Intel Brings QuickAssist Support To Linux: Crypto & Compression
Published on 03 June 2014 04:36 PM EDT
Written by

1 Comment
Intel has published a new Linux kernel patch-set that adds Quick Assist Technology support to Linux along with a driver to handle their DH895xxC hardware accelerator. This is a new chip for trying to accelerate cryptography and data compression tasks.
Quick Assist Technology is a new Intel technology for better accelerating cryptography and data compression operations. The Linux implementation consists of a kernel driver to connect to the Linux kernel crypto framework and a Linux user-space library with a QuickAssist API for application porting. Intel Linux developers have already patched OpenSSL's libcrypto and Zlib for taking advantage of this Intel technology.
Of course, these patches won't excite everyone in light of recent security concerns and trusting large US corporations with cryptography tasks... Intel's Linux patches are open-source but their acceleration engines require binary-only firmware blobs to function.
Unfortunately I don't have much more information on this Intel DH895xxC chip at this time. Among the algorithms that Intel's "QAT driver" can accelerate are SHA1, AES, and SHA256.
The Intel QAT driver patch-set for the Linux kernel can be found on the
kernel mailing list
while more information on Linux support for QuickAssist can be found at Intel's

The Bowers & Wilkins P7 may not the best headphone you can buy in its luxury price range, but it certainly is among the best, with excellent build quality and rich sound that works well with a wide range of music genres and sources.
Except for Galaxy compatibility, the Samsung Level On doesn't offer anything you won't find in other, better on-ear headphones for the same price.
While they aren't for bass lovers, the SR325e headphones deliver very open, detailed sound that makes for exciting listening.
With comparably good sound for its size and the addition of speakerphone features, the Sony SRS-X3 mini Bluetooth speaker measures up well against the pricier Bose SoundLink Mini.
This big, all-American design brings out the best sound from any pair of headphones.
While the Beyerdynamic DX160 iE has some small downsides, it's a bona fide audiophile in-ear headphone at an invitingly affordable price.
While the open-back design isn't good for noisy environments, the Grado SR80e headphones sound exceptionally good for $100 and are also comfortable to wear.
The Audiophiliac checks out a new company's headphones, and they're a knockout.
Chipmaker Intel joins up with rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's headphones company to create a new version that can monitor your heart rate.

Meet Cathy Baim
Cathy Baim relocated to Conifer in 2008 because of her husband's job…. Yet, ironically, it was her husband's job that ultimately led Cathy to unselfishly follow a path that would serve to help members of our community.
Cathy is a licensed clinical social worker who maintained two private practices in Wisconsin, but initially took some time off after moving to Colorado. She then accepted employment with Mountain Peace Shelter (PeaceWorks, Inc.) as a counselor, working there for a year. It was there that she met PeaceWorks' Volunteer Coordinator Sharon Smith, Executive Director of Evergreen Christian Outreach.
Unfortunately, Cathy's husband's job didn't work out, which prompted him to seek other employment wherever the best opportunity would present itself. When he secured a job on the East Coast and their departure from Colorado seemed inevitable, the couple's plan to move was somewhat compromised due to the stalled real estate market.

