Carney is talking in circles. He is rambling and not even making sense — but words are coming out of his mouth.
His response has no substance because the actions/activities/reasons behind it has no substance.
Refusing to comment on the AP scandal because it's "under investigation"....
Careful balance = Pres wants it BOTH ways
Well. All he and Dear Leader even know is what they read in the paper. Understand?

Gang rape fury: PM appeals for calm, victim still critical
Issuing a fresh appeal for peace on TV , Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Monday government will look into delay in response in the gang rape case as also all aspects concerning the security of women while asking people to desist from violence.
In a televised address, Singh said he and his family join in the concern for the 23-year-old victim, who was gang-raped and brutally assaulted in a moving bus in south Delhi on December 16 night.
"As a father of three daughters myself, I feel as strongly about this as each one of you. My wife, my family and I are all joined in our concern for the young woman who was the victim of this heinous crime." He said the government was constantly monitoring her medical condition.
His statement came as protests, which turned violent on Sunday, continued for the seventh day on Monday. Emphasising that anger at this crime is "justified", Singh said, "but violence will serve no purpose." Singh noted that Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde has already spoken about the steps being taken to address issues regarding safety of women in the country.
"We will examine into delay not only the responses to this terrible crime but also all aspects concerning the safety and security of women," he said. Singh broke his silence on the issue on Saturday night when he issued a similar statement saying public anger is "genuine" and "justified".
Meanwhile, the heart of the national capital turned into a fortress on Monday with heavy deployment of police who blocked roads leading to India Gate and Raisina Hill to ensure that no protests take place there but the arrangements put commuters at severe hardship. Office goers and students were the most affected due to blockade of roads and closure of nine Metro stations near India Gate and Raisina Hill.
In view of the incidents in the last two-three days, the venue of the meeting between the Prime Minister and Russian President Vladimar Putin had to be shifted to the Race Course residence of the Prime Minister. Usually, such meetings are held in Hyderabad House which is close to India Gate, the scene of protests in the last two days. Media persons were also not allowed near India Gate or Raisina Hill and were asked to go to Pragati Maidan.
Meanwhile, chaos ruled outside Metro stations in Central Delhi on Monday morning as hundreds of people reached the stations unaware that they have been closed due to continuing protests at India Gate against the gang-rape of a young girl. Nine stations, were closed from early morning resulting in chaos.
Victim condition remains critical
The condition of the 23-year-old gang rape victim deteriorated on Monday with doctors saying that she is "not as good" as on Sunday. "Her condition has deteriorated... She is very serious, very critical and still not out of danger," one of the doctors attending to her at Safdarjung Hospital said.
Dr B D Athani, medical superintendent of Safdarjung Hospital, said last night, the victim developed tendency for internal bleeding and now she has reduced capacity for coagulation.
"Her bilirubin level has decreased to 5.5 and her lycolyte count is 6000. These parameters are after supplementation of platelet. She continues to remain on ventilator. She is not as good as yesterday and she is para sick. She is running fever of 102 to 104," he said. This is because of sepsis and it is a matter of "serious concern", he said.
In a related development, the three-member committee of jurists, constituted to give recommendations on amending laws to provide speedier justice and enhanced punishment in sexual assault cases, began its work on Monday by issuing notice seeking public comments on the issue by January 5.
The committee headed by former Chief Justice of India J.S Verma sought comments from the public in general, particularly eminent jurists, legal professionals, NGOs, women's groups and civil society members on reviewing the existing laws in a bid to provide quicker justice and stringent punishment in cases of aggravated sexual assault, an official statement said.
The other members of the committee, constituted by the government, are Justice (retd) Leila Seth, former Chief Justice of Himachal Pradesh high court, and Gopal Subramanian, former Solicitor General of India. The panel has been given 30 days to give its report to the government.

