New Years Day...
The day started well enough with a nice walk along the beach, lunch in a beachside restaurant over looking the harbour... After lunch a few more beers in a couple of different bars and it was late afternoon, Linda and Mandy returned with Tia to Herman for the night as Mark, Cani and I powered on into the evening at the Tapas Bar, Beers, Run&Cokes and Bottles of Wine all being consumed... Even the free Tapas they laid on the top ...
A time in transition
... in Spain after all. But I later realized that some students come here not to study Spanish, but just to experience a different culture. Many students, for example, studied economics or chemical engineering here, and while they maybe knew some spanish, they had more practice with English.
Whenever I met a new friend and told them where I was from, they would always say things like, "Oh Los ...
Traditional Spain
... the coast path in the opposite direction into the town of L'Ametlla de Mar. This was a very traditional spanish town with narrow streets and a few little bars with the 'old boys' sitting outside in the sunshine. The town also has a fishing port which it turns out, has the largest tuna fishing fleet in the whole of Spain. There is also a tuna farm just off the coast which we could see and this organised day trips where you could go out and actually swim with ...
Internet again
... loads of walks, clean hard standing and quite! Onwards on the 8th for a final stop in Spain at L'Ametlla again, no. Hange, cool and satisfactory! Now making tracks for either Le Boulou or Collioure, we shall see as it depends on the rain or no ...
A new view
... you always do and places you frequent, but its definitely fun to be open to adventures.
Ok, I also realize I kind of lied about that first statement. A few weekends ago I went on a bike tour of Barcelona with other Erasmus students on a Saturday afternoon. Barcelona is only a 45 minute train ride from Tarragona, so its definitely an easy day-trip. We road through a beautiful garden, saw La Sagrada Familia from a distance, as ...

Ben Chu: Mutual benefits at Nationwide
Wednesday 31 July 2013
Outlook Nationwide will have longer than Barclays to meet its 3 per cent leverage target. The mutual has to reach the target by 2015. But the management isn't very happy about it. Chief executive, Graham Beale, complained that the leverage ratio set by the regulator at the Bank of England is "crude" and "unsophisticated" because it ignores the fact that Nationwide's balance sheet is full of safe residential mortgages. The trouble with this analysis is that no one really knows in advance of a crisis which assets are safe and which aren't. That's why it's prudent for all lenders to hold decent capital buffers to cover unexpected losses.
And, as it happens, "crude" and "unsophisticated" sounds a pretty good description of Nationwide's remuneration system. In 2012-13 Mr Beale was awarded a pay package of £2.26m – less than Antonio Horta-Osorio at Lloyds (£3.38m) and Ana Botin at Santander (£3.96m), but in the same league as Jenkins at Barclays (£2.6m). And it was well in excess of Stephen Hester's (£1.65m) at the Royal Bank of Scotland. That seems high for the boss of a mutual society.
And bear in mind that since Nationwide does not issue shares, Mr Beale receives his remuneration entirely in cash. So that's money straight out of the lender's profits – money that could have been used to replenish the equity cushion. If Nationwide needed to hit the capital target faster, it could always pay its boss a little less.
The mutual's accounts relate that Mr Beale asked for his bonus to be capped at the same level as 2011-12. But the fact that his remuneration could have gone up in a year in which Nationwide announced higher losses on commercial lending, and also increased its provision for mis-selling payment protection insurance, points to a pay system that's just as deficient as those that exist at the big banks.

In the spirit of the question, I reckon the answer:
"Anyone? No!"
is both strictly true and suitably vague.
> Yet I have often wondered at that peculiar question...
> "Tell me about your Turkish connections."
It's simple enough. All it means is that they already knew who you were, where you had been and that information had triggered a request for a spook to "spook" you at the airport with a seemingly random (ha!) check. They already had your description. They already knew you'd been to some place that shared a border with Iraq. The "stop" wasn't random and the question about Turkey was a pre-planned, gentle reminder for you, that you were on their radar.
Your answer was irrelevant as the message (we know you) had already been delivered. That's all it was about.
> They will be the first to follow the USA in that regard
I would agree, except that the USA has stumbled upon an unusual "safeguard" against this sort of thing. They have constructed a form of government with two "houses". One is generally "ruled" by one faction and the other house is normally ruled by the other. They also have a president who (apart from being able to, allegedly, press a big red button) is essentially a figurehead - who spends most of his (or maybe next time: her) time in office either repaying election promises, or trying to get re-elected - and for 2 years out of every 4 year term, is impotent as it takes more than that time to get a law through both of their houses.
The upshot being that for all their commercial power, military might and media dominance, they stand little chance of actually changing anything within their own political system. Which could be why their companies, military and financial systems have become so powerful.
Whenever I read an article about some new law "down under", I'm left with the lasting impression that their government makes some startlingly bad (for it's citizens and for liberty, in general) decisions for all the wrong reasons - and enacts laws that are some of the most restrictive in the free world.

As for Mac's, I consider them a bit like Herpes: lots of people talk about it but almost nobody has any direct experience of it. And long may it stay like that! <g>
Over 80 million PCs shipped!
No, that's not last year's (2013) total - that's just the last quarter.
Since we know that when they ship 16 million units a year, nobody talks about the demise of the Mac market [ source: macworld.com ], we can safely say that the PC market could shrivel by 95% and it would still be bigger than that.
Strictly speaking, in america, MEN are a minority.

