Outrage as aid effort is attacked and activists die; dozens injured in violent clash.
May 31, 2010 3:00 by Samuel Potter
A deadly Israeli raid on a Gaza bound aid flotilla has sparked outrage, reports Gulf News.
The paper says both foes and allies have turned on Israel after ten people were killed in today's commando raid. The battle at sea took place between Israeli naval commandos and pro-Palestinian activists, and has resulted in the deaths of at least ten activists and injuries to dozens more.
The incident has engulfed Israel in a war of words with Turkey, says the Guardian, which quotes the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, as describing the storming of the flotilla as a "massacre." The Palestinian chief negotiator, Saeb Erekat, described it as a "war crime," says the paper. It anticipates a coming international diplomatic crisis and angry demonstrations across Israel, Palestinian territories and Turkey.
Meanwhile UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he was "shocked" by the raid and demanded the Jewish state conduct a full investigation.
The flotilla was carrying around 650 activists and 10,000 tonnes of aid, says the Guardian, including medical supplies and construction materials. The aim was to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza, "which has been rigorously enforced for the past three years."

-- Sour Cream & Jive(TM), crispy potatoes seasoned with just the right amount of sour cream and chive flavoring.
An 0wnz0red glossary
haxor (also H4X0R): hacker.Link Discuss (Thanks, Joey!)
X0R is often used as the suffix "-er"; for instance "fucker" becomes "fuX0r" in 1337speak. Often a 1337speak noun ending in X0R becomes a present tense verb when followed by "s" or "z" or a past tense verb when followed by "ed". For instance, "this beer sucks" becomes "this beer sux0rz" (or, if you really want to go whole-hog, "+|-|1z b33R sUx0rz".
0wnz0red: owned, which means "screwed over". If someone has cracked your computer's security and taken it over or beaten you in a game of Quake, that person has 0wned (or 0wnz0red) you.
Note that this is different from the term 0wns (owns), which means "is very good" or "rules". An example: "I love my new computer! It 0wns!"
pr0n: porn. "pron" is a common typo that eventually got accepted as a synonym for porn; it then was made more 1337 by turning the "o" into a zero.

Coin-operated convenience store
This machine, the Shop 2000, is the only one operating in America. Some locals call it an eyesore, but others are happily posing for photos in front of it, and in its second week of operation, more than a few people are feeding it their cash and credit cards. If the test in Washington goes well, its manufacturer predicts a new era in convenience for Americans, as do rivals working on similar machines.Link Discuss (via /.)
These kiosks, known as automated convenience stores (a better name might be RoboShop), are similar to multipurpose vending machines already operating in Japan and some cities in the Netherlands, Belgium and other European countries where labor is expensive and real estate is scarce. Those constraints are now being felt by American retailers. A study by the National Association of Convenience Stores suggests that a shortage of labor will be one of the industry's biggest problems in coming years.

MP3 patent dirty pool gratifies Ogg Vorbis team
Thank you for providing the impetus for millions of people and hundreds of companies to give an open, free alternative a try. We love it when people get a chance to evaluate technology, and we've been happy to present them with a superior alternative to mp3. If it weren't for the removal of the free-decoder exemption, it might have taken even longer for people to try it out.Link Discuss (via Happiest Geek on Earth)
Thank you for setting a precedent in providing free technology until the world has become hooked on it, and then charging a lot of money afterwards. This isn't a new idea, but we're glad that you've taken a stand to ensure that this practice will continue as long as vested interests control patents on multimedia. We hope that you'll continue in this pattern with MPEG-4, since we'll be releasing a free MPEG-4 competitor next summer.

Vernor Vinge, The Collected Stories of Vernor VingeLink Discuss (Thanks, Jason!)
Author Appearance: Wednesday, August 28 @ 7 pm
Though perhaps best known for his Hugo Award-winning novels, Vernor Vinge began his career as a writer of short fiction more than 35 years ago. The Collected Stories of Vernor Vinge brings together the best of the author's challenging, visionary work, including such major pieces as "The Ungoverned" and "The Blabber." Vernor Vinge's 1981 work, "True Names," helped predict cyberspace and the Internet.

Prince on the music industry: "A Nation of Theives"
Something happened on the way 2 the 21st century.

People r noticing that something isn't quite right -- that something is indeed very wrong. After a decade during which the stock market gained apparent respectability as a legitimate, sensible 4m of investing, the recent slew of huge corporate scandals reveals that it is still what it has always been: a sick place where neurotic, puerile gamblers get their kicks off the backs of millions of "anonymous" workers and individuals, who have no control over what happens 2 their hard-earned retirement savings.

Last time around, we had 210 participants and all of the backend stuff was a lot of hard work. Then, we thought about having some sort of database developed to help with the registration/project management, but that has kind of fallen through the cracks.