Extra Healing - part 1
Interstitial cystitis is often a combination of different things creating symptoms alongside the cause. Therefore whilst hyperoxaluria is being treated (see LOD part 1, LOD part 2 and Supplements), and other dietary factors that may affect IC are being taken into account (see Other Factors part 1 and Other Factors part 2), it may be necessary to look at other ways to help reduce IC symptoms. Five things to consider are:
1. Managing and reducing stress
2. Getting the sleep you need
3. Taking regular exercise
4. Having a positive attitude
5. Being aware of candida and constipation
1. Managing and reducing stress
Stress can be a major contributor to IC symptoms causing them to persist and flare up. It is therefore important to manage and reduce stress as much as possible.
How does stress affect an IC bladder?
Stress can affect the bladder in two ways, firstly by increasing inflammation and secondly by causing pelvic tension.
i. Stress can increase inflammation in the bladder
Prolonged stress, both physical stress (e.g. pain, lack of sleep, food intolerances) and emotional stress, can lead to increased inflammation in the bladder. This is due to chronic stress potentially causing a condition called adrenal fatigue. The adrenal glands are responsible for controlling histamine levels in the body by producing cortisol, a natural anti-inflammatory. When the adrenal glands are over-used they can become fatigued and cannot keep up with the cortisol production required. This allows histamine levels in the body to increase beyond a safe level which can result in tissues becoming inflamed (or increasing in inflammation), including those tissues found in the bladder.
How to combat adrenal fatigue
Certain foods can put a strain on the adrenal glands. These include: cane sugar, alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, deep-fried foods, hydrogenated fats and oils, junk food, fast food, white flour and foods that you are intolerant/sensitive to. These foods should be avoided.
Taking time to manage physical and emotional stress is critical for adrenal recovery. If necessary this might include taking time off from work, ending a stressful relationship or removing demanding friends from daily life. It is also important to take time out daily to practice relaxation techniques .The more you can do to reduce stress the better.
Certain supplements can be helpful, such as an increase in omega-3 oils, the B vitamins, zinc, vitamin A, magnesium, l'glutamine, co-enzyme Q10. However, be aware that some supplements can cause an IC flare (see Supplements). Vitamin C is also recommended but this should be avoided due to its conversion to oxalate.
NOTE: It is best to work with a qualified health practitioner when using supplements to heal from adrenal fatigue.
ii. Stress can cause pelvic tension which can increase bladder pain, frequency, urgency and pressure
Everybody holds stress in certain parts of their body, most commonly it is felt in the shoulders or neck. For many IC patients tension often occurs in the pelvic muscles as these are tensed in response to bladder pain and discomfort. This tension can lead to the pelvic floor muscles compressing the bladder which intensifies the feeling of pain, frequency, urgency and pressure. Learning a relaxation technique can reduce this tension and also elongate the pelvic floor muscles which can shorten and constrict when constantly tensed causing further compression.
Recommended relaxation technique
One of the best techniques to help you release tension, relax and combat stress is Autogenics Training (AT). AT is recommended by the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine to help people manage urinary problems, IBS, insomnia, anxiety as well as manage the emotional difficulties often associated with chronic illness.
How does AT help urinary problems and manage emotional difficulties?
Auto-genic means self-generating, i.e. you are treating and healing yourself. It works by putting the mind and body into such a deep level of relaxation that the fight or flight mode is switched off, allowing rest, recovery and recuperation to take place. The body then has the opportunity to utilise its own healing power and balance the autonomic nervous system. During AT the muscles in the body let go of all tension and relax.
What is Autogenics Training (AT)?
AT was developed by the German neuro-psychiatrist Professor Johannes Schultz in the 1930s. It is a sequence of simple mental exercises (repeated silent thoughts) focused on bringing awareness to different parts of the body using visualization. AT needs to be taught by a qualified practitioner. Training is 1-2 hours for 8-10 weeks and can be taken in a class or individually. It may be easier for IC patients to have individual sessions as this will allow for the numerous bathroom breaks that may be needed.
Finding an AT instructor
The British Autogenics Society regulates AT practitioners in the UK and internationally, for further information go to http://www.autogenic-therapy.org.uk
2. Getting the sleep you need
IC is notorious for causing a continual lack of sleep in sufferers due to IC symptoms persisting throughout the night. This not only causes brain-fog and an inability to manage stress and emotions, but it also heightens pain sensitivity and diminishes healing. Natural sleep cycles are around 3 hours long, and it is during these cycles that the body restores and repairs itself. If your sleep cycles are continually interrupted (due to urinary frequency or pain) your body is being denied the opportunity to heal.
How do you get a good night's sleep?
There is no magic solution to getting a good night's sleep, however there are things you can do to help:
Practise AT 3 times a day, including 1 session whilst in bed last thing at night. This will aid restful sleep and can help to stop the bladder being compressed by tensed pelvic floor muscles.
Drink enough water throughout the day and in the evening to keep urine diluted. Concentrated urine is more irritating to a damaged bladder.
Follow the standard protocol for insomnia so that sleep in-between bathroom trips is easily achieved. Protocol includes: switching off your TV, computer and mobile phone an hour before bed, taking a warm bath (with Epsom salts) immediately before bed, not eating a heavy meal before bed, making sure you have eaten enough carbohydrates throughout the day, sleeping in a well-ventilated room, avoiding caffeine, alcohol and tobacco anytime during the day, making sure you are not magnesium deficient.
Take a sleep aid if necessary (short term use only and under supervision of a doctor). Sometimes the body can get out of the habit of sleeping – both the going to sleep and staying asleep. By using a sleep aid (such as sleeping tablets) for a few days you are giving your body a chance to get back into sleep mode - and at the same time you are receiving the healing sleep you so desperately need. Although many IC patients still wake up during the night when using a sleep aid sleep should be less interrupted. If you achieve 3 hour cycles of sleep this is a great achievement.
NOTE: Be cautious of herbal sleeping tablets as they may be high in oxalate.
...continued on next page
too long, I'll never get better" will only continue to maintain this reality. You need to truly believe you can get well to get well. Thinking the right thoughts really can work in conjunction with other healing methods to promote recovery.

So, I can't but say how annoyed I am at how RSS feed plugins don't offer the ability to sort by date in ascending and descending order. I want to display a feed which holds information of events. I haven't found an RSS feed plugin which allows me to display that feed in ascending order.
After reviewing the code for RSS Just Better, I learned that by switching a "false" to "true", I'll get what I need. See the code below.
$sort = isset( $instance['sort'] ) ? $instance['sort'] : false;
If only the RSS Just Better plugin offered this as a standard option and as another option, to display an RSS icon next to the name of the widget. That would be awesome!

After a couple months of him not responding, I told him I needed my money back or I would have to go to court. He never responded. I then took the case to court, where he never showed up.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of cardiovascular drug developer Amarin (Nasdaq: AMRN ) skipped a beat today, falling as far as 12% on spiky trading.
So what: Amarin CEO Joseph Zakrzewski gave a speech at an analyst conference today, supposedly dropping the devastating tidbit that he's looking for partnerships more than buyout opportunities. Not having a transcript or a webcast available to back this claim up, I'd treat this as a rumor until further notice.
Now what: Even after this drop, Amarin's shares have nearly tripled in the last six months, and just about sextupled over the last year. That's mostly thanks to some positive drug trial reports -- and the buyout speculation that inevitably follows such incontrovertibly positive news. Even if Zakrzewski pooh-poohed the buyout angle today, CEOs deny these things all the time. If Pfizer (NYSE: PFE ) and Merck (NYSE: MRK ) were interested in Amarin's artery-uncloggers yesterday, I'd say they're still interested today.

I strongly recommend it !
Keep the good work!
When using this plugin alongside a few other popular basics I did a speedtest on my website. It was around 1.45s average load time, but after loading this plugin it increased to 4-5s average loading time.
It also seems to interfere with Shortcode Ultimate styling.
Not knowledgeable enough to know why or how, but that's what happened.
Hi !

