Care set to pay for Twitter rant

November 22, 2010

England scrum-half Danny Care is facing disciplinary action after criticising referee Wayne Barnes on micro-blogging site Twitter.
The Quins No.9, who featured as a replacement in England's victory over Samoa on Saturday, has since apologised to Barnes after questioning his performance during his club's 18-13 Aviva Premiership defeat to Leicester on Friday night.
"Does Wayne Barnes want to give any more shocking decisions to help the Leicester home team out?!! No shock there!!" wrote the 23-year-old before adding, "Wayne Barnes...hang your head pal!! Reward the team who want to play Rugby not just kick penalties!!!"
The Rugby Football Union have since confirmed that they are investigating Care's comments with disciplinary officer Jeff Blackett set to decide if any further action is required.
"I think that there needs to be a wider education about the use of those sites," Blackett told The Guardian. "Danny and I will have some words. I have still got to decide if what Danny has said has damaged the image of the game, or whether it was just injudicious, in which case he needs a slap on the wrist and get on with life. Rob and I will also have a meeting tomorrow."
Care's outburst follows an RFU directive last month that offered guidelines to the players for use of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook in a bid to prevent offensive comments or criticism of officials.
"The England management team have spoken to Danny Care regarding his comments about a referee on Twitter," an RFU spokesman told the Daily Telegraph. "Danny this morning removed the comments and apologized personally to Wayne Barnes for criticising his performance.
"England players have code of conduct which includes guidelines about the use of social network sites and the RFU elite rugby director Rob Andrew is reviewing the comments and will decide on any action he needs to take early next week.
"The RFU has also referred the comments to its disciplinary team who will consider the wider use of the integrity of the game and who will also decide what action to take on Monday."

Proposal: let's make the 4th amendment inviolate until terrorists kill over 30,000 Americans a year.

That is code directly programmed to kill, that is not an AI conclusion reached from reasoning.
The reason is, AI will have no 'motivation'. People are motivated by emotions, feelings, urges, all of which have their origin (as far as I know) in our endocrine system, not from logic. Logic does not motivate.
In other words, even if an AI system concludes that humans are likely to 'kill' it, it will have no response because it has no sense of self-preservation, which is an emotion. Without a sense of self preservation it won't 'feel' a need to defend itself.
Republicans are fighting hard to decrease voter turnout. Low voter turn out is exactly what they want. They will never vote for something that increases voter turnout.

Could someone please drone one to me?
Thus proving their prejudice. The 'paper of record' should not be prejudiced.
People are motivated by feelings and urges. Without these the AI will do nothing it wasn't directly programmed for.
For example, even if it concludes people are a threat to it's existence it will do nothing, because it does not have the urge to self-preservation.
But what if it tells you the pop tarts you are about to eat have been recalled due to salmonella poisoning?

Comments about Fleece Lined Top:
I absolutely LOVE these shirts!! They are so soft inside, LIGHTWEIGHT, yet warm and cozy, without being cloyingly HOT! Great for layering or as a top on its own. The colors are vibrant, the quality is good and they wash extremely well! A MUST for anyone with a "chill in their bones" I usually wear a small/extra small in shirts, and I got these in LG to wear for layering. The sizes are DEFINITELY small. The large fits me without being constricting, but I would ORDER 2 SIZES UP, for comfort.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

HardOCP Spends 30 Days With Vista 662

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).
"Btw, chances are it was a sound card driver - this is a moderately common problem, but it sure isn't the end of the world."
I agree, no one needs sound on a computer. That's why we have iPods.
So to be brief about it, Vista is good for people who want to learn to do more multitasking, because the interface so easily supports jumping from one application to another, while the increased slowness of each single application encourages the user to make those jumps. You can probably easily work on three or four different projects at once, AND keep up on Slashdot, since you will no longer be able to focus all your attention on any one thing, like those cavemen of 1960s who put a man on the Moon.
The biggest thing I've liked about Vista is a graphical installer (which, admittedly, you should only have to use once)
HAHAHAHAHAHA ahahahahahaa hahahahaha hahaha
wheeeeew, man, only use a Windows installer once, that's hilarious. Thanks for the laugh of the day.
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.