Birth of Nerdc0re -- My novella on Salon
Ten years in the Valley, and all Murray Swain had to show for it was a spare tire, a bald patch, and a life that was friendless and empty and maggoty-rotten. His only ever California friend, Liam, had dwindled from a tubbaguts programmer-shaped potato to a living skeleton on his death-bed the year before, herpes blooms run riot over his skin and bones in the absence of any immunoresponse. The memorial service featured a framed photo of Liam at his graduation; his body was donated for medical science.Link Discuss
Liam's death really screwed things up for Murray. He'd gone into one of those clinical depression spirals that eventually afflicted all the aging bright young coders he'd known during his life in tech. He'd get misty in the morning over his second cup of coffee and by the midafternoon blood-sugar crash, he'd be weeping silently in his cubicle, clattering nonsensically at the keys to disguise the disgusting snuffling noises he made. His wastebasket overflowed with spent tissues and a rumor circulated among the evening cleaning-staff that he was a compulsive masturbator. The impossibility of the rumor was immediately apparent to all the other coders on his floor who, pr0n-hounds that they were, had explored the limits and extent of the censoring proxy that sat at the headwaters of the office network. Nevertheless, it was gleefully repeated in the collegial fratmosphere of his workplace and wags kept dumping their collections of conference-snarfed hotel-sized bottles of hand-lotion on his desk.
The number of bugs per line in Murray's code was 500 percent that of the overall company average. The QA people sometimes just sent his code back to him (From: firstname.lastname@example.com To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Your code... Body: ...sucks) rather than trying to get it to build and run. Three weeks after Liam died, Murray's team leader pulled his commit privileges on the CVS repository, which meant that he had to grovel with one of the other coders when he wanted to add his work to the project.
Two months after Liam died, Murray was put on probation.
Three months after Liam died, Murray was given two weeks' leave and an e-mail from HR with contact info for an in-plan shrink who could counsel him. The shrink recommended Cognitive Therapy, which he explained in detail, though all Murray remembered ten minutes after the session was that he'd have to do it every week for years, and the name reminded him of Cognitive Dissonance, which was the name of Liam's favorite stupid Orange County garage band.
Murray returned to Global Semiconductor's Mountain View headquarters after three more sessions with the shrink. He badged in at the front door, at the elevator, and on his floor, sat at his desk and badged in again on his PC. From: firstname.lastname@example.com To: email@example.com Subject: Welcome back! Come see me... Body: ...when you get in.
Tomas Vanya was Murray's team lead, and rated a glass office with a door. The blinds were closed, which meant: dead Murray walking. Murray closed the door behind him and sighed a huge heave of nauseated relief. He'd washed out of Silicon Valley and he could go home to Vancouver and live in his parents' basement and go salmon fishing on weekends with his high-school drinking buds. He didn't exactly love Global Semi, but shit, they were number three in a hot, competitive sector where Moore's Law drove the cost of microprocessors relentlessly downwards as their speed rocketed relentlessly skyward. They had four billion in the bank, a healthy share price, and his options were above water, unlike the poor fucks at Motorola, number four and falling. He'd washed out of the nearly-best, what the fuck, beat spending his prime years in Hongcouver writing government-standard code for the Ministry of Unbelievable Dullness.

Doonesbury runs for Congress
Mike Doonesbury and Charlie Pillsbury diverged sharply over the years. Doonesbury became a baby boomer caricature: a commune-dwelling liberal Democrat turned John Anderson independent turned Madison Avenue adman turned dot-com flameout. Along the way, he became a Republican. Pillsbury, meanwhile, worked on Eugene McCarthy's presidential campaign in 1968 and has never veered from his liberal devotions. He attended Boston University Law School and Yale Divinity School and has worked for a procession of do-gooder causes. For the last 12 years, Pillsbury has run Community Mediation, a New Haven agency that helps people and groups solve disputes out of court. He remained a Democrat until early this year, but became miffed when the Democrats "fell in lockstep" behind the Bush administration's military response to Sept. 11. This included dismay at DeLauro, whom Pillsbury calls a friend and whose campaigns he had reliably contributed to since her first successful run in 1990.Link Discuss (via Fark)
China issues genetic ID
This color genotype ID card, about twice the size of ordinary ID card, has on it data such as photo, birth date, nationality and gender. In particular it is marked with 18 internationally used genetic locus which are chosen from the long chain of human cytogenetic information carrier DNA molecules. In the combination of the 18 genetic locus, with the exception of one egg giving birth to twins, it is difficult for one to find out such a circumstance wherein two persons out of 10 billion people are completely the same.Link Discuss (Thanks, Greg!)
Hacktivism explained
Essentially what we're interested in is preserving various internet rights and freedoms. Many of those are defined by documents. If you go to the Hacktivismo website, there's something called the Hacktivismo Declaration on there that's more or less inspired by things like the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. What's kind of interesting about the Universal Declaration of Human rights is that it's a declaration, which means it doesn't have any binding authority; it's like a feel-good document. But the ICCPR is a statute. It is binding. [Laughs] I don't know who's ever been taken to the Hague as a result of violating the terms, but it is actually an enforcable document.Link Discuss (Thanks, Mark!)
Right now, I'm probably quoting that more and more. And interestingly enough, it's article nineteen of both of those documents that talks about what we call information rights -- the ability to access information, regardless of how that information might be transmitted, whether it's a newspaper on the internet or whatever. It's sort of an umbrella statement that covers all those things. We're specifically interested in maintaining the free flow of what we call lawfully-published content. Information could mean anything, it could mean your bank statements or it could mean kiddie porn or it could mean national security secrets. That's not the information we're talking about. We're essentially talking about any publicly available information on the web, that's available throughout the liberal democracies. So essentially anything we see, we think anybody else should have the right to see as well. Lots of governments disagree with this and that's why they have internet censorship.
Do you worry about the fact that if you provide people with these types of tools in countries that don't have the same democratic ideals or the same ideas of free speech, that the people who use your software might actually be harmed or imprisoned?