Used this plug-in a while ago, on a previous website I used to have, & it was great! However, I have recently installed it on my new website & I'm finding it does not seem to work.
I've sent two broadcasts and neither of them have sent.
Looking on this support forum @ all the unresolved issues for this plug-in, it seems like the developer has lost interest in it. So I will be looking for an alternative and will recommend that you do the same - Don't even bother giving this plug-in a test drive, because I'm sure, like myself, you will be extremely disappointed.

All I wanted to do was take care of my credit. It is not hurting me if I do not settle this account as I am good renters standing and have never been turned down. I wanted to handle this because it is the right thing to do. The way they speak to you is as though you are an animal. by the end of the call I was crying and I was told if I am not going to make a payment over the phone then have a nice day.
Because they say in there system they tried to send me information they will not send me any documentation showing why I owe on this account. I have dealt with collection agencies for myself and others and this is by far the worse experience I have ever had. To be refused documentation to prove a debt has got to be illegal.

China is cracking down on VPN services with 'upgrade'
China has been cracking down on Internet freedoms lately, having blocked Gmail last month and been pegged for a man-in-the-middle attack against Microsoft's Outlook recently. A new report shows that isn't the end, however, with word surfacing that the Chinese government has now set its sights on VPN services. Some VPN users inside the nation have reported being unable to use their VPN service, and the reason is said to be due to a Great Firewall "upgrade".

Germany's Champions League semi-finalists went on scoring sprees in the Bundesliga on Saturday with Borussia Dortmund blasting five first-half goals in a 6-1 win at Greuther Fuerth and champions Bayern Munich beating Nuremberg 4-0.
Ilkay Gundogan and Mario Goetze each netted twice for second-placed Dortmund against bottom club Fuerth, who remained winless at home in their first Bundesliga season.
Poles Jakub Blaszczykowski and Roberto Lewandowski, on target for the 11th league game in a row, completed the scoring for Borussia with Jose Mourinho, coach of Champions League semi-final opponents Real Madrid, watching from the stands.
Jerome Boateng, Mario Gomez, Rafinha and Xherdan Shaqiri shared the goals as Bayern, who wrapped up the title last week with six games to spare, brought Nuremberg's nine-match unbeaten run to a halt.
Reserve goalkeeper Tom Starke, one of nine changes from the Bayern team that beat Juventus 2-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday, completed a perfect day for the Bavarians with an unorthodox penalty save from Timmy Simons.
Starke knew little about it as he dived the right way and the ball struck his head and bounced away.
South Korea's Son Heung-Min scored twice to give Hamburg SV a 2-1 win at Mainz 05 in a match between two teams chasing places in European football next season.
Hamburg had lost their last three games and appeared to heed the warning of coach Thorsten Fink, who told his players last week that anyone who did not pull their weight would leave at the end of the season.
Twenty-year-old Son put Hamburg ahead after the Mainz defence got themselves in a tangle just after the hour and struck again 20 minutes later with a run from the halfway line.
Shawn Parker replied for Mainz after Hamburg's defence also got tied in knots. Hamburg moved up to eighth with 41 points with Mainz one place below on 39.
In the lower half of the table, a late goal by Naldo gave VfL Wolfsburg a 2-2 draw at home to relegation-threatened Hoffenheim.
Eighteen-year-old Maximilian Arnold volleyed Wolfsburg in front before Sejad Salihovic, with a penalty, and Andreas Beck turned the game around for Hoffenheim, who stayed in 16th, the relegation playoff place, with 24 points.
Fortuna Duesseldorf, six points ahead of Hoffenheim in 15th, drew against Werder Bremen.
Bayern, who have won 25 of their 29 games, have 78 points at the top, 20 ahead of Dortmund, who are close to guaranteeing a Champions League group stage place next season.
Bayer Leverkusen, third with 50 points, are favourites to take Germany's third and final automatic group stage place after staying four points clear of fourth-placed Schalke, who are in the Champions League playoff spot.
Goetze set Dortmund on their way in the 12th minute and Gundogen turned in Blaszczykowski's pass three minutes later. The Pole headed the third in the 29th minute and then set up the fourth for Gundogen to score with a curling shot.
Goetze made it 5-0 on the stroke of halftime and, although Edgar Prib pulled one back for Fuerth in the 71st minute, Lewandowski added a sixth for Dortmund with 10 minutes left.
Bayern also looked unstoppable as Boateng, Gomez and Rafinha put them 3-0 up after only 24 minutes at Nuremberg, though they eased off with Shaqiri adding a goal early in the second half.
"We threw the game away in the first half," said Nuremberg coach Michael Wiesinger. "We have to apologise for the first half. Nobody played with 100 percent today."

|About this Topic
The National Survey of Victim Service Providers (NSVSP) is a project aimed at filling an important information gap in our understanding of victimization, namely the range of services available for and provided to different types of crime victims. For more than two decades, programs such as the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) have been working to enhance our nation's capacity to assist crime victims and promote justice through the delivery of support services to victims of crime. However, relatively little research has been done to demonstrate the coverage and effectiveness of this service infrastructure or to identify areas in which victims are still in need of services.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) has conducted research and collected statistics from crime victims since 1972. While the NCVS has a great deal of information on victims and the crimes they experience, these efforts have limitations in terms of answering questions about what is and is not being done to provide support and services to victims, as well as what support programs are and are not effective. Currently, the victim service field lacks complete and reliable information about the range of services being provided to crime victims every day across the country, how many crime victims are being served each year, and how many victims are seeking unavailable services. Similarly, with a few exceptions, limited information exists about the organizations and agencies that comprise the victim service field, including how they are funded and the organizational resources required to provide certain services.
With no baseline measures about the current services provided or the organizations that provide them, there is no way to measure progress in terms of the number and range of victims served by these organizations or the effectiveness of services provided. The lack of a clear understanding about how current victim service funding is being used limits the ability of the field to work more effectively in providing assistance to crime victims, to seek future funding, or to identify underserved populations. BJS recognizes the limits of the NCVS to fully address issues related to victims' receipt of services, and therefore, with collaboration and funding from OVC, developed the National Survey of Victim Service Providers (NSVSP). On June 26, 2012, BJS issued a solicitation for the 2012 NSVSP, requesting applications to respond to this interest in developing a statistical system about services provided to crime victims.
RAND Corporation, working in collaboration with the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) and the National Center for Victims of Crime (NCVC), was awarded the cooperative agreement. The awardees are actively working to carry out the NSVSP's two primary objectives: (1) design a data collection that will produce reliable statistics about both the crime victims served and the victim-serving providers, and (2) implement the design to obtain national and subnational data to generate a specified set of statistics. The NSVSP aims to produce estimates, such as the number of victims served by victim service providers, the types and duration of services provided, the cost of providing services, the number of victims for whom services could not be provided, the types of organizations providing services, the funding sources for victim service providers, the number and characteristics of staff in victim service organizations, and the policies and practices of these organizations as they relate to the provision of services to crime victims.

