 24, of the 6400 block of Hessen Cassel Road, was formally charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery, battery, criminal recklessness, unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon and criminal gang activity.
In their filing against Robinson, Allen County prosecutors asked that his bond amount be elevated to $250,000 on the attempted murder charge.
The charges stem from a March 30 shooting at Peanuts in which a man Robinson believed was a snitch ended up shot and beaten, taken to the hospital in serious condition.
Also formally charged Thursday was Christopher Javon Sewell, 26, of the 5100 block of Lillie Street. He faces a felony charge of battery, accused of beating Marvin Davis Jr. after Robinson allegedly shot him, as well as a charge of criminal gang activity. Robinson and Sewell were still in custody Thursday night.
Sewell, Robinson and Demanuel Dewayne Tompkins walked into Peanuts, 5731 St. Joe Road, about 2:15 a.m. March 30. All three are confirmed gang members, according to court records.
Security surveillance video showed Sewell and Tompkins confronting Davis while Robinson walked up behind Davis and put a handgun to his head.
As Davis fled the bar, Robinson opened fire, striking Davis in the hand, the foot and the hip. As Davis lay on the floor, bleeding, Sewell and Tompkins began hitting and kicking him, according to court documents.
Throughout the attack, Sewell and Tompkins were heard yelling PAC, the name of a local gang, according to court documents.
Tompkins has not been charged in the assault on Davis.
Court documents tie Robinson's gang activity – in this case showing up at Peanuts with two other gang members, Sewell and Tompkins – to his instability and disdain for authority as a reason for a higher bond.
Robinson also has friends and family in Florida and California, as well as a history of failing to make it to all his court dates, according to court documents.
Robinson has prior felony convictions for carrying a handgun without a license and robbery, according to Allen County court records.
In late March, in an unrelated case, Allen Superior Court Judge John Surbeck set Trameil Jackson's bond at $250,000. Surbeck reversed an earlier order by a magistrate judge to hold Jackson, 24, without bond on a charge of attempted murder. He was still in custody Thursday night.
Police identified Jackson as a known gang member and the younger brother of Traneilous Jackson.
Traneilous Jackson is serving a 60-year prison sentence for his role in a drive-by shooting on an ambulance and a car behind it in September 2012.
Charged in February, Trameil Jackson is accused of shooting DeAndrew Moore and Devonte Jones on Feb. 11 in the area of Decatur Road and Dawnan Drive. The two men were taken to the hospital in fair condition.
When he was arrested Feb. 13, police said Trameil Jackson was armed with a .38-caliber Charter Arms revolver. He has been identified by police as a member of the Fort Wayne street gang M.O.B.

At long last, I weighed in under 220 for the first time in 16 months!

Yes, I really don't always like exercising - and it may be because I just do not like always sweating - but that is something that I've turned into motivation - the last four summers in a row I have been extremely overweight and because of this I can't wear clothes that keep me cool in the summer - AND I hate being so hot all the time!

Hi, I am so sorry that there is so much on your plate right now - I can see why it could bring you down.

March in place for 2 minutes
10 squats(holding weights)
10 shoulder presses
10 lunges
10 side raises(hold weights at your sides, raise arms to shoulder height, lower)
10 bicep curls
10 tricep extensions (hold weights overhead, drop behind your back, raise them
10 leg lifts(sit in chair, raise your legs, lower)
Then get a mat, get down on the floor, and do some crunches for abs - there are a bunch of variations - you probably know them- 10 of each one you know, trying to do around 100 (or work up to it)
Even if you did this three times a week, it would be a start.
I could make up a new program for you every couple of weeks so you wouldn't get bored!

A Bobcat has gone missing from a building site in Crace overnight.
The 2009 Bobcat Skit Steet Loader S100 (similar to the one pictured above) was last seen at 5.30pm yesterday.
The owner returned to the building site at around 6.15am this morning to find the Bobcat missing.
If you saw anything suspicious in the Crace area or a Bobcat matching this description being moved last night, ACT Policing is urging you to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, quoting reference 5603851. Information can be provided anonymously.
Someone's bush block is in for a makeover.
If someone was using a bobcat in a residential area from 6:15am until 5:30pm, it wouldn't surprise me if it was stolen by a neighbour who just wanted some peace and quiet for a few days.
Mmmm, looks like all S100′s. Most likely in Sydney by now. Good luck finding it.

