I'm speechless... All the time we joke about Windows security...
Question: We I get a backported 2.6.34/2.6.35 kernel for Lucid? Don't want to reinstall OS in a year
Phoronix: The High-Profile X.Org / Linux Kernel Security Bug
As many learned today, there's been a rather critical bug living within the Linux kernel for several years (as possibly far back as the original Linux 2.6 kernel release) that was finally fixed and this "high priority" bug is now publicly detailed. This issue (CVE-2010-2240), which allows arbitrary code to be executed as root, is easily exploitable by most current Linux desktops via simply running any compromised GUI application that has access to the running X.Org Server...
I'm speechless... All the time we joke about Windows security...
Question: We I get a backported 2.6.34/2.6.35 kernel for Lucid? Don't want to reinstall OS in a year
Yeah, well. As someone who uses Windows (7 and previously XP), Linux still seems a hell of a lot better. Every month when doing a Windows Update, there's a whole bunch of security fixes that read "this patch prevents others from taking total control over your computer", at which point I always have to grin. And since MS cannot touch the Windows kernel (it would break a hell of a lot of rootki..., er, security software), they plug every hole with kludges in userspace.
So we can still joke about Windows security as much as we want, no questions asked.
This requires a running X server, so servers which don't run X (no server should run X) won't be attackable by this.
The bug isn't limited to X, it isn't even related to X. It's a kernel bug.
It's unwise to assume that a computer is safe just because it doesn't use X.
The example-exploit just uses X for two reasons:
a) X listens to clients, it can be made to allocate memory and it can be made to give you access to shared memory. These are requirements to hit the bug.
b) it runs as root, allowing the whole "gain root" part.
You may find other applications that listen to clients and use shared memory, thus possibly hitting the bug. You may gain access to a different user (even if it isn't root), or you may simply crash an important task for fun.
It's a good thing that most server programs enforce reasonable memory limits against DDoS attacks, thus protecting against this bug.
Another limitation is the shared memory part: you have to execute code on the machine to exploit it.
I'd still consider my server safe, but that's mostly because nobody but me may login. If others had ssh access, I'd now be running around panicking, even though there's no X installed.
The security patch mentioned is broke in the 126.96.36.199, 184.108.40.206, 188.8.131.52 kernels. Please refer to kernel bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16588 So you risk a computer that won't boot if you do install. The next stable cycle will have the fix.
Oh no, not a local exploit. I'm quaking in my boots.In case of a local attacker that can use MIT-SHM extension (which is the most likely scenario)
I sure hope my neighbor doesn't crack my wifi and exploit my Linux machines with local vulnerabilities.

2012 Evergreen Awards Residential Winner

TerraHaus at Unity College
TerraHaus is the first student residence hall in the U.S. to achieve the European Passive House standard.
Trent Bell
The foundation system consists of concrete slab cast atop high-density rigid foam insulation to achieve an R value of 70.
TerraHaus was projected to cost $30 per student per year, down from the $500 per student per year for the residence halls previously on site.
The building is oriented for southern solar access.

Building gross floor area: 2,100 square feet Number of permanent occupants and visitors: 10 Percent of the building that is daylit: 92 Percent of the building that can be ventilated or cooled with operable windows: 92 Total water use (gallons per year): 181,000 Calculated annual potable water use (gallons per square foot per year): 86 Total energy use (kBtu per square foot per year): 13 Percent total energy savings: 80 LEED rating: None Total project cost: $451,500
Data provided by G•O Logic
A new dormitory at Unity College in Unity, Maine, constructed by G•O Logic and called TerraHaus, is the first student residence hall in the United States to achieve the European Passive House standard. The building shell reduced the heating load by 90 percent from International Energy Conservation Code–compliant construction, resulting in a near-zero-energy building. Housing 10 students, the compact 2,100-square-foot project is an educational tool for Passive House and sustainable building techniques, and includes monitoring systems that track energy use, thermal comfort, solar hot water production, and air quality.
Site TerraHaus is the first phase of a redevelopment of one portion of the Unity College campus. The architects oriented the building for southern solar access and used an orchard's edge at the site's northern boundary to temper prevailing winter winds. A slab-on-grade foundation system reduced the amount of excavated soils, and preplanned construction staging avoided unnecessary soil compaction and vegetation removal. Disturbed areas were restored with native grasses, trees, and shrubs, creating new native habitats and establishing a web of pedestrian connections to the campus.