With questions about Alex Gonzalez's knee, does Cabrera make sense to anyone else? I don't know what kind of money he is expecting nor how many years, but he has a decent glove and a productive middle infielder bat. I would like to hear the Reds are at least looking into his interest in playing.
I've heard rumors about the guy from his Red Sox days, but I don't understand why he has not garnered more interest from teams.

But that message was sent 3 years ago! Surely it no longer applies in these modern times?
closer to the pre-crime dystopia depicted in Minority Report....
" It will continue even if the economy runs on spice and water."
But spice and water are indeed what make the universe turn; without them, civilisation would cease to exist. After all, who controls the water controls Arrakis; who controls Arrakis controls the spice, and who controls the spice controls the universe.
Admittedly we now also know that it is not who controls the spice, but who can destroy the spice, that controls the universe.
And relevant to this discussion, one more little pearl of wisdom from the same source:
"Control the coinage and the courts. Let the rabble have the rest."
These are Australians you are talking about. The most apathetic, indifferent, uncaring, lazy mob of football-watching beer-swilling bogans on the planet.
The same thing happened back when we were organising protests against Conroy's internet censorship regime. In Adelaide, we had Nick Xenophon and the Premier present, and all of FIVE people showed up, because everyone else would rather get drunk and go to Womadelaide. It was an embarrassing farce for all of us, including Nick Xenophon, who put the time, money and effort into organising the protest, designing, printing and distributing flyers, doing the PR, organising the campaign, contacting public figures, setting up media coverage, and so on.
I gave up bothering that day. Our government could turn this country into fucking North Korea and as long as the fat lazy indolent bastards that comprise the majority population of this benighted country could have their football and their beer and their Australian Idol they wouldn't lift an arsehole to do shit about it.
isn't so much the energy use, the noise, or the physics of flight.
It's the idiocy of the general driving population.
An awful lot of people seem to have difficulty managing a vehicle on a flat surface in two dimensions. What makes anyone think that these mobile-using, non-indicating, lane-hogging, inconsiderate prats could ever handle three dimensions?
At the very least, I'm certain the aerial fatality rate to surface fatality rate would follow the square-cube law if we allowed the common idiot unfettered access to flying cars. The only way around it would be to have the vehicle under the control of an automated central guidance system at all times while off the ground. Which, given the increasing tendency of companies to want to take remote control of our computers, wouldn't be too much of a stretch for the public imagination.
These companies blame the GST when it's their own greed that causes people to shop elsewhere. They don't even have the bricks-and-mortar excuse, because Australian online retailers are just as big thieves as their bricks-and-mortar counterparts.
Example: I can buy a 16 MP digital camera with 24 x optical zoom for $260 from a Chinese drop-shipping site. The cheapest similar camera from an Australian online store is $430. That's a 165% markup. GST is 10%. If it was applied to me buying the camera from the drop-shipping site that would mean the camera costs me $260 + $26 = $286. Still a damn sight less than I'd be paying to an Australian retailer.
So even if the government bows to the retailers and makes us pay tax on online purchases it still isn't going to stop anyone from buying from overseas retailers.
Finally, these companies are the very same ones who were quite happy to outsource Australian jobs to cheap third-world labour. How dare they complain when we, the consumers, do exactly the same thing by outsourcing the purchasing of our products! Hypocrisy much?
At first I was strongly against this, but as I thought about it the more interesting it became. This kind of technology has the potential to be a great playing field leveller. After all, something this small can become ubiquitous; eventually it will be available to all and sundry.
I can imagine these things not only infiltrating our homes and workplaces, but police stations, secret parliamentary and G20 meetings, politicians' and judges' offices, everywhere. It will allow us to watch the watchers as narrowly as they watch us.
After all, if our leaders have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear. Right? Right?
Marino, I've just taken the trouble to upvote all of your posts in this thread for successfully trolling the Reg commentard community to such an extent. Truly a trolling worthy of the best of 4chan. And that's even taking into account Poe's Law, because I'm certain nobody capable of entering a username and password would actually believe the new-age quasi-religious tripe you just posted!
to see Chrome pass Firefox, considering the malware-like fashion in which it is generally distributed. After all, there are probably a good many other botnets and spyware networks that have larger "userbases" than Firefox for much the same reason!
is, if Samsung phones being banned from sale in the US, the Koreans and Chinese reciprocate by banning the sale of iPhones in their own countries. I believe that would hurt Apple's overall sales figures a lot more than Samsung's.
Not to mention the loss of freedom of choice should such a ban go through: if I were forced to choose between having an Apple smartphone or no smartphone at all - well, you'll have to try and reach me at the office.
For me it's almost a deal clincher!
Not only do I get the benefit of not having to worry about US legal tentacles and Chinese spying for the reasons you describe, but given China's attitude towards intellectual property enforcement I'd be able to use it to store all my DRM-free music, movies and TV shows without worrying about being prosecuted for doing so - and give access to my family and friends besides!
I still wouldn't use it to replace my local storage though, more as an access-anywhere adjunct. Not to mention that with my ISP data usage plan at 150 GB per month it would take me over 2 months to upload that much...
Actually, I can see the copyright lobby giving birth to dinosaur-sized kittens over this, because inevitably the most popular use of such a generous storage space allocation will be pirate downloads on a scale to make even bittorrent pale into insignificance!
You think you have the right to complain?
It's summer here in Australia, and while it's cloudy today we've generally been getting clear skies. But of course it doesn't matter how clear our skies get since the damn thing will be at its best only as it passes right over the BLOODY NORTH POLE meaning we'll only get to see it low in our northern skies for a couple of days as it emerges from behind the Sun and starts to brighten up!
You complain about a few clouds? Bah! We've got thousands of miles of rock and magma blocking our bloody view!
Oh well. Back to swanking over our Magellanic Clouds I guess...
Does anyone here seriously believe that allowing private enterprise to replace or take over the functions of government will result in improvements?
These corporations have to be lashed by legislation every step of the way. And those who raise the reflexive cry of "Communism!" every time someone opposes corporate domination of any aspect of human endeavour must be exposed for the shills they are. No legal leeway whatsoever can be given to these psychopathic "entities" whose obsession with profit supersedes even their consideration of human life.
Administration of space should remain in the hands of publicly accountable and electable organisations.
If this guy gets what he wants, then the corporatisation of space for profit above all else will inevitably follow. And the inevitable outcome of that can be expressed in two words:
a few idiots ruin it for the rest of us. Just like those little fuckwits with laser pointers aiming them at aircraft caused the government to ban laser pointers above 1 mW for everybody.
Given that this is the Nanny State Republic of Ausfailia, expect to see legislation very soon banning all use of RC aircraft anywhere except by law enforcement and registered personnel, using this as an excuse to take away yet another small liberty. It's what our government does best.
Well, I'm male, and I find any phone/gadget use during meetings and presentations unacceptable.
To the point where, if I'm giving a presentation, and someone is using a phone or tablet, I will stop the presentation, explain to everyone present that when we are all ready to continue, I will do so at their earliest convenience; and I will wait until anyone messing about with their gadgets has returned their attention to the meeting.
I've interviewed job candidates who have actually pulled out their phones and started texting, right there in front of me. Needless to say, I've politely informed them at that point that they won't be considered for the position, and they would save their own time and mine by departing forthwith.
I also refuse to hold conversations with people who keep diverting their attention to their phone. I generally give them three warnings, after that I will simply leave, ignore them, or go about my own business, even if they try to pick it up again when they're done.
It's basic human courtesy that when someone is talking to you, you pay attention to them.
Not only that, but what's even more sinister is that this represents ads that you can't block with NoScript and Adblock. If you do, obviously you can't solve the captcha and you can't use the site.
So if one line of your defence against malware is NoScript, that provides a passthrough for the all too common malware-laced advertising. You'll have to allow Javascript for the ad server, and you can bet the VXers will be very quick to exploit this new hole.
Any site that starts using these ad-captchas simply won't be getting my business, either as a product or as a customer. Ads I usually don't have a problem with, as long as they aren't in my face. Being forced to run unwanted Javascript I do have a problem with.
is one of retrieval rather than storage.
If they build a storage medium that will last a million years they also need to build a writer/reader that will last a million years. Otherwise, like reel-to-reel tapes, 8" floppies, and Betamax cassettes, the information might still be there but a functioning device to read it non-existent, since companies see fit to change the media standards every couple of decades or so and planned obsolescence takes care of the rest.