Handyman question.
I have a kiddy pool--specifically, a heavy plastic Step2 pool. The construction is probably more than simple plastic because this pool has been in service for many summers and has tolerated just as many winters outside. I was going to send it to the dump until I realized I could turn it into a raised garden. I need only enough space for a few tomato and cucumber plants. I plan to fill it with topsoil and I am concerned about adequate drainage. I thought about drilling many holes in the bottom, but then I decided I prefer to remove most of the bottom so the plants won't be in a container because the pool would be essentially sides and a couple inches of the bottom next to the sides for stability. I am asking what tool I should use to remove most of the pool bottom. I thought about taking a hatchet to it but I don't want to risk cracking the sides. What should I use to cut away most of the bottom, while protecting the integrity of the sides?
Thanks for any offered advice.

Hey Embedded Developers! Buy This Magazine!
Those of you who are primarily interested in the development of embedded systems may ask why start reading Linux Journal now when you can just tell it's going to be full of non-embedded stuff? And why should regular Linux developers care about the embedded articles? The stuff you're interested in won't run on a Linux watch anyway, right?
The short answer is that Greg Kroah-Hartman's Driving Me Nuts column, on device drivers, will be starting this month. Greg maintains the Linux USB and PCI Hot Plug support and has written great articles for both Linux Journal and Embedded Linux Journal. Now we bring you Kernel Korner every month and Driving Me Nuts every other month, which averages out to a monthly helping and a half of kernel goodness you won't find anywhere else.
Now that you've sent in your subscription card, the long answer is that Linux, and free software in general, are inherently embeddable. By their nature, embedded projects thrive on software that is free to port, customize and sell. If you don't believe this, look at the spectacular success (ha!) of the much-hyped wannabe "Media OS", BeOS, which sank without a splash while the real media devices, such as TiVo and Moxi, went Linux.
When I told Greg about the new Cypress USB chip, the SL811HS, and the driver for it that Cypress is releasing under GPL, his first reaction was that he was glad Cypress has "a clue". It looks like a very useful part, too. It does both host and slave, so you could plug a PDA into your computer to sync files and plug USB peripherals, such as a mouse or keyboard, into the PDA later. Try one.
For those of you developing for desktop or server Linux, why make your users sit around and get carpal tunnel syndrome when they could be using a convenient embedded device where the real work (or fun) is? Or better yet, why not cut the user out of the boring stuff altogether and let the machine deal with the real world? Your software will effectively accomplish more in an "embedded" device than in the server room or office. Same goes for your web site. Try it on a Zaurus today.
But back to the clue part. Embedded Linux isn't just a shrink-wrap package that says "embedded" on it. It's a standard generic platform with a thorough collection of drivers that's growing every day (thanks Cypress), distributed under a license that lets you get some work done. Just like regular Linux, embedded systems are good software for clueful people.
An embedded system doesn't need system administration.
It comes with the application pre-installed. You don't have to install additional software to get something done.
It's responsive. Many embedded systems have formal real-time requirements, but even those that don't at least don't make you wait for silly things like fdisk.
It interfaces with the real world, not just the network and a carpal-tunnel-slaying keyboard and mouse.
It can't be reasoned with! It doesn't feel pity, remorse or fear!
And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!
No, wait, the last two are "The Terminator", not all embedded systems. But you get the idea. Embedded systems are what software wants to be when it grows up, and "regular Linux" is headed in the same direction.

Thai minister's appeal for UN chief's intervention makes no sense
Publication Date : 02-03-2014
Thailand's caretaker Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul has asked the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to mediate in the escalating political conflict in Thailand.
Surapong, who is also deputy prime minister and chief adviser to the Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order (CMPO), said he had telephoned the UN chief to seek his advice on how to resolve Thailand's political impasse.
He thinks the UN chief is the most suitable person to come up with a solution to the ongoing crisis in Thailand.
Surapong tried hard to show the Thai public that he had their interests at heart and by reaching out to the UN at this point in time - before (in his own words) Thailand becomes another Syria, Ukraine, Egypt or Rwanda - the country could be rescued from such atrocities.
Even before setting foot in the Foreign Ministry, rescuing Thaksin Shinawatra has always been the top priority for Surapong. We cannot forget the humiliating episode when he lied to the public about how Japan wanted to invite Thaksin to see the devastation caused by the tsunami so that the Japanese people could learn from his wisdom. Tokyo immediately clarified that the initiative to get Thaksin to Japan was Surapong's, not theirs.
Since the beginning of this Yingluck administration, able people at the Thai Foreign Ministry have been forced to work on two fronts: one is to save Thaksin and the other to serve the interest of the country.
But the interests of the two can't always coincide. With the latest move of reaching out to the UN chief, it is clear where Surapong's interest lies. Obviously it is not with the country.
A UN intervention at this particular juncture would set a bad precedent for the country's diplomacy and international relations. This is not to say that the UN and the international community are not concerned about Thailand. Many deeply care about Thailand and they all want Thais to resolve this problem themselves.
Surapong likes to give briefings to the diplomatic corps but he never has much to say. His real aim is to gain sympathy for the Yingluck government.
Yes, the UN does get involved in other countries but those are cases involving mass killings and ethnic cleansing as witnessed in Bosnia, Rwanda or in Cambodia three decades ago.
Even worse, Surapong is acting on his own without consulting the country's diplomats when he issued the invite to Ban. His logic was simple: get the UN into the picture and if the anti-government forces don't go along with it, they would look like the big bad wolf.
Ban has issued a statement saying he is prepared to help Thailand any way he can, but that does not mean he is going to come here on his own and mediate between the two sides.
Behind-the-scenes talks are taking place and Surapong needs to give this quiet initiative a chance to work. Already, the People's Democratic Reform Committee is retreating to Suan Lumpini and removing the protest sites around Bangkok, starting tomorrow.
Needless to say, Surapong is trying hard to divert attention from the real issue with his invitation to Ban. If the UN secretary-general wants to come and play referee, that should be fine.
But he needs to understand that he is being used for shallow, short-sighted political gains. If PDRC leader Suthep Thaugsuban was behaving like Khmer Rouge's Pol Pot or Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, then an intervention would be understandable.
Thankfully, we are nowhere near that point. Let's hope we don't go that far.