Energy Unity's relatively clear winter skies poised TerraHaus for passive solar strategies. The project's compact form and super-insulated, airtight construction contributed to a reduction in energy demand for space heating by 90 percent as compared to the International Energy Conservation Code. A mini-split air-source heat pump provides space heating with thermostatically controlled baseboard backup heating in each room. An 88-percent-efficient heat-recovery ventilation system helps lower energy demands. TerraHaus was projected to cost $30 per student per year, which marks a drastic reduction from the $500 per student per year for the residence halls previously on site. Actual performance data for February 2012 showed the building's energy use at 866 kWh, equating to $13 per student for a winter month. Additional energy reduction stems from 120 evacuated-tube solar collectors that provide approximately 80 percent of the building's domestic hot water demand.
Water A mix of low-flow plumbing fixtures including faucets, showerheads, and toilets are used in the kitchen and bathrooms, resulting in an annual usage of 181,000 gallons per year for 10 students. As a residency for students where water demand for showers can be high, a solar-thermal system and two 119-gallon hot-water storage tanks provide domestic hot water.
Materials and IAQ The foundation system consists of concrete slab cast atop high-density rigid foam insulation to realize an insulation value of R-70. TerraHaus's wall system achieved an overall R-50 through a combination of structural insulated panels and stud framing with blown-in fiberglass insulation and triple-glazed R-8 windows. Roof areas were insulated with blown cellulose from R-80 to R-100. In the kitchen, inexpensive wooden barn boards add scale and texture, and a cantilevered concrete island offers durability and ease of maintenance. In winter a heat-recovery ventilation system provides tempered outdoor air, while operable windows offer cross-ventilation cooling during summer months.
Architect "Being a design/build firm allowed us to ensure the construction details and concepts were executed precisely, resulting in improved livability, energy performance, and constructability throughout the process. We found many synergies in the Passive House concept. Offsetting savings from reduced energy demands and smaller mechanical systems against an improved building shell and windows results in first-cost efficiencies, and those benefits will increase as energy costs rise over time." —Matthew O'Malia, AIA, Partner at G•O Logic
Jury "It's very much a whole project, not just an object from the outside. It's also really nice to occupy. … Its combination of modern spacemaking and the deployment of the vernacular of that part of the country was quite deft. On the sustainability front, I really enjoyed the modesty of the project. It may hold some nice lessons for housing in the general sense, and not just for student housing."

Lynn looks to get Cards on track vs. Nats
Washington hoping Zimmermann can build on latest strong outing
WASHINGTON -- With their win on Friday, the Nationals were able to snap an eight-game losing streak to the Cardinals, whose run of success started with that stunning victory in Game 5 of the 2012 National League Division Series. Friday's victory evened this four-game series, which continues with a 1:05 p.m. ET game at Nationals Park on Saturday.
Lance Lynn, facing Washington's Jordan Zimmermann, will take the mound seeking his fourth win in as many starts. Lynn opened his 2013 season with wins in his first five decisions.
He is coming off one of the most dominant starts of his career, too, a seven-inning, three-hit shutout against the Brewers in which he struck out 11. After allowing six first-inning runs in his first two appearances this season, Lynn retooled his pregame routine and found a formula that he'll likely employ again on Saturday.
It's all about getting tired, Lynn explained.
"I think that might be the way to go," said Lynn, who added more pregame running and extra pitches into his warmup. "I have a tendency to be over-amped to start a game and a lot of balls get up in the middle of the zone. [Monday], everything felt good, but also I was in that groove that you need to be in when you start the game."
What he doesn't want changed is his run support. After getting nearly six runs a game from his offense last season, Lynn sits exactly at that average through three starts.
Zimmermann has benefited from recent run support as well, with the Nationals having scored 19 runs in his last two starts combined. In his last start on Monday, Zimmermann pitched seven innings, allowing two runs on six hits in a 9-2 victory over the Marlins. He also went 2-for-3, with two singles and a sacrifice bunt.
Zimmermann's performance was markedly better than his April 9 start at Nationals Park. He tossed the shortest outing of his career by pitching 1 2/3 innings. He gave up five runs on seven hits and left with his team trailing, 5-0, to Miami. The Nationals eventually won the game, 10-7.
"It was a lot better today," Zimmermann said after Monday's outing. "I was getting ahead with the fastball, and when I'm able to get ahead, I can throw everything else when I want, where I want. When I fall behind, that's when I run into trouble."
Cardinals: Adams rested and ready
After starting each of the team's first 16 games, Matt Adams was pulled from the lineup on Friday as manager Mike Matheny loaded it with right-handed hitters against left-hander Gio Gonzalez. Matheny has also been looking for opportunities to rest each of his starting position players during this stretch of playing 20 games in 20 days.