Fat lot of good an archive of these things would be even in 50 years' time, let alone a million, when nobody makes the readers any more...
You clearly haven't encountered the delusional mentality of advertising twonks. I've actually worked with these people, I'm sorry to say, and I've been exposed to their peculiar brand of reality-rejection first-hand.
People love watching advertisements. They receive deep and fulfilling life satisfaction from the excitement of learning about our latest products. They find our art and design work stimulating and interesting, and will naturally tend to seek out more. People desire advertising as it fulfills their deep spiritual need to buy and consume. Our task, then, is to gratify this insatiable desire by creating deeper, richer, more spiritual advertising that will touch their hearts and win their souls to buy more widgets.
I know this is difficult to comprehend, but you'll find that the only possibility that exists for "these folk" is that you desire ever more intense and personal advertising and that they are the ones to fulfill your need.
It's sickening, I know, but that's the mindset you're dealing with. Not much short of a course of Haloperidol can fix that I'm afraid.
" I read comments suggesting MI5 kill the Guardian editor with Polonium, that he should be shot for treason and all kinds of threats."
I have to pull you up on that one matey. There is a distinct difference between saying someone should be shot and saying someone will be shot. The second one is a threat; the first one isn't, it's just an opinion. Any comment along the lines of "You should be..." is not a statement of action and therefore cannot be interpreted as a threat.
The day you start classifying "should" as "will" is the day you give up any pretence of freedom of expression.
Are you sure? Because detecting a white dwarf and an asteroidal body comparable to Ceres at the equivalent distance of a galaxy on the far side of the Virgo Cluster is no mean feat! What incredible instrument did they use to pull that off?
Or did you mean 150 light years and got a bit overenthusiastic about the distance?
Back in the 80s I was shopping around for a new stereo. In store after store, I'd see outrageous claims for the power of these cheap all-in-one systems - 600 W here, 1500 W there. Watts PMPO, that is. Meaning that the system could theoretically output that power level for a second or two here and there, with a load of distortion, before blowing its caps out of its arse, but nowhere near that on a continuous basis.
Try asking the salesmen how many watts RMS or the signal-to-noise ratio and I'd get blank looks at shop after shop. They'd try all sorts of weasel tricks to convince me that PMPO was a valid measure of a stereo system's quality and that'd be my cue to move on.
After that it was MHz for microprocessors, which we quickly established as PMPO-level bullshit even back in the Commodore 64 days. The Zilog Z-80 could be clocked at 4 MHz while the humble 6510 only did 1, but the overheads of the Z80 made it the inferior processor. Same with the 12 MHz 80286 of the IBM PC vs the 7 MHz 68000 of the Amiga - and the Amiga blew the PC away in terms of performance.
These days it's megapixels. I have an Olympus FE 240 pocket camera (nothing fancy, but at least it has an actual lens on it) and a Samsung Galaxy S2 phone. The Olympus is 7 megapixels, the phone is 8. Guess which one takes the better pictures?
Oh well, I suppose they've got to keep trying. But for me, every time I see these bullshit measurements touted as an informative factor of a product's quality, I am reminded of the PMPO days and my youthful trek around town to find the ideal stereo.
No. He won't. Neither will I. Neither will a host of others who refuse to hand over control of our machines to megalomaniac corporations who think they have the right to claim ownership of our lives.
There are always alternatives. Always have been, always will be.
So the kids will avoid being hit with kiddy porn charges and get nailed for sexual harassment instead. Well, it is a step up I suppose.
More specifically, like Reddit's /srs/ board.
I stopped reading the article the moment I encountered the word "misogyny" on the first page. That word, along with other political-correctness trigger words like "womyn" and "cisgender", act like an automatic off-switch beyond which I will not proceed.
So I'd take this review of GTA with a grain of salt. Obviously the reviewer has biases of his own which prohibit more open-minded people from establishing an informed judgement of the game based on this review.
Translation: "We want all of Rudd's mates gone so we can give the cushy sinecure positions to our mates."
Sometimes these politicians' motives are so transparent you could use them to measure Doppler shifts in distant galaxies.
You're not alone there mate. I'm right there with ya.
Last year I went with my brother to some "Symphony Under The Stars" event, with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra performing in Elder Park.
And all I could see was a sea of arms waving smartphones high in the fucking air. I don't know why 20,000 people all wanted 20,000 identical videos of a mass of 20,000 wavering smartphone screens, because that's all any of them would have gotten. The only way you'd have been able to see (or film) the orchestra would be to have been pressed up against the stage.
Because of this sort of thing, I've come to detest the fucking things. In cinemas, in restaurants, at concerts, fireworks shows, sporting events, everywhere, everybody constantly waving these fucking smartphones around every bloody moment of every bloody day. An EMP cannon! an EMP cannon! my kingdom for an EMP cannon!
"As far as I know nuclear decay is the only easy genuine random source available but a bit tricky to include in a little chip at a suitably low cost."
What about Americium-241 based smoke detectors? We already have widespread, low-cost "nuclear" gear in our homes in this form - why couldn't we use this same technology as an RNG in our computers as well?
with the concept of the cloud per se. It has its uses and provides a lot of convenience; you can access your data from anywhere there's a computer and internet connection, you can share that data with colleagues in distant locations without the limitations imposed by email; you can offload much of your maintenance problems to a third party. The cloud certainly has its advantages.
What I object to, in the strongest terms, is this constant push, push push to force everybody to use cloud technologies exclusively. Increasingly, new versions of software are coming out as SaaS - pay every month, instead of pay once and keep forever. And if your cash flow is down one month, and you can't afford all the stacked monthly payments, you lose everything. Much of the software we use is now in two flavours - packaged and SaaS - but it's evident that "packaged" is being retained only as a transitional measure and the intent is to "wean" us all into the cloud as soon as possible.
Whenever something like this is pushed with such fervour and zeal, it inevitably means one thing: the big boys make more money which means you get less while paying more. Microsoft have found to their cost that selling a successful product can be a disaster once market saturation is reached, as the numbers of companies unwilling to migrate from the tried-and-true Windows XP shows. "Buy once and keep forever" is not as profitable as the "leech money off the poor bastards forever and a day" model. And this is one real reason why cloud is being pushed so hard.
The other reason is about power and control. Cloud storage means your data can be taken away if you don't toe the official line; it means your data can be monitored and analysed at will without your knowledge; it means your computer and your data are no longer your own, they now belong to the companies that own the OS and your data storage.
So in the end, my problem is not that cloud technology exists; it's that we are being forced into it to the exclusion of all other options. And until this hegemony is confronted and we are let to make our own choices about how and where we use what technologies, I and others like myself will continue to oppose this encroachment of our informational freedom to our last ounce of strength.
My thoughts exactly.
I've often maintained that until we start PUBLICLY EXECUTING these fucking bastards, and their families along with them if it can be shown that the family members knew of the criminal activity and did nothing about it, this sort of shit will run rampant.
Once we've had a few globally televised public hangings of these parasitic scum that are of no worth to the human race, once they made to realise the stakes are that they'll make money at less risk by enlisting for service in Afghanistan, we'll start seeing some results.
Ch-Click...HOCK! HOOOORRRRRAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!
Who? Apple or the CIVC?
For my part, given Apple's legendary lust for petty intellectual property, I 'd love to see the Frenchies sue their arses off. It would be poetic justice.
@ Don Jefe: No advantage, in fact I've probably earned a place on a few watchlists for posting that opinion. I just felt I should point it out because the possibility existed that it was a motivating factor and that mentioning it as such was likely to invoke artificial social taboos designed to silence debate.
As to you others who felt it necessary to resort to abuse and insult, thank you for illustrating why it is necessary to oppose the proponents of political correctness, who are the very ones who use these tactics to silence discussion and dismiss opinions you don't like. What you fail to understand is that the more you abuse and deride those who don't share your worldview, the more people will oppose you, and the greater the eventual horror that will arise from that opposition. You seem to have forgotten, as so many have in the past, that carrot is more effective than stick.
It's extremely politically incorrect to say this, and I'll likely cop a pasting as an anti-Semite and a Nazi and all sorts from the more oversensitive and zealous commentards, but -
Zuckerberg is a Jew. Shreateh is a Palestinian. I'd wager heavily that this political condition has at least some measure of effect in the making of Facebook's decision to refuse payment. After all, that money might be used to support anti-Israeli terrorism, no?
There, I've got it off my chest. Let the downvotes roll in, fellas.