text: Missing the coach for 2012? UK sport held back by a deficit of up to quarter of a million professional coaches Shortfall threatens to undermine Great Britain"s ambitions to climb the Olympic medals table in 2012 "Culture of volunteerism" in UK coaching perpetuates social exclusion; and stifles career progression for home grown coaches Under strict embargo until 00.01hrs, Thursday 24th January A report released today by Sportnation, the sports think-tank supported by the Lucozade Sports Science Academy and chaired by Steve Cram, suggests that even on conservative estimates, the UK could face a shortfall of anywhere up to a quarter of a million full-time and part-time paid professional sports coaches. This deficit threatens to undermine both the London 2012 Olympic legacy, and the Government"s aims to make the UK the best place in the world for coaching by 2016. 'Are we missing the coach for 2012?' was commissioned from Loughborough University by the Sportnation think-tank. The researchers conducted in-depth interviews with the performance directors and senior representatives in twelve major sports1, supplemented by fresh analysis of the links between "volunteerism", social exclusion and sporting participation and success. The report contends: 69% of the 1.2m to 1.5m sports coaches in the UK are unpaid volunteers; In performance athletics there are as few as 12 salaried coaches in the UK; The report calls for investment in creating between 160,000 and 233,500 additional paid, professional coaching positions by 2016 – much more ambitious than the proposed 42,000 new positions to be created in the same time period under Sportscoach UK"s UK Coaching Framework. These figures are consistent with one in two coaches receiving some form of payment, which would bring UK sports coaching into line with other serious professions. Steve Cram, Chair of the Sportnation panel and a former world champion athlete, commented, "The report highlights that unless we can break the culture of "gentleman amateurism" in UK sport, we will struggle to become best in the world. As long as we continue rely on an army of grass-roots volunteers, with no clear career progression for home grown coaches, we will tend to look to superannuated foreign coaches to fill the top jobs in UK sport. If we don"t act now to stem the endemic culture of volunteerism in UK sport, we may have already missed the coach for sporting success at London 2012." 1 Athletics, badminton, cricket, football, gymnastics, hockey, netball, rowing, swimming, tennis, triathlon and volleyball. 1 A 'culture of volunteerism' The report finds that the "culture of volunteerism" in UK sports coaching creates a self-perpetuating social exclusion cycle wherein it is mainly white, middle-class men who can afford to volunteer their time, leading to an absence of role models for sportspeople from other groups. The lack of remuneration and clear career progression within coaching also risks a brain-drain of promising young British coaches to other professions, creating a reliance on importing foreign coaches to elite positions in UK sport. Unless a radical overhaul is made to investment in coaching, the report warns, the UK risks missing its stated aims of becoming the best place in the world for coaching by 2016; and the British Olympic Association its goal of Team GB rising from 10th in the medals table at the 2004 Athens Olympics to 4th by London 2012. Volunteerism and social exclusion The report identifies three principal factors that mean the prevalence of "volunteerism" promotes social exclusion within sports coaching and sport: Child and family poverty – 30% of all children in the UK are classed by Government as living in poverty; in the UK"s bottom 20% income group, 22% of children want to swim once a month but cannot afford to.2 The rise in one- parent families –23% of all children, and 54% of Black Caribbean families in the UK are now headed by a lone parent. Working hours – More than one in eight people in the UK now work more than 48 hours a week; the UK has the highest proportion of dual-earner households in Europe. These factors add up to mean that only a self-selecting group of people can afford to give up their time as volunteer sports coaches, irrespective of ability. As one performance director who was interviewed claimed, "[My sport] is basically a white middle-class sport, so if a lot of [athletes in this sport] come from that background, then they"re going to become coaches with the same middle-class values and background." Another added that, "… if you keep on recruiting from within, you just get more of the same." The researchers propose an alternative distribution of part-time or full-time equivalent paid versus volunteer coaches, that suggests that on current numbers, the deficit of paid professional sports coaches could be as high a 233,500, and runs to at least 160,000, taking into account the varied hours worked by part-timers and volunteers at present (See Figure 1 in Notes to Editors). 2 Source: Child Poverty Action Group, 2007. 2 They also propose an alternative model for coaching qualifications, building on Sportscoach UK"s UK Coaching Framework but seeing the majority of untrained volunteers defined as "sport leaders" rather than qualified coaches (See Figure 2 in Notes to Editors). Hope Powell, manager of England women's football team and a Sportnation panel member, said, "Women"s football in particular would not be able to function without the many dedicated volunteers who do everything from taking training, to washing the kit and driving the minibus. But while volunteering is essential, as a society we need to place more value on professional sports coaching… and to recognise that to attract the best this needs to become a viable career choice." David James, England goalkeeper and trustee of Access Sport, a charity which aims to increase youth participation at community sports clubs, concurred, "No one ever forgets an inspirational coach – mine was Brian