However, regarding race and recruitment. One issue is that a company can only recruit from the applicants it gets. So apart from looking at the diversity of people actually in the company, any properly conducted research should also consider the make-up of the people who apply for the advertised positions (if it's even possible, moral or legal to have that information - if not, you can't really draw many worthwhile conclusions).
If the same proportion of young, white, males in jobs is the same as the proportion who apply for jobs, the disqualification is being applied elsewhere - not in the recruitment or retention policies. Simply put, the whole issue is far to complex to be summarised in a headline, a Powerpoint presentation, or maybe even by the little brains of the H.R. department.
It may be, for example, that many people from diverse backgrounds don't actually want to work for Twitter.
> nag subscribers when their accounts appear to have been used to access pirated material.
This might sound laughably ineffective now. However, laws change. We also have some insidious situations where people are threatened with prosecution for things that weren't illegal in the past. There are now cases where (retrospective) legislation is in place to "recover" taxes from people who legally managed to avoid paying it in the past.
[ref: http://metro.co.uk/2012/02/27/retrospective-law-sets-a-dangerous-path-3822883 ]
What's to stop the same thing happening with this - especially as the government appears to be giving this initiative its blessing?
We know that BIG MEDIA cares little about justice (except the "justice" of getting paid) and it's not inconceivable that all those "nags" you collected in the past and laughed about, could magically, when enough political donations have been made, be turned into retroactive laws that bite you in the nuts.
It wouldn't take much for a public campaign, along the lines of "minimising your tax bill is bad" metamorphosing into "avoiding the right amount of tax is illegal" to change "you really shouldn't be downloading all this stuff" into "Kerrr-ching. Here's a back-dated bill for all that stuff you've stolen P.S. We'll take your house - or the ISP account holder's house - if you don't pay".

it's not whether they have guns, it's whether they are so gung-ho about shooting their fellow citizens, either on the smallest pretext or simply by accident "I thought he was an intruder". That only happens because they are so pathologically scared of every little thing in everyday life that they simply must strap one on just to go for breakfast.
Though it's not the guns that are the problem.
Let's see what's on the box.
The major UK terrestrial channels (BBC1 & 2, ITV and juuuuust about Channel 4) show repeats about half the time. And if you count the "+1" channels, 247 and everything that is shown once on the "prime" channels and then shunted off to Dave, Gold, ITVx, More 4 and all the other filler channels - the vast majority of terrestrial TV (and an even greater proportion of satellite channels) is repeats. For the "majors", these are mostly during "daytime" when few are watching. Otherwise it's a mixture of game shows, reality stuff, sports, things we laughingly call "documentaries" (which generally consist of someone vaguely famous on a "journey" and constantly repeating, everything they've told us in the past 5 minutes), some period drama, quizzes, celeb chat, cooking and soaps.
Would it matter if none of these were contemporary programmes, but just repeats from 10 or 20 or 30 (or 40) years ago?
OK. For the sports and news programmes, it might. But for all the rest: does it matter if the petty criminals we watch arguing with each other, in the weekday early evening slot, are yelling about something we haven't heard before, or are fighting over some minor inconvenience from 1991?
The same could be asked about quiz shows. The answers will still be the same. We'll still be rooting for contestant X, Y or Z merely on the basis that they look like aunt Betty, or are wearing a nice shirt.
We know that most new programmes are crap. Why else would the BBC constantly repeat programmes like Dad's Army? the latest episode to be shown (BBC2 8:30pm last saturday) was from 1970. Forty four years old, and the Beeb still can't find anything for a saturday evening that draws a bigger audience.
So, apart from the small amount of stuff who's value is down to its newness: news, weather and sport, why don't the major channels just quit making new programmes and simply resort to transmitting all their old stuff (sans those hosted by convicts, or other disgraced individuals). They should just admit defeat in the realisation that they can't make decent telly any more and start a 25 year long loop of old broadcasts, In fact, given that anyone under the age of 30-ish would find it new and novel anyway, it would probably be more successful that the current crop of programmes.
> Samsung just make them. They are not co-developed in any way, shape or form.
No, far from it. The chips use Samsung's process. it's a far closer relationship than Apple simply casting about for the cheapest price to make something that is entirely their own, 100% internally produced, design.
Just as the Apple PowerPC chips were based on IBM's I.P and they couldn't have been produced without IBM's partnership.
> how far apart "cool" Apple once was from "legacy" IBM
Not as far as you'd ever think.
Even in those faraway days when Apple computers were "cool", they still depended totally on IBM for their PowerPC processors.
So while Apple likes to present itself to the media as being trendy, innovative and iconic it's important to remember that it always has been and still is today, dependent on other large (if generally out-of-sight) suppliers of parts and services for the success of its business.
Whether that was boring old IBM to provide Apple with processors that it couldn't make itself, or far-eastern sweatshops to do its assembly or even getting into bed with it's arch rival (Samsung) to share in developing iPhone processors.
Crikey! 3 thumbs down. I'm impressed and slightly flattered that Bing managed to muster it's entire user base to support its position.
As far as being forgotten goes, maybe someone filed a request on behalf of the Bing executives for their whole search engine to be forgotten. They certainly got their wish.
Just about the only feature of Latin I can remember is that almost always, the verb comes at the end of the sentence.
If the sentence, like Yoda-speak, becomes? Well: too bad, that is.
> The trio argue that password reuse on low risk websites is necessary in order for users to be able to remember unique and high entropy codes chosen for important sites
I've been doing this for years something over 30 years, if you take bulletin boards into account as well as internet accounts.
Take a normal website or forum. Maybe one that you post the occasional message, plea for help or stooopid comment about the current government. It requires a password in order to register. It contains none of your personal information since nobody ever uses their real names, gives a birth date of 01-01-66 (or whatever else is easiest to type) and Afghanistan (it's the first one on the list) as their "home" country. So on that basis, there's nothing there to compromise and nothing there that you value. Plus, if you have been using the internet for any length of time, you will have used a disposable email address to receive the one, single confirmation message that the site sends you.
So for the everyday websites, where registration is merely a chore, using the same password is both sensible and convenient.
It also separates those sites from the high-value, important accounts like El Reg your bank, PayPal or Amazon account. Here, where accurate information is necessary (you don't want all your Amazon purchases to end up in Afghanistan), it makes sense to use a more rigorous password regime. It also makes sense to use completely different email addresses, so that SPAM sent to your "ordinary" accounts can't be mistaken for administrative emails from someone who holds your real persona data,
So yes, stick with one password for the mundane stuff. Use it everywhere for decades. Even if it gets stolen, it won't unlock anything you value - provided you use different passwords and email accounts for them.
But also, have multiple email addresses. Preferably your own domain. Just as you separate high-value passwords from zero-values ones, do the same with emails and keep all the ones you don't care about on Spamgourmet or another disposable service. Not only does it make changing ISP so much easier if all your contacts aren't bound to their email system, but it also means there's no chance of "cross-polluting" your friends contacts with SPAM from a zero-value website that has sold your email address to a hacker.
> We will always need to wear protective suits
Or "skin" as future us's might get to call it.
> "I think in the next 20 years we will find out we are not alone in the universe,"
So is that the same "20 years" time period by which we'll have commercial nuclear fusion?
Or is it like the "two weeks" forecast for when we'll have that software ready. I.e. soon enough to keep the hope alive and keep the boss off our backs, but far enough away that by the time the forecast / deadline arrives, there will be a new and credible reason why it'll take just another couple of weeks
As for:
> "Just imagine the moment, when we find potential signatures of life," concurred Matt Mountain, a top space telescope boffin
I think what he means is "Just imagine all the new research grants we'll get to confirm or refute the existence of extraterrestrial life (depending on which religion / industrialist is paying for it). Just imagine all the publicity we'll be able to generate and all the talk shows we'll be invited onto. I might just have to change my name to Majikthise".
> We raced down to the pub and had a lightbulb moment."
'cos I want a pint of this "Lightbulb"
> file sharing arrivals shortly before the theatrical opening have a modest positive effect on box office revenue
So the implication is that studios should be paying the filesharers for the benefit they confer?
I think this is one example of why people take the piss out of economists and their prognostications.
If you only look at the dates and numbers, without applying a small dose of common sense, you could arrive at this conclusion.
Just because the studio's value blips upwards when successful films start to get downloaded is really just an indication that whatever is driving the price, also drives the download activity. Presumably both effects are driven by the pre-release "buzz" generated for the film: both from reviewers and the trailers. All this tells us is that the filesharers have access to pretty much all the new releases, whenever they please - and choose to put them on torrents when the film looks like being a success.

