This magnificent mansion house has an interesting history, it is beautifully preserved with richly decorated rooms and matchless landscaped grounds incorporating woodland, lakes and many habitats for creatures of the wild. Set as it is on the steep slopes of the North Downs, Titsey is extremely picturesque, it is in the care of a Trust and is open to the public from Easter until September each year.

A Humboldt County Superior Court judge on Monday upheld the 18-year prison sentence of Dino Cardelli, a former Arcata pastor who under a 2011 plea agreement pleaded guilty to child molestation and intimidation of a witness.
In making his ruling, Judge Bruce Watson said he stood by his original sentencing of Cardelli to 16 years in prison on counts of sexually abusing his two adopted daughters and two consecutive years in prison for attempting to dissuade one of the girls from testifying.
A statement given at Monday's hearing by one of Cardelli's victims -- who said her father made phone and Internet contact with her following his arrest, despite explicit court orders not to do so -- helped Watson reach that decision, he said.
Rather than letting the case "run its course through counsel and through the justice system," Watson said Cardelli acted in "blatant violation of the rules," attempting to "otherwise beat the system."
"That certainly had a detrimental effect on her (the victim)," Watson said. "Once again, she is drawn into this whole process, and in the real sense, re-victimized emotionally, at least. So those are the reasons that I think the two-year consecutive term is appropriate."
A panel of three judges from California's First Appellate District ordered the resentencing hearing after ruling in October 2012 that court officers misunderstood the amount of discretion available to them at Cardelli's original sentencing.
Specifically, the appellate court said it believed court officers mistakenly understood the law to require Cardelli to serve the 16 year and two-year sentences consecutively, rather than concurrently. According to the appellate court, Watson could have chosen either option.
In arguing on behalf of his client, attorney M.C. Bruce told the court that child molestation cases "are all bad, all horrible, and the victims are all scarred for life."
"I am going to be blunt here," he said. "I can't see how those two years are going to make much difference to anybody in 2024 or 2025 when this young lady, one hopes, will have gone on with her life and living, and, one hopes, will have forgotten a lot of what happened to her as a young girl."
Bruce said the two years would mean more to Cardelli than to anyone else.
Humboldt County Assistant District Attorney Kelly Neel disagreed.
"Those two years matter a great deal to everybody in this room," she said. "The crimes committed against this young girl are life-lasting. It isn't as if she will move on with her life and forget. This wasn't some love affair gone wrong, this was an adult man sexually abusing a child."
Following his arrest in September 2010, the prosecution charged Cardelli with three counts of lewd and lascivious behavior with a child under 14 years old, seven counts alleging there were multiple victims in the case, two counts of oral copulation with a child under 16, recurring sexual conduct with a victim under 14 and a special allegation of a victim under 14.
In December 2010, Cardelli was given explicit orders from the court to refrain from any contact with the pair of alleged minor victims in the case, including both phone and Internet contact.
Prosecutors argued in January 2011 that Cardelli had used a throw-away cell phone and a "false" Facebook page to contact the one of the victims.
During Cardelli's initial sentencing in August 2011, Watson said the man took advantage of a vulnerable victim, a girl he'd adopted at the age of 5 and who was 13 when the acts of molestation began. The judge said Cardelli then repeatedly attempted to dissuade the girl from cooperating in the case.
Standing by his previous comments, Watson said Monday the former pastor used his position as an adult, a father and a pastor to betray the trust and confidence of his daughter, his community and his congregation.
Under the terms of his sentencing, Cardelli will serve at least 85 percent of his 18-year prison sentence, will be put on supervised parole for 20 years after his release and will have to register as a sex offender for life.