"We're just trying to read how [players feel] as we're going," Matheny said. "It's only been a couple of weeks, but we have a long way to go here before our next day off."
That next-off day comes on May 1.
When Adams returns to the lineup, he'll bring his .355 batting average back into the middle of it. Adams and Yadier Molina have a team-best eight multi-hit games, which was the second-most in the NL heading into Friday. Adams leads the team with 22 hits and six doubles.
"The timing looks good. He's trusting himself," Matheny said of Adams. "He's using the whole field. You notice some more defenses are starting to respect the fact that he can go the other way and he can do it with authority, too. He's learning, and he's getting better."
Nationals: Defensive do-over
Nationals manager Matt Williams had his infielders out on the field early Friday afternoon for extra defensive work a day after the club committed three errors and a handful of other miscues. The Nationals entered the day with an NL-most 19 errors, including seven from Ian Desmond, a Gold Glove finalist each of the last two seasons.
"If I want to be captain of this team, and I do," Desmond said, "I have to be better than that."
The Nationals played a much cleaner game on Friday. Not only did they not commit any errors, but they benefited from some sloppiness in the field by the Cardinals. Two of the three runs scored by the Nationals in their 3-1 win were unearned. It was the Cardinals' second three-error game this season.
Worth Noting:
• Molina will enter Saturday riding a 10-game hitting streak. He has five multi-hit games during that stretch.
• The Cardinals have the best winning percentage (.587) in April and May since the start of the 2000 season.
• Craig Stammen has a 2.93 ERA as a reliever and a 5.08 ERA as a starter.

Midwest Living Review
Located in the historic Indiana Music Company building, swanky Chef Joseph's at the Connoisseur Room looks plucked straight out of the 1960s—dark oak furniture and red velvet decor, Sinatra wafting from hidden speaker.
The menu at this executive-dining lunch and dinner spot changes monthly but always emphasizes local ingredients. Chef Joseph Heidenreich's whimsical new takes on old favorites successfully marry ingredients you wouldn't normally expect to see together. For instance, the sushi burger is a hamburger topped with avocado, cream cheese, peppered bacon and wasabi mayo, and a simple flatbread appetizer features jamlike tomato chutney, roasted garlic puree and blue cheese.
The freshness of the food shines through in every course. A chicken breast with prosciutto and Swiss cheese was good, although the cheese got a bit lost in the red wine sauce. Corn polenta was smooth and slightly sweet thanks to an unexpected orange garnish. Desserts include the likes of custard topped with perfectly ripe berries and Godiva chocolate cheesecake. Prices are reasonable for food of this caliber: Expect to pay $5 to $10 for an appetizer or salad, $10 to $17 for an entree. Desserts ring in under $10.

About the Book
Author Ian Sansom "clearly loves a good laugh" (Washington Post), as his delightful mystery series featuring rumpled, fish-out-of-water, Jewish vegetarian librarian Israel Armstrong indisputably proves. The Bad Book Affair is
Israel Armstrong—the hapless duffle coat wearing, navel-gazing librarian who solves crimes and domestic problems whilst driving a mobile library around the north coast of Ireland—finds himself on the brink of thirty. But any celebration, planned or otherwise, must be put on hold when a troubled teenager—the daughter of a local politician—mysteriously vanishes. Israel suspects the girl's disappearance has something to do with his lending her American Pastoral from the library's special "Unshelved" category. Now he has to find the lost teen before he's run out of town—while he attempts to recover from his recent breakup with his girlfriend, Gloria, and tries to figure out where in Tumdrum a Jewish vegetarian might celebrate his thirtieth birthday.
Critical Praise
"…the dialogue is certainly amusing. Readers who enjoy send-ups of crime novels, talk-radio hosts, city pomposities and rural eccentricities will queue up for the series…" — Kirkus Reviews
"[THE BOOK STOPS HERE] succeeds as a light farce . . . The book's high point is the acerbic portrayal of the personalities making up the Mobile Library Steering Committee, but most every page will elicit a grin, if not a chuckle." — Publishers Weekly
"[Sansom's] fish-out-of-water dilemmas and encounters with kooky locals will resonate with Alexander McCall Smith fans" — Publishers Weekly
"[a] comic masterpiece" — The Belfast Telegraph
"A work of tender and bonhomous refraction. ...Sansom is emphatically unpretentious in his portrayal of the ordinary lives of ordinary folk, and his gentle humor buoys their humdrum lives…pleasing, amusing and honest." — New York Newsday
"A wonderfully comic novel...Ian Sansom has an acute sense of the absurd, and does not allow sympathetic intimacy to stand in the way of some wicked barbs." — Daily Mail (London)
"A humane, big-hearted and sometimes devastatingly funny book." — LA Weekly
"A clever, affectionate poke in the ribs…. Sansom...discovers an exceptionally lively world." — Kirkus Reviews
"An endearing first novel...People cross paths, hook up, split up, say good-bye. Narrative unity derives less from the story than from the amiable persona of the narrator himself, in all his rambling, digressive warmth, and his mild insistence throughout — Daily Telegraph (London)

In China,no matter protesters' behaviors are good or bad,if protects hold banners signed with foreigh languges including english mean arrogant, disrespectful and very rude to general public.You can not get any sympathize from general public, even you are the poorest people.