> rush an emergency ... Bill through Parliament just seven days before MPs break for summer recess
Every support person's nightmare:
It's 10 to 5, Friday afternoon. You've filled in your timesheet and your expenses. You've closed the trouble-ticket system and then ... the phone rings.
"Hello, this is Fred from <your biggest customer> Inc. I wonder if you can help me. I've been trying to get this upgrade to work all week as we have to go live on Monday morning. I know I've left it a bit late but could you help me as I really need it working by Monday?"
As so it goes with legislation: if you're going to enact new laws, then give yourself time to work out all the bugs in it before you bugger off on holiday until October. And if this "emergency patch" is needed because your last attempt was found to be unlawful, all the more reason to make sure someone is there to fix your cock-up if this version suffers the same shortcomings.
But do they learn? Do they hell!
And regarding the five-o'clock call? The answer is the usual: "Sure, why don't you email me all the details, logs and config files and I'll see what I can do <click>" followed by the sound of running in the corridors.
> As an example of this, it is an offence in France to insult a public official
Having something illegal in one part of the world and legal in another is just one, small, part of the issue. The other is enforcement.
Without enforcement, laws mean nothing - as anyone who's accidentally stuck an upside-down stamp on a letter¹ will be relieved to know. Likewise, if a resident of one sovereign nation commits an offence in another country, if makes little difference unless the "victim" country presses for extradition and the "home" country grants it. Sadly for us, the UK seems to regard shipping individuals off to be tried in other places, sometimes on the flimsiest of pretexts and with scant evidence of a case to answer, to be a means of saving money by outsourcing law enforcement, rather than a duty of protecting it's own citizens' rights.
So, apart from the question of "is it legal", there should be a bigger question of "will anyone care enough to do anything about it?"
Further, we are all told that ignorance of the law is no defence. However, it would appear that we are now all personally responsible for knowing all the laws in every country (and in every language, too) else we could find that an innocent typo means something completely blasphemous (to take an example) in some place we've never heard of - and we're about to become the new "friend" of an inmate in a jail on a distant continent.
It does seem to me that this state of affairs is neither practical nor just. Law-abiding people who innocently transgress some foreign diktat via their internet activity should not become criminals, simply because some faraway place objects something they have published. Conversely, there are some behaviours that are quite legal elsewhere, that we - or others - would find objectionable.
What is the answer? Well, short of every country burying their differences and coming up with a common legal framework, judiciary and scale of punishments, I can see none. With the possible exception of making the whole enforcement issue moot by ensuring that your internet activity cannot be traced back to you - though that in itself is probably illegal somewhere.