The state of forensic science in the United States, which has too often sent innocent people to prison for crimes they did not commit, needs to be overhauled, says a report from the National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council.
The report recommends that the federal government create the National Institute of Forensic Science (NIFS), which would be empowered to set and enforce best practices for the disparate forensic fields, accredit forensic laboratories and certify forensic scientists, and promote scholarly and peer-reviewed research into perfecting forensic practices and technologies.
Although great advances have been made in many areas of forensic science like DNA technology, the report finds that too many people have been wrongly convicted of crimes they didn't commit because of "faulty forensic analyses." Often the convictions are based on overvalued expert testimony and imprecise testing and analysis.
According to the report, "Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward," the only real reliable forensic science is nuclear DNA analysis. Besides that, "no forensic method has been rigorously shown to have the capacity to consistently, and with a high degree of certainty, demonstrate a connection between evidence and a specific individual or source."
Recent history has borne this out.
In between 1989 and November 2008, 232 people have been released from prison due to post-conviction DNA testing, according to the Innocence Project, which uses DNA testing to free prisoners wrongly convicted of a crime. Seventeen of those released were on death row. Over half of the prisoners exonerated were African American.
The reports adds that although some forensic methods are better than others, like fingerpring analysis versus bite mark analysis, there is still too much variation between and within fields. Often, decisions are based more on an expert's interpretation of the forensic evidence and not on peer-reviewed, scientifically sound forensic methods.
Peter Neufeld, co-director of the Innocence Project, who testified at two of the public hearings, lauded the report.
"This unprecedented report shows that many forensic techniques which are relied on in courtrooms every day lack scientific support. This report is a major breakthrough toward ensuring that so-called scientific evidence in criminal cases is solid, validated and reliable," he said.
No more than 10 percent of a crime laboratory's workload involves DNA testing, meaning other, less reliable forensic sciences are used.
"The simple reality is that the interpretation of forensic evidence is not always based on scientific studies to determine its validity," the report declares.
Three improvements would result by strengthening the rigor and reliability of the nation's forensic science system, according to the report: criminals will be more reliably identified and prosecuted, innocent people would find themselves behind bars much less, and homeland security would be enhanced.

Thanks to F30post member CSL-Fanatik.
Based on shape, the F30 appears more evolutionary than revolutionary a … CONTINUED

This results in the halo rings dimming at night so as not to bother other drivers (a common problem with bright … CONTINUED

Though she's had to defend her marriage to Russell Brand recently, there's one companion in Katy Perry's life who has always been a constant – her cat, Kitty Purry.
"Reunited and it feels so good," she Tweeted Tuesday, posting a photo of her and her beloved feline taking a cat nap.
The cheeky star even took a moment to playfully challenge celeb BFF Taylor Swift, who has been similarly sharing photos of her new kitten.
"Take that [Taylor Swift] and Meredith!" Perry wrote.

Built in 1875, this inn is steeped in history and misty beauty. High up on the Meander, in the foothills of the Drakensberg, and adjacent to the Summerhill racing stud, it's a deliciously luxurious, if rather formal, escape for the lucky few. A few of the suites are in the original house; others front an ethereal, lovely lake. Each suite is different, decorated in a gloriously eclectic collision of fabrics and furnishings from Africa, Europe, and the East. The food, which
has garnered top honors, is just as rich and eclectically surprising. Dinner (R325 for a five-course set menu, reservations essential), which the chefs start preparing at dawn, is an unforgettable event with wines to match. Summerhill Stud, the neighboring thoroughbred racehorse stud farm, is a great place to visit if you have a few hours.

Witty and wacky--but emphasizing the wacky above all--this sharp-tongued, sweet-souled sitcom picks up without losing a (heart)beat.
If you've given Cougar Town a real shot and found that it's not for you, fair enough; but if you already love the goofy-sweet-smart flavor of this show, you'll find a lot to like about the new season.
The humor is so lighthearted, the show practically skips. [20 Feb 2012, p.48]

Feb 17, 2012I like Cougar Town. Sometimes I even love it. Great characters, great chemistry. But sometimes, especially last season, the writers got too wrapped up in gimmicks like penny can, instead of the real relationships between their characters. Don't get me wrong, Penny Can was great, then they overdid it and ruined it. At least for me. This first episode of season three promises to get us back to stories about the characters. The first ten minutes fell a little flat for me, but it picked up from there. I'm definitely going to keep watching.… Full Review »
May 18, 2012This is the worst season yet for me. It lacks the quick wit of the first two seasons, and has been just downright awful. Still, it is better than most sitcoms out there, and I have faith its next season will be better than this one.… Full Review »
Apr 17, 2012I quite liked the first 2 seasons of this show but now it is starting to wear thin. Ellie's meanness used to be amusing but now it just feels nasty and desperate. Jules' quirky sweetness used to be endearing and entertaining but now it just feels forced. On top of this - Christa Miller and Courtney Cox's faces can't make expressions anymore. I find myself facially emoting while I am watching them - like I am subconsciously willing their stone masks into some kind of animation. It was fun for a while but now I'll be moving on.… Full Review »