As a client, we come to an attorney by way of recommendation, research or chance. I count myself very fortunate to have found Attorney Jackson. He was knowledgeable, empathetic and cared what I thought. He listened then acted. I found his staff just as kind and helpful. You must have a supportive staff and Attorney Jackson has one. An attorney is like a doctor... You only go when you have no other choice. Attorney Jackson handled my case quickly and almost painlessly. He was there everytime I called with great advice. Well, now you have a great choice in choosing a wonderful attorney, M. Todd Jackson.
From my first dealings with Mr. Jackson over the phone, I knew I would love him. He was very polite from the start and I felt that I could trust him. I explained a sticky situation to him at the very last minute, and he took control and really made filing bankruptcy a breeze for my husband and I. I am so glad I decided to call.
Todd represented me on a loan I got from a local bank. The bank has its own lawyers that prepare the loan documents. Todd found some things in the documents that would have caused me a lot of problems with my investors and business partners.

Let Children Be Children: Lewis Wickes Hine's Crusade Against Child Labor
A telling look at the industrialization of America, this photographic exhibition from the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY reveals the circumstances that poor working children endured until legislation against child labor prevailed as late as 1938. Lewis Wickes Hine (American, 1874-1940) was a sociologist whose photographs captured his abiding concern for children, immigrants, and working-class people. He was hired by the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) in 1906 to document the harsh conditions in which children worked. Hine spent ten years photographing in the canneries, coal mines, cotton mills, farms, and sweatshops common during the early 20th century. Through the use of photography, Hine and the NCLC gained the attention of government officials and aroused public sentiment against child labor practices in the United States.

I Don't Exercise to Be Skinny…
Some Disappointing Crap & Some Awesomeness
Seriously, Internet? Really?
When one woman accuses you of sexual assault…maybe even two…you might be able to use that "they're just after some money" defense…but when 15 women over a period of decades accuse you of drugging them and sexually assaulting them…well…it's starts to look as though you might jus be a douchebag rapist. I was a fan of The Cosby Show, too but I am not such a big fan of victim-blaming.
Mike Nichols died. For those of you who don't know who Mike Nichols is, shame, shame, SHAME on you all! He's only the guy who directed recent productions of Spamalot & Death of a Salesman on Broadway, and in addition directed a bunch of movies you've seen that are totally awesomesauce:
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
The Graduate
Working Girl
Postcards From The Edge
Regarding Henry
The Birdcage
Primary Colors
Angels In America
Charlie Wilson's War
He also directed the original Broadway productions of Barefoot in the Park and The Odd Couple.
My favorite coverage of Mr. Nichols passing was done by Jezebel's recall of that 1980s classic film Working Girl. Check it out.
The Democrats got decimated in the midterm elections. I literally can't even.
On a lighter note: Watch some grandmas get high.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 opened this weekend.
And now…some very cool and somewhat touching scenes from Mike Nichols movies.