Walnut Creek HotelsThe lush and fertile grasslands and rolling hills of Walnut Creek have set it apart when it comes to experiencing the great outdoors, with numerous hiking trails, camping, and biking adventures to be found amount the emerald landscape. The city is also the main business hub in the area, so you'll find some great shopping here, and there's also a vibrant dining scene bursting with flavors, and all kinds of tempting cuisine, just waiting to be discovered by food fans.Things to seeShopping is very good in Walnut Creek in general, but the experience offered by Broadway Plaza is particularly refined. Shoppers mill around an elegant, cascading central fountain surrounded by preened bushes and plants, and the modern, but classic design of the center makes for a much more relaxing shopping experience in general, where you can take your time and enjoy the sights of the center itself. To compliment a day of relaxing shopping, spending a lazy afternoon wandering through the vivid colors of the Gardens at Heather Farm is highly recommended. The Gardens are a popular wedding venue thanks to the pristine beauty of the surroundings, but also offer education on gardening in general, so is especially interesting to those with green fingers. If you're on a family trip, then Lindsay Wildlife Museum is great for everyone, and kids can get involved with workshops to learn more about animals.Hotels in Walnut CreekThere's a good selection of Walnut Creek hotels, so there's plenty of affordable choices for families looking for outdoors breaks as well as business travelers. The higher end offerings come equipped with luxurious spas, crystal-clear pools, and bustling. Even some of the discount hotels in the area offer access to sparkling outdoor pools, although be aware that these are obviously seasonal. Most of hotels are also located in or very close to the major attractions of the city, so getting to attractions is easy. Where to stayStaying in the area around Treat Blvd is a popular choice for tourists of all stripes, thanks to the fact that most of the city's main attractions are very close by, such as the Heather Farm Gardens, with the city center a short distance away. Business travelers will probably prefer accommodation along North Main Street, especially the southern end which is closer to the city center and amenities. Those looking for outdoor adventures, or even a little romantic seclusion, can always opt for digs slightly outside of town, where there's easy access to the countryside, and also luxurious spa hotels. How to get to Walnut CreekIf you're flying in, then heading to Oakland International airport, if coming from overseas, is the closest destination. Alternatively, if you're flying domestically, there is a small regional airport, Bucchanan Field, in neighboring Concord that will be the perfect gateway to the city. If arriving in Oakland, hiring a car can be the best option, but there's also a shuttle train service that runs from Oakland and San Francisco into Walnut Creek. Once in the city, walking will normally be the best way to get around, as the downtown area is quite compact and attractions are generally close together.

Bet Kadokawa is regretting that Endless Eight debacle more now. Their latest comment was apparently "Well… All that can be said is that it would be nice if they sell, wouldn't it?". Shouldn't get their hopes up for breaking records with 4 discs of 2 of the same episodes. The true test of the otaku fan factor is coming up soon .
The BD numbers are interesting. Anime is carrying the flag. And since each unit is higher priced, could help turn revenue around, or at least slow losses, in the second half.

The Haruhi Endless Eight arc, with 8 eps of essentially the same episode over and over, caused quite a backlash amongst hardcore fans wanting to see more of the manga animated in season two. Kadokawa says they are going ahead with standard Japanese DVD volumes, meaning 2 eps per disc. So Japanese fans have to buy 4 separate discs if they want the complete series. To be seen if they will buy all, or will only buy some of them (Vol. 1 and 4 of the arc, for instance), or if any significant number truly abandoned the franchise entirely (having already mutilated their Haruhi figures )

Ah, I see. I can certainly see why some may be at the breaking point! Is KyoAni exempt from blame or has this been mostly Kadokawa's shenanigans? I don't think it would be all that hard to animate a legitimate, standard second season....

Yes, truly that's the only thing that matters here. Not the declining sales all the way around and how much trouble the anime industry is in, it's a thing that isn't even out yet.

|It doesn't really surprise me their going with a standard release, Japans not very big on change, even when what their doing is clearly failing. I really hope this comes back to bite them on the ass, then maybe the industry as a whole will realize they've got to make some serious changes to how they are marketing and distributing their products, because short of completely going broke, I can see any other way for them to finally get of their collective ass and do something about the tanking anime industry.