> Pretend that the hard problem has been solved
> There's a subtle but significant difference ...
I agree. However, the key is to not think of this as any one form of input supplanting all others.
The whole "secret" is to provide an interface than can utillise many forms of input, depending on what is suitable, optimum or even physically possible (given the range of physical limitations that people can have).
I also agree about emails - and also about forum posts. However ISTM there are many flame-wars that start or get out of control because purely textual content doesn't convey intonation, jocularity, seriousness or any other emotions. So it's left up to the reader to guess, ascribe or project the emotional content of written content - depending on the mood they are in - or what medication they are (or should be) taking. On the opposite side, I wonder how much "confusion" has occurred from people typing "not" when they mean "now" and vice-versa?
Other forms of interface could also empower automatic translation: thus enlarging the sphere of communications and (as Douglas Adams pointed out) vastly increasing the scope for confusion and misinterpretation to global proportions.
We also need to remember, that most of the working practices that we have now, are the result of the limitations of the tools we have available. A greater number of forms of interaction would also expand the form and content of the material we produce with it. I think that's why so many comments here are so scornful of voice as the only alternative: they have not considered that practices, content and form will evolve and adapt as more possible ways of interacting become available. Throat or ear microphones (which have been around for decades) and maybe sub-auditory sensing methods being the obvious response to all the nay-sayers.
What we need to do is look over the parapet and use our imaginations. Instead of saying "such-n-such will never work because ... (of limitations that only exist in the present, or in our minds) " and look for ways to improve things and THEN to look for ways to implement them. Rather than for people to always stick with what they are familiar with and rejecting all new possibilities, simply because they don't like change.
The one thing we know about IT is that change DOES happen - except in the world of UIs, where we still seem to be stuck with 19th century manual input formats and 1970's style GUIs and mice. And it seems to be the GUIs that account for all the criticism that W8 has attracted. You'd hope that soeone, somewhere would be trying to break away from all that.

It's a case of horses for courses and market forces. Many here seem to think I'm advocating voice activated input as the only option. The point is to choose the appropriate solution for the situation: not to fixate on one, that would not be suitable for some environments.
However, at the risk of repeating myself, the main issue is to have the computing device fulfill our requests - not us having to tell it how to do things. It should work that out for itself: so we'd give it the problem to solve (what we want) and it would come up with the solution (how to do it).
And assuming we've learned nothing in the 20 years since Windows 3.1 and Bob and that the amount of computing power, interfaces and sensors: Kinect, Siri, etc. available to implement something like this today would not allow far better choices and options, is simply wrong.
Mice, touch, start menus ... how traditional ... how old-fashioned .... how computer-centric.
And by computer centric, I mean just that: having the computer: be it a PC (a "proper" computer) a phone or a tablet, at the fore of the operations.
Instead, how about putting the person or the user in the spotlight? So instead of us having to press the buttons and direct the machine to perform what we want it to, shouldn't IT be asking US what WE want. So instead of having a menu or GUI that says: these are your options: pick one, the interface asks one simple question:
What do you want to do?
So the user can write, speak or draw their request: I want to write a letter, I want to watch a film, I want to continue reading my book, I want a command line, I want to search the internet, I want to know what this (holds summat up to the camera) thing is for ...
After that, it goes away and works out how to fulfill our requests. Obviously if it is unable to do so, it should respond in a calm, cool and not-quite-remote voice to the effect "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that" Though I suppose we'd all have to change our names (or at least our accounts) to make this happen. A small price.
In my little cul-de-sac pretty much every other house has one or more cats. You can't really blame the owners, they are mostly "empty nest-ers" and have fallen into the trap of thinking that their cats are a way to be loved (how wrong they are: all the cats care about is being fed. They'll "love" whoever has the biggest tin of Kit-e-Cat).
Fortunately this is the moggy's downfall.
All it is necessary to do is patch up all the gaps in the fences and install a 6 foot garden gate on the only entrance. All the local felines are so fat and lazy that not a single one of them has the ability to scale any of the fences. One did manage to waddle along an overhanging branch and flop onto the lawn, but that path was soon closed off too.
When you look for more info on this, there's nothing.
There are some websites that show two different 3D images of what it might (or might not) look like. There seems to be a press release which forms the source for all the media "buzz" - and that's your lot.
Apart from the obvious question: why wouldn't users simply take it off? It's difficult to see how you'd program this gizmo about what constitutes "punishable" activity. And where the battery is supposed to go. If this is merely meant to modify the behaviour of computer users - and assumes that wearers only have access to a single computer, but no tablet, or smartphone then it would be much simpler to either have the 'pooter switch itself off when the aberrant behaviour is detected, or to build the user-shocker into a mouse and electrify the buttons.
Plus: every stick needs a carrot.