Winter at Sir Frederic Osborn School, Hertfordshire. The Sportnation research shows that unless we act now to professionalise our coaching system from grass roots to elite sport stars, and draw inspirational coaches from all sections of society, British teams will continue to fall short in international competition." Recommendations Deliberating on the report"s findings, the Sportnation panel made the following recommendations: 1. A national debate is urgently required on the right balance between volunteers and professionals in the existing coaching system: while adding a quarter of a million additional paid coaches between now and 2016 may be too ambitious, a "quantum leap" in the number of paid for professional coaches is required, and the current Sportscoach UK targets of 42,000 additional paid professional coaches would not be sufficient. Separate targets are needed for coaches for disabled athletes. 2. Schools are the best mechanisms with which to reach the greatest number of children most efficiently with professionalized sports coaching: schools can be the "glue" that hold communities together in terms of providing a level playing field in access to sport. The panel recommended an immediate investment in 13,600 full-time equivalent professional coaches spread across 400 school based "multi-sports hubs" with 34 paid sports coaches each would make an immediate difference to participation and performance sport in local communities. These "hubs" would interact with clubs, coaching centres and national governing bodies in these communities. Similarly professionalized school sports coaching models in the USA and New Zealand, with peripatetic sports coaches moving between schools, were evoked. 3. A qualified endorsement for a coaching model in which untrained volunteers are recognised as 'sports helpers', not coaches, and which enables clear career progression from grassroots to elite level sports. While the significant contribution of volunteers was acknowledged, a 3 significant shake-up of the current coaching system was advocated, recognising that we may not have the right people within the current system and can not therefore simply pay existing volunteer coaches. Again, separate provision would need to be made for coaching disabled athletes. All panel members agreed that the issue of "volunteerism" in UK sport needs to be resolved urgently in the next 12 months – ahead of national coaching recruitment targets being set by Sportscoach UK in April 2009. --- Ends --Notes to editors For further information, please contact: Neil Daugherty, Debbie Howard or Hannah Crowley at Blue Rubicon on 020 7260 2700; email@example.com; email@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com.

We stayed 3 nights in this beautiful house. Very friendly hosts and staff. Nice, large room and bathroom on the second floor. Lovely sunshines. Very quiet and safe area. We come back, when we are in London. Thanks for everything, including the large breakfast. Leo, Ria, Kris, Martin
All were excellent, only the wifi was not working some days, but the rest, confort, near the tube, breakfast and very familiar house.
Breda the innkeeper is wonderful. Cleanliness Room size Food Proximity to public transportation Quiet neighborhood Hospitality
I love the whole experience. The owners are just wonderful people - friendly, always willing to help you with anything. We had to leave fairly early out last morning to catch the tube, it was raining, so they drove us to the tube station even though it wasn't too far of a walk (less than 10 minutes) - it was really appreciated!!! This is definitely the best place I have ever stayed.
Charming and felt like staying in a home :) Staff very considerate.
Bit far, but also quaint as it gave a country feel. So depending on needs, ok for us.
We loved the setting, the location, that "homely" yet professional feeling. Loved the cleanliness and the excellent attention to detail. Breakfast was scrumptious and plentiful! Bed was a standard size, we are not std size people, but this problem was soon overcome, thanks to excellent service! Great place to stay, we will be back!
Every petite, 5ft 2" person would fit into a standard bed. Not everyone is petite and 5ft 2" though.. Everyone, not matter which size, will fit into the larger bed sizes. Maybe a tip to for when the beds need replacing?
Clean and calm; Located in a beautiful part of London; Caring hostess; Good breakfasts;
Stunning house with the friendliest hosts! They just bent over backwards to make sure our stay was enjoyable and we lacked nothing! Breakfast was wonderful! Highly recommend this B & B!
The wi fi just kept cutting in and out especially in our room!
Very clean, welcoming, close to tube.
Breakfast for this price not good enough. Too overpriced for location nothing special. Mature people prefer hot food options for breakfast. no deposit required should be option and free cancellation should be essential. would not recommend this hosts not warm and friendly enough.
Excellent accommodation, very comfortable and friendly.
Everything pleasant staff
Place was clean and well maintained.
Bed was double sized. Would have preferred a king size. It was however very cozy.
Easy access to the centre of London. Close to Southgate tube station. Very good facilities.
The guest house was very pleasant, very clean, dining area and breakfast perfect, Breda was very friendly. Short distance to the tube which took us straight into the cent re of london, able to park the car at the premises.
There was nothing to dislike!
Clean, friendly comfortable B&B, very convenient for tube station with good parking.
Rooms might benefit from having a small fridge.
Rooms were very clean and spacious with fantastic facilities. Breakfast was really good and the staff were so helpful and friendly.
Nothing. Great place great value.
A lovely guesthouse would happily recommend. Welcoming and friendly, well looked after by Breda. Thank you, I will definately stay again if in the area.
