You weren't planning on your week turning out quite like this. You had other ideas and expectations. You have had to adjust to new realities and to accept that old burdens may not be quite as quick and easy to free yourself from as you might have hoped. Life, once more, presents you with the kind of choice that it fairly often raises for us all. You can either sit and fume about what seems to be unfair or you can adapt as gracefully as possible to the unavoidable and find within it whatever small compensation it may hide!
Even top business executives sometimes have trouble when they get together for an important meeting. They start to draw up an agenda of what needs to be discussed - and in what order. Yet the topics for debate are so contentious, and they have such strong opinions about them, that they can hardly contain themselves from launching into an immediate expression of their view. A strict process must be adhered to today, if a sensible conversation about a sensitive matter is to actually be given a chance to happen.
You really have come here again to read your forecast, haven't you? I'm flattered. Wait till I tell all my colleagues in the astrological society about this. They won't believe me. 'What? You really got a visit from a Gemini when Mercury was conjunct Saturn? Did they come to hear your advice or to give you theirs?' You've got a lot to sort out and take command of now. Your willingness to seek counsel is commendable and can only ensure (as long as you ask the right people) that you reach the right decisions today.
When governments need to wage wars, national efforts are made to ensure a consensus of belief about the wickedness of the enemy and the sad unavoidability of drastic but necessary action. The longer the campaign continues, the more any argument to the contrary is perceived as a heresy. Yet don't the enemy also believe, just as profoundly and passionately, that they too are fighting for a just cause? There are two very different ways to see a situation now. Aren't you entitled just to believe what suits you best?
Did Karl Marx say that 'religion is the opium of the masses' or did he describe it as the 'opium of the people?' We may never know, because he said it in German. Either way, he had a point. Deep faith can be a powerful anaesthetic. Sincere belief can render the most unpleasant experience at least briefly palatable. It can also be a justification for inaction. 'I can't fix this but I won't worry because I trust my deity to sort it out.' Yet there are times when, if we truly can do nothing, we had best believe that nothing is the right thing to do!
Miguel de Cervantes wrote a wonderful book called Don Quixote in which the eponymous hero caught sight of 'thirty or forty windmills' in the distance. He described them to his friend Sancho as 'hulking giants' and announced his plan to 'do battle with them and slay them' saying 'with their spoils we should begin to be rich because this is a righteous war.' But they weren't giants; they were windmills. He really should have taken a bit more care before deciding that he had correctly identified his enemy. Do be careful today.
Young children like to watch familiar films and to read well-thumbed storybooks. They gain a sense of reassurance from repetition. There is comfort in that. But imagine how their lives would unfold if they were never encouraged to explore fresh territory. We all need, from time to time, to step out of our comfort zones and walk gingerly along the rickety footbridge that hangs between the clifftop of the known and the promontory of the new. Don't fear the apparent vast canyon that lies below. Don't even look at it. Just keep going.
When people go fishing, they lower their lines into the water and bait their hooks as best they can. But even those who have the most experience in this activity never set out to find just one particular, specific fish. They know that they must work with whatever the river sends their way. The prize they actually reel in then becomes the catch they had been hoping for all along. Be wary, today, of too many preconceived ideas about what 'ought' to be happening. What is occurring most naturally may well be perfect.
You have cleverly and carefully prepared for one eventuality. Now, you are being beset by a very different set of intense and immediate challenges. How annoying. If only you had known what you were going to be up against, you might have made arrangements accordingly. Why didn't your astrologer warn you, if he's so clever? Because he knew what you are about to remember. That you were born blessed with such an ability to think on your feet and fly by the seat of your pants, that you will easily adapt and succeed.
None of us like to feel that the world we thought we knew and understood so well is somehow different. Even if a surprise is pleasant and positive, we can feel a little cheated or perhaps, ashamed, as if we cannot believe that we have been so silly in making an assumption. Such reactions are entirely understandable, and there is not much point in indulging in them, especially when we have the opportunity to appreciate, even revel in, the new perspective. Don't resist the realisation that you are being blessed with now.