September Habit Goal: Eat More Plants
Instead of focusing on goals that require that I be "less", I've decided instead to focus on goals that allow me to be MORE. I'm turning the language around and coming up with one POSITIVE habit to focus on each month. This months habit goal: Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily (3 veg, 2 fruit).
It's not as easy as it sounds, unless you are committed to eating a salad everyday. Then you can get all of your veggies in a single meal, if the salad is big enough. There are days when I am just sick to death of salad and don't want to be within 10 city blocks of it—back to the boredom theme again… I've only hit this goal 1 day so far. I always get in at least 3 servings, but my usual number is 4. I'm almost always one serving short.
Not as easy of a habit to form as I thought, but I'm persevering…

A list of some of his moves, since taking over as flames gm:
.Trading a old beat up centre in Langow for a younger, cheaper stempniak.
.trading a lazy winger in bourque, a average prospect and a 2nd for a guy with passion, alot better offensive ability than bourque and a Goalie who is a average prospect but also posted the best numbers in the KHL.
. Signing Alex tanguay a 60-70 point guy to a cap friendy 3.5 mil.
. Signing a hard nose 25-30 goal scorer in Glencross to a cap friendly
2.55 mil
.signing roman cervenka who has a ton of skill and COULD pay off huge for the flames.
. Drafting Sven Bartchi 13th overall and he MAY turn out to be the steal of the draft.
. Picking up Blair jones who is a solid bottom 9 guy who can kill penaltys for next to nothing.
.picking up akim Aliu, who is big,knows how to get under the other teams skin and has some offensive ability and should be a solid 3rd line guy for next to nothing
.drafting mark jankowski who was a huge risk, but from what some sports people like McGuire and mckenzie say he could pay off big time down the road.
And those are just some of the moves he has made. And looking and that list and sitting here thinking, I really can't think of a move feaster has made that was really bad except for maybe the wideman signing, who like I said would have gotten that money somewhere else, so featser just gave him the going price, which yes was too much but it is what it is. And for every one is says the flames didn't need wideman, they are wrong. The flames were almost last in points by D men so wideman will surely help that.
Even better for a guy who plays gritty and potted 26 goals last year in 67 games
Probably would have lead the Flames in goals last year if he wasn't hurt for 15 games

JERUSALEM (AP) — The United States and Israel raised hopes Thursday for a restart of the Middle East peace process, despite little tangible progress so far from U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's two-month-old effort to get Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table.
As they met in Jerusalem, Kerry praised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the "seriousness" with which he is looking at ways to revitalize peace hopes. Kerry expressed optimism without outlining any concrete strategy for ending a stalemate between the two sides that has seen them hardly negotiate one-on-one at all over the last 4½ years.
"I know this region well enough to know there is skepticism, in some quarters there is cynicism and there are reasons for it," Kerry told reporters. "There have been bitter years of disappointment. It is our hope that by being methodical, careful, patient — but detailed and tenacious — that we can lay on a path ahead that can conceivably surprise people and certainly exhaust the possibilities of peace."
"That's what we're working towards," said Kerry, who met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas later Thursday in Ramallah.
Netanyahu said his conversation with the top American diplomat would touch on mutual concerns about Iran and Syria. "But above all," he said, "what we want to do is restart the peace talks with the Palestinians."
"It's something I want, it's something you want," Netanyahu told Kerry. "It's something I hope the Palestinians want as well and we ought to be successful for a simple reason: When there's a will, we'll find a way."
The visit, Kerry's fourth trip to the Jewish state since taking office as secretary of state in February, coincides with deepening pessimism from Palestinian officials about the new peace push. They are planning to resume their campaign of seeking membership in key international organizations as early as next month in a bid to put pressure on Israel into offering some concessions.
Without major U.S. pressure on Israel, the outlook seems bleak. The most immediate divide concerns the issue of Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and east Jerusalem — lands that Israel conquered in the 1967 Mideast war and which the Palestinians hope to include in their state.
Kerry brought "nothing new" to his discussions with Abbas, lamented one Palestinian official familiar with the talks. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly on the private meetings, said Palestinian expectations remain low because they see Kerry "trying to accommodate the Israelis, not pressure the Israelis."
While Palestinians have praised Kerry's efforts, they say there has been little progress ahead of what they believe to be a June 7 deadline for action. They are already beginning work on a "day-after" strategy.
And they say there is no point in negotiating while Israel continues to build Jewish settlements. More than 500,000 Israelis now live in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, making it increasingly difficult to partition the land between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel also captured the Gaza Strip in 1967, though it withdrew from the territory in 2005.
The Palestinians have demanded that Israel freeze settlement construction and accept the pre-1967 frontiers as the baselines of a future border. While previous Israeli leaders have used the 1967 lines as a starting point for talks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin says negotiations should begin without any preconditions.