Excellent location close to the tube station and the business I was visiting, but very quiet and peaceful. The en-suite room was attractive, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The toiletries and iron provided, were very welcome. Breda, the owner, was friendly, helpful and accommodating.
From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The facilities exceeded our expectations. Breda and her staff were friendly and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was plentiful with variety. We were supposed to stay for one night but were so impressed decided to stay an extra night. Located close to Southgate train station, there is quick and easy access to the the centre of London. This was the first time we had stayed in a guest house as opposed to a hotel and based upon our experience, we shall definitely do so again. I would strongly recommend The Oaks Guest House as a home from home.
staff on site,friendly & helpful. Accommodation v. comfortable & clean. location excellent - easy walk to shops , many restaurants & tube station. Free parking
Very helpful people. It was warm and comfortable.

Adapted from this LibraryThing thread.
I happen to think the moral strictures, at least, of the Bible are on the whole pretty darn clear, as opposed to being, you know, valent, whether multi, poly, bi (not that there's anything wrong with it), tri, or any other variation on same: Do not murder, do not have sex with someone else's spouse, lay off of worshipping big wooden statues, don't lie with beasts, and don't lie (if you're a male) with other males (especially if they're angels and especially if it's non-consensual).
In one sense, I agree with this, in that I'm distrustful of the project which claims we can apply a conservative hermeneutic to Scripture and still get liberal conclusions--the What the Bible Really Says about Homosexuality project, where it seems to be conceded that the Bible could condemn homosexuality, but it's a contingent fact that it doesn't. Whew! What a relief. [On the flist, I know that hermionesviolin is a big proponent of this view. Sorry, Elizabeth. --ed.]
But I'm not sure that "clear" and "multivalent" are actually mutually exclusive. It seems to me possible that a certain reading could be clear and at the same time God could be using it to say or do something completely different than the "clear" reading suggests. If one finds evolving revelation problematic, then the fact that God seemingly eschews being clear could be problematic. But since my faith commitments (which are fairly orthodox in this respect at least) don't lead me to do so, the problem disappears.
It seems to me "clear" and "multivalent" measure different things; the former measures plausibility (which I think the religionist by virtue of being a religionist has already abandoned [another point I think Elizabeth would disagree with me on--ed.]) and the latter possibility (which is the space in which religion thrives).
Leviticus is pretty explicit on male homosexuality: "don't do it." But as liberal apolgists are probably too prone to point out, it's in a list that also forbids wearing polyester. Is the doctrine of dispensationalism which supposedly frees us from the polyester rule something read into the Bible, or a direct exegesis of the New Testament? I don't pretend to know. Is the division between ethical and non-ethical rules that exempts the homosexuality clause from dispensationalism exegetical or eisegetical? Again, I don't know. I don't think there's a right answer. (Well, actually, I'm fond of "It's all eisegetical.")
But what I'm left with is that the Bible never says anything simply; interpretation is always required. We don't get very far before my "obvious" reading and your "obvious" reading no longer line up very well.
I don't want to deny that the "condemnation of homosexuality" reading is the most intuitive one. I don't know if this fact says more about us (and what we find intuitive) or Scripture, but to deny it would be disingenuous. All I'm trying to claim is that alternate readings are valid. Which reading we choose will say a lot about who we are as Christians, obviously.
Now, it may be that there are texts that, as modern thinking Christians, we might decide are so inherently problematic that they can't possibly be part of God's Word. I won't rule it out completely. But such a move should only be made as a last possible resort, I think; as long as there are ways to constructively re-vision our understanding of a passage, that should be the preferable route.
Scripture, as compiled under the watchful eye of Mother Church, is important because it is, not solely but nonetheless very importantly, what we as Christians draw on and look back to as part of what defines us. But this is a wrestling with God, not a list of directives. Penuel, not Sinai.
I think we need to be honest about this, and admit that our interpretations are born as much from our moral commitments (both personal and communal--and we cannot forget that Mother Church, fractured and divided as she is*, is guided by the Holy Spirit) as they are from any type of straight, direct exegesis. (These commitments are not prior to our interpretation of Scripture, but rather in constant unending dialect with it.) But I also believe that that's the only game in town.[This brings us to Alixtii's peculiar brand of meta/ethics.--ed.]