God bless K Records' tousled-bedhead messes, but it's a mystery to us what, exactly, Saturday Looks Good to Me are doing on this label's roster. These Ann Arbor, Michigan-based indie-poppers simply have their "gee willikers" stuff a bit too together, you know? Neither Calvin Johnson nor Phil Elverum had a hand in the creation of Fill Up the Room, the band's latest feel-good disc, which lacks the inspired, twee amateurishness the duo usually bring to the projects they tackle. Instead, Saturday just seem to really, reallywant to open for the Polyphonic Spree; all the signs are certainly there. The kind of goofy sing-along choruses and hooks that could gain them entry to the Elephant 6 collective's secret clubhouse? Check. A charismatic cheerleader of a frontman? Uh-huh Fred Thomas, the kind of guy who can sell a line like "Me and my best friend sleep without any clothes/With books on the bedspread in languages no one knows" without coming off as cloying or creepy. Lyrics that fit the music like a glove but stink on paper? Yup! Melodicas, tape loops, saxes, harpsichords, and glockenspiels strengthen the group's positive glow without being distracting, reminding us how much we dug Belle and Sebastian, back in the day when they wouldn't give interviews.

Valiant for Truth - Worship
The Reformed understanding of the Lord's Supper is grounded in an important distinction between the sign and seal (bread and wine), the thing signified (forgiveness through his blood, the "blood of the covenant"), and a sacramental union between the two (our Lord's words "this is my body").
As a pastor of a local church, I often walk alone through the empty auditorium of our building during the week. In the stillness, I look at the empty pews and think of the people who will fill them on Sunday during the 'dinner rush.'
Before our Lord Jesus ascended into heaven, he left his disciples with the following command: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
Although any discussion of the role of the sacraments in the Christian life seems too "catholic" for many evangelical Christians, the sacraments do play a very important role throughout the New Testament.
In the animated film, Ratatouille, a story about a gifted rat in Paris who dreams of becoming a chef, Remy, the main character, laments the fact that his fellow rats are content with eating garbage. "If you are what you eat," declares Remy at the beginning of the movie, "then I only want to eat the good stuff."

DEFINITION of 'Stewardship Grade'
An evaluative data point in Morningstar's fund and stock reports that assesses the quality of a company's governance practices. Stewardship grades for both funds and stocks range from 'A' (excellent) to 'F' (very poor) based on criteria that measures the effectiveness of fund and corporate managers to consistently act with their shareholders' best interests in mind.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Stewardship Grade'
Morningstar initiated its stewardship grades for both the funds and stocks covered by its investment research services in 2004 in response to the mutual fund and corporate scandals prevalent at that time. Morningstar sees a high level of managerial stewardship as an important investment quality for investors to seek out in their selection of funds and stocks.
For funds, five areas of stewardship are evaluated: corporate culture, board quality, manager incentives, fees and regulatory issues.
For stocks, three broad areas are examined: transparency in financial reporting, shareholder friendliness, and incentives, ownership and overall stewardship.

South Korea govt site hacking sees massive data breach
Summary: Presidential office says personal information of approximately 100,000 people was leaked in last week's attack on its Web site, but user passwords and identification numbers were not stolen.
The personal information of about 100,000 people was leaked in a recent hacking attack on the presidential office.
A presidential official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Yonhap News Agency on Sunday, said the compromised information includes names, birth dates, identification numbers, offline addresses and IP addresses.
However, users' passwords and their registration numbers--the equivalent of U.S. social security numbers--were not stolen since they were encrypted.
The presidential office has offered an apology over the leakage of its users' personal information and said the hacking victims, who account for about half of registered users of its Web site, can seek compensation, according to Yonhap.
Last week, unidentified hackers attacked the Web sites of South Korea's presidential office and government policy coordination on the anniversary of the outbreak of the 1950-53 Korean War. Hacktivist group Anonymous had claimed responsibility for the attacks, though.