Those protesters in the photo don't know the basic common sense in China? So most people will guess that they have been paid by some foreign political organisations.
I am glad to recomment the Kazakhs video again,some people will konw what I want to talk:
The video you post is self conflicted...
Failure or success is not the key,while the start point appears. Each kind of reform is OK on condition that China is stable. If not,they will be rather cautious about the reform.
This article says the right thing: what Chinese people really needs is freedom!!! Free to express their own ideas, free to accuse corruption, free to say out the problems exist in China. The current situation in China now is that you might be in danger if you say the truth. It seems easy for someone in power to let you disappear in the world. It's horrible! Mr Xi does a good role model to the officials, but the problem is whether the officials would take Mr Xi as a good role model. I think most of them won't change their habit of being a Chinese style official.
'what Chinese people really needs is freedom!!! Free to express their own ideas, free to accuse corruption, free to say out the problems exist in China.'
that's all good. but if you truly believe what you are saying there, you should be honest and brave enough to send in your view to one of tens or hundreds of web sites in chinese in china where many chinese netizens do and some with more drastic words. that should do some good.
but squealing on a non-native language site? what good will it do to your china or your cause?
Same to you.. You seem to believe that everything is perfect in China, so why not spend your time trying to persuade Chinese netizens that life is so good and they should cease their complaints? Squealing your "four legs good, two legs bad" mantra on here will do no good.
If you think there are no criticism of corruption or talk of problems in China then you certainly need get free from whatever cell you've been locked in for the last 10 years.
I wonder if this picture was taken in China because it is strange that Chinese people would use english words to express their concerns to the Chinese authorities.
If this picture was really taken in China, it means that the protest was directed towards the english-speaking countries and the english-speaking countries. In which case, it means that the protest funded and supported by western-speaking countries.
I'm guessing it is in English because english is the global lingua franca and they want their message heard outside as well as inside the country's borders.
Oh, and what is a western-speaking country?
English is not the language of the Chinese and it is not used by the Chinese in China, especially when it is directed towards the government.
If a Chinese wants to be heard by the Chinese government, he uses the Chinese language. He does not use the English language even though the English language might be a global lingua franca or considered as such by the English-speaking people.
If ever a Chinese uses the English language, it is because he is directing his message to foreigners and not to the Chinese Government.
That is why this picture is either taken outside China or, if it is taken in China, it is because the protesters are paid by foreign countries.
People's message can be directed BOTH to Chinese government AND the world, there is nothing wrong with that, and that is why the sign is BILINGUAL, and NOT ONLY in English.
Besides, English IS an offical language in China (part of China, specifically Hong Kong, and also used widely as unofficial with semi-official characteristics, e.g. on Shenzhen Metro, along with Yue Yu/Cantonese, which is also only official in Hong Kong, and shunned in the Mainland).
Other offical lanuages of (parts of) China are Zhuang, Tibetan, Mongolian, Uyghur, and Portuguese.
There is no point to use capital letters to emphasise your points because your points are not valid and show your ignorance of the matter.
When foreigners want to be heard both by the Chinese government and by the World, they use the Chinese language and a foreign language to express their message.
But when a Chinese wants to be heard by the Chinese government, he directs his message to the Chinese government in Chinese. He does not use a foreign language and he does not make the characters of the foreign language bigger than the characters of the Chinese language.
You are not a Chinese and obviously you do not understand it.
Oh, but there is quite a strong one (i.e. point in using capitals) with people who ARE capable to comprehend. With simpletons like yourself, nothing could help.
Anyway, I am not here to elucidate you, because you are brainwashed, but to talk to whomever I choose to, and it is none of your business to tell me HOW -- or indeed WHAT -- I shall write.
