Wayne Thallon: Procreation22 Aug 2013
Wholly artless and unenjoyable display from 'A Spanking in Paradise' writer/director
Straight from the kick-off, Wayne Thallon confesses that he's not a stand-up comic, he's never even done an open mic slot and he won't be stepping up on a comedy stage again beyond August. The reason he's doing this at all is to raise funds for the…
Lead Pencil22 Aug 2013
A bubbly sketch show
Lead Pencil are the Portlandia of the Fringe. Like the US cult TV comedy, the trio of Louise Beresford, Maddie Rice and Dave Bibby have chosen to pitch their hour as being rooted in the 1990s. But, like the Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein show…
Matt Okine: Being Black & Chicken & S#%t22 Aug 2013
Grasping towards a bigger narrative
With this solid Fringe debut hour, affable Aussie Matt Okine races through a torrent of material with an eye for the intermittently strange. Gentlemen, how many of you have attempted, even just the once, to orally pleasure yourself? The ensuing…
Richard Herring: We're All Going To Die22 Aug 2013
A delirious exploration of death
'22 fucking years'. That's how long Richard Herring has been heading up to Edinburgh with plays and stand-up shows, and while he might come across as sounding a little begrudging that he makes this annual trek north, he clearly still loves it. And after…
Tim Key: Work-in-Slutgress22 Aug 2013
Comedy Award winner brings us an excellent work-in-progress
If Tim Key's 2011 Masterslut could have been dubbed his 'bath show', it looks like his next venture will be viewed as the 'bed show'. This Work-in-Slutgress (man, he has really painted himself in a corner with the old Slut branding) that he is parading…
Alexei Sayle20 Aug 2013
A masterclass from the alternative comedy pioneer
Without naming any names, a number of British comics who were big in the 80s and 90s have returned to the stand-up stage. Their comeback appearances merely proved that they made a wise move stopping in the first place. With this breath-taking hour…
Lloyd Langford20 Aug 2013
The comic attends the Fringe to talk about the numerous eejits and muppets of the world
He's not much of a Jessie J fan is Lloyd Langford. It's not the music he's less than enamoured with but her ongoing statements in the press that she would shave her head for charity, only for her life to continue for many months with her barnet intact.
Helen O'Brien: Bronagh's Big Weekend20 Aug 2013
80's nostalgia act is more of a storytelling piece than an out-and-out comedy show
Was there a clerical error committed when Helen O'Brien's show was popped into the comedy section of the Fringe programme? As a piece of nostalgic fare about the mid-1980s, it hits one or two spots, but it's more of a one-woman storytelling piece with…
Roll it in Sequins20 Aug 2013
Largely painful character sketch from the Heffernan/Fletcher duo
While the jokey revelation of the show's title provides a mild hint of satisfaction, it really is much too little and far too late for this largely painful character sketch affair from Megan Heffernan and Sophie Fletcher. They introduce us to the…
Russell Kane: Smallness20 Aug 2013
Physical fun and mind-tickling delights
Russell Kane wanted to see the 'whites of their eyes' for this Fringe run of Smallness in the titchiest venue he could find at the Pleasance. Lucky people in nightly clumps of 55 gained access to an act who is more used to playing in front of…
Alex Horne: Lies16 Aug 2013
A blip in a largely flawless Fringe career
For many years, Alex Horne has been one of those reliable Fringe comedy acts. With his natural stage presence allied to a fierce intelligence, he always produced shows that would make you think before the inevitable laugh came out; at its peak, the…
AntiGraham16 Aug 2013
The sketch crew Graham on the right tracks to produce a jaw dropping Fringe set
Not sure what sketch crew Graham did to have a negative applied to this year's almost-eponymous show title, but the positive outweighs any genuine downsides to this sprightly hour. You may recognise the quartet from their School of Comedy days and with…
BEASTS16 Aug 2013
Quickfire visual gags hit the mark despite bridled material
In a year in which some young bucks have ripped up the sketch show format to blistering effect (The Pin, Thünderbards), there lingers a slight feeling that the likes of BEASTS might be getting slowly left behind. After a solid enough debut last year…