Negotiating Recovery
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011
We've all done it. Seldom, if ever does it work. We make deals; we are willing to sell our soul, our dignity and our future to an addict in an effort to stop the madness.
My efforts to negotiate recovery involved buying things, providing gifts, paying for medical treatment, rehab and rents. All this effort is a fruitless attempt to bargain away the addiction from my son. This all happens while we enable our addicts and deny the reality.
Then we begin to get smarter about enabling and stop wasting our treasures. But all that does is lead us to a new phase of negotiating. We begin negotiating with our self. We whisper inside that if I see this and this and that then I can do this and this and that.
How do you negotiate with an addict that has no sense of justice or fair play? How can you negotiate with an addict that suffers from a disease that results in behaviors a sane person would deem insane? An addict will not and cannot negotiate away their addiction. As long as you indulge in negotiating with addiction you have everything to lose and there is nothing to gain.
So what's the answer? You must live in the world of a reality that involves seeing the picture as it is — not how you want it to be. Stepping back and taking in the holistic nature of this disease and how it not only affects the addict but all those that they touch is the first step. From that place I was able to see that negotiating was hopeless. Then it came down to figuring out where I actually stood in relationship to the disease and my relationship with my addict.

This is a guest blog post by Michael V. Pantalon, PhD, Yale Psychologist, Addiction & Motivation Expert, Speaker, Coach and author of INSTANT INFLUENCE: How to Get Anyone to Do AnythingâFast! (Little, Brown & Co., May, 2011).
Many people who enter into recovery (i.e., abstinence from their drug of abuse/dependence & engaged in treatment) will relapse at one point or another. Though this seems like bad news, the flip side is that relapse can be a manageable part of recovery – some have even said that it has helped them solidify what they need to do in order for it to never happen again. How did these people benefit from the pain of relapse? What kernels of wisdom and insight might they have gleaned from it? And how did their family and significant others help them through that process?
Well, while everyone's relapse is different to some extent, there are some fairly predictable dynamics that family members should be aware of if they would like to help steer the affected individual through it as easily as possible and in a way that important lessons can be learned and applied in the future.
This is the opposite of the "One-drink-One-drunk" adage that says that the moment an alcoholic who has been in recovery for a period of time (even a long period of time, say 15 years) has a single drink or even sip, they return immediately back to the drunk they were 15 years ago.
While relapses can often set in motion a series of events both environmentally and biochemically that can eventually lead someone back to their worst point or lower, there is no scientific evidence that it happens immediately or that it is inevitable. In fact, the scientific literature more clearly states that the manner in which the affected person, as well as significant other around him, HANDLES the relapse is much more predictive of how things will go in the future.
So, it's not simply the relapse that causes problems, but how it's handled. That said, the reverse is also true (and much more positive and hopeful)…"The better the affected person and his significant others handle the relapse, the better he will do in the future (e.g., the shorter the relapse, the quicker the time back to treatment)."
How have you and your family members handled relapse in the past? Â Did it work? Â Please share with us in the comments section.