I know a guy in Wollongong discovered his excavator missing on a Monday morning. They activated the GPS tracker to discover it was aboard a ship in international waters heading for China already.

As expected, the so-called auto bailout of 2009 has become a major talking point in the run-up to the 2012 Presidential Election. Somewhat surprisingly, however, both sides of the aisle are taking credit for the success seen by General Motors and Chrysler since the two automakers were pushed through a structured bankruptcy process.
Presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney has said he deserves "a lot of credit" for the resuscitation of the auto industry due to his suggestion of a managed bankruptcy of the two automakers. President Obama, on the other hand, points out that Romney was very vocal in his opposition to the auto bailout, frequently citing the editorial he wrote for the New York Times in 2009 titled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," in which he said the auto industry was "virtually guaranteed" to fail if Obama's bailout proceeded.
Building on previous advertisements highlighting the auto bailout of 2009, the Obama campaign has released two new videos touting the success of the automakers since the dark days of bankruptcy. Scroll down below to watch the videos for yourself.

AP Film Writer
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- When Bette Davis became the first female president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1941, it's believed she was met with such opposition by the predominantly male organization that she resigned after two months.
The motion picture academy has seen only two other women in the top post since then: writer-producer Fay Kanin in 1979 and now film executive Cheryl Boone Isaacs, who has also become the organization's first black president.
Seven months into her new position, Isaacs is still adjusting to the excitement of her appointment and the weight it has within the film community.
"It's different being a minority in a majority space," said Isaacs in her office at the Beverly Hills headquarters of the academy, long known as being predominantly white, male and over 50.
A poster of Oscar Micheaux's 1931 film "The Exile" hangs on the red accent wall across from her desk. The words "Mighty Modern All Talking Epic of Negro Life" are emblazoned across the top of the placard. "My parent's favorite phrase was 'Just get above it' and I must say that I have to put that into practice here," she said. "But it doesn't stop your personal self-doubts."
As the face now representing the 6,100-member academy, Isaacs knows there's a lot riding on her decisions and responses. "I really try to get to the reality of a situation and have a conversation with myself and ask 'Are you being reactive? Are you being defensive?'" said the 64-year-old, who became a member of the academy in 1988 after launching her career as a publicist at Columbia Pictures in 1977.
"There are things you can't do," she added. "You can't get angry because then you are just an angry black woman. As women we do have that and then being a minority, there is this extra layer."
As a teenager growing up in western Massachusetts in the 1960s, Isaacs looked up to her older brother Ashley, who worked as an advertising and publicity executive at United Artists in New York. "He was hip and would come home with 16 mm films and screen them in the dining room," she recalled, citing her brother, who died of cancer in 1994, as fostering her love of film. When Ashley moved to Los Angeles, Isaacs followed.
"I was living in San Francisco working as a stewardess for Pan American and I needed to get serious," recalled the Whittier College graduate. "I knocked on doors and started at Columbia."
In 1984, she became the director of publicity at Paramount Pictures and in 1997 she transitioned to New Line Cinema, becoming the studio's first black president of theatrical marketing.
"The thing I like most is strategy," said Isaacs, who ran the publicity campaigns for "Forrest Gump," ''Braveheart" and "Rush Hour." ''At New Line, I was involved with filmmakers that were diverse and it really gave a nice perspective."
Diversity is at the heart of how she'll make her mark at the academy. "I am active in our member engagement and am seeking diverse talent domestically as well as internationally," said Isaacs, who was recently inducted into the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Hall of Fame. She also plans to boost the academy's mentoring programs, the student academy awards and the scientific and technical council.
"Having Cheryl as president shows that the opportunities are widening," says Cori Murray, Essence magazine's entertainment director. Essence will honor Isaacs with the trailblazer award at the annual Women in Hollywood Luncheon on Feb. 27. "She is an inspiration," added Murray.
Lately, the film world has seen growing diversity within its ranks, from the 2013 appointment of the first black and openly gay president of the Directors Guild, to the many artists of color up for Oscars this season. "When we get a chance to participate we do really well," said Isaacs. "This year is going to show that."
In January, the academy's hardnosed decision to rescind the nomination of "Alone Yet Not Alone" because the composer lobbied fellow voting members via email, set the tone for Isaac's tenure. "It was a difficult situation, but needed," she said. "We must stay vigilant and stand firm with our principles. That matters in voting and in life."
Other key decisions by Isaacs have included steering plans for the $300 million movie museum the academy is scheduled to open in Los Angeles in 2017 and hiring Ellen DeGeneres as the host of the Academy Awards on March 2.