Gráinne Maguire's One Hour All Night Election Special16 Aug 2013
Retrospection of past failures and general election obsession
It's difficult not to allow yourself to be dragged along on the wave of Gráinne Maguire's infectious enthusiasm for her subject. But given the slight dearth of laughs in this hour, it could well be that she hasn't quite trawled deep enough into the…
Neil Hickey: Escape Artist16 Aug 2013
Irish newcomer's nerves undermine his bags of obvious potential
Clearly running on an abundance of nerves, Irish debutante Neil Hickey initially looks like he'd love to play the title role of his show (Escape Artist) and bolt from this small venue. A pre-entrance visual gag hasn't gone down as well as he thought it…
Fraser Millward's Masquerade!14 Aug 2013
A ballsy character affair makes for a memorable Fringe experience
This is the kind of memorable, if occasionally questionable experience that the Fringe was once renowned for before heavy marketing and slick professionalism got right in the way. Though given that the audience comprised one reviewer, one paying punter…
Geoff Norcott Occasionally Sells Out14 Aug 2013
Friendly verve and wit for the openly Tory comic
Now this isn't something you see on a comedy stage every day. As a Christian and a Tory (albeit one with vague doubts about his twin faiths), Norcott is quite an anomaly within the British stand-up circuit. When he admits to being on David Cameron's…
Joe Lycett - If Joe Lycett Then You Should've Put a Ring On It14 Aug 2013
Naughty but nice show from former Best Newcomer nominee
He might have the finest punning title on the Fringe (If Joe Lycett Then You Should Have Put a Ring on It) but some could have a case in arguing that this is the most creative thing about his new Fringe hour. But Lycett (a Best Newcomer nominee last…
Maydays: Confessions14 Aug 2013
Improv makes its way into musical comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe
The once-derided musical comedy has been given a credible spin over the last few years thanks to the likes of Hans Teeuwen, Tim Minchin, Bo Burnham. This has resulted in improv finally reaching the bottom of the pile when it comes to the comedy genre…
Sean Hughes - Penguins14 Aug 2013
A new look and a pleasing youthful effervescence from the London-Irish comic
It's over 20 years since Sean Hughes became the then-youngest winner of the Perrier Award, and it would probably be fair to say that for a while he may have fallen out of love with stand-up. But these days, the London-Irish comic bounds around with a…
Mike Wozniak: Take The Hit13 Aug 2013
A wonderfully wry return to form
Mike Wozniak's Take the Hit is a conceptual triumph all the way down to its finest details. The modesty of the venue and the unsociable time-slot run contrary to the glitzy backdrop and his tuxedo-based attire: Wozniak wants to give us a blast of…
Bacon Face: It's all Bacon13 Aug 2013
The Fringe's worst-kept secret is out there
This cult Canadian comedian with a mask adorned by bacon proclaims that his target audience is the forest dweller of the Pacific Northwest and, really, there's little chance of anyone else understanding his references. Given that this is the biggest…
Bridget Christie: A Bic for Her13 Aug 2013
A very funny and wholly committed hour about feminism
It doesn't seem that long ago when Bridget Christie was mucking about to little acclaim in dank Fringe caves in the guise of Charles II. The world didn't seem quite ready for her patience-testing, semi-surrealist fare back then, but only the most…
Claudia O'Doherty: Pioneer13 Aug 2013
Minimalist humour, minimal joy
With her 2010 solo debut Monster of the Deep 3-D, Claudia O'Doherty's lo-fi whimsy was a genuine delight. Her subsequent shows (including last year's Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated The Telescope) have gradually increased in physical scope to the point…
Nish Kumar - Nish Kumar is a Comedian13 Aug 2013
Weighty subjects, quality delivery
Last year, Nish Kumar reflected on how his 'ethnically ambiguous face' led to him being mistaken (usually by racists) for having his roots in everywhere from Brazil to China and many more in between. More recently, a meme did the internet rounds with…