But you seem to be forgetting the golden rule: whoever has the gold makes the rules.
Governments only exist to raise revenue -- and then spend it¹. Therefore it's easy to see that they, above all others, have a vested (literally) interest in supporting the value of the currency they, and therefore by association: we, use for those transactions.
You may be suspicious of them, but where money is concerned they are extremely motivated to retain the confidence of the international markets and thus the value of the currency. So if nothing else can, that at least will keep them on the financial straight and narrow.
[1] There's also a small matter of creating laws. But that's largely irrelevant to this conversation - and anyway, we pretty much have all the laws we need. We just need to implement them better.
The basic problem that I have with BTC, and the reason I won't touch it (yet?) is its sheer volatility.
While it *may* be possible (leaving aside the desirability of doing so) to buy a lot of life's basics with BTC it is a small currency: there are only about 13 million of the suckers in existence and there'll never be more than 20-odd million. Even at their current value, Bill Gates could buy all of them and barely notice, if he so chose.
They are also subject to scare stories as one major government, or exchange, or hacking group -- or whoever makes statements for or against the security, status, value or validity of the stuff. You can't base your long-term wealth on an asset who's value can drop like a rock from one year to the next.
So while it's a nice toy for people to demonstrate to the world (or their friends) how hip, trendy and down wiv' da kidz (although it's only mothers of teenagers who would say something like that) they are, it's not something I'd be willing to bet my house, my salary and my pension on. So until BTC acquires both the status and scale -- measured to the nearest TRILLION € or £, I'll stick with something that I hope will see me into my dotage.
In psychological research how is informed consent even possible?
Leaving aside the basic problem that research is meant to discover new effects, psychology is a wholly imprecise science subject and the average person's understanding of it is pretty much zero. As a consequence a researcher is not qualified to either list all the possible effects (on the test subject), nor to quantify the risks of taking part - or any possible benefits, either. Nor is a lab-specimen, sorry: test subject in a position to assess whether the value they get from the experiment is worth whatever might, or might not, happen to them: either as a result or just naturally, from life.
Without that basic level of information, any consent is worth no more than "we'd like to do something to you. It probably won't (physically) hurt, but apart from that we can't make any promises". Which is probably little different from the level of personal protection that FB commits to in the Ts & Cs that nobody ever bothers to read, before they accept.
> the "strongest material" broadcast well after the kids are tucked up in bed.
... and watching avidly on the tellies in their room.
Seriously, the watershed does nothing to "protect" children (most of whom have the most open-minded, flexible and resilient attitudes until they get "educated"). At best, it allows their over-protective parents to kid themselves into thinking they are being "good" parents. Mainly to brag about it with other "good" parents at the school gates - in a python-esque we were so poor ,,, sketch way, except now it's about intolerance. It's certainly not for the long-term benefits of their charges, themselves.
As for being offended by programmes content. Isn't that the sole reason so many people watch? To pretend to be shocked by the sorts of language, undress (and activities) you'd see every day if you walked through a town on the way to the beach.
You get the sneaking feeling that some people lead such dull and disconnected lives, that they don't feel alive unless there's been something "stimulating" on the box, for them to get worked up and subsequently complain about.

ISTM this is merely sloppy use of wildcard expansion. I have always assumed that these are easily prevented by changing the "*" argument (and root users who put that in scripts should be shot - slowly) to "./*" or $EXPLICIT_PATH/ ... which changes what is expanded by the shell from being arguments starting with a dash, into pathnames, all starting with ./<something>
P.S. If you really *were* trying to write a trapdoor into a system, surely you'd use "invisible" files with names containing backspaces or octal \000 characters?
> In what way? [ was the development of the transistor disruptive ]
Before transistors: all electronics was bulky, fragile (even metal-enveloped valves), consumed a lot of power, gave off a lot of heat, required high voltages, was expensive to build and assemble.
After transistors: electronics became miniaturised, portable, low power, low voltage, highly reliable, extremely densely packed (which allowed much higher operating frequencies). It also drove all the other miniaturising processes (such as MEMS sensors) and nano-technology that we are _starting_ to exploit, now.
These changes moved "electronics" from being one or two large brown boxes in a household and nowhere to be seen in an office, factory or shop to being everywhere and facilitating every single thing we do, being involved in the manufacture of every single thing we touch and becoming ubiquitous in the daily lives of almost every person on the planet. Even the 2Bn people who have no mains electricity rely on mobile phones to improve their lives.
> Interestingly, although these are innovative, they are not disruptive.
I would suggest that the transistor was the single most disruptive technology of the 20th century. Above nuclear power/weapons, antibiotics, air travel or even fiat money
The degree to which it opened up new possibilities and changed our way of thinking was unsurpassed.
The biggest barrier that disruptive technologies have to face today (it was different in the past: even up to 20 years ago), is litigation.
There are a lot - the vast majority - of companies that make stuff and profit from what is here, now, today. They value the ability to make this stuff so much that they've managed to persuade the legislature of the whole dam' world to grant them patent protection of every stoooopid little idea, component, design flourish, technological variant and process they could possibly push through - and the bar is set pretty low.
As a consequence, any new improvements on existing products that small companies are foolish enough to try and promote will get stomped into the ground by queues of lawyers focused on protecting the vested interests of their behemoth paymasters. Irrespective of what benefits these innovative ideas and products might bring.
That means it's getting harder and harder - and taking longer and longer - to "disrupt" an existing incumbent. The only areas open for innovation aren't to disrupt existing, originality-squashing, products but to branch out into new areas. Areas that have no stultifying pre-existing IP and where it will take the legal smother-pillow 20 years to catch up and kill off your novel ideas. But by then, you'll be the industry dinosaur: desperately fending off all these new, warm-blooded, innovators and trying to kill them off, in the same way others attempted to do-for you a generation ago.
All very lovely, scientific-sounding and possibly even correct.
However, it all falls by the wayside when faced with the modern fashion of compressing the dynamic range of the music source material to increase its "loudness" to make it stand out from the crowd (or now: blend is and not get left behind) when broadcast or streamed to the user.
So given that fundamental quality limitation, not to mention all the background noise in out lives, the quest for "perfection" whether in loudspeakers, amplifiers or dragging a piece of crystal across some plastic is largely futile.
As it is, for most audiophiles that I have met, the goal is not perfect audio quality. The real goal is to impress their other audiophile friends with the size and cost of their stack.