However, one must reiterate that when Chinese people want to send a message AT THE SAME TIME to the Chinese government whom they NO LONGER trust (and are therefore asking for the Commies to step down) AS WELL AS to the outside world, they have every single reason to use signs in two or more languages.
And seeing that Yue Yu speakers have been discriminated for a logn time on the Mainland (unlike Hong Kong), they have a reason to make THE LAST DITCH appeal to the Chinese government before... oh, I do not know, perhaps proclaim independence just like the Scottish, Catalan, Texan, etc. counterparts would do in a stand off with their own governments, addressing the whole world at the same time and calling the world to side with them.
Eventually, it is you who is "obviously" the one about whom one could say s/he is "not Chinese", because you sign with a French male name, so you have no clue what you are blabbering about. On the other hand, your stupid propaganda is unmistakenly Commie, and that tells me it might well be Chinese (because most other countries that had Commies in power before have gotten rid of them, sometimes in a very bloody fashion -- e.g. Romania).
But, since you are rather boring, I will not be replying to you any more.
I am a chinese, and I do not understand it either. lol
HK will eventually be independent.
Well, pity is that you as a Chinese citizen cannot see the actual protest nowhere in your state controlled authoritarian media. You can never know true facts as long as your society is regulated by the CCP. So your posts are always based upon assumption and false imagination. Even your mentality has been deformed as long as you rely on the CCP media.
I am afraid I very strongly doubt that. Even a formerly independent country as big and populous Texas has no chance to fight the US on its own, unless the US agrees to let it go (which it won't unless it weakens much more than it is weakened now by being duped into playing the world's police).
Even much smaller and less important countries like the UK cling to their territory (look at the once again renewed issue of Falklands), though they will probably have to let Scotland go.
HKG will be allowed to keep some level of autonomy over the prescribed 50 years and then... it will be fully integrated into a brutally capitalist China. But it is way too small to stand off to China.
I agree that"Reform of the labour-camp system would be welcome, but more change must come soon",but how and what to reform?I recommend Bell898's in a similar topic in TE:
Bell898Jan 11th, 09:59
Although I am always against detaining/imprisoning people for political reasons or without a fair trial, the word 're-education through labour' is not always a bad idea for real criminals (e.g. drug traffickers, murderers, rapists etc.) as long as some basic rights and conditions are set in place.
When I watched reality shows like 'Brat camp' or its variants, where unruly western kids sent to some harsh environment or work on a farm so they can change their attitude, I can't help but to think the words 're-education through labour'. Also, isn't compulsory community service also a more relaxed form of this system for offenders? I also think the CCP is not good at picking English words for their various 'systems', like 'propaganda' instead of 'PR management' etc.
What needs urgently changing in China at the moment is not scrapping the idea of 're-education through labour' but to make their judiciary system more fair and transparent, and stamp out illegal detainments and 'black prisons'.
By the way,let's look on the other side:there is Kazakhs political video which will keep us a cool head.The video is really very intresting and vivid.http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTAwOTU4MTgw.html
Of all things, "we need freedom" banner in English in a Chinese protest in China to the authority who read mainly in Chinese?
Were there elements among the demonstrators peddling for foreign influence or being infiltrated by foreign influence already, as the picture seems to suggest?
For one thing, the thinking that Western English media is world's "mainstream thinking" is false and outdated.
Chinese print newspapers with tens of millions of readership have far bigger circulations then Western newspapers. With 172 million broadband subscribers and 750 million mobile internet users (out of 1,200 million mobile users), and assuming that "All men are created equal" being correct, then China today is by far the largest "mainstream thinking" IMO.
For another, the Western "universal value" is not necessarily the "universal value" anymore, at least as viewed by many in the developing economies.
Having said that, IMO and in many ways Chinese now enjoy more freedom than many Western nations. For example:
Item, Chinese have their own "universal value", but they have the freedom not to force or imposing others to practice their value system, even when they were in a position to do in earlier history.
Item, at $8.1 trillion of GDP (market exchange rate) for 2012, China is still very poor on per capita basis, but China is free from net national indebt ness.
Item, unlike many other larger "democracies", China by and large is free from sexual and racial discrimination, legally and socially, by a large margin.
Item, although still far from being good (literacy is only 94%), China now spends a full 4% of its GDP on education as required by constitution. Chinese will soon be free from "Johnny cannot read".
The West actually needs not to fear the growth of China. China's opening up and reform to build a state of socialism of Chinese characteristics are not fundamentally different in implementation to the "New Deal" social reform and economic stimulation, including protection of labor forces, social security, public works, wage and hour laws and assistance to farmers, of the US Roosevelt Administration commenced in 1933.