Not all dialogue is verbal - as many students of body language will confirm. Indeed, even when two people are not in a physical position from which they can observe each other, they may still take actions in response to the actions that they know - or suspect - or have heard that the another person has taken. Generally, the greater psychological distance over which process of communication takes place, the more polarised each previous response becomes. Could an intermediary facilitate a more constructive exchange today?
Once we make an association, it becomes difficult to effect a separation. We can't stop linking an event or an experience to the other circumstances that were prevalent at the moment when a dramatic impression was made on our mind. No matter how we try to persuade ourselves that there is no connection, how can we hope to retrain our brains? Yet if we don't, might we spend the whole of the rest of our lives wrestling with unfair prejudices or unreasonable expectations? A clearer view opens up for you today.

Free Education News – Come Back Mr. Chips: Why Male Teacher Rates Are At A 40-Year Low
When numerous fellow teachers asked Josh Holt to mentor their students last year at Heber Hunt Elementary in Sedalia, MO Holt initially felt a burst of pride.
It was his first year at the school teaching health and PE, and he hoped that he had impressed his senior colleagues.
But looking around the school, Holt realized there was a simpler reason teachers and even parents asked him to be a "buddy" in the school's program for at-risk kids: he was born with a Y chromosome.
"The principal is the only other guy in the school," says Holt, 24. "Some of these kids don't have any men in their lives, and they really need a male role model." That is increasingly difficult to find in American classrooms.
According to the National Education Association, the number of male schoolteachers is hovering at a 40-year low. Only one quarter of our 3 million teachers are men. In elementary schools, the problem is more acute—just 9 percent are men, down from 18 percent in 1981.
Although the feminization of the teaching profession has been underway since the 1890s, school administrators say it's becoming a more salient issue as boys fall behind girls in graduation rates and demonstrate more difficulties with reading and writing.
There are several reasons many men find it difficult to enter, and stay in, the teaching profession: the starting salary for teachers is about $30,000, and less in early education. To view the complete article, click here.

Darling.I just find it a bit odd that people want to give her names. She obviously meant something to these people (and they meant something to her), but what exactly that is isn't clear at the moment. Would she take Eglamore's name if he asked?

I'm not sure she would need to take Eglamore's name, nowadays, if the taking of names is associated with taking a new background and history.

Euo will do!Agreed. She's in the Court, now. <shrugs> I'd guess they're rather better at dealing with far stranger things than her not ageing, so she probably wouldn't need a new name for hiding reasons as long as she stays there.

I'd have expected the Court to be significantly older than that. Even though it had robots. The timeline seems to imply that Gunnerkrigg Court takes place in the present day, but the woods had to be settled first, then the court founded. Then Diego had to have time to grow very old and die, which would probably be a good forty or fifty years after Jeanne did at the least. He looked old and she died fairly young. After that, enough time passes that records are lost and nobody really remembers what happened anymore. Finally, Surma shows up.

Euo will do!Nothing says Jones managed to keep hold of the land, mate. We've just seen that she did have a period where she slipped up. I like the idea that one of Jones' previous "identities" provided the spot for the Court to start up (or whatever it is that the Seed of Bismuth did). It doesn't' have to be the C18th one with the pretty pink dress.

No, I mean, by this point the Court should already be around. The post made it sound like the Court will be built on this ground.
12047 Game Chainsaw, Mon, 15th Oct '12 6:54:18 AM from sunshine and rainbows!
The Shadows Devour You.I'd also note that Jones swore to carry Edward's name for as long as she was able. I get the impression Jones wouldn't take a new name unless forced to.