April 7, 2006
Heavy winds and dry weather continue to fuel the fire burning in the Shenandoah National Park and neighbors close by are getting worried.
Folks near the park have been a little on edge since the fire started on Tuesday. Many of them can see the smoke from their backyards. That's why firefighter Lee Wheelberger got out his personal tractor. He's helping people clear the dry brush from their yards which keeps fueling the fire. They're hoping the cleared area will act as a buffer and keep the fire away. John Gibson says the fire is about a mile from his house and it's making him nervous.
"It's just a real hot intense fire, every time a pine tree goes up, just imagine a five gallon can of kerosene, it just [goes] 'poof,'" said John Gibson.
Forest officials say they have about 80 firefighters working on the fire. They're estimating the fire is about 50 percent contained. There is no estimate as to when the fire might be completely put out, but officials say they are doing everything they can to make sure the fire doesn't get close to the nearby homes.
Fire officials are still investigating the fire's cause, but they think it might have started with a lightning strike.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Hiawatha has a growing problem. Because of the leadership in this school they can not keep experienced teachers. In 2001-2002, 62.5% of the teachers at Hiawatha had at least a Master's Degree this has dropped to 51.5% in 2005. For the new 2006-2007 school year 14 new teachers had to be hired. This is not because of high minority or poverty rates (many of the teachers leaving had worked their for over 20 years), this is because the teachers can no longer agree with what the leadership is forcing them to do to students on a daily basis. The school is not doing what is developmentally or emotionally right for children.
Hiawatha is an excellent school! Many children have gone through the school system in Othello, and Hiawatha is really going out there as the number one school for making growth. Kids love the principal, the staff, and are learning daily. Hiawatha is focused on reading and math, which is great! The reading scores are really on the rise and the programs they are using are great! The music program is excellent! Parents are involved in the school, but as a parent, it would always be nice to see more! Go Hiawatha!

The last time fight fans saw Jamie Varner, he was struggling to stay upright while somehow -- amazingly -- continuing to mount desperation offense against James Krause last May. This, despite the fact that Varner suffered a bad brake in his left ankle and several torn ligaments in his left foot.