As stipulated by the top leadership in China, making mistakes are allowed in the process of reform and opening up in China. "Southern Weekend" may or may not be handled properly, but "Mainstream" English media should not nit pick some anomalies out of a large majority of China's norm.
"Beating to death" the "Southern Weekend" with article after articles by the Economist is unworthy in contrast to its slight of Northern Ireland protests, unless the motive here was to instigate or brew some "Spring" in China.
Fortunately, China can stand such disturbances to destabilize or defocusing its national development in progress, IMO.
1.To say China is largely free from sexual and racial discrimination is completely incorrect. There is exactly 0 woman on the standing committee of the Politburo. There are very few financially/politically successful racial minority figures. Homosexuals are disdained by the entire society.
2. 4% of GDP on education is nothing to brag about. If you calculate that into a per student figure then it is not impressive at all. Chinese parents spend a huge amount of their AFTER-TAX INCOME on their children's education. If anything, the Chinese educational system needs a huge reform.
I view myself as a Chinese Nationalist. I love my country and my people very much. But what that means is that I can take any constructive criticism with an open heart. One should never disregard the fact that China has made a huge leap in the past few decades. The CCP undoubtedly has made many correct decisions, else there wouldn't be a "new middle class" here today.
To say the Economist is beating the Southern Weekend incident to death, however, is a unreasonable accusation. If you pay ANY attention to the Chinese internet these days, the Southern Weekend incident is all that people talk about recently. You are spinning the story around VERY, VERY hard. Personally, I feel that the Economist is very friendly to China in general. The article you and I are replying to merely talks about an event.
If you get paid to do what you do, Mr.nkab, you need to do a better job.
I was warming up to your post as some reasonable personal opinion until I hit your "If you get paid to do what you do, Mr.nkab...."
I am not being paid for any and all of my posts on the Economist, but you are a lot of cheap than expected.
The third issue aimed by the people is to expose the officials families finances.
This one is on the track with several "experimental" regions in Guangdong.
And it is a tough one too, to apply nationally. There are reports that the luxury Hotels already start to suffer as many now don't dare show their riches.
Till now, we see that the Chinese would have taken a consensus to go Singaporean model instead of Taiwanese one. That's why, as one journalist in Southern Weekend said, that they didn't want to corner the government to take radical response, but their point was made.
"Four dishes and a soup" is an old slogan from the 80's! An old Chinese friend who used to run a state owned guesthouse told me how he used to creatively get round the restriction when entertained official VIP. He would ask the chef to cook 12 dishes, but spread every 3 dishes onto one very large plate, so that the 12 dishes conform to the 4 dishes regulation. Furthermore, he would ask the server of expensive rice wine to hide the bottle and pour the wine into a plane container so that it can be dub as local inexpensive wine, but everyone really know what it is! Now, more than 30 years on, we are still talking about the same slogan, and I bet there will be more creative ways to get round the restrictions this time round. The officials will not be robbed of their entitlement!
Fun fact, on Baidu Baike (China's Wikipedia, so not 100% reliable), the "Four dishes and a soup" saying is attributed to Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who lived 1328-1398. Not a new slogan in any way at all!
Incremental social reform follows rather than lead economic revolutions - paradoxically, its our defining flaw as an avaricious, consumption driven species that makes possible China's tweeting and twittering towards freedom.
By contrast, greater poverty, violence and despair characterises the Muslim world, simply because fundamental 'Ribi' tenets of their archaic Sharia law forbid the compound interest arithmetic fundamental to accumulation of capital: interest, credit and savings instruments.
Tanks, missiles and "Arab springs' will not reduce the conspicuous gap between the 'haves' and 'have-nots'; it will be the fast tracking and export of modern Pakistani Islamic banking, which rebrands interest on finance as rent - rent payable to the bank, for a house or car bought on credit, and payable by the bank or investment to the saver for the use of his capital.
eventually we'll arrive there, a democratic and free country. The question is what kind of cost Chinese and outsider will pay in the transition. German, Japan and Russia, those countries' transition is never a domestic issue, so is China.
Hopefully the Red Army will soon tire of killing their cousins and then the Chinese will be able to impose reforms to the corrupt killing Communists. The Chinese have suffered enough from their oppressors.
[The Chinese have suffered enough from their oppressors.]
You mean their foreign oppressors, like Japanese imperialism committed war crimes during World War 2, and recent Japanese bullying over Diaoyu Island (with America backing).
Can you believe it, a defeated Japan is coming back bullying the war victor China? The United States should teach Japan some manners.