Chinese DNS Tampering a Real Threat To Outsiders 181
from the let's-hijack-their-hijack dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
So, is it better to have China fucking around with the internet, or the US?
Quite frankly, I don't think either of them should be able to do it.
Fuck the both of them.
At what point are we going to get sick enough of this garbage to just completely segregate China from the rest of the internet?
If only you could mod servers up or down, giving them some sort of reputation history. The your OS could determine a trusted anchor based on a server's "karma" and your requirements*. A system parallel to DNSSEC for apportioning, updating, and validating trust.
* yeah, I'm borrowing Slashdot terminology. But what the heck, it kind of works.
Why should you trust the US with anything? China has so far not been tampering with the worldwide independent organization of either DNS or ICANN. Something the US can't really say anymore.
It would be similar to saying, should we give control to Hitler, Stalin or Mussolini.
There can be abuses of either system, but rerouting traffic on the sly is potentially more dangerous to users than openly seizing a domain name.
Because your ISP hired a lazy ass admin, that's why. Run your own DNS, remove the Chinese root servers from it. Problem solved.
Real Users find the one combination of bizarre input values that shuts down the system for days.

We stayed one night in this hotel on our way up the coast. It was an okay place to stay. We stayed on the ground floor, so we were able to park right outside our door and easily unload out luggage. Our room had a bit of a musty smell, so we opened the door and window to help air it out. Breakfast included as well as an evening snack (which we passed up).

Poll: Will You Root For the Dallas Cowboys?

But then, yesterday, Rawlings said he'll still be rooting for America's Team this season.Full Story

A Church Without Issues
If you could pick one issue for the Christian church to represent, what would it be? Abortion or same-sex marriage? Environmental stewardship or poverty? Morality?
Some evangelicals are tossing this question around in light of the passing of the old guard: Jerry Falwell died last May, and many other prominent Christian leaders including Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, and Tim LaHaye have retired or handed over the reins of their ministries. Earlier this month, James Dobson resigned as board chairman of Focus on the Family.
The mere mention of these men elicits either a warm smile or a cold shoulder because they all were vocal on some issue. For good or bad, their words have shaped the image of the Christian church in America—both the way we see ourselves, and the way non-Christians view us. As we await new representatives who will become spokespeople for the church, one thing is highly probable: We'll identify these leaders as proponents or opponents of some issue.
And which issue will that be? John Whitehead, founder of the Rutherford Institute, told the Washington Times that evangelicals currently don't have an issue to rally around. "It used to be the pro-life movement, but I am not sure there is an issue now," he said. "The issue evangelicals key on is the gay movement, but they have lost that issue. There is no cause for a leader to emerge in now."
Say what? We don't have a "cause"?
My friend Brooke offered this profound response to Whitehead's words: "Shouldn't the cause for evangelicals forever and always be evangelism? I wonder if the fact that we have become a political constituency and force has caused us to lose sight of the main thing. I also wonder if the strong public moral stands that evangelicals have taken in the political arena have undermined our ability and effectiveness in presenting the gospel."
Brooke's words really got me thinking: Perhaps the church has wrongly defined itself as an organization that's only interested in backing particular political and social issues. Perhaps we instead need to be defined by the prime directive Jesus gave us: to make disciples.
Yet it appears the church has been losing disciples. According to the American Religious Identification Survey, released by Trinity College earlier this month, the number of Americans who identify as "Christian" has dropped 10 percent in the last two decades, from 86 percent in 1990 to 76 percent in 2008. Mark Silk of Trinity College suggested one factor for this drop: "In the 1990s, it really sunk in on the American public generally that there was a long-lasting ?religious right' connected to a political party, and that turned a lot of people the other way," he told CNN, noting the connection of Christian groups such as the Moral Majority and Focus on the Family to the Republican Party.

Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade Screenshots Show The Warrior Of Light Vs. CloudBy Spencer . February 18, 2015 . 12:02am
New screenshots of the Dissidia Final Fantasy arcade game focus on the Warrior of Light.
New screenshots of the Dissidia Final Fantasy arcade game focus on the Warrior of Light.
Square Enix recently teased a new arcade title earlier this week, with images of pixel-art Final Fantasy characters, which has been revealed to be Dissidia: Final Fantasy for arcades.
This week's issue of Famitsu magazine features a special article called "The Truth of Rumors 2014," where the top brass of Square Enix took it upon themselves to talk about the latest rumors such as Final Fantasy X-3 and a possible sequel for Dissidia.
Square Enix USA are holding a sale on their online store. During the sale, you'll be able to purchase a game for 20%, two games for 30% off and three+ games for 50% off.
"When you ask kids in their teens about their favorite Final Fantasy titles, Final Fantasy Type-0 and Dissidia are more popular than the main-numbered series," says producer Ichiro Hazama.
Sony are dropping the PSP's price starting this weekend.
Kain and Lightining confirmed as playable characters.
While the CESA's piracy figures for certain DS and PSP games are quite alarming, they don't really mean anything unless you have a sales figure to compare them to.
CESA has been tracking illegal downloads of top selling handheld games. Out of all the titles – DS and PSP – Dissidia: Final Fantasy was downloaded the most.
Tetsuya Nomura makes a positive comment about a Dissidia: Final Fantasy sequel over Twitter.
Square Enix is about to release Dissidia: Final Fantasy in North America this week, but you may want to hold off buying it.
Europe is the last region to get Dissidia: Final Fantasy in the world, but Square Enix is making it up to PAL territories with a limited collectors edition version of Dissidia.
"We made a game where characters from various FF games got together to battle, Dissidia, but that was a project we were originally thinking of using for KH. However, deciding it would be a bad idea to make Disney characters fight each other."
Square Enix added a new feature to the North American version of Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Arcade mode is designed for quick play. The computer automatically sets your stats, attacks, and lines up five enemies to fight.
Choose your allegiance to Cosmos or Chaos with the Dissidia: Final Fantasy package art. One side has all the Cosmos and all of the Final Fantasy heroes as imagined by Tetsuya Nomura. Flip it over and you have villains.

A bus conductor in H.D. Kote committed suicide by consuming poison after a show-cause notice was issued to him by an inspection squad, consequent to which the drivers and conductors in the region resorted to a snap strike.
G.M. Manjappa (26) was on duty when the checking staff intercepted the bus which was proceeding from G.M. Halli to H.D. Kote. The team allegedly found discrepancies in the accounts and issued a notice to the conductor.
He reached the H.D. Kote bus depot and discussed the issue with his colleagues who asked him to take it easy, but Manjappa collapsed soon after. It was suspected that he had consumed poison and was immediately taken to H.D. Kote hospital from where he was rushed to the K.R. Hospital in Mysore. However, Manjappa died on the way. As news of his death spread, drivers and conductors resorted to a strike and all services of the KSRTC were affected. They demanded compensation and appointment on compassionate grounds to any of the surviving family members of the deceased.

Prof. Gates sends flowers to 911 caller
The explosion of peace, love, and understanding brought on by President Obama's beer summit continues unabated. This time it's Henry Louis Gates Jr. moving things forward, sending a bouquet of flowers to Lucia Whalen, the woman who made the 911 call that eventually landed Gates in jail. "It was an expression of gratitude," her lawyer and Daily Beast contributor, Wendy Murphy, told the Boston Herald. She wouldn't disclose the contents of the note, but the recent release of tapes of the 911 call showed that Whalen did not describe Gates or his driver, who were trying to get into Gates' house, as black. In the call, Whalen also suggested they might live at the house and not be burglars.