Today I learned a new word:
bellwether: From bell + wether, originally a sheep with a bell around its neck, that led a flock. A ewe may fill the role, but the word wether is specific to a castrated male sheep.
So.. are Otaku the wether, as they are unlikely ever to have children, or the sheep who follow blindly behind?

Ehhh, just a joke. Noticed Kadokawa's comment yesterday, first time they've admitted any negativity associated with Endless, and I've been following the Haruhi Endless drama with amusement. Though I was disappointed as well. I'm aware of the bigger issue.
I'm still most interested in the BD sales figures. It's a bright spot, say, if re-releases in BD would sell well. Who knows when number of units is going to bottom out and stabilize, but maybe the BDs will make up for fewer sales with higher revenue, and hopefully profit.
Plus this problem has been discussed to death. And I don't have an answer, nor have I heard one. I buy a lot of DVDs, or did until recently when there's less R1 to buy and less that interests me. Maybe that's the case generally in the market. Or that the bubble hasn't finished deflating. Or that the younger digital generations are comfortable with lower-quality streaming as an alternative, so aren't buying DVDs. Or fansubs won the war. Or, or...
I don't know myself. But more importantly, I hope the people who should know are getting a handle on it.
We'll never know who mentioned it first in a meeting, but Kadokawa would have the final decision. It's one of those ideas that could sound really brilliant in the bar after a few drinks, but should have died along with the brain cells.

|I wonder if someone from Japan can answer the question of if they import anime from America, 'cause it's WAY cheaper over here than over there, all they'd need is a region free player and to be able to read the English menu and set it in Japanese and turn off the subs, even though they DO get stuff sooner than we do.

This means that Japanese viewers unwilling to pay for their domestic releases are far more likely to download than they are to wait for the chance to reverse-import, does it not?
I'd like to assume the companies involved are aware of this trend and might start to reconsider their foreign business strategies, but my pessimism gets the better of me.

PHILADELPHIA -- Rookie quarterback Joe Webb played a far better game than anyone could have expected on Tuesday night in leading the Vikings to a 24-14 victory over the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.
But coach Leslie Frazier made it clear afterward that if veteran Brett Favre can pass his concussion test before Sunday's regular-season finale in Detroit that the future Hall of Famer will get the start.
"If Brett can go, Brett will be our quarterback for sure, if he were able to pass the concussion test," Frazier said. "So it wouldn't be an issue for me or our team if Brett were able to go."
Favre did not pass the test before Tuesday's game but he seemed in good spirits in the locker room afterward, joking with teammates and various members of the Vikings staff as he dressed.
Another player who now will have to pass the concussion exam will be wide receiver Sidney Rice, who was injured in the third quarter on a late hit by Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel. Frazier confirmed that Rice suffered a concussion and the fact this is a very short week for the Vikings won't help matters.
Meanwhile, Eagles quarterback Michael Vick suffered a quadriceps contusion on the first play of the game and he played like a guy who was hurt. Vick was intercepted once and lost two fumbles.
"I just tried to tolerate it throughout the game and I did," Vick said. "I have a strong will to win and I'll do anything to win a football game. I just tried to go out there and just get through it."