When you learn the truth about your Chinese history you will know that the Communists have killed far more Chinese than the Japanese ever did. While the Japanese lie about their history during the 1930 to 1945 period too, at least most of the rest of the world keep reminding them about it. In China, the Communists do not allow freedom of speech or media and censorship is extremely intensive and penalties harsh.
You "forgot" to mention that without the military help of the USA during WW2 there would even more Chinese killed.
Granted, the Generalissimo and his gang of corrupt ministers, just like the present CCP, never cared about their population and let them die like flies, but the role of the West in helping China fight Japan cannot be denied.
Try to find the memoirs of Joseph Stilwell, Claire Chenault or even Curtis LeMay. Will help to clarify the pathetically biased view you sport.
That seems a superficial reading of history.
Yes the communist party killed far more Chinese than Japanese invasion, but the intent certainly was advance society - however misguided they were in economic policies.
It would be like blaming the Indian government for mass murdering millions through preventable infant mortalities and poverty, which is equally faulty.
Censorship does not mean total deprived of knowledge - most people in China knows what CCP has done in Tiananmen.
and CCP's killing of its own citizen justify nothing Japan did to China and other nations. Use it for comparison can only show one's disguised inhumaneness. If in doubts ask elder Americans and South Korean or Philippines.
As to how people are satisfied / dissatisfied with government. I guess we hate the government as much as people in UK. Only difference is Brits can be lead by either 1) labour, 2)democrats,3)Lib, or any combo. And Chinese people get told once a decade (in theory every 5 years). Not too much difference I guess.
The deal was imaginary instead of implicit. There was no such deal at all. The ruled learned from 1989 to make some changes to improve the situation in economics, other wise social crisis would soon be back again. People got scared from the massacre and took longer from the suppresion.
I don't see how China will change a 4000 year old history of repression.
What makes you think there was 4000 year old history of repression? Where did you get that kind of brain washing?
"For Mr Xi, a pragmatic authoritarian, the calculation is different, but if he knows what is good for him and his country, he will arrive at the same answer."
Did the rulers of Egypt, Libya or Syria know what was "good for them and their country"? Yes. Did they do it? No. They did the exact opposite, with inevitable results.
Surely TE is not so naive as to think that autocrats are eager to "do the right thing". If they were, we would all be living in liberal democracies.
"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Our species is avaricious by nature, which is why democracy is designed to force regular changes in government with rigorous seperation between executive and judiciary.
It is that seperation which is currently under attack in Sri Lanka. But if Sri Lanka implodes, as looks increasingly likely, no-one will notice except the unfortunate residents of that island.
China is different: if China implodes, it will take the world economy down with it, and the ensuing chaos will drag in it's neighbors and trading partners. Do they understand this? Probably. Will they do the right thing? Probably not.
Have Egypt, Libya, or Syria sustained 30 years of economic growth, pulled 600 million people out of poverty, and is on the way to become the world's largest economy? Has a single Chinese leader been in power for the past 30 years? Maybe you should get off your moral high horse and realize the fact that liberal democracy is not necessarily the destiny of China.
First, democracy is simply the rule of majority, there's nothing else to it. Separation of powers, and regular change in government posts are neither isolated to democracies nor do all democracies practice them, they are simply good practices that, among others, form a set of laws that are suited at dealing with the human condition.
Every country forms a complex system, and the government the controller whose job is to keep the system moving forward while remaining stable. Dictatorship is simply an open loop system, and your argument is simply a statement of fundamental flaw in any such system. Democracy is a simple feedback system, it uses votes as feedback and a null value as the setpoint, while effective, its primitive, its primitive because it was conceived in an age with primitive means of obtaining feedback and actuating control.
What China is trying to practicing now is neither dictatorship nor democracy, it is a combination of full spectrum of feedback, rational control law and assertive actuation. People's opinion, financial condition, environmental condition, strategic condition and other factors are all taken into account as feedback into the controller, while the controller itself is made up of those who have dedicated their life to studying the dynamics of the system. Of course what has been achieved is still far from the goal, but it is the natural evolution of the simple feedback system that is popular democracy.
The search for policies that's best for a country is one of the oldest quest in human history, men used to guess at it, then they voted on it, it is time they start to use reason to derive it.
The traditional answer to censorship by journalists is to publish newspapers with blanks where the censors have taken exception. This demonstrates the point nicely.
The effectiveness of that approach is probably inversely correlated with the risk of getting disappeared for it.