When someone â including a teenager â gets treatment for alcohol and substance abuse, it is standard practice to identify some of the reasons why they started using and the benefits they feel they get from these substances.  This helps them reduce shame and best identify their triggers and areas to focus on. Among the research, most reasons for using alcohol fall into a few broad categories such as mood or personality enhancement, social reasons, and coping reasons. Reviewing personal motivations for using alcohol is often an âah-haâ experience for the person seeking help but it needs to be handled with care as there is the potential in such a discussion to make alcohol use seem more appealing.
Nowhere is this concern greater than when attempting to prevent alcohol use in teens as many parents have a justified fear that such a discussion will promote alcohol use in kids who may not have otherwise been aware of the potential short-term âbenefitsâ of alcohol. This fear has often caused parents and caregivers to avoid the topic, focus only on the consequences of drinking or minimize the reasons why people drink â especially with younger children. While reinforcing the consequences of underage drinking is always recommended, understanding teenâs motivations can also be useful to parents as a point for both prevention and early intervention of teenage drinking. Below are a few tips on using teen motivations to intervene and connect with your children.
A useful strategy is to ask teens about what they âexpectâ to get from drinking. Along with perceived risk, your teenâs alcohol use can be predicted by the expectation that one will feel a certain way when they drink. These expectations are reinforced by the media and by your teenâs peers. Expectations are essentially motivating (I want to relax and I will drink because I expect that it will help me relax). The first step is to identify what your teens think about drinkingâs benefits or what drinking may give them. If you can identify the reasons they think people drink (or they drink), it is a point of intervention.
Tailor Your Strategy: Based on the motivations or expectations your teen mentions reports there are several options to continue the conversation.
1. Â Identify myths about the effects of alcohol: Teens may think that alcohol will help them achieve a particular outcome when in fact the opposite is true in the research. For example, if a teen says he drinks to relax, you can counter that alcohol only has temporary relaxing qualities (and only in moderation) and drinking actually reduces sleep quality which then causes stress. When teens understand that alcohol in fact may not actually give them what they want â they might think twice about drinking for a specific reason.
2. Once you have identified your childâs reason for drinking, encourage him or her to find other activities that will achieve the same outcome without alcohol. This is called âcounter conditioning.â So using the above example you can identify other ways that are significantly more effective than alcohol in helping them relax (e.g. exercise, music, yoga). This is important because you will be teaching your teen a valuable coping skill that might prevent them from developing problems later on in life.
3. Lastly, point out that much of the âeffectâ they get from alcohol is simply based on what they expect they will get when they drink. This is especially effective for the âI want to have funâ motivation. My favorite way to talk about this is to discuss the numerous experiments done on placebo alcohol â yes â thatâs right, studies where there was fake beer or tonic water alone and people thought it was actual alcohol. Individuals in these studies reported everything from being more social/sexual to being more confident to even having memory loss. In other words â you get what you expect. So simply being primed and thinking positively will give you what you need without the alcohol. These results are not unique to alcohol either â the placebo effect whether it be through fake surgery or a pill is extremely powerful. Studies even show that people who receive placebos have actual changes in their brain chemistry based simply on the expectation that they are getting what they need to achieve their goals. More importantly, some studies also reveal that people taking a placebo attribute their changes to themselves and not an external substance.
What I have found when I discuss alcohol motivations with teens is that they appreciate hearing a more rounded view of drinking. Teens are smart â they understand that people drink for a reason and if we ignore the reasons for drinking we are going to lose credibility with our teens. Discussions about expectancies and motivation typically also bring up much broader discussions of internal vs. external control. When I was working with college students who were referred to me for binge or excessive drinking â I would ask them to âpretendâ they were drunk the next time they went to a party. It was a powerful experience for them to just hold a tonic water and pretend that it was a real drink. It helped them recognize the internal power they have over their actions and to feel more confident and secure. When teens begin to realize that they are in control of their actions they can begin to master the world around them to achieve their goals without a pill or drink.

