It's one of many things that should be considered. Skyeye asked "where does it stop", so i pointed out that the majority of the population go about their daily lives unworried by this apparantly unacceptable tyrannic law, so clearly it stops somewhere short of being overly restrictive and invasive.
Your response was to post a mediocre open ended comic without so much as a line to clarify what you meant and when I pointed out the weakness of the reply you asked how you're supposed to respond to my point?
I'm not going to argue your case for you...
Just pointing out your post history (especially threads started). You seem to particularly enjoy searching for cases like this. I'm curious as to why, especially given your comment in another thread "Because Euros just love to gleefully circle jerk about US politics as much as possible..."
There are many self hating Brits. Hell self deprecating humour is sort of our forte.

Fair enough, there's more to his arrest than the Telegraph story conveys. If not specifically for racially offensive remarks, I'd be curious to find out the actual charges that lead to his arrest.
Arguing that a law is fine so long as the majority isn't affected is just patent nonsense. It only takes a modicum amount of imagination to produce historical examples where that kind of litmus test is basically worthless...
In the sense that there's a tendency to grossly overstate the importance of fringe players like Bachman, Palin, et al. and what they say, and then to go on and on about how ridiculous/alien/scary/whatever American politics are.Originally Posted by Corrupt
However you can't really equate some third-rate precandidate's sound byte to well established, national policies, like the one that makes arresting people for offensive youtube comments/tweets/FB wall posts a reality, or the aforementioned policy concerning schoolchildren. I really doubt I'm alone in being surprised by the fact that this sort of thing goes on.
That's cool actually, I do love British comedies.Originally Posted by Corrupt
And you saying how ridiculous/alien/scary a law/policy you've never had any interaction with is different to when us Europeans do it regarding an American one? I believe there's a saying about a pot and a kettle that applies.
As I said, different peoples, different cultures, different ways of doing things. This is not the USA. We did not have a big revolution, declare ourselves free of tyranny and write down a score of bulletpoints that we believed to be inalienable rights. We generally gained our freedoms and rights over time as our nation developed from an absolute monarchy to a social democracy where the monarchy is just a figurehead/symbol. As a result there's an almost