> to see if their emotions could be manipulated based on which posts they were served
So if these people find that explicitly manipulating the emotions of web users is illegal, that's pretty much the end of the whole thing.
Every advertisement intends to manipulate readers' emotions (greed, lust, fear, more greed, confusion, avarice, envy and some more greed). Every troll post tries to do something very similar (e.g. Apple products are overpriced and only bought by people who value style over substance) such as instill anger, laughter (at those who get angry), confusion or happiness - as Madame de Gaulle once mispronounced.
Get rid of all instances of this and we're back in the days of Gopher and newsgroups.
Yes, I remember that, too - not your girlfriend, the catalogue. Didn't it have a picture of Concorde on the front cover?
I also remember being able to send in an order on the Thursday in one of their post-paid first-class envelopes that were included in every order and getting the swag delivered on Saturday morning.
The private equity people walked into the room - at which point all the Maplin staff execs scarpered out of sight. When they did reappear, they were unable to answer the most basic questions about the business, merely reading out what was written about it in the catalogue. They also refused, point blank, to make eye contact.
When the P/E execs made their offer to buy the outfit, they got the response "sorry, we don't have one in stock at the moment, but if you come back next week, we'll order one for you - but in the mean time, would you like a radio-controlled toy with lots of flashing lights".
Luckily, the P/E guys were too savvy to fall for the Maplin teams offer of buying an extended warranty with the company (no, you don't get your money back if the company turns out to be broken), but they did buy an extra set of batteries for a bargain £5 million.
The problem with "rural affairs" coverage is that there's little or no scope to show these parts of the country as bastions of multi-cultural, liberal-arts, vegetarian individuals. And in that case, the BBC neither knows how to address them without the MC-LA types being horrified: both at the though that they don't have tube-trains "out there" and that their milk comes from cows - not Tesco (and that cutesy ickle bunny-wunnies are shot, skinned and eaten - by people) - and nor does it know how to present their concerns, interests and issues without their city-dwelling cousins ending up cowering in the corner, behind the sofa (so what does happen to all the "boy" calves, who are no use to a dairy farmer?).
Not to mention the ever present possibility that behind the back of an O/B presenter, we might be treated to the sight of some pigs "makin' bacon".
So, given that the BBC likes it's audiences to sit neatly in nice little compartments, that are easily catalogued with non-controversial and "balanced" mixes of people one can see why people who either choose to eschew cities, or have escaped from them, might not fit into their comfy view of their audience.
Though it would be amusing to see how a reporter deals with being on the wrong end of a shotgun barrel in a "get off my land" situation.
> ... could breach Britain's Data Protection law
yes, and my house "may" be at risk ....
Don't give me wishy-washy possibilities: anything might do anything. Tell me what will or does happen - or stop wasting people's time.
The point of a government watchdog is not to wring its hands and say "well ... it might (or might not)" Hell, I could train a frog to jump onto "might" or "might not" lily leaves and it would have the same value as a statement of the legal position. If these guys don't know what's going on then we have to ask: what's the point of them? If it will need some case law to decide, then surely these people should keep their gobs shut until such clarity has been obtained.
File under: publicly financed waste of space.
I'm told that the victorians used to go to the railway station to buy their newspapers. Quite reasonable when you consider that they (as well the mail) were delivered by train.
Considering that so few working people are at home during the only time that couriers seem able to organise deliveries, if this threatens to take away a significant portion of their business and makes them buck up their ideas, it can only be a good thing.
Though it does give rise for a whole new set of excuses as to why your package has been delayed. How long until Amazon has to start apologizing for leaves on the line?
> Simply put, code is a tool that lets you write your story with technology.
That sound you can hear is my head ... thump ... thump ... thump ... banging against my desk.
That might be putting "coding" simply, but it's so far from reality that it doesn't even count as being wrong.
Simply put, coding is writing instructions. Not what you want a machine to do, but what you're telling it to do - whether that's right or wrong. (Hint: mostly wrong). It requires very precise language and a very clear analysis of what you want to achieve.
To present it as some sort of nice, warm, fuzzy "story" will only attract people who will later feel both alienated by the reality and that they have been misled by the campaign. We, those of us who have done "coding" (really: the smallest part of the job) should set the story right. The only way to succeed as a "coder" is to have a firm technical grasp of what the end result should look like and to be very aware that, unlike other creative pursuits (and coding is a creative act), your tools have zero tolerance for interpretation and doubt. Hence a basic requirement is an eye for detail, not broad brush-strokes and arm waving.
Garbage in, Garbage out.