[*Yes, there's gendered language there. There's something in the gendered language which I think is particularly effective at conveying a particular (Anglo-Catholic) understanding of the composition of the Church. At the same time, all that bride of Christ stuff is so deeply problematic from a feminist viewpoint. Still at the same time, I didn't actually mention any of that bride of Christ stuff, nor would I ever (although I do refer to the Church as "His Church" upthread), just a positive feminine embodiment of a religious concept, and stripping our religious language of positive feminine embodiments of religious concepts is problematic in its own right. I still don't know how I feel about it all, except that there's part of me that feels really comfortable talking about Mother Church.--ed.]

It seems to me possible that a certain reading could be clear and at the same time God could be using it to say or do something completely different than the "clear" reading suggests.
I think an exemplar can be drawn from the creation/evolution debate. Because regardless of where you stand on the biblical evidence, the evidence available in the earth itself means that the bible reading cannot be taken as simple and clear. Either, God used evolution to create the world in which case the bible must be read as more complicated than the superficially clear story, or God did not use evolution but for some reason chose to make the world in such a fashion that it appeared that He did, in which case the bible must be read as more complicated than the superficially clear story. The important point being not whether evolution is or is not true but that the bible story is not and cannot be taken as a simple explanation of everything that is going on. Even if you are a hard-line creationist the undeniable fact of dinosaur bones means that on some level the Creation story has non-simplistic elements.
It seems to me this logic can be extended beyond the first chapters of Genesis and taken to any other aspect of the bible. You don't need a 'dispensation' if you take the reading as being more complicated than a simple set of 'rules'.
Although, point of doctrine, didn't Paul excuse most of those rules just as he did with things like circumcision?
I think we need to be honest about this, and admit that our interpretations are born as much from our moral commitments (both personal and communal--and we cannot forget that Mother Church, fractured and divided as she is*, is guided by the Holy Spirit) as they are from any type of straight, direct exegesis. (These commitments are not prior to our interpretation of Scripture, but rather in constant unending dialect with it.) But I also believe that that's the only game in town.
I'm just quoting this because I like it so much.
Wrestling with God is an ongoing task not just for each individual but with a greater historical scope. The idea that modern moral concepts can somehow be ignored or should not be applied to religion 'because the bible says so' seems to me to be wrong. Christianity is not fossilised in some fictional past when morality was fixed in a clear fashion. Morals have always changed, and thus the way in which Christians respond to the bible are bound to change along with them.
Mind you, I speak as a conservative agnostic, so probably not your intended core audience.

My quoted interlocutor was a fairly mainstream Christian who was to the right of me only by virtue of my being so radically theologically liberal. The context was a debate I and others were having with an atheist on whether evolving revelation rendered religion incoherent.
When I pointed out ways that religion could understand evolving revelation, they argued out that those understandings were based on undemonstrated claims they had no reason to accept. My response was a confused, "Well, yeah, that's why you're an atheist." Did they really think I was going to be sucked into an argument over whether Christianity was true? God forbid.
So what you have hear is the ensuing nitpicky hair-splitting between me and another, slightly more conservative Christian as to how exactly Christianity does/should make sense of evolving revelation.
Most of these thoughts aren't new to my flist; at the same time, the argument is structured somewhat differently than pieces written with the flist as intended audience have been, so I thought it would be useful to pull it out and post it.
Although, point of doctrine, didn't Paul excuse most of those rules just as he did with things like circumcision?
Yes. I don't pretend to really understand the difference between dispensationalism and supersessionism or replacement theology; I just know that dispensationalism is the doctrine that Evangelicals draw on to reconcile fundamentalism with not wanting to follow those annoying rules in Leviticus and Deuteronomy.
Now, if my memory serves (and admittedly my knowledge of the epistles is somewhat spotty), St. Paul is explicit about circumcision and dietary laws but vague as to where the Old and New Covenants begin and end otherwise. I frankly don't think he gives us enough information to be able to draw the line on a sola scriptura basis alone; we need the traditions of Mother Church to make clear exactly what Gentile Christians are and are not called upon to do. The reason I wear polyester (assuming I do; if I look at the label at all it's to see if it's going to shrink) isn't because a studied reading of the Bible has convinced me it's okay to do so; it's because not doing it just isn't a tradition amongst my religious community the way it is amongst some Jewish communities. For that matter, I don't really need St. Paul to tell me it's okay to eat shrimp, either, although if my Church avoided shrimp I might do so as well because that would be part of my religious tradition.