Defining Interoperability
For me, the term interoperability means how to bend 106-plus UNIX-type operating systems to work with Microsoft's proprietary, non-RFC-compliant, all-too-often frustrating systems. All the UNIX-type operating systems work together most seamlessly, thanks to their adherence to standards. But Microsoft's marketing strategy of "100% Microsoft" and their deliberate barriers to interoperability cause no end of anguish to system administrators, many of whom are of the opinion that "0% Microsoft" would be the best goal for sanity's sake. Meanwhile, Microsoft's hidden APIs are more hindrance than the moving target that is Linux. Thankfully, teams of programmers, like those working on Samba, have delivered us this interoperability successfully despite Microsoft's best efforts. But complete interoperability between Microsoft and Linux has a long way to go.
Freemoney www.freemoney.org
If your business is point of sale, with emphasis on sales of a large number of varied products, you might want to take a look at Freemoney. To preview this application, go to their home page and their preview page. While this accounting package is feature-rich, whether for web sales or in-store sales, setup needs a lot of work and better documentation. You won't be able to skip through this installation, but once installed, you will be pleased with its ease of use. Requires: interchange, web server, Perl, Perl modules: Bundle::Interchange, DBD::Pg, DBI & Schedule::At, PostgreSQL.
phpPgAdmin phppgadmin.sourceforge.net
If you know phpMyAdmin, then you know phpPgAdmin. This web-based PostgreSQL administration is a port of the very popular phpMyAdmin. It makes administration of Postgres a breeze. Installation is simple and straightforward, and you can set up the system to administer all the databases or just one. Requires: web server with PHP and PgSQL support, web browser, PostgreSQL.
TuxTyping www.geekcomix.com/dm/tuxtype
This program for children is a typing tutor. It features falling fish with letters that Tux the Penguin must run beneath and eat as they fall. For more advanced practice, you can substitute words (generally three-letter words) to accomplish the same thing. The graphics and game play are excellent diversions for children while they practice touch typing. Requires: libSDL, libSDL_image, libSDL_mixer, libm, libdl, libartsc, libpthread, libX11, libjpeg, libpng, libz, libtiff, libvorbisfile, libvorbis, libogg, libsmpeg, glibc.
The di utility, standing for disk information, will provide you with quite a bit of information about your hard disk. Most of the information mirrors what you get from the df utility, but not all. Lately, with the addition of ReiserFS and ext3 to the kernel (not to mention LVM), often I need to know what type of filesystem I'm dealing with. This information isn't provided by df, but di shows you this by default. The output format is also cleaner than df, especially on a system with the horribly long devfs naming scheme. Requires: glibc.
GnuLedger webaccountant.sourceforge.net
One of the biggest complaints I hear from folks who'd like to convert 100% to Linux is the lack of a personal financial system. Several good applications exist for business accounting, but few for personal accounting. I can think of three, but they all use a flat file database and only can be run locally. GnuLedger runs from a web browser, so it could be run from anywhere in the world (ideally using https). And because the data is held in MySQL, it's fast and can be queried easily without using GnuLedger if you know basic SQL. My only note about GnuLedger is that it (at least the version I downloaded and tested) had no accounting tables at all; they had to be created from scratch—not something your average home owner wants to deal with. A comprehensive set of tables properly linked for the average person would go a long way in helping GnuLedger along. Anyone want to donate a schema they're using? Requires: MySQL, web server, Perl, Perl modules: Number::Format, DBI, DBD::mysql, Math::Currency, Math::FixedPrecision.
hardmon www.fcoutant.freesurf.fr/hardmon.html
If you have a motherboard with supported sensors (mostly ASUS motherboards, but others are being added slowly), you can monitor your system's health (CPU temperature, etc.) graphically. Living in Panama, and particularly with systems in non-air-conditioned locations in the summer, this utility shows at a glance if the temperature is getting too high and a build or two needs to be aborted. Works on multiprocessor systems as well as single CPU systems. Requires: lm_sensors, libXpm, libX11, libm, glibc.
gFTP gftp.seul.org
This month's choice from three years ago was easy. This is the Burger King of FTP clients. It boasts both a text and graphical mode, and it can use FTP (passive or active), SSH, SFTP or HTTP for file transfers. It is threaded, so it allows for multiple simultaneous downloads, can queue downloads, transfer between two remote systems and much more. If you need to move files around a network, you need to take a look at this application. Requires: gftp-text: libglib, libnsl, glibc; gftp-gtk: libgtk, libgdk, libgmodule, libglib, libdl, libXext, libX11, libm, libpthread, glibc.
Until next month.

Hello, everyone!
Yesterday, my blue iD L arrived in the mail, and today, my Princess Spacy iD L came as well! Today, I connected the two toddlers and they played a game. I noticed that even though the toddler from the PS version lost the game, he still got 100 GP afterwards! A gold coin dropped into the brown Gotchi bag. I tried connecting them again several more times, and each time, it was the same thing! If the PS toddler lost, he would get 100 GP while the winning toddler from my blue iD L only got 30 for winning. Then, once, the PS toddler actually won, and he received the 30 GP. THEN, a gold coin dropped into his bag and gave him the 100 GP. AND THEN, the whole screen for both Tamas turned red and the Tamas appeared to be celebrating; this was then followed by both Tamas receiving 500 GP!
Now, I'm obviously not complaining because this is easy money, but does anyone have an explanation for this? I'd love to be able to duplicate this result for my blue iD L.
Thank you!

Each time you connect your Tamas together, their relationship "improves" from acquaintances to lovers (if opposite genders) or best friends (for same genders).
The extra money comes each time the relationship level goes up.
The extra money comes each time the relationship level goes up.

Oh, I see! But how come only Princess Spacy iD L receives the extra 100 GP each time they connect? Could it be just an extra feature that comes with that version?

Jacopo di Cione
influenced by Orcagna
Andrea Orcagna
The son of a goldsmith, Orcagna was the leading member of a family of painters, which included three younger brothers: Nardo (died 1365/66), Matteo, and Jacopo (died after 1398) di Cione. He matriculated in the Arte dei Medici e degli Speziali in 1343–44 and was admitted to the guild of stonemasons in 1352. In 1354 he contracted to paint an altarpiece for the Strozzi Chapel in the left...

The Legend of Diamond Lil: A J.J. Tully Mystery
HarperCollins, Feb 28, 2012 - Juvenile Fiction - 144 pages
After his last run-in with Vince the Funnel and the mystery of the missing chicks, J.J. the search-and-rescue dog is ready for some much-needed R & R. But just when he thinks he has everything under control, there's a new problem to worry about: Diamond Lil, a shiny new dog who's taken up residence next door. Suddenly Moosh and her chicks are spending an awful lot of time with their fancy friend, talking about weird things like fluffy feathers and good posture. And Lil's not the only new kid cramping J.J.'s style. There's a possum loose, and it's up to J.J. to keep everyone safe. But the questions keep piling up. Is Lil all that she seems? And how does the possum keep finding her way to the chicken coop?
In this hilarious follow-up to The Trouble with Chickens, the clues, plot twists, and one-liners add up to an unputdownable read.