Be humble in the world of wisdom. Before criticizing anybody, look into the fact from all directions, from all angles, from all possible viewpoints, and you will be surprised: there is very little that can be criticized or complained about. And if you pay that much attention, then whatever you criticize will be accepted, and accepted with gratitude because it is not to fulfill your ego; it is just to help the other person on the path. But you have to do so much work.
One of my professors had written his doctoral thesis on Shankara and Bradley. I told him, "I have read the thesis, and now I am studying everything possible about Shankara and Bradley before I say anything about your thesis."
He said, "You are strange, because I have given my thesis to many professors and they have all given their opinions."
I said, "I cannot give you my opinion in such a cheap way. I will look at all the sources you have looked into; I will look into other sources that you have not looked into." And it took me almost six months to study Shankara and Bradley.
When I gave my opinion to him he said, "My God, it is good that you were not one of my examiners; otherwise, I would never have been able to get the doctorate. I worked on it for six years, and in six months you have gone through all the sources that I have referred to. You have even gone to other sources which I have not even heard of."
I said, "Your treatise is juvenile, it is written by an amateur. Shankara and Bradley are very mature philosophers of the East and West. You have not paid enough respect to these two geniuses. You have done a clerical job. You have looked at a few books of Shankara, a few books of Bradley, taken a few pieces from here, from there, and your thesis was ready. Your thesis does not contribute a single original point. And unless a thesis contributes an original point, it does not deserve a doctorate; it is at the most a beautiful essay. You can publish it as a book, but not for a doctorate."
But he was a humble man; he accepted it. He said, "You are right. I myself was feeling that I had not done them justice. Six years were not enough to cover Bradley's whole life and Shankara's whole life. These two are the very highest peaks of genius; six years are not enough. But nobody pointed it out to me, not even my examiners. The examiners will not point it out because to do that they would have had to read it, they would have had to go through the whole thing. Who bothers? In fact, perhaps some of their students gave me the marks and the examiners have not even looked at the thesis."

for some matrix A = [amn] (which must be symmetric and have a single positive eigenvalue), then the Fisher ideal index (8) is exact in the sense that if we calculated the cost function associated with (29) and used it to calculate the COLIs (18), (19) or (24), we would obtain (8) (Byushgens, 1925). If the matrix A has an inverse B, say, the cost function associated with (29) takes the form
(If A is not invertible, (30) will still lead to the Fisher ideal index.) The demand functions associated with equation (30) can be written in the form
The remarkable thing about this result is not that it is possible to find a cost function and a set of demand functions that justify a given price index, but the fact that the result is so general. Although preferences (29) are homothetic—and indeed we can see directly from (30) that the cost function is the product of utility and a function of prices, or from (31) that the shares of the budget pnqn/x are independent of x—the matrices A and B are not specified, except that they must be symmetric and have a single nonnegative eigenvalue, a requirement that comes from the general theory of consumer demand and guarantees, among other things, that demand curves slope down. As a result, and always subject to homotheticity, the demand functions (31) allow the consumer to respond to price changes in a general way; the price elasticities of demand from (31) are unrestricted, except by the general restrictions of consumer theory. The Fisher ideal index is therefore exact for a set of preferences and demand functions that do not restrict substitution behavior in ways beyond that required for the theory. It therefore permits a way of computing a general cost-of-living index without having to estimate the demand functions.
Diewert (1976) extended and generalized these results. A particular specification of preferences, or of the cost function, is said to be a second-order flexible functional form if the utility (or cost) function can provide a second-order approximation to an arbitrary utility (or cost) function. A superlative price index is then one that is exact for some second-order flexible functional form for either the cost or utility function but with preferences restricted to be homothetic. Diewert showed that the utility and cost functions (29) and (30) are flexible for homothetic preferences, so that the Fisher ideal index is an example of a superlative index.

OLYMPIA — The Senate passed the supplemental budget Monday evening, joining the House in a spending plan that tries to fill an estimated $2.8 billion hole in the state's two-year operating budget.
On a 25-21 vote, it added its approval to the budget approved a few hours earlier across the Capitol.