I'm just quoting this because I like it so much.
And you and I have discussed that element, the interdependence of ethics and theology, at length before. I was re-reading those conversations this morning after I hit "post"; I'm really glad you prompted me those many months ago to articulate my thoughts on meta/ethics and save them. It's a really valuable resource to me.

Which, as you point out, might not be indicative of all that much.
I suspect it is because we are coming at it from the same religious tradition, so the only difference is faith, which isn't relevant to the discussion.
a debate I and others were having with an atheist on whether evolving revelation rendered religion incoherent.
Let me guess - the atheist expected his 'revelation' of incoherence would come as a huge shock to you all. The trouble with a lot of atheists, especially while they are still at the evangelical stage, is that they stopped learning about religion at the moment they stopped believing, so they are genuinely unaware that Christianity has had a long time to think about these problems and actually has some very impressive responses. If I didn't happen to spend a fair bit of time in Christian services I would be unaware of this myself. (Because I sing in various choirs, including singing services, if you were wondering.)

I must go and reread it myself, because I've been thinking all afternoon about the nature of morality versus legality and need to remind myself of some things.
BTW, I have a question about the nature of radical feminism, if you are minded to discuss it. I have been wondering the following for some time now:
If radical feminism revolves around the notion that there are those in positions of power (loosely, men) and those who are disempowered (loosely, the rest) then to what extent does the radical system perceive the necessity for establishing methods of negotiating with the powerful on behalf of the the disempowered, or does it try to avoid such negotiation as 'playing into' the existing power structures?
Of course this may not be the sort of thing you want to discuss right now, so please don't feel any pressure to answer.
(no subject)Date: 2009-03-01 02:39 pm (UTC)
This cuts straight to the quick as to my critique of radical politics. While I for the most part agree with their modes of analysis, it's hard to see the traditional 1970s radical feminists as arguing anything other than the latter claim--that negotiating on behalf of the disempowered with the powerful is playing into the existing power structures, which need to be torn down in toto, don't ask me how.
As a result, traditional radical feminists eschew pursuing change through legislation or litigation. I'd probably agree that liberal feminism is a little too law-happy, to the detriment of enacting cultural change, but it's simply a fact that the most meaningful and important changes to a woman's lot in society have been wrought by liberal feminists working through the political system. No, it's not a throwing off of the yoke of the patriarchy, but in the meantime it's an important work of marcy, and by increasing the scope of women's ability to be actors culturally and politically increases the possibility in my mind of eventual radical change.
Furthermore, it's not as if the radical feminists have, as far as I can tell, a coherent agenda for cultural change either (at least if we discount lesbian separatism) beyond women telling their own stories--something vitally important, but not sufficient. Here too I think a series of negotiations and compromises are necessary; we can't just replace everything in the library with Margaret Atwood; we need the Joss Whedons, whose works are empowering and deeply problematic at the same time. Enacting cultural change requires speaking to people in a language they can understand, which requires a partial and temporary appropriation of the patriarchal mythos in order to deconstruct it.
Do you remember just how horrible Dissenter's Tolkein fanfic was?
As I wrote in my Non-Defense of the Organization for Transformative Works:
Liberalism and radicalism always tend to exist in an uneasy tension with each other, and my temperament is to be a radical. (If for no other reason than that I am still young.) And yet for all that I am a radical--my brand of feminism is not the "liberal feminism" of the ERA brand (that's my mother's feminism)--I can see the good work that liberal feminism has done: suffrage, anti-discrimination laws, assurance of basic rights like holding property and not being raped. So too can I see the compromises with authority which brought about these reforms, and problematize them--and problematize them I do! But that does not change the fact that the plight of women is better than it was 100 years ago, for all the fact that the feminist movement consisted for much of that time of middle-class white (heterosexual) women who, no, did not speak for all women.
Liberalism is necessary for concrete change, but radicalism is the vision which both motivates it and critiques it.
(no subject)Date: 2009-03-06 08:00 am (UTC)
I had pretty much come to the conclusion that radicals could only be either entirely theoretical or working towards revolution. I hadn't actually thought of the separatist lesbian utopia, but actually that makes a lot of sense and I suspect is the world view a lot of radicals in fact are falling back on, whether they realise it or not.