Rowdale was originally a site for lead mining, however the farm house dates back to the early 17th century and formed part of the Eyre Estate, a Cavalier stronghold at the time of the civil war. The other older buildings are The Coach House and tithe barn at the top of the farm yard, which dates back to the 18th century. A dairy farm for all its working life, transported the milk to Manchester from the station just down the road at Hassop. When the Midland railway was built.
There is direct access onto the Monsal Trail from the cottages, the former Midland railway line, which linked Matlock to Buxton. Work on the line from Matlock via Buxton to Manchester began in 1860. The Haddon tunnel, 1,058 yards long, the second longest on the line, built to divert the line away from the Duke of Rutland's home, Haddon Hall. As a result the line reached Bakewell, 100 feet above the town, and accounts for the station being placed where it is. Hassop Station was used by the Duke of Devonshire and Thornbridge Station is alongside Thornbridge Hall.
In May 2011 the tunnels along the line, were opened giving walkers and cyclists the ability to walk the trail end to end, approximately nine miles, for the first time with the whole trail now being almost level it can be used by wheelchair users, with access from Bakewell, Great Longstone, Hassop Station, (with disabled toilet access) or Millers Dale.
Ashford in the Water and Great Longstone, both pretty and unspoilt, are the closest villages, both just under a mile away, provide a choice village stores, pubs and café's, you can even buy milk direct from the local dairy farm.
Bakewell, a 2 mile walk, has a cattle and farmers market in the Agricultural Centre and market square every Monday, and is also famous for its puddings.
The historic towns and villages of Buxton, Matlcok, Tideswell, Eyam, Hathersage, Ensor and Castleton are just a few of those close by and worth a visit. Sheffield our closest major city only 16 miles trip.
Chatsworth House, just 3 miles away, is a must visit, but perhaps make time to visit many of the other great attractions close by, Haddon Hall, Derwent Valley Mills, Crich tram museum, Blue John caverns, Tissington Hall, Hardwick Hall, to name just a few.
Climbing, cycling, walking, fishing, sailing, hot air ballooning, hang gliding, gliding, microlighting and golf are all outdoor pursuits which can be enjoyed close by. For thrill seekers of all ages, Alton Towers or Gulivers Kingdom are easily accessable too .

"The good, the bad and the ugly!"
1. Property nice enough 2. No mention made of really noisy road outside used by lorries from 5am all day3. Make sure you get a receipt or risk being accused of not paying when you have - and then get … More
We would like to thank our guest for taking the time to review The Old Dairy, we are grateful for any feedback, as it helps ensure the description of our property is appropriate, and we continue to improve the facilities in the cottages at Rowdale Farm.
1. We are pleased to know that there were no issues with the main facilities, comfort and cleanliness of the cottage.
2. On the Holiday Lettings site, and in more detail on our own website we show the exact location of the cottages, and suggest the cottages make 'an ideal base for an active holiday. The cottages provide easy access to the many historic towns, villages, houses and beautiful countryside, whether exploring on foot, bicycle or by car'. If someone makes an enquiry for a quiet back water, we explain that this cottage is not ideal. Having been established now for ten years, with an increasing number of returning guests, we feel this is not a problem for the majority. Last weekend for example, all our cottages were occupied by returning guests.
3. This reservation was extended from the original booking. When the guest called prior to their arrival for a further extension, it became apparent that the amended booking had been overlooked. Our receptionist only asked the guest for the date of their confirmation email so their booking could be checked, the guest had not sent or received an email regarding the extension so the receptionist advised that the owner would check the account and we would confirm the reservation. The matter was dealt with the next day.
4. Details of the wildlife pond are described on our own website, and on the Holiday Lettings site, 'Guests also have access to the large wildlife pond, home to Geese, Mallards, Coots, Moorhens, frogs, toads, newts, an abundance of fish and occasional heron!', there have never been any swans. Some visitors feed the ducks and geese and we hope that the wildfowl on and around the pond are more of a point of interest than negative point. All the wildfowl have nested on the island this year and gosling/ducklings are quite special in such close proximity to premises.
5. None of our literature mentions a 'welcome pack', and in our confirmation email we describe what our guests can expect to find, and also the items that they should bring with them.
6. The Monsal Trail is a fantastic amenity to have in such close proximity to the cottages, so we mention it on several occasions in the information provided on our website, and on The Holiday Lettings site. ' The gate to the Monsal Trial, a disused railway line, is accessed through the fields behind the cottages via a style or a gate off the main driveway.' We advise any less able guests wishing to access the trail, to take a two minute drive or short level walk to The Old Hassop Station where there is plenty of parking and level access onto the trail without crossing the field.
7. Earlier this year we introduced Wi-Fi internet access in this particular cottage. Whilst other guests have made use of this, it appears that these guests were not aware that it was there, we can only apologise and endeavour to make it's availability more clear for future guests. Our intention is to make it available in other cottages very soon, following this trial period.