Republicans, who were unanimous in their opposition, said the bill was being forced through without careful consideration, in the closing hours of the session, and has significant problems.
"Voting on a budget is a big decision," Sen. Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville said. "Those who are going to vote for it, have you read it?"
Sen. Mike Carrell, R-Lakewood, said the Legislature spent the month of a special session, figuring out how to raise taxes, not making any changes to a broken system.
Some Democrats also refused to support the budget. Sen. Rodney Tom of Bellevue said it doesn't grasp the reality of the economy, and sets up education to fail.
But Majority Leader Lisa Brown, D-Spokane, said the economy is cyclical, and when times are tough, the demand for state services go up. "Just when the gap opens up, we need it the most. Many things are going to cost more, but we did the right thing.."
The budget has cuts as well as tax increases, Brown said, and no one say it's perfect. "We are not a Legislature of 1. This job gets done by working together."
Sen. Cheryl Pflug, R-Maple Valley, an economic downturn is not the time to implement all day kindergarten or a major energy savings construction plan. "How can we say it suddenly became a crisis to add these programs?" It may not be a Legislature of 1, she added "but it is a Legislature of one party."

Do you find all these blogs about Windows Vista confusing? Here are some simple guidelines for the consumer getting ready to move to Vista.
Intel is more than making up for slower sales of enterprise servers due to consolidation and virtualization by selling processors, such as the Xeon 5100 (Woodcrest) and 5300 (Clovertown) series, for large-scale datacenters built by leading Internet portals. "In the last three months we have shipped more product into this segment than in the prior year," said Tom Kilroy, vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group.
THe LAPD is working on an ambitious data exchange program with other law enforcement agencies in Southern California. Not surprisingly, politics is the biggest hurdle.
According to Variety YouTube has removed certain Oscar related videos. The rub: They are all back.

Android 4.1 'Jelly Bean' hits 1.2 percent market share
Summary: While Android 2.3 'Gingerbread,' remains the most popular version, Android 4.1 'Jelly Bean' is making rapid, albeit overall modest progress.
Android updates remain painfully slow, almost glacial, in making their way to user's devices. However, it seems that the latest Android 4.1 release, codenamed 'Jelly Bean,' is seeing quite rapid, albeit overall modest adoption rates.
According to data collected by Google, based on devices accessing the Google Play store within a 14-day period up to September 4, the new Android version is now installed on 1.2 percent of devices accessing Google's app store.
Android 4.1 'Jelly Bean' was officially unveiled at Google's I/O conference on June 27, and was released as an over-the-air update for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on July 11, and was preinstalled on the Nexus 7 tablet, which has been making its way to enthusiastic consumers since mid-July.
While Google doesn't break down the data based on devices, it is likely that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone and the Nexus 7 tablet make up the bulk of these devices running 'Jelly Bean.'
Comparing this latest data to that collected in the 14 days up to August 1 we find that apart from 'Jelly Bean,' which was at 0.8 percent, only Android 4.0 'Ice Cream Sandwich' has gained ground, up 5.0 percentage points.
All other versions of Android are in slow decline.
The most popular Android version continues to be Android 2.3 'Gingerbread' with a 57.2 percent market share on Google's app store. This version was first released December 2010 and last updated September 2011.

Hamburg loses rag with Facebook, threatens to sue
I would agree, but then again...
... no you don't.
Just back up your stuff, cancel your account and move to another platform. Nobody forces anyone to use Arsebook.
The positive side effect of opting out entirely would be:
1) it's the only way they get the message as they don't give a rats ass about what YOU want
2) it's the only measure you have as your participation is the only thing they care about
3) you might actually get a real life back
US doctors demand right to advise on gun ownership
Why restraining a doctor from asking those question?
Why would those be different than any other advice on household safety? Ask yourself who has an interest in not educating, not warning, not discouraging people from owning guns, and what their motive is...