So I liked Trouble with Chickens more than this one but I love the characters..so much so I have started reading the Chicken Squad series..which is about the chicks. This will still be an "adding to the collection at school" title, and I'm sure the kids will enjoy it. Read full review

PHA PSA: There's No Need to Worry About Friday's Asteroid Pass
It happens every time: an asteroid is slated to make a perfectly safe pass by Earth on its route around the Sun, like everyone else, but the tabloid "news" sites take the opportunity to start screaming bloody horror about the upcoming "near miss" and "terrified" NASA scientists etc. etc. It's awfully tiring and even more predictable than the asteroids' orbits themselves. I'd usually ignore such things except that they have the unfortunate side effect of actually 1. garnering a lot of attention, at least for a short period of time; and 2. scaring the bejeebers out of people who may not follow real space science news as much as I do. (Which is a lot of people.) So in an attempt to sort out any confusion I'll say for the record:
There is no need to worry about asteroid 2014 YB35. It will safely pass by Earth on March 27, 2015 at about 4.5 million kilometers, or 2.7 million miles… 11.7 times farther than the Moon.
(And if that sounds like a long way away, that's because it is.)
What Will We Name the Features on Pluto? You Decide.
This July the New Horizons spacecraft will perform its long-awaited flyby through the Pluto system, capturing unprecedented data and images of the distant icy planet and its companion satellites Charon, Nix, Hydra, Kerberos, and Styx. The first two worlds, in particular, will have their surfaces seen in high-resolution, allowing scientists to observe and map their features for the very first time. But as landforms come into view – craters, mountains, scarps, plains, and who knows what else – what will they be named?
This is where YOU come in.
Curiosity Has Found Yet More Evidence For a Life-Lovin' Mars
Cold as hell and no place to raise your kids, the surface of Mars today is a quite inhospitable place for any forms of life we know of. But that wasn't always the case – billions of years ago Mars may have been a lot more like Earth, with a magnetic field, a much denser atmosphere, lakes and even an ocean on its surface where life could have not just developed but thrived. And in Curiosity's hunt for any remaining evidence of that ancient utopia, the rover has identified a key ingredient: nitrates contained within the surface rocks of Gale Crater.
Although it's not thought that the nitrates were created by organisms currently living on Mars it's yet another indication that the environment of Gale Crater was once a place where life could have existed, joining the rover's previous discoveries of traces of water and sediment deposited by ancient rivers.
"Finding a biochemically accessible form of nitrogen is more support for the ancient Martian environment at Gale Crater being habitable," said Jennifer Stern of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, lead author of the research team.
No Signal Yet From Philae (But ESA Isn't Giving Up)
The first attempt by ESA and Rosetta to hear back from Philae has turned up only radio silence – but that doesn't necessarily mean the lander is on permanent shutdown. It may just be that it's still too cold and dark where Philae is to have sufficiently warmed up its components for reactivation.
"It was a very early attempt; we will repeat this process until we receive a response from Philae," said DLR (Germany's Aerospace agency) Project Manager Stephan Ulamec. "We have to be patient."
After landing in an as yet unconfirmed location on comet 67P on November 12, 2014, Philae performed all of its primary science tasks before running out of battery power and entering a hibernation "safe" mode. Its reawakening is anticipated by mission engineers as the comet gets closer to the Sun over the next several months.
MarsOne CEO Responds to Claims of Conspiracy and Fraud
The suffix "-gate" is often added to words to create a meaning of conspiracy or public debacle, à la the 1972 Watergate scandal that destroyed Nixon's term as U.S. president, and we might soon be referring to this as "Marsgate" – the allegations of MarsOne of illegitimacy and fraudulent (or at the very least sketchy) practices by Medium.com reporter Elmo Keep and her contact Dr. Joseph Roche. While Keep and Roche – the latter of whom was chosen as a finalist in the latest round of candidate selections for a future one-way trip to Mars – are certainly not alone in their doubtfulness of the Dutch nonprofit company's ability to actually set up a human colony on Mars over the next decade, their March 17 exposé article has certainly helped to position MarsOne directly under the burning spotlight of public skepticism (a place some say it should have been since the very beginning.)
Not to let such bad publicity remain blatantly unanswered, MarsOne CEO Bas Lansdorp has published a video interview in which he responds to the criticisms brought up by Keep and Roche. One thing Lansdorp does note is that there has been a delay of two years (already) to the mission timeline, which now puts the first crew's boots on red ground in 2029 instead of 2027. Lansdorp openly asserts that they have a development team and contracts, and progress will be made.
"The recent bad press about MarsOne was caused to a large extent by an article on Medium.com by Elmo Keep, and that article contains a lot of things that simply are not true."
– Bas Lansdorp, MarsOne CEO
Of course words aren't rocketships or habitation modules and anything can be said in an interview. But this is the public response to a public challenge – not likely the first to come, either – and so it remains to be seen where it all goes from here.*
Watch the video interview above, and read more about this week's Marsgate here.
*One thing that mustn't be allowed to develop is a public perception of Mars as a human destination to be intrinsically unachievable. MarsOne is not NASA or ESA or any other government space agency (or even SpaceX); if MarsOne fails it won't be because of Mars or indicative of human capability as a whole. Hopefully if it starts to go that way, Lansdorp will have the good sense and decency to shut it all down before anyone gets hurt.
NASA's MAVEN Spacecraft Spots Mars' Secret Invisible Aurora
Only a day after skywatchers in mid- to upper-latitudes around the world were treated to a particularly energetic display of auroras on the night of March 17 as a result of an intense geomagnetic storm, researchers from the University of Colorado announced findings from NASA's MAVEN mission of auroral action observed on Mars – although in invisible ultraviolet wavelengths rather than visible light.