"Excellent - clean, convenient, quiet, everything you could need for a weekend or week away! Beautiful spot too!"
We were a party of five, three adults and two dogs. The Old Diary had everything that you could think of needing and it's location is both handy and quiet. Convenient for the Monsal Walk/Cycle trail, Bakewell and Chatsworth House to mention a few of the local places. We definitely want to go back and explore more.

"Immaculate cottage - great location"
The photos on the website don't really do The Old Dairy justice. It is absolutely lovely and surprisingly spacious. We weren't sure what to expect in a dog friendly cottage but there was a… More

Off-the-shelf options may rule the roost when it comes to mobile enterprise applications used by businesses and their employees. But there's a productive hen with the ability to lay golden eggs that's gaining greater prominence in this market: custom mobile apps that are fully or partially personalized, tailor-made, and paid for by a company to meet its particular business or mission needs.

"Great benefits, but very low pay for the amount of work required. "

I worked at Paychex full-time (more than a year)
Excellent medical/dental/vision
2 weeks of vacation to start
Solid training programs
Extremely low pay for work required. In some locations, payroll specialists start at $12/hour. This seems ok for the work you think you'll be doing... talking to clients and entering payroll, which is what you are trained for in Rochester, NY for 2 weeks. When you get back to your branch, however, the work load is almost unbearable. In addition to entering payroll, you are also a one-stop shop for your clients. Payroll laws, Human resource concerns, product sales, pricing, amending tax returns by hand, dealing with child support agencies, state agencies, IRS, researching and resolving EVERY agency related notice your clients receive, tax law issues, being tech support for clients entering their own payroll online, and explaining information to CPA's and accountants might be on your plate in any given day. There's no training for this in Rochester. It's all on the job.
$12 for data entry is reasonable. $12 for a college graduate to do all of the above is embarrassing.
Pay that is commensurate with the actual job requirements and workload would be outstanding.

I have been working at Paychex full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
You get a decent amount of PTO, sick days, etc. The training is extensive and prepares you to answer most tax law/payroll questions.Cons
Pay can be higher for the amount of workload you have. It's absurd the amount of work senior management expects you to complete which translates into poor customer service. There is a major disconnect between senior management and the payroll specialist. As a payroll specialist you are expected to wear many different hats and do a wide array of all different tasks, which shouldn't be our job. Client count is beyond absurd, absolutely not enough time in a day to complete what you are asked to do.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Be willing to shell out some money to help your employees to reap the benefits as a company in the long run. Hiring an extra specialist or two at each branch would do wonders in decreasing our client count, which will translate into better customer service. Switch up the company's business model. Allow other departments to take on more responsibility that we shouldn't have to be responsible for (i.e. billing). Create more opportunities for pay and/or incentives for certain accomplishments. Let supervisors help their groups rather than be off doing certain projects (or hire a core manager) at smaller branches.Neutral Outlook

Good Benefits and the customersCons
I been told, "It depends upon the branch that one works in". I guess that it is true. Branches outside of So Cal really seem to appreciate their payroll specialists. The corporate mantra is" that to the customer, the payroll specialist is Paychex". Unfortunately, no one within the branch sees that relationship as special. Payroll specialists are treated as one-step removed from the janitor. That is too bad, because we payroll specialists really like building relationships/friendships with our customers. In addition, we also providing the best service that we can so that our customers can concentrate on other areas of their business.
A typical day: contacting a scheduled list of clients to get the payroll information. Processing that information - ensuring accurate input.
What I learned: That Paychex is a place that will suck all of the joy out of your life.