I would never consider raising my kids in a society where the open display of firearms in public is tolerated. 'nuff said.
To the author of the article: How many ballistic dick extensions do you keep at home? Feels good?
And yes, it is very much the duty of a responsible general physicist to take a holistic view on safety and health, not just apply bandages and subscribe pills.
Hacktivists pose growing threat to industrial computing
Assumptions, or what they want to make us believe...
1. Hackers have no scruples, moral values, are not human enough to have a sense of right or wrong.
2. Hackers have no agenda, no purpose in life and do all that hacking to give their sorry excuse for a life some kind on meaning.
3. Hackers are detached from reality, thinking in some secret programming language and unable to have real social contacts.
4 Hackers take pure pleasure in destroying stuff for no obvious reason.
Wake up, everyone!! Every social group has a statistic amount of idiots, and those are usually exploited to discredit the whole group. If "the authorities" would get their minds around the idea that above assumptions are plain wrong, give the more serious parts of hacker groups some credit for their expertize (and good intentions), and gained the trust of at least a few members the benefits would be mutual. But I am afraid there is too much pride to swallow on both sides, right?
It's easier to manipulate opinion in a direction where "hacker" equals "terrorist" similar as is done with the term "activist". "If you can't control it, destroy it..."; "If they talk back, destroy them..."
And in the other corner to brandish everything close to any government as evil and corrupted, and worth fighting no matter what.
When do you mentally mature enough to get over the state of a stubborn, over opinionated, rebellious teenager thrashed around by early puberty. Damn it! Both of you!
Fact check clears Czech in botnet case
Really appreciate the effort...
... as long as the right guys get a thrashing and not the first best in any way involved they get their hands on.
MS has a long way to go to earn credit as bonafide security player, but they IMHO are on a good track. Really hope they don't blow it.
Fighting cyber crime will get increasingly difficult if the biggest players are not pulling in the right direction.
Quote of the Week: 'Phone bills shouldn't cost more than the rent'
"Most people" actually pay attention to advertising...
... which will tell you only the bright side of things and lets you find out the flip sides by yourself.
And your approach is sooo 90ties ;-P
I at least use a device that does everything at once (called a smartphone), and use it a lot. In the EU operators have to cap roaming costs at 50€ and send you a warning when you reach the cap. Then you have to explicitly approve additional costs and be told what they are. So no surprises possible. Only for what comes after that I would in parts agree with you.
Can we get a "medieval tech" Icon?
After hack nightmare, Sony bars lawsuits with new TOS
REAL names, adresses etc.?
Who is stupid enough to buy a game console and add his real personal data? What for?
I have two aliases I use for all purposes where my real personal data is irrelevant, say where no transfer of money or rights occurs.
And that is 99% of all cases!
As you cannot trust in most security implementations of online services "out there" that is the easiest and best possible damage control I can think of.
Go hack my account. That one? Not my account! :-P
China mulls further social-network controls
Double Standards?
"Unless administration is vigorous (...) others could manipulate public sentiment by manufacturing bogus opinion on the internet, (...)."
"This is alone our privilege!"
Facebook deletes hacked Pages, destroying years of work
I still don't get the outrage...
If you really make yourself dependent in any ways of Arsebook you don't deserve better than to be screwed.
It's a nice extra to whatever you do, a little vanity you can grant yourself, but keep it on such a level that you
A) can perfectly fine live without it
B) nothing you publish couldn't be written on a billboard on your capitals main square
C) your backup plan ensures you reach everyone you have been in contact with via Arsebook to explain whats going on if someone does things in your name you wouldn't
Only then you will be save.
And same rules apply to all social media platforms and the internet per se!
"Arsebook" and "security" can only coexist in the same sentence in the immediate presence of a negation, or if meant as a joke....
(Same applies to "Internet" and "privacy"...)
You might want to think that everybody should have understood this much by now.
comScore sued over 'sinister' data collection methods
There's a sucker born every minute...