Report: UK.gov wants to legislate on comms data BEFORE next election
Re: VPNs....
"We'll just have to start using encrypted VPNs, just like they do in other countries with authoritarian regimes"
First, go live in a country with a true authoritarian regime and you'll soon see how lucky the UK is.
Second, do you really think commercial and open source VPNs are not already imperceptible by security services? Actually, no one cares about the security of the data in transit, it's the endpoints that are most relevant. A VPN doesn't hide who you're communicating with.
Re: We are a democracy
"We are a democracy
We have the free right to choose how we are governed!
We can choose between a party that is gong to bring in draconian laws, a party that is gong to bring in draconian laws, or a party that has no hope of getting in but will bring in those draconian laws anyway if they do."
You also have the choice of doing nothing and letting criminals and terrorists destroy the world around you.
Re: Muddled thinking
Um...but we can prevent crime by giving up privacy. If everyone watched everyone else, crime becomes quite difficult unless people collude to cover up in which case all involved are criminals until the ripple reaches someone not willing to be party to the crimes.
Re: Communications data
No need to ban speech. It's not the ability to speak, but what is said that is the problem.
Re: Making it Pay
I would push for legislation that required commercial grade VPNs to share their keys with the authorities. Use of a VPN that didn't conform would be outlawed. Only military and intelligence services should have access to such encrypted communications.
I would think it's also about monitoring patterns of criminal behavior over time as well as gathering evidence for arrests and prosecutions. And of course all the subtle relationships between criminals and terrorists and would be criminals and terroists.
Knee jerk reaction
As always there is the knee jerk reaction. Can anyone propose an alternative means to monitor internet activity of serious criminals and terrorists? If there is a cost, so be it, I don't mind paying my fair share.
What people are really objecting to is someone else knowing about their dirty little online habits. Newsflash, the authorities don't care about your fetishes unless they involve minors.
London Tech Week: All for the luvvies and the joke's on you, taxpayers
Satire, right? People seem to overlook the obvious: outsourcing is probably the greatest form of wealth distribution the world has ever experienced.
Re: hey hum
You're funny. Globalization has pulled millions of people around the world out of poverty - real poverty, not the relative poverty of having access to food banks and a welfare system to fall back on.
You can go on about "manufacturing jobs" all you want but the fact is those jobs are GONE. They will come back when robots can do them at an even cheaper wage. If you don't like capitalism, don't participate, live off the land, leave the grid. Good luck with that.
Re: Tech businesses
Clearly, you don't know tech if you think Google is not a tech company. By the way, Amazon and eBay are also tech companies. Yeah, really.
Re: The next big thing
Ethics? How quaint.
Activist investors try forcing Google to pay more taxes
Re: start paying as much tax as possible
Nothing wrong with that at all. If the law permits it, why not? Oh morals? Ethics? Screw those those, this is business.
EU: Let's cost financial traders $400m a day, because EVIL BANKERS. Right?
Re: Investors != Traders
HFT may happen at market level time scales, but the profits (and losses) from the liquidity have a wider impact for regular mid to long term investors. In other words, HFT liquidity does also generate liquidity that ripples out into the wider markets.
Um, nope. Liquidity benefits more people than just the algo traders and the finance houses. I'm neither but I get to benefit from the liquidity in the markets as a result.
Re: Utter crap
What do we get? Are you kidding or do you truly have no understanding of how the world works? How do you think major global projects are funded? Taxes aren't enough to cover the cost of running a country.
Reduce automated systems? What next, do away with financial instruments and trade services and hand made products?
Sheesh. Some people don't live in reality.
What we get is capitalism; It ain't perfect but it works. It just needs some improvement in regulation. No system is perfect, but capitalism works well for most of the time. If not for capitalism, global poverty would be a much bigger problem today that it was 20 to 40 years go.
Facebook pays $19bn for WhatsApp. Yep. $45 for YOUR phone book
Not disagreeing with your comment, which is valid in itself. However, the telephones are very important piece of the puzzle. The telephone numbers will enable Facebook to connect more people, people who at present may not be using any social network. And those connections can yield other useful info when you factor in details from call logs.
Re: Colour me dumb, but ...
I agree. I don't see what the big fuss is. I also screen calls. I pretty much just ignore or filter out any comms I can't be bothered with. It's no hardship, the tech makes it easy. So okay, Facebook will now be able to join some dots between contacts, but so what?
I think we take privacy too far these days. It's like every tiny bit of personal data needs to be controlled. That's not how the modern world works, people just need to adapt.
Re: they're not the biggest mugs. We are
"Scary"? What's so scary? Serious question. Why do people fear everyone knowing everything about everyone? People can still have privacy at home, behind closed curtains and locked doors. But everywhere else is now open. Welcome to the new world.

Cheap/free WiFi more available than you might think. I think telcos will be keeping an eye on such developments.