So, subsidiary question:
radicalism is the vision which both motivates it and critiques it.
Do you think liberal feminists can in fact take their theories from radicals and still maintain their full ability to negotiate? The thing that has struck me about this empowered/disempowered binary is that it really undermines someone's ability to talk with (i.e. negotiate with) the empowered because it also breeds contempt and dislike for the power. And while many people can have respect for someone who disagrees with them, it is very rare indeed to respect someone who has no respect for your position in society.
Oddly enough this even holds true if the power is something you've only been granted by the very person being disrespectful of it - if I say 'you are more powerful than me because you were given a rubber toy dog as a child, and I despise you for it' you are going to be in no mood to listen to my criticisms of why you shouldn't have been given a toy dog, or why everyone should have been given one, even though up until that moment you had never given a moment's thought to your toy dog.
So radicalism poisons its own waters. The question is, does it also poison other people's? Can one take lessons from radicalism about what the world's problems are and still find a new way to actually solve them? Or should one turn away from radicalism as an intellectually fascinating but ultimately fruitless cul-de-sac and look for something entirely different?
I'd probably agree that liberal feminism is a little too law-happy, to the detriment of enacting cultural change
And of course the danger of that is that if you manage to impose a law before the culture of society at large is ready for it, it will backfire far worse than any radical ranting on their soap box. Liberals have the potential to do more good, but they also have the potential to do more harm.
I'm not sure. I've been fumbling around thinking about this sort of thing for, what, two or three years now? And I sort of have the swirly shape of an understanding at the back of my brain but I can't bring it into proper focus. It is something to do with cultural expression, and negotiation not confrontation but negotiation without people even knowing they are being negotiated with. I kind of take Torchwood as my shiny example because I think that has done a brilliant job of negotiating for alternative sexualities, yet maybe that is just from my angle of looking at it. I know I've seen people who really didn't get 'the point' about sexuality in Torchwood. So maybe that isn't entirely the answer either.
I know a lot of things it's not - it's not confrontation, or expressing ones frustrations, or criticising other people's output, or doing anything to enforce, police or rely on the boundary between X and Y - but as you know, it is very easy indeed to criticise what other people are doing :D What I need to do is find some way to bring my own ideas into focus and work out what they actually are in detail so I can start applying them properly.
(no subject)Date: 2009-03-14 06:36 pm (UTC)
I think this conflates the power and the empowered a little too much. It sort of resembles the strawman (strawperson?) feminism where the patriarchy is understood to be a cabal of rich white men deliberately seeking to keep women down, or the stereotype of the man-hating feminist. I think there's a huge difference between a recognition of privilege and contempt.
And since privilege comes in so many shapes and colors, thinking of it as a binary is probably less than effective.
Can one take lessons from radicalism about what the world's problems are and still find a new way to actually solve them? Or should one turn away from radicalism as an intellectually fascinating but ultimately fruitless cul-de-sac and look for something entirely different?
I just don't see what that something could be. It might just be my own blindness, but it seems like it'd most likely develope into that "most of feminism's battles are fought and won" post-feminist nonsense and complacency which is so frustratingly common nowadays. Radical feminism reveals just how deep (thus the name) the problems with our society go. I don't see anything else (other than the other forms of radical leftist politics, of course, which I think need to stand in solidarity with feminism) able to fulfill that role.
But I don't see why seeing just how deep the problem runs prevents one from making temporary, short-term attempts at, if not solving it (planning for the revolution might still be in order), at least mitigating it. And like the ship of Theseus, this approach might allow us to, over time, radically replace all elements of our culture while still existing within it.
So, no, I don't see any real tension between a liberal politics and a radical theory.

Flippin' pies, readin' fries
I'm advising Kabir, smokin' hash
from Das Racist – Ek Shaneesh Lyrics on Genius
Himanshu is saying that his poetry skills are so much so that he can advise Kabir, a famous early 16th century poet of the Bhakti movement of Hinduism. He's known for his description of God as nirguna (without or beyond attributes) and his wit.