'nuff said.
What bugs me more than someone exploiting this fact is that there is no law that prevents this.
A salesman that enters my home uninvited or even puts a shoe in the door has broken a law and knows it.
If I buy a baby phone with video surveillance (yep, that exists really...) and the company selling it syphons of the whole video and audio feed, for quality insurance or whatever reason they claim, will be sued into oblivion.
If someone hides in a contract a clause that obliges the signer to things that have no relevance to the main contract the clause will be ruled invalid.
But your computer obviously is not considered "private space" per se. Nobody is willing to apply rules based on the same moral standards to your computer and the inherent "cyber property" than is applied to your other, "real world" property.
So installing spyware on my computer bundled with a totally unrelated, necessary tool or service and obscuring this fact enough that the intent to fool me is obvious, stealing data I never would give up voluntarily (else they would just ask!) and selling it to other businesses that use said data to harass me with unsolicited shite is obviously not a crime.
After all, If you are stupid enough to fall for it, nana nana na-na.
And right there's your solution. Educate your family and friends, spread the word. Its all you can do.
Until the old generation of "law makers" and "law keepers", for which simply using a computer is already a challenge and that simply won't learn enough to see the whole picture anymore, has stepped down this will not change. Give it 15 years or so until most of them are replaced with a generation that has never seen a world without computers (and can't even imagine it), and things will be different.
... just not sure exactly HOW different.
Innocent passengers targeted to protest subway agency
Hacking can very well be seen as a terrorist act...
... if its purpose is to disrupt vital infrastructure.
Blowing up a bridge is a terrorist act even if nobody get physically hurt, sabotaging power lines is a terrorist act, disrupting the water supply, or jamming purposefully a significant portion of the mobile network.
I do agree that governments tend to abuse the term "terrorism" as well as the fear from it to support parts of their agenda that otherwise don't go down well with the public.
I also agree that the most obvious abuse is to call any kind of anti government protest "terrorism", and that extend to aggressive or disruptive actions, although I do despise violent protest. Chaining yourself to a train to prevent it from departing is NOT a terrorist act, throwing stones at police officers, albeit not justifiable, neither.
The line between "protest with violent tendencies" are blurry and defined by common sense at best- but one truth is undeniable: Violence is not equal to bloodshed!
And BTW, hacking is as much a peaceful act as smashing a phone booth window, jacking a car or pouring poison into your neighbors fish pond...
Unless it happens as preventive security measure with the consent of the attacked,
its vandalism at best, usually simply a crime, and can be terrorism at worst.
Bradley Manning accuser to meet with prosecutors
What still pisses me off ...
... is that the whistle blower following his conscious and acting in the name of truth, justice and the rules of the Geneva Convention is charged totally out of proportion like a high profile criminal, next to mobsters and mass murderers, while the actual crimes he uncovered go without consequences.
And that the international community is not crying 'foul' over it, the whole issue has become "old news", something for which to watch from a distance how it might play out.
And what the hell is an "Ex-Hacker"? Did he get charged, served a sentence and repented for his crimes to deserve the "ex-" suffix?
But the message to the public this case sends is loud and clear: you cross us and we turn your life into a living hell, you work with us and everything can be forgiven (accept if you crossed us before).
Wheres a "Hitler" or "Stalin" icon when you need one...
Journo was arrested, says Qld cop
Re: "ethical hacking" We need it.
Yes, we absolutely do!
But we cannot underestimate the importance or exaggerate the execution of the "ethical" bit.
That is exactly where that %//(&&§ failed. There is no way you access someone's protected or assumed private data, also not for demonstration purposes, without this persons explicit consent.
This guy was driven by petty personal motives (Pictures of rival's wife, remember?), so his integrity seems to leave wanting. Which should exclude him from staring in any convention and rids him of every claim for respect.