Explosive device removed safely from Uniontown back porch
Several residences were evacuated and a nursing home was placed on lockdown on Sunday while a bomb squad removed an explosive object from a back porch in Fayette County, according to a Uniontown police officer.
A man whom police did not identify called 911 at 3:45 p.m. when he discovered the object on his back porch at 24 Pershing Court, Uniontown police Capt. David Rutter said.
Officers who responded immediately backed away from the object, and the four-unit apartment building was evacuated, Rutter said.
The device appeared to have been a "commercial grade firework" that failed to detonate, Rutter said.
"It appears as if someone tried to set it off," Rutter said.
The apartment building is near the Pershing Court public housing complex, but it is privately owned. Rutter said police are trying to determine whether the incident with the unexploded firework is connected to an explosion last week involving a similar large firework. Rutter said the earlier incident occurred in the housing complex and caused property damage, but no one was injured.
"We're looking to see if there is any connection with any previous incidents," Rutter said. "In Pershing Court, there was another incident where a large firework was set off."
Residents from nine homes were evacuated after the object was discovered on Sunday, and a nursing home, Laurel Ridge Nursing Center, was put on lockdown, Rutter said. In addition, a parking lot was evacuated.
Members of the Allegheny County Bomb Squad removed the object and will likely destroy it, Rutter said.
State police, constables and firefighters were among the agencies who assisted with the evacuations, Rutter said. Police cleared the scene by 7 p.m,

Lois Lerner, former director of the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division at the Internal Revenue Service, is re-sworn-in for a continuation of...
Scandal: The IRS canceled a contract with an email storage contractor weeks after Lois Lerner reported lost personal files and before other IRS officials had their hard drives crash as Tea Party-targeting investigations began.
Timing is everything, the saying goes, and sometimes the timing of events is also very curious, as in the case of the lost emails of Lerner and at least six other officials at the very same time the IRS canceled its contract to back up and preserve those emails as required by federal law.
Lerner's computer supposedly crashed in June 2011, an alleged event the IRS concealed from the American public and congressional investigators for two years.
This event, which cannot be verified because her hard drive has since been destroyed and recycled, occurred just 10 days after House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Dave Camp first wrote a letter asking if the IRS was engaging in targeting of nonprofit groups.
This shouldn't have been a problem because, as the Daily Caller reports, the IRS had a contract beginning in 2005 with Sonasoft, an email-archiving company based in San Jose, Calif.
The company advertises that it provides "Email Archiving Done Right" and "Point-Click Recovery" and in a 2009 tweet boasted: "The IRS uses Sonasoft to back up their servers, why wouldn't you choose them to protect your servers?"
Perhaps this is what IRS Commissioner John Koskinen was referring to when in March testimony before the House Oversight Committee he assured Rep. Jason Chaffetz that the reason requested emails were difficult to provide was that IRS emails "get taken off and stored in servers."
Later we would be told that the emails were lost forever and, as we noted, Koskinen was lying in March, when he said they were somewhere, or in June, when he said they were nowhere to be found. Let us ponder another possibility: that the emails were taken off and stored in Sonasoft servers, emails that would be deleted when the IRS contract for their storage ended. They were not lost, but, in effect, deliberately destroyed.
As John Hinderaker points out on his Powerline blog, it makes sense that Sonasoft might have deleted records it was no longer obligated to keep and that indeed it may have felt it was required to do so.
It also makes sense that the IRS knew and wanted that to happen. That Sonasoft was storing emails from the IRS Tea Party-targeting periods may have been the reason that Lerner mentioned only the loss of "personal files" and not any emails.
Sonasoft's fiscal 2011 contract with the IRS ended Aug. 31, 2011. Eight days later, and about a month after Lerner's computer allegedly crashed, the IRS officially severed its relationship with Sonasoft.
Three months later, IRS official Nikole Flax, who visited the White House more than 30 times, had her computer crash with a similar loss of critical emails, something that afflicted at least half-a-dozen IRS officials in a chain of events that defies logic and the smell test.
Hinderaker has a suggestion that also makes sense: "It wouldn't hurt for a House committee to lay a subpoena on Sonasoft to learn more about the IRS' dealings with that company and make certain that it doesn't still have any IRS records."
As we have suggested, it would also make sense to subpoena the emails received by anyone on Lerner's contact list. The recipients would have copies of the emails they received from Lerner, incriminating emails whose destruction would be obstruction of justice to cover up a criminal conspiracy.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish to Play Basketball in Big East in 2013-14 Season
Back in September, Notre Dame announced that they'd be joining the ACC - in every sport besides football of course – once they were eligible to leave the Big East. And while it seems that the Catholic Seven are trying to break free from their current conference in time for next season, Notre Dame has confirmed that they'll remain in the Big East.
On Thursday, Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick announced that he believes it's to not only his school's benefit, but the Catholic Seven as well for all of the current teams in the conference to remain seated for one final season. Swarbrick also believes that despite trying to exit the Big East immediately, the Catholic Seven will be on their schedule and in their conference for the 2013-14 season.
"I think it's in the interest of everybody to figure out a way to get it done sooner rather than later," said Swarbrick about the dismantling of the Big East. "It's not good for the conference. You get all this talk about when people are leaving instead of who's in your conference."
Although Notre Dame, just like everyone else, is looking for as quick of an exit as they can get out of the Big East, he would like to move ahead with scheduling next season as soon as possible as it seems all teams will be back.
Not only does Swarbrick think one more season of Big East basketball is in the cards, but Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey agrees.
"I feel strongly that the Catholic schools are going to be there with us. That's one of the reasons we decided to sit tight,"said Brey, who's been in South Bend since 2000. "It looked like the Catholic schools were not going to be able to formulate this league that they're going to put together by next season. Now I think anything could happen. Could they put it together in the next six weeks? I mean nothing would shock me."
The Catholic Seven still need to find other teams to join whatever conference they're looking to realign to, and with just a couple of months left in the 2012-13 season, the odds of that happening seem unlikely at this point in time.
So maybe all of the hype about this being the last season of Big East basketball has been unwarranted. Either way, enjoy it while you've got it!