One of the key difficulties for the Chinese government is that the interests most threatened by reform are at the bottom of the state pyramid more than the top. It is lower level officials who have abused the political prisoner system, just as it is lower level officials whose ilicit revenue streams are most threatened by press freedom. Can the central government carry out reform of a prison system and press freedom by fiat, when local authorities are sure to resist, or must they first weaken those local authorities in some way. Yes, reform is needed or instability will result, driven by public unhappiness. But a different kind of instability will result if the lower levels of the Communist party resist reform by ignoring orders from Beijing.
Given that Wen Jiabao seems to have amassed $2.7bn, it looks like it's not just the lower ranks who profit.
It is of course not just the lower ranks who prifit. The most basic reason for China's graft is that some top officials are very corrupt as result of their uncontrolled power. But it has been testified that it actually the case of Wen is a rumor, which is designed to disgrace him. The new emerging top leaders also seem much better in terms of integrity compared with their predecessor.
Good point.
I also think the risk to reform is more at the lower echelon of the party organs and local government. This means the reform should be a long process and people need to be patient. But recent rise of internet and CCTV exposures of corruptions of local officials is quickening the reform process in China, something similarly experienced in Taiwan of exposing corruptions by TV and newspapers.
Testified as a rumour? By whom? The committee Wen Jiabao himself set up to investigate?
And so it begins- the long march to democracy for China and it will be all but unstoppable.

Phoronix: MINIX 3.2.1 Brings More Polish, Better User-Space
As pointed out in the forums, the MINIX 3.2.1 micro-kernel operating system has been officially released...
With this out of the way, I think we'll finally start seeing a lot of ports, which will make minix3 actually useful.
Things are gonna get pretty interesting from now on.
Dynamically-linked executables? Hot damn, what an innovative industry-leading feature. :P
> dynamically-linked executables,
> EXT2 file-system support improvements,
> AHCI driver support,
....and they also finally ditched brand-new a.out format! Oh, really decent changelogs for 2013. Looks like if necromancers got their own OS with some recent innovations, eh? :D
It is an OS in development, stupid trolls...
History of Minix3 releases:
A feature-complete pure microkernel architecture OS isn't written in a weekend by a single person and I'm honestly optimistic about them looking at that article and considering how fast their pace is compared to the HURD. I think the key difference is that Minix3 seems to have direction in its development, which HURD utterly lacks.
Linux, which is just yet another monolithic UNIX-like system, that is, an old, well-known and proven system design, took over 20 years to get to the point where it is now. In contrast, Minix3 is a pure microkernel architecture, a field where there's a lot of research going on, so what they've done in just a few years with few contributors is pretty commendable.
Minix has its own filesystem (MFS) but of course supports a few other popular FSs for interoperability, EXT2 being one of them. AHCI has been there for at least three years and the change is that it's used by default now, as until now the well-tested legacy IDE driver was preferred instead. Linux still supports a.out. Minix3 has supported ELF for a long time.
I'm pretty sure necromancers will keep their jobs at least while we still rely on UNIX-like systems, dating to the early 70s. These senile old systems will panic and die at the slightest bug on any driver. When there's so much driver code and the bug density in driver code is so high, it's a wonder the necromancers can keep these systems going.
However, a new generation of systems is reaching puberty. Some mutations in these make it so drivers are isolated and so the drivers can survive system bugs. On top of that the world these lucky bastards live is plentiful, with awesome resources such as IOMMUs which enforce peace in the wilderness, keeping each tribe of hardware golems away from killing each other while poisoning the food supply of the elites living in the userspace district of the city.
And these new systems aren't like the aberrations (the so-called Mach generation) which alchemists concocted a long time ago. Those promised a lot of things but had such sluggish IPC that they could barely walk, and those that tried putting them to work ended up giving up (Windows NT, MacOS X, HURD) and going for an hybrid approach instead which doesn't do driver isolation and so is barely any better than the necromancers's favorite.
Funnily enough, the Plan9 kernel is smaller than many so-called microkernels...

I am extremely happy to have been awarded the 2013 Record Academy Award for our recent Norma recording. To me, an important prize of this kind means not only an acknowledgement of my work as a performer and researcher but also an award bestowed upon Vincenzo Bellini�s masterpiece: together with conductor Giovanni Antonini, the other soloists and the Orchestra La Scintilla playing on period instruments, we have tried to reveal Norma�s authentic pre-Romantic roots and restore it as Bellini originally intended.�

3. I was not peed on: G was lying on our bed and I was changing his diaper. He peed in a perfect arc. It soared parallel to his body, over his head, missing him entirely. It soaked his daddy's pillow, instead...and his very unappreciative sister's hand.