I see little Bobby Tables has grown up to become an astronomer!
Ooh, ooh, can I write Apple's next marketing campaign based on this?
"Samsung and Android. The choice of bogans, chavs and rednecks everywhere!"
Interesting that Safari and Opera have such high error rates while Chrome is so low, considering that all three use the Webkit engine as their foundation (ISTR Opera switched to Webkit a while back didn't they?)
Like others here, I have no problem with the modern incarnations of IE. Since Microsoft have been dragged screaming to the W3C table the job of web development has become a lot less hair-greying than in the days of IE6, when as I recall I became quite the Firefox evangelist on these very forums (and elsewhere) to try and drive standardisation. I'm very thankful that that battle, at least, is finally over!
The only problem with a telescope in Antarctica is that you can only ever see the Southern Hemisphere. Perhaps there's a similar location in Greenland where they could put a complementary telescope, then we could cover the entire sky.
" If an agent of the copyright holder made the files available for download and advertised it on pirate sites, then the people who downloaded them obtained them legally."
You've raised a very interesting legal issue here.
Yes they did download them legally, but it's not the downloading the copyright mafia nail you for - it's the seeding / uploading, which is integral to bittorrent, and which legally amounts to unauthorised distribution. That's what they charge you with on the court documents.
I'd be very interested to see the legal take on this - if I, as a copyright owner, distribute my own work via bittorrent, I'm implicitly authorising others to distribute my work as well by the very act of using the bittorrent mechanism as my distribution medium. So does this implicit consent stand as legal authorisation for anyone in the swarm to distribute? What if I stop seeding the torrent myself - does that withdraw the consent for others to distribute? What if someone else creates another torrent on another tracker and starts seeding it there as well?
Bittorrent seems to be a real Pandora's box as far as legitimate or authorised distribution of copyrighted material is concerned. Any commentards here in the legal profession got a take on this, or does anyone know of any court cases dealing with these issues?
Shit, that would have to be a bloody big squirrel!
I remember seeing parody ads for "Crackwhore Barbie" back in the 90s, in MAD magazine or some similar publication I think. I had no idea companies would ever start selling toys that promote criminal activity for real though!
I mean, in an age when kids are expelled for merely hugging each other in school, how the bloody hell is Lego getting away with this without a massive media/do-gooder shitstorm in the offing? It just shows the extent to which the media controls public reactions to these things, doesn't it?
This kind of greed and exploitation by the aristocracy is what eventually leads to revolutions and sends parasites like this bitch to the gallows and the guillotine.
Agreed, although the B Ark would be an acceptable alternative for those feeling a bit less murderous...
"Never heard of a county with several governments."
How about Somalia?
This is a brain cell. I have quite a few of them to sell you if you'd like a couple of your own. Real cheap too, just 5 cents each!
"The US Government isn't a totalitarian government by any stretch of the imagination."
Hitler was elected to power by voters in a democracy. Do not mistake the ability to vote for a guarantee of freedom.
I'm no Google fan any more than I am a Microsoft one, but it seems to me that Microsoft are throwing their toys out of the pram on this one.
As a web developer for many years, I still remember the horror days of IE6 and ActiveX, where I had to create two versions of the same website for every project - one for IE6, and one to the W3C specs. This blew out costs and dev times on every project and I came to loathe Microsoft for this.
But these days Microsoft aren't the big boys on the block any more, and so it seems to me they're now spitting their chips because they're not the ones shoving their bloated inconsistent standards down everyone's throats. Instead they're being forced to abide by the W3C specs as they should have been from day dot. And they're bitching about it because they're no longer the ones calling the shots.
So tough shit MS, your day is past and you have to suck it up and comply with the W3C standards like everyone else.
Mind you, I don't like Google's "We don't have to use HTML 5 but you do" approach either. Anyone who operates under "do as I say not as I do" is someone I never want to deal with, as I despise nothing more than a hypocrite.
Hey Professor.
Before clicking on any link, hover the mouse pointer over it. Then look at the status bar right at the very bottom of your browser window. It'll tell you where the link goes. Make it a habit to do this every time you follow a link.
(Of course the status bar text can be subverted by Javascript, but any site that's likely to do this isn't one I'm likely to allow Javascript for in any case.)
The diary comparison is certainly a valid one, yes.
But most people don't routinely hand their diaries over to the management of their local shopping centre for perusal to establish what adverts to show you when you walk into the mall.
Use duckduckgo.com. Not only do they not track you and respect your privacy a lot better than Google, they also do AND based searches by default (you have to use the OR operator if you want OR-based search) And I've found their search results as relevant as anything Google provides.
It's not that big an Achilles heel, and I see this in a different light - the whole event shows that a terrorist attempting to jam the GPS at an airport would be unlikely to succeed. There's nothing "fortunate" about it, evidently the airport authorities were prepared and able to respond to an attack of this kind.
A problem was identified during the test: a jamming signal affecting the guidance systems. The source was triangulated and located, agents dispatched to the location, and the problem was solved in a timely fashion and in good order.
I was impressed to see that there was no overreaction by authorities on this one; no SWAT teams armed to the teeth stomping the guy's face into the pavement, no gung-ho cops tasering innocent bystanders, no besuited operatives ramming gloved hands into body cavities. Just a measured response to the threat and the sensible capitulation of the culprit. It was what could be called a textbook case.
So this doesn't seem to me to be a failure of security. To my mind, it looks like a resounding success.