Rogers Towers partners with lobbying juggernaut The Fiorentino Group
- Michael Clinton
- Guest Correspondent- Jacksonville Business Journal
- Email | Google+
Two of Jacksonville's most-respected firms have formed a "strategic alliance."
Rogers Towers PA and The Fiorentino Group announced the partnership Tuesday, which will give them access to each other's services.
"This collaboration is a unique opportunity to provide clients of both firms with even greater access to a broad range of services and to provide comprehensive, highly-responsive representation," said Fred Franklin, managing partner of Rogers Towers, in a news release. "The two firms combined knowledge of the legal system and experience advocating before all branches of state and local government create an ability to effectively and efficiently represent client interests in an integrated fashion."
Rogers Towers, founded in 1905, has about 80 area attorneys in the area and ranked No. 1 on the Business Journal's Law Firms list. See the top 10 of the list here.
The Fiorentino Group, founded in 2002, is headed by Marty Fiorentino.
"We are excited to be working closely with Rogers Towers, a firm known not only for its in-depth legal expertise and capabilities, but also for its culture of developing strong client relationships and dedication to exceeding client's expectations," Fiorentino said in the release.
"It's the right firm and the right time for this alliance as we continue our efforts to meet the ever expanding needs of our clients," Fiorentino said.
Michael, formerly our digital producer, now works for our parent company American City Business Journals.

In his latest World Books podcast, Bill Marx — who runs PRI's The World's very impressive World Books website — talks with translator Ellen Elias-Bursac, the translator of Dubravka Ugresic's Nobody's Home and several books by David Albahari, including the brillian Gotz and Meyer for which she won the 2006 American Literary Translators Association award.

Ok..so then if u do it without it,would it make it harder to play the game or something?

Accepted Answer
thenerdfrom1996 answered:
Yes, you're going to need the Wii Motion Plus to use in a game that COMPLETELY RELIES on the Wii Motion Plus (which they usually do.) If it doesn't, you'll be fine without it. In that case, the Motion Plus will just make it more realistic, but you can do without it.

These presets are geared towards producers making Dubstep, Moombah, Trap, D n B, Electro and any other genre of EDM.
There are no "filler" sounds in here, only top notch original patches which are easy to use and all compliment one another. Every patch is programmed with the macro controls which will help shape and sculpt your sound in a professional manor.
The Crank Preset Pack contains 62 Massive Patches including:
All the sounds were inspired by EDM heavyweights such as: Zeds Dead, Alvin Risk, 12th Planet, Koan Sound,Skrillex, Kill the Noise and Dillon Francis.
What's good Producers?????

With being said, I hope all of you enjoy the CRANK pack and the fruits of my labor. Now get out there and start making that dirty $#@&!

Author Andre Dubus III and More Set for Pen Parentis Season Closer Tonight
The eleventh consecutive Pen Parentis Literary Salon season comes to a close with an evening of reading and discussion featuring three acclaimed novelists: Miranda Beverly-Whittemore, author of The Effects of Light and Bittersweet, which publishes the day of the salon, Andre Dubus III, author of the bestsellers House of Sand and Fog and The Garden of Lost Days, and, most recently, Dirty Love, and Alexi Zentner, author of Touch and the forthcoming The Lobster Kings. Each author will read from their work and then participate in an informal, salon-style roundtable hosted by curator Brian Gresko (editor of the literary fatherhood anthology Until I Held You) and fiction writer and longtime downtown resident, M. M. De Voe (founder of Pen Parentis. Ltd), about their writing and parenting lives. It's sure to be an insightful, lively evening.
The reading takes place on Tuesday, May 13th at the elegant Hotel Andaz at 75 Wall Street, which graciously provides happy hour specials on beer on wine. The night kicks off at 7:00 pm, and admission is free. RSVP is recommended, but not required-the Pen Parentis Literary Salon is open to adults over the age of 21. The authors' books are available for purchase at the event by way of The Park Slope Community Bookstore.
May 13th's Literary Salon features:
Miranda Beverly-Whittemore is the author of Bittersweet (Crown, 2014); Set Me Free (Warner Books, 2007), which won the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize for the best book of fiction by an American woman published that year, and The Effects of Light (Warner Books, 2005). Her short story Pertussis won the Crazyhorse Fiction Prize. Camera Obscura (2010), the short film adaptation of The Effects of Light, which she co-wrote and co-produced, starred Mary Lynn Rajskub. She lives and works in Brooklyn.