Discussion in 'Community Board' started by KristaTX, Nov 14, 2012.
Yes, I've noticed that too, they always get snipped.
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
Well the spin-off thread to this (with the poll) has 40% of posters reporting for non-spam posts. 40%! There are more tattletales here than I thought. And folks who dig through old threads and report them - really?
I think the first year the person was right because I ended up knowing who won ahead of time because of it, and then the next year they were wrong. But it could have been the opposite.
I don't recognize you or your user name. It's possible, but I don't remember you at all as a poster, let alone as someone who I've seen be mean to someone (whether for real or in jest). If I did, and it was an inside joke that might have been unclear to people not in on it, I apologize. But I don't remember any incidents or interaction with you. And I am 100% sure that if I ever did report someone, I would not announce it on the thread or in a PM.
Huh ? I've explained what type of tattletale behavior I am talking about: People trying to enforce DIS rules where there is no rule being broken, but just the slight potential for it. And doing this by announcing on a thread, "You're breaking a rule, you bad, bad person." It's just silly. On top of it, they act proud that they were the first one to tell you so.
I'm not sure why you said the pot/kettle thing. I haven't reported people for reporting people . I'm not reporting people by starting this thread (that apparently a lot of people agree with) that pokes fun at the Bobby Brady hall monitor behavior. This thread is mostly meant in a fun way, but also in a "yoo-hoo" way to the handful of people who constantly like to point out to others that "You're breaking a rule!!!!". Especially when most of the time I see it, no rule is even being broken.
So maybe in a way, yes, I am "reporting" the behavior of this group. But who I am trying to report it to is themselves so that maybe they'll quit doing it. Everyone else here already knows how childish the behavior is.
There is a huge difference in someone being a tattletale (or making a horrid attempt at being the teacher's pet?), and someone alerting the "authorities" in whatever setting that someone is being hurt (even if in a very minor way, as in the Survivor spoiler thing from a few years ago).
And I've actually never had this happen to me on any threads that I've started. But I've seen it done to other people countless times, as recently as last night. It's just obnoxious.
design mom, its not the people that report because they truly think they are doing a service, or helping, it's more those that do it then come and tell you they've done it......yay? I mean...really? It's kind of the equivalent of them stamping their feet...at least it is in the little movie that plays in my head when they do it
I'm not sure what you are getting at other than it's ok to tattle on someone but not tell the person you are tattling on them?
Also, name calling is not nice and can to lead to tattling.
I have never turned anybody in. YEAH!!!! I am not a bully!!!!!
Why am I afraid this might refer to a thread I know a little something about
I've been on the DIS since the late 1990's and I think I have reported one or two posts. If I feel something is going on I make a brief post stating my feelings or I just leave. Really, I think some people just take all this stuff too seriously. It is only cyberspace after all.
She isn't getting at anything other than posters acting like 2 years olds and basically stamping their cyber foot and yelling I am telling mom on you. That has been very clear. Also complaining about people having think skin and reporting for basically nothing. Name calling isn't nice? sure it isn't, but we are adults, we should be able to take a little unpleasantness in a heated discussion.
There are posters on this board who love to lambast others and say cruel things. I've come to the conclusion that it's just a communications issue - some people don't know how to express themselves properly - or it's a maturity/moral reasoning problem - they don't realize what they're doing because the internet is too abstract for them.
And honestly, I think we ALL are, at one time or another, guilty of both problems.
I can ignore a DIS poster as well as the next person.
I have reported maybe two or three non-spam threads. One was the Survivor Spoiler poster. The rules on this board are no talk of religion or politics and be civil. This board has a reputation for civility.
My mom taught kindergarten for about 30 years. Before a kid would tattle, she would ask him/her "Is someone being hurt by this?" If the answer was yes, she told kids they SHOULD report what they knew. Otherwise, let it go.
I think that's a good rule to follow. That whole "snitches get stitches" thing bothers me on so many levels. As a mandated reporter, I, on more than one occasion, had to report child abuse/sexual abuse when I taught. Later, in at least two cases, I found out other adults had known but hadn't said anything because they "minded their own business." That still makes me sick to my stomach to think about. If you prefer to keep your mouth shut when someone else is being hurt because you're not a stitch, I really don't want to be friends with you. You make my skin crawl.
ETA: Low-Key, this wasn't aimed at you personally. I know you were going for the laugh, and it was funny
You are absolutely right!! That is what the little red button if for!!! Moderators can't be everywhere, all the time. And other than the Transportation board, I have absolutely no powers anywhere!!! So, if I see something truly offensive on, say, the Theme Parks board, I will report it. I do try to diffuse the situation, but sometimes I just end up not helping at all!!!
It's not that we don't 'need the help of the hall monitors', it's that most hall monitor types are pretty self serving. They are feeling abused and picked on, so they run to mods and tattle..and the ones that usually end up getting 'slapped'??? The one that tattled!!! Sad but true. I have had more post reports from those that felt attacked, when they weren't being attacked at all. It's about the same thing as the kids in the back seat of the car...'Moooom, he's touching me.' 'But Moooom, she pulled my shirt first!!!!'...and on it goes!!!
Those are the reports that drive mods crazy!!! Everyone is entitled to their opinion....as long as they state it politely and civilly!!! But no....there is always that one person who thinks their way is the only way...and when anyone, anyone at all, questions that opinion??? Oh, the fun starts!!!
I haven't come across any spam posts. If I did I would report those.
As for other posts, I don't report because I like to watch what ensues for my own entertainment. Some people shouldn't be saved from themselves.
Some of you may think that reporting posts is tattling, and everyone is entitled to thinking whatever he/she wants. However, I'm grateful to the people who report posts to help us keep the boards a family friendly environment.
That's a HUGE stretch to compare reporting of suspected child abuse to reporting an anonymous poster who rubs you the wrong way. I would never report someone on here but obviously I'd call DSS in a minute if I felt a child was in danger. How can you compare the damage done to an abused child to "damage" done by a rude anonymous Internet post?
Are you really comparing child sexual abuse to a possibly opinionated post on a theme park message board?
Say it isn't so.
I absolutely agree! Those two topics/ideas are not even remotely related!
I took the point to mean that to step back and not do anything about someone abusing the guidelines set on this community is wrong, just like it's wrong to sit back and do nothing about abuse.
Yes, there is a wide margin, but I think that the point made is valid. And I think that Snarlingcoyote is smart enough to know the difference, and expects that the adults here also know the difference and wouldn't assume that he/she means that the two examples are equally as bad.
The Hostess thread is getting shorter. I guess the tattletales out at work!