His poems often make fun of the fake piousness of religious people—e.g. "If being vegetarian gets you into heaven, then deer would be the first ones there…"
Equally importantly is his embodiment of the Indian syncretic tradition. He was born a Muslim (hence Kabir, one of the 99 names of Allah), but had a Hindu guru. He considered himself "at once the child of Allah and Ram" and was equally revered by Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs.

A new look at the role of hero and villain in Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner."
Guys are always using the same lame excuses. First Ted licks Allegra's bio-port. Then he says, "That wasn't me--it was my game character!'' Allegra is the world's leading designer of virtual reality games. her newest game is named "eXistenZ,'' and the bio-port plugs directly into the lower spine and connects to the game's control pod via an "umbrycord.'' When you're hooked up, you can't tell the game from reality. Not even if you designed the game.
"eXistenZ'' is the new film from David Cronenberg, the Canadian director who must be a thorn in the side of the MPAA ratings board. He's always filming activities that look like sex, but don't employ any of the appurtenances associated with that pastime. In his previous film, "Crash (1997)", the characters exhibited an unhealthy interest in wounds. This time it's bio-ports. And what about those "MetaFlesh Game Pods,'' input devices which combine the attributes of a joystick, a touch pad and a kidney? They pulse with a life of their own, and Allegra holds her as if it's a baby, or a battery-powered shiatsu machine.
"eXistenZ'' arrives a few weeks after "The Matrix,'' another science-fiction movie about characters who find themselves inside a universe created by virtual reality. "The Matrix'' is mainstream sci-fi, but "eXistenZ,'' written by Cronenberg, is much stranger; it creates a world where organic and inorganic are not separate states, but kind of chummy. Consider the scene where an oil-stained grease monkey implants a bio-port in the hero, using a piece of equipment that seems designed to give a lube job to a PeterBilt.
Jennifer Jason Leigh, that fearless adventurer in extreme roles, plays Allegra, whose new game is being marketed by Antenna Research. Jude Law is Ted, the company's marketing trainee. Allegra barely misses being killed during a demonstration of "eXistenZ,'' when an assassin slips past the metal detectors at the door with a gun made of flesh and blood. Ted helps her escape, and later, when he cuts the bullet out of her shoulder, he discovers it's not a bullet but a ... hmmm, this is interesting ... a human tooth. She decides Ted needs his own bio-port, and looks for a "country gas station.'' When she finds one (with a sign that says Country Gas Station) we assume they're inside the game, which is why she knows the station's name: She wrote it, and maybe also created its owner, named Gas (Willem Dafoe).
She knows her way around this world and isn't surprised when they're told, "Look for a Chinese restaurant in the forest--and order the special.'' The owner rattles off the chef's daily selection, explaining that "mutant reptiles and amphibians produce previously unknown taste sensations.'' But Ted insists on the daily special and gets a dish that's really bony. No wonder. The bones click together into a gun. And soon they visit the Trout Farm, where organic game pods are grown, and come up against Kiri Vinokur (Ian Holm), who's the owner of Cortical Systematics, a rival game firm.
Cronenberg's film is as loaded with special effects as "The Matrix,'' but they're on a different scale. Many of his best effects are gooey, indescribable organic things, and some of the most memorable scenes involve characters eating things that surgeons handle with gloves on. He places his characters in a backwoods world that looks like it was ordered over the phone from L.L. Bean. Then he frames them with visuals where half the screen is a flat foreground that seems to push them toward us, while the other half is a diagonal sliding off alarmingly into the background.
"eXistenZ'' is likely to appeal especially to computer game players, since it's familiar with that world and speculates on its future development. Allegra explains to Ted such phenomena as "genuine game urges''-- "something your game character was born to do.'' She regards her programming handiwork with musings like, "I've devoted five of my most passionate years to this strange little creature.'' At one point she's alarmed to discover, "I'm locked outside my own $38 million game!'' And without the password, it looks like neither she nor anyone else can get back inside. What? You mean she didn't back up her disc?
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Paste Item Into Chat
You can use this window to paste an item from the current seller's booth into their chat window. Just enter the item ID (see right picture) of the item you wish to paste into chat:
Note that you can paste an item into chat without using this dialog box if you type "@item [item number]" into the chat text box. For example, entering "I like this item @item 1234" would paste the item with ID 1234 into the chat box, after your chat text, assuming item #1234 was a "for sale" item in the booth you entered that line.