TANOSHII Fun Camp
The 2015 TANOSHII Fun Camp was successfully completed on Friday, July 17, 2015 at the Gardena Valley Japanese Cultural Institute. This was the 8th year for the week long TANOSHII Fun Camp, sponsored by the South Bay JACL and the Gardena Valley Japanese Cultural Institute (GVJCI) for children 7 to 10 years old. The goal of the camp is to promote the legacy of the Japanese American culture and heritage to our youth by:
• Enhancing the legacy of the Japanese American values introduced by the Issei
• Exploring the Japanese American culture, traditions and their adaptations
• Sharing the Japanese American experiences and history to the campers
Led by high school and college aged camp counselors, as well as adult volunteers, the TANOSHII Fun Camp truly serves as an intergenerational learning experience for all who want to learn more about Japanese and Japanese American heritage and culture.
This year's theme was "Natsu Matsuri / Tanbata Festival. The Summer Festivals are the most popular Japanese festival we celebrate. This includes Obon and Tanbata. Obon is a memorial to remember our loved ones who have passed away. This is a very important Japanese culture that we wanted the campers to understand and remember. Along with Obon time was spent for the campers to learn about the Tanabata Festival. Tanabata is a national holiday in Japan and is celebrated here a week before our Nisei Week Festival in August in Little Toyko. During this time, various community centers, churches, companies and families enter and display their kusudama or kazari. This year our TANOSHII Fun Camp will enter and display our very own kusudama. The campers and counselors help design this The Tanabata Festival will take place from August 14th thru 17th in Little Toyko, right next to the Japanese American National Museum.