The price is "your data and privacy". Don't like it, don't use the tech or develop your own (good luck with that).
Society would vastly improve if all members knew everything about each other. Privacy is an old fashioned notion no longer relevant in modern times. Looking forward to the passing away of the older generations and welcoming the younger generations that will be born into a more open society and will know of privacy only in history books.
Your kids' chances of becoming programmers? ZERO
Re: Angry Much
it's not hard....if you have an aptitude for it and not everyone child does. I've mentored people in their 20s and 30s with no prior programming experience and some people take to it like duck to water while others struggle.
Learning to code is easy. Designing and writing really good code takes experience. Applying programming skills to solve a problem takes further skill and experience.
The problem is we're not even giving our kids a good start at the moment. If anything, we're starting them off down the wrong path to become good programmers all in the name of "inclusiveness" because every child needs to be rewarded "for trying" rather than actually completing a learning task.
You THINK you're watching your LG smart TV - but IT's WATCHING YOU, baby
No big deal
Anything that helps lower future cost of consumer electronics is fine by me. If the resulting targeted advertising means I get more of what I already like to view, great. There could be lots of content I'd like but I'm not aware of. Do you really think advertisers care what we view? Of course not, they are just interested in the trends, to match consumer to producer, regardless of the product.
There are no usernames or passwords involved so no need to worry about encrypting data of real importance. As for embarrassing content being served up, well what do you expect? Don't do embarrassing stuff while connected online.

You thought only Google dodges UK taxes? So do all the Brit firms
Re: Government Has No Reason To Complain
Absolutely. Tax planning to avoid tax is not illegal (evansion is). Tax avoidance is a perfectly normal thing to do, not just for large multi-nationals, but for individuals too. I'm an IT contractor and I see it my duty to myself to minimize my tax hit. I pay as much tax as the rules require me to pay. If you want more tax, vote into power a party that will raise tax rates. Otherwise people should just live with it.

It would be quite easy for China to ban Windows in favor of a homegrown OS, oh wait that's exactly the (long term) path they've started on already... Two can play at this game, USA.
Rotund Mega baron Dotcom offers bounty for breaking his crypto
Re: Mega Hurts
What makes you think it won't be the same. Users will still upload pirated content. The difference is now the secret keys will be passed around only to those who are in the right circles. And without the keys, no one can prove what is being hosted by a user.
Samsung mocks Apple lawsuit in SuperBowl teaser ad
Re: Ask Galaxy owners...
Except that Samsung is a major global component supplier. The LGs, the Asuses, the ZTEs, the Oppos, the HTCs, use Samsung's components. Losing Apple as a component customer is not that big a deal. Apple will just go to another component supplier and that supplier is probably using Samsung's components.
YouTube and Netflix take on AirPlay, DIAL up the big-screen goodness
Almost zero cost to TV manufacturers
This is good news for display manufacturers. They can ask Netflix to pay them small fee to implement support for DIAL. If the leading names (Samsung, LG, etc) don't buy into it, then no reason for the smaller players to buy in and DIAL is dead before it gets started.
Apple loses 'Most Valuable Company' honor to ExxonMobil
So I can buy Apple stock today and in 20 years time get myself an Audi? I can think of several stocks that would allow me to do the same, doesn't have to be Apple.