IPCC report: Renewables can never meet energy demand
"The day the earth stood still"
Mediocre movie, still fun. Anyways, remember the ending? The whole world without technology, no electricity, no engines.
Just ask yourself if we would be able to survive in such a scenario. Then look at us now, measure the gap, and use that as measure to put things into proportion.
There is always a way, and it is on neither side of the extremes. Moderation and balance are the natural state of everything, and every exception is just a step towards it.
Aussie synchrotron in doubt after Victoria pulls funding
we should get the priorities right
Any cent paid for scientific, peaceful research, no mater how "useless" it might seem at the time, is 100 times better than a cent paid for military equipment, even military inspired technology research.
And the budget spend WORLDWIDE for all scientific research on all levels together, including big installation like the LHC, are a fraction of what the largest nations spend in military budget EACH.
When single persons have the power direct such large sums of money according to their personal preferences and believe regardless the wider impact on the common good you KNOW something stinks in the land on Denmark.
Then again, every nation has a government no better than they deserve... :-P
And yes, there is a lot of tax money wasted everywhere for entertainment of the "panem et circensis" variety, for which we pay another premium in healthcare costs (apart from common believe watching sports has NO positive effect on your physiology- and the protagonists' achievements are NOT yours!).
Assange: Facebook a 'spying machine'
Not anyone can read my facebook page
That's what YOU think! :-P
Good one!
You almost got me there for a moment. While we all know that this is not far from the truth.
Not using Arsebooke at all....
... but my wife does.
Personally I am not willing to drop my pants in front of the whole internet community. Especially not as long as I don't trust Arsebook's security policy. That company is totally incompetent to develop decent code, and I don't trust it's integrity either.
Your privacy against a good standing with the authorities? Take a guess.
But that's just little tinfoil hatter me. There is basically nothing wrong with sharing your whole life on the internet- as long as you censor it a bit ;-) Everyone has full control over what they share and what not, and if you think that your life is really that interesting to the rest of the world, be my guest. What people fail to see is that there is:
Never was, never will be! Once you have understood this, go ahead and share whatever you like!
I am aware that there is a wealth of information about me all over the internet, indirectly through my wife's Facebook account, in this forum, and in many other places. Its inevitable if you work in IT and have public appearances over many years.
If "the powers that be" want to frame you on something they will succeed anyways. If a government goes rogue your Facebook account is your least concern.
This whole paranoia thing is like jealousy in marriage. As long as there is no reason the whole thing is ridiculous, immature and unfair to the other side. If there is a reason its too late to worry, and its time to take consequences. But apart from staying decent and not causing a situation yourself there is very little you can do to avoid it. You will have to cross that bridge once you reach it, so you might as well ditch irrational paranoia and just live your life.
P.S: This is not an appeal to neglect ones social and political responsibilities! But in my experience the biggest conspiracy theorists and other paranoia addicts are the least active where it matters and don't even try to make a constructive change to anything.
One third of Russians say Sun revolves round Earth
Another clichee
that holds a good amount of truth also about the standard education and attitude of your average US Joe, plus:
- the world is ~7000 years old, that is when God created it according to the Bible
- all humans are descendants of Adam and Eve
- if you are not with Jesus you will be damned for eternity when the world ends
- all Muslims are evil killers because their religion demands it
- all Asians are little, peculiar, and look the same
- everyone is born with the same chances, everywhere
- being gay is a choice and is immoral
(others think its a mental disease)
- outside of the united states is "the frontier", everywhere
- if you want something and the owner is not giving it to you he is your enemy and has to be forced to it
(its called "defending national interests")
- all your enemies deserve to be fought into submission, always
- Europe is a country
- so is Asia
- and Africa
... the list goes on endlessly.
And I am sure everyone can come up with a similar list about just anyone.
... looking for the one with the library card in the pocket.
Lawyer wants WikiLeaker kept off suicide watch
How exactly...
... does this NOT amount to torture?
Puzzled, but not surprised...