This is a two-part blog post by Michael V. Pantalon, PhD, Yale Psychologist, Addiction & Motivation Expert, Speaker, Coach and author of INSTANT INFLUENCE: How to Get Anyone to Do AnythingâFast! (Little, Brown & Co., May, 2011)
A "Relapse" Scenario
Imagine your 17-year-old son has been doing really well — staying away from alcohol and pot for the past 6 months following a 28-day stay in rehab. He's back at school, his grades are good and he's playing soccer again. On top of that, his new friends seem supportive of his recovery. As his parent, you feel you can finally breathe a small sigh of relief.
However, when your son comes home early from school one day without his backpack, you're worried. You confront him and his explanation makes sense: his last class was cancelled because a teacher became sick and there was no one available to sub; he did his homework earlier in the day and during part of the last period, so he didn't need his backpack; and you already knew there was no soccer practice that day. The next day everything seems back to normal.
Several days later, however, he comes to you and says that he would like to leave school early on Friday to go to a concert in the city. When asked about how sensible that might be given that it might be a trigger for using and about the group of kids that he's going to the show with, he becomes defensive and irritable. A few minutes later he confesses that the day he came home early, he had slipped out of school right after first period to hang out with some old friends. He ran into these old friends (the very crowd he used to use and drink with) on the way to school that day and instead of staying in school, he spent the day with them, playing Call of Duty (a popular shooter video game), and smoking and drinking, and that now he's struggling with strong urges to continue using.
While he's saying he doesn't want to go back to the way he was, he also says, "I'm almost 17! Why can't I have a drink now and then?! I want to have fun. Being sober is not fun. I'm supposed to be having fun at this point in my life!" Later, he confesses that he'd made plans to go to the concert with the old friends, but he's still defending his ability to go with them and not use, stating that his new friends are "nice, but no fun at all."
How do you feel?
What do you do?
How do you keep this relapse from blowing up in your and your son's face? Meaning, is there a way to help without making it worse?
You're probably feeling a lot of different and conflicting feelings. You're angry, surprised and hurt, but you're also worried, understanding and sympathetic. We might all have the strong urge to immediately vent this barrage of emotions toward our child and, in the moment, we would feel justified in doing so.
However, many of us might instinctively know that to do so would not be helpful. It might make your son more defensive and irritable. He might then storm out of the house and go to the concert and resume drinking and pot use NOT simply because of the situation and the people he is with, but also because he now feels justified in doing so because he's angry at his parents (whether or not it is actually justifiable in this manner).
The other thing is that your son IS actually feeling stressed and distressed about his recovery and the conflict he just had with his parents. And since he's learned in the past that alcohol and drugs immediately take this feeling away, we've just helped him create a new trigger for drug and alcohol use.
Not that you are to blame, but there are certain ways to handle relapses so that this does not happen. While we as parents are not to blame when the sort of situation described above occurs, I strongly believe that we have a responsibility to learn ways to prevent it and even to use relapse as an opportunity to further strengthen our child's recovery.
In my next blog post "An Overview of Relapse," I describe a few ways to do just that.

Ok, some not so good news: after letting the system remain online for about 6 hours and doing some internet browsing, the system hung. When I attempted to reboot it, I received a boot drive failure. I unplugged and plugged the drive back in, and basically, I received a message stating that Windows couldn't start and it wanted me to load repair files from my installation disc.
I think it's safe to say that the disc was probably bad. What was strange was how it could go bad after working in my previous system roughly a month ago when I first got this new system. Also, the drive did pass the diagnostic tests.
I'll see if I can purchase a new drive tomorrow.

Hey guys,
Just as an update, I had the guy the shop put in a new mobo. After getting it in and reloading Windows 7 along with drivers and several apps, I received the same issue. I ran verifier.exe and the machine kept BSOD'ing on some sort of driver file. I was able to use system restore and install the debugging tools and according to the analysis of the dump, it appears to be an Avast system file that was causing the BSOD on boot at least.
Consistently, throughout this ordeal, I have been loading Avast each time, so it's possible that it could be the culprit. I think it's safe to say after getting every part replaced in the machine at some point including a new motherboard set up recently, that it was probably some sort of driver causing my random reboots. I ended up switching over to Norton after doing a system restore to an earlier point.
Anyways, here is the text from the analysis of the dump:

windows 7
I am book marking this page. I also have this problem, although mine is a bit different.
I have the infamous gigabyte motherboard that doesn't like to wake from sleep (it will continuously cause my dvd roms to activate and won't post until I unplug the machine for 30 seconds physically).
My problem stems from when I am away from my computer. I have turned off sleep on the computer but it has been restarting randomly when I'm not using it.
I have yet to do diagnostics or repair because I had to have windows 7 installed by campus IT (they only sell the upgradeable version which is obnoxious in the amount of bugs it caused, so I have walk my computer to get it installed).
I have yet to find defects in hardware. The drives, memory, board (no blown caps), roms, cpu, gpu all test out fine.
I really don't think this problem is related to hardware problems per say, just windows 7 communication problems with hardware.
Anyone know if there is a way to run a repair of windows without a Windows 7 cd?

Hey guys,
It's been close to a week and I haven't had a single random restart yet. I have a feeling that the cause of my problem was most likely Avast and the driver associated with that application. After removing it completely and switching to Norton, there have been no issues.
Should this reoccur, I will post that full minidump.