Re: ExxonMobile?
Even with an oil spill, Exxon could spank Apple longer term. Exxon could weather two oil spills.
Meet قلب, the programming language that uses Arabic script
@AC Do you think the compiled byte code is Arabic too? Dumb ass.
Show some respect, Arabic has given more to computing than most cultures.
China wants eight new Lenovos by 2015
It's a good idea, one western economies should follow
If the ultra paranoid USA won't allow Chinese sons to come and marry their darling NASDAQ daughters, then this is a great way for China to force western economies to give consent to future marriage proposals, if not, hen China and rest of Asia can pretty much set the pace of technological development for the rest of the world and eventually the US and EU will have to play ball or be left out of next generation tech developments. Silicon Valley is not the hotbed of innovation it once was. Cambridge and MIT still do great work but it's he Asian tech giants that are taking new developments from R&D into the market.
Microsoft to stream blue movies
It's called monetizing. It's what businesses do. It's what makes money that pays employee salaries. It's how we get money from people that have nothing better to do with their money than sit around watching TV.
Oh, those crazy Frenchies: Facebook faces family photo tax in France
Re: Stupid, Complex, Over-Theoretic
If a country wants to raise tax revenue it should develop an industry. If organizations are to be taxed for simply holding data, then the government should give individuals tax discounts for the data governments hold about the citizens they govern. Then what next? Do we tax wealthier people more because they have more assets and therefore more data needs to be stored about them? Do we at some point tax by the megabyte or even byte?
France is will end up being cut off from the digital revolution taking place around the globe. Corporations should take a stand against France. France has more to lose than the corporations.
Solution: facebook.org
Facebook.org is a non profit organization that does not store any data (except logon and password) and is funded by charitable donations from wealthy private individuals. Instead it uses open APIs provided by Facebook.com (a US company) to "only show data from Facebook.com".

Ten stars of CES 2013: Who made the biggest splash?
Samsung Youm was the most impressive tech of CES 2013
The possibilities that bendy OLED opens up makes this the coolest and most amazing tech of CES 2013. Samsung are so close to something truly groundbreaking here. If the prototypes are anything to go by, Samsung is not far off from a consumer product. A GS4 with double the battery hours thanks to a thinner screen and larger battery would be most welcome.
Re: Eh?
Project Shield will be DOA. What exactly is the point of it? They should pack all that power into a tablet or smartphone. Most people are happy to carry a smartphone and a tablet, but not a third device.
Bite us, Apple: Samsung hauled in $8.3bn in Q4
Re: "jack of all trades, master of none"
Jack of all trades = diversification, something that usually saves a business from going under when consumers eventually tire of the "master" product because something shinier comes along.
Re: Is it time for Apple...
You seem to be under the impression Samsung does only consumer electronics. Apple does ONLY consumer electronics. Samsung produces things that are even more tangible, like heavy industry machinery and plant. You know, stuff that really keeps the economy moving.
If Xmas needs to be puton plastic then those families should be re-prioritizing Xmas, as in skip it until they can afford to celebrate it.
Panasonic pitches Ultra HD 4K x 2K monster tablet
Who gives a crap anymore about the iPad's 264ppi?
The Nexus 10 has the iPad's low PPI beat by a mile.
Don't shoot the Windows Live Messenger, cry IM users
IM side of Skype sucks
The IM half of Skype is fine if you only use it once or twice a week for short chats. For frequent use it is AWFUL!
MSN/Window Live Messenger is/was great at IM because it started life as an IM client and so IM was the thing it did best. Custom fonts and custom font colors were features that I personally find very useful as it made the chat stream easier to read. The Skype IM chat window is an ugly mess. Microsoft says you can use your Windows Live ID. Yes you can, but it's an extra mouse click away and if you log out the damn Skype client does not remember it.
You'd have thought MS would have enhanced the Skype IM features before forcing people to switch. With the number of people now using Facebook's instant messaging I think fewer people with switch to Skype for IM than were using Live Messenger. I think MS will lose more users this way than it thought it would gain as Skype users.
USB 3.0 speed to DOUBLE in 2013
Drop the names and version numbers
Follow the old CD and DVD idea, go back to using x2, x8, etc measured against USB 1.0. Consumers are used to this and know that the higher the xN number, the better the performance.
Or even simpler and a much better way to explain the benefits to the consumer: USB 5G, USB 10G, etc.
'SHUT THE F**K UP!' The moment Linus Torvalds ruined a dev's year
Re: Err...
"Picking on someone in front of their co-workers, or worse on a public forum, is just bullying.."
Oh really? Then I was bullied to hell and back by all of my school teachers. I agree with all the comments that sometimes you have to call people out in public to get a point across. IT IS NOT BULLYING. Attacks on personality is bullying, attacks on shoddy work is not. If someone f&*ks up, a manager should have to right to point it out, even in front of their peers.