Sapporo Scottsdale Revamps Its Menu
Recently, Sapporo acquired a new look, a new chef and a refreshed menu. Some of the new offerings include affordable lunch specials, seasonally-inspired cocktails and a complimentary neighborhood shuttle service.
The restaurant is now open for lunch, Monday-Friday from 11am-3pm. Executive Chef Stephen Stromberg has implemented a new midday menu that includes a value-driven driven assortment of Pan-Asian small plates, bowls, and the new Three Sum special, in addition to its signature menu. With the Three Sum, diners can select three options from three different categories, which include choices such as Thai Mussels, Calamari French Fries (these are fantastic), Sesame Chili Egg Noodles, Egg Fried Rice, and Spicy Long Beans ($12). Other new items include Pad Thai Tacos, a Chili Beef Bowl, and Grilled Teriyaki Salmon Salad.
The new "Liquid Market" Cocktail Program provides refreshing new drinks that highlight seasonal ingredients and house-infused spirits, crafted especially for the scorching summer months ahead. These selections include a Cucumber Sage Martini, Gingered Bourbon Lemonade, Fiji Apple Sangria and The Sapporo Torch. The Sapporo Torch is a shareable cocktail made especially for two (or more) with Myers' Rum, Bacardi Rum, Cointreau, Velvet Falernum, Fresh Grapefruit Juice, and Fresh Lime Juice ($19) and is served with a flaming lime half floating at its brim. Let us tell you that it is worth every penny.
To start or finish a meal at Sapporo in style, diners from all ends of Scottsdale can enjoy the convenience and luxury of a new complimentary neighborhood shuttle, serving customers before and after meals, from 4 p.m. to close daily. Available for both pick-up and drop-off at countless spots within a 10-mile radius of the restaurant, including Old Town Scottsdale for a night on the town, Salt River Fields for a Major League Baseball spring training session, or The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa for a relaxing evening excursion, Sapporo's 14-person shuttle can be reserved in advance by calling the restaurant or inquiring at the front entrance.
Recently, I was invited to dinner to experience some of the new, and some of the tried-and-true offerings.
Some standouts were:
Poki (Ahi Tuna, Sesame Chili, Crisp Wontons – $12), a refreshing combination of flavors.
Calamari French Fries (Calamari Steak, Panko Bread Crumbs, Orange Zest Chili Glaze – $12)
As someone who has never enjoyed calamari, I was skeptical to try these fries. That being said, you can imagine how surprised I was when I discovered what is possibly my new favorite finger food. These are absolutely incredible… I couldn't get enough. It's only fair to note that they are incredibly spicy – the batter and the chili dipping sauce, but so so deliciously good. I'd make a special trip to Sapporo just for these guys.
Chicken and Beef Satay Duo
I wasn't crazy about the beef as it was difficult to chew, but the chicken wowed me – a highly recommended happy hour snack to share.
MT Roll (Snow Crab, Crab Mix, Avocado, Cucumber, Jalapeño, wrapped in Soy Paper topped with Salmon – $20)
It's pricey, but oh so worth it. Everyone at my table who tried this roll raved about it. The jalapeño lends a nice heat that is rounded out by the cool cucumber and silky avocado.
After the cocktail reception had passed, we were seated for a full teppanyaki dinner. What I love about teppanyaki is that it is an experience… perfect for special occasions. Our chef was a delight and had a few tricks up his sleeve – if you've never had a teppan experience, you must.
The dinner includes a Shrimp Starter, Teppan Mushroom Soup (always a favorite of mine), Baby Greens and Roasted Beet Salad with Candied Pecans and a Blood Orange Vinaigrette (a recent makeover of their previous green salad with ginger dressing), Fried Rice, your selection of Teppan Dinner items, Fresh Seasonal Vegetables, and Housemade Sorbet.
Every time I visit Sapporo, I always recommend the Filet and Shrimp combo. This night, the chef certainly did not disappoint with my filet – mouthwatering and so tender that each bite much be savored… slowly. The Filet & Shrimp Teppan Combo is priced at $31, but a smaller happy hour portion is available as well.
If you haven't visited Sapporo since the re-vamp, or if you have never dined here, I completely stand behind my recommendation – I may even join you!

What advice would you give someone starting this project? Enjoy the process. I always consider my first sewn items as a prototype, and don't expect them to be perfect. I will improve and adapt after I have tested the pattern or technique. This tote came out fine on the first try, and I might even whip up a few more this week!
This is really cute! I love the materials and details.

Japan hanged four convicted killers Thursday, Jan. 29, 2009, amid criticism that the country's secretive and slow-moving justice system leaves inmates to languish on death row for decades. Japan, one of the few industrialized countries that still has capital punishment, has boosted the pace of executions in recent years. (AP Photo/Katsumi Kasahara, FILE)