Apple, publishers and ebook pricing – what does it all mean?
How can you compare this to Microsoft!!! It makes no sense -- none -- whatsoever.
Microsoft owns the copyrights to Windows and the related interconnected software stack to which there is no interoperable substitute software due to trade secrets, on the spot updates, and copyright restrictions on reverse engineering and on selling and distribution. And all nonMS PC apps require a functional Windows underneath. Where a pseudo competitor can arise (despite Windows today being much more extensive than DOS ever was), the hopefully small but many differences give network effect advantage to the incumbent. In brief, it is very difficult to create a PC platform that goes around Microsoft or create an app that sells widely that doesn't defer to Microsoft in various ways. In fact, without the Microsoft antitrust, it's almost certain software today would be very different. Microsoft would own most of it, and they would have broken the web (embraced, extended, extinguished).
Amazon, in very sharp contrast, most certainly does not own books and reading material. Exception exhibit number one, the Register. In fact, Amazon hardly owns copyright as a fraction of the total "consumed" by consumers and in any case would have to buy such rights at huge expense (and will never own near all of it). Additionally, Amazon does not come close to owning the distribution channel. Exhibit number one, that the Register didn't have to pay a dime or require any permission for their work to reach me. It's easy to sell off a website. And last I checked, stories didn't require compatibility with Amazon's framework [Note the contrast to software where it is easy to sell off any website, but the product must still play by Windows rules and compete against Microsoft competition.]
Linux kernel cured of remote panic-attack bug
Open vs closed development
Linux developers (or anyone else) announce the bugs. It helps improve the system faster and get the fix out fast. If you don't get to a bug someone else will. There is lots of peer review.
Microsoft and other vendors keep quiet for as long as possible about old bugs and new bugs just introduced. The bugs take their toll when malware damages your files or privacy AND you find out about it.
When you develop in the open, you are forced to come clean and not cut corners else you get called on it as soon as someone realizes.
Linux development also means most distros have some vulnerability or other at any given point in time, but in each case it's a different set. It's a lot more expensive to target Linux as a platform because there are many variations out there (not to mention that a would-be attacker is competing with a whole lot of people that are also watching).
Attackers with money (or a dirty scheme) can always try to buy off from disgruntled Microsoft developers and contractors for secrets, but you can't really buy off what everyone already knows and is forced to keep as clean as possible.
Linux development frequently gets contributions from enthusiastic people very motivated and learned on the product rather than being limited to getting contributions exclusively from mostly the same group of people, some of whom go to work for the money (put in 40 hours of work) and worry more about keeping their nose out of trouble than about doing the best job possible and creating waves or issues.
Linux allows for a path for experimentation/creativity and great feedback without disrupting conservative users.
Open vs. closed development: contributing on your own terms and knowing you will have many reviewers (frequently friendly reviewers) vs. cutting corners in the dark as necessary in order to meet profit goals.
Microsoft keeps secrets from you about your own computer. Linux does not.
So despite Microsoft's well documented dirty play, huge monopoly levers, track record of destroying competitors, etc, Linux continues to get stronger while Microsoft struggles a little more each day. In fact, Google is healthy because of Linux and open source. Stock markets, the Internet, supercomputer users, and many others shun Windows in favor of speedier and more reliable Linux. The Linux desktop keeps improving despite the risks some companies have taken by upsetting Microsoft in order to open specs to Linux.
And did I mention Linux (in any flavor) is $0 for life?

Chubby Has Her Pussy Stuffed – Sunshine – Hot Pie Fat Sluts
chubby has her pussy stuffed
chubby has her pussy stuffed
We hope you're hungry, because Sunshine wants to show you how good her pie is. Her key lime pie. Yes, she has a real one in addition to the fuzzy pie between her legs. The cute plumper dips her huge funbags into the pie and makes her boytoy suck it off. It tastes even sweeter when it's on her titties. They go back to his place and now Sunshine is sucking creamy pie off a body part. A big, hard cock to be specific. By then they've both had enough of the key lime pie. It's time for Sunshine's cherry pie. She rides the cock while her boobies bounce and clap and then gets a load on her boobs and face.