so one of my friends (in response to me telling him to play LoL) sent me a HoN beta key. I loaded it up and was completely confused. Not being a Dota player its a bit much for me. LoL seems much more user friendly. I will have to admit the game is gorgeous
what do you guys think of the two games in comparison and what the strengths are of LoL vs that game or others of its type (more direct Dota clones I assume)
Hon is in essence, dota with better graphics and no battlenet delay. It did very little to improve on the gameplay itself (i know the whole if its broken, dont fix it deal). Its still a fun game for the most part, but its not something that will blow you away.
The big thing LoL did, is take things that they viewed as being broken in dota, and improving them, aswell as adding additions of their own.
The main result is simply a more fun, active game imo.
Both LoL and HoN have positives and negatives.
LoL Pros: Free to play, albeit with microtransactions. The developers have already stated that they will not go the Gunbound route of $$$ = power, but I'll wait until release to see how true that stays. They have a decent matchmaking system, the developers are very responsive to the community, and the community in beta is very good.
LoL Cons: The graphics set people off quite a bit. The reconnection ability is nowhere near as good as HoN. They went off on their own when it came to heroes and items (both a good and a bad thing). Beta is still only open on the weekends, although whether that is due to a smaller playerbase or server reasons I cannot say. (Note: This was written two weeks ago by me on the HoN boards, this was true then.)
HoN Pros: Follows DoTA verbatim. Better graphically, much more polished. Reconnection system absolutely kicks ass. Friend and (potentially) clan systems seem much easier to use and understand. Beta is open 24/7 and is very easy to find a game at any time.
HoN Cons: Follows DoTA verbatim. Lots of things are coming "sometime soon", but we haven't seen them yet. (Matchmaking, clan systems, etc) Community seems to stem more from DoTA, probably because it is easier to get into. This isn't helped by stat farming, leaving percentages, and whatnot that S2 hadn't expected.
Honestly, I'm planning to pick up both games to support indie developers, if nothing else.
Just as a heads up, a full reconnect option *is* coming. You'll be able to do it if you lose power, if your computer blue screens, if your idiot brother trips over your Ethernet cable or power cord....It's going to be awesome.
Ponies Gonna Pwn
HoN IS DotA. It's just slightly prettier and has a less stable engine.