Feds subpoena Twitter for info on WikiLeaks backer
1st - You can post almost anything you want on Twitter (with rare exceptions). Its called freedom of speech.
2nd - Not agreeing with a government, even attacking your government openly for perceived misconduct, is not a crime if you don't break a law doing so- unless you live in a fascist or otherwise totalitarian country. It's called executing your democratic rights, and responsible journalism.
3rd - Anything you say on twitter is public. Anyone who followed that person from the start does have that information already (or don't they?). In fact, anything you say or do on the internet is as public as doing in the middle of Trafalgar square.
4th - Governments do have certain rights and possibilities if they are manifested in that countries law. The question is with which intention it does make use of them- and if the populace has a chance to change those rights if there is a majority for it. It doesn't get more democratic than that.
So the problem is not the government getting information illegally. It is totally legal for the government to obtain this information.
It is also not the possibility that it may find something incriminating as that person has the right to say whatever she wants. And even to do, again as long as she doesn't break any law in the country she moves about.
The problem is a government intimidating and bullying "annoying" people by raiding their homes and confiscating their property (journalists computers seized), harassing them with prolonged and exaggerated use of administrative procedures (security consultants detained, searched and questioned at airports), and sending them 'messages' by intruding into peoples privacy just to show they can (this case).
The message between the lines is: we have the power, you have no chance against us.We know who you are, what you do and where to find you. You better be careful what you do and say, or else...
It's sad, and frankly frightening, to see just how far things have gone in the country that claims to be worlds safe guardian for freedom and democracy.
Assange 'threatened to sue' Grauniad over leak of WikiLeak
If Wikilewaks is to survive
... they first have to get get rid of their biggest liability: Assange himself.
The guy is he best thing that could happen to Wikileaks enemies. He has all of the telltale signs of a psychopath, and his narcissism and greed have the potential to destroy Wikileaks.
The ignorance and arrogance of his "I am Wikileaks" attitude! Wikileaks is an idea, born from some of the most democratic ideas there are:
that a government has no right to have secrets from its people
has no right to act against its peoples will,
and can only survive if the leading parties are in constructive competition with a healthy and respected opposition.
Wikileaks is a safeguard of democracy, not it's enemy. That is why it is so important and has to survive.
Assange, on the other hand, would have left Wikileaks in reaction to the scandals around his person long ago if he really would believe in the ideals of Wikileaks and not only his own benefit. Even most politicians show more decency and guts than this guy...
Ford cars get draconian parental controls
RE: "Make him buy his car AND pay for the insurance for it "
Joke Alert misplaced.
This is how it was in my childhood. My banger, bought with my money -my parents made sure I spend a minimum amount of free time and the occasional week or two during holidays earning it myself with carrying newspapers or taking summer jobs. My responsibility - didn't have to ask if I can paint it, strip pit or burn it (although I never would have). And yes, it didn't have the power to speed much, but it was MINE! :-D
And that is exactly how i will handle I when my youngsters grow to that age. I _maybe_ might sponsor their first banger a bit if I see they make an honest effort, but if I can't trust them by then to be responsible enough not to hurt themselves and others, plus won't have the cool to turn half a blind eye to that little craziness we all were entitled to at that age...
... I will have to admit to have utterly failed as a parent and return my parenting permit.
No extra child restraining technology should be needed here for anyone, really, if they did their job.
Whitehat cracks notorious rootkit wide open
RE: "Oh, We Are So Scared"
It's not that security researchers haven't been physically attacked by mobsters for impairing their "business" (like banking trojans etc), or the data centers of ISPs burned down for refusing to host their "services".
Don't be mistaken, we are talking serious bad asses here...
Fail yourself, Pink Slip
If that stuff is designed sector based it lives beyond any file system. It creates its on volumes and file system that look like broken sectors and are ignored even by oh so glorious Linux. Still it runs...
Can't be done? If you say so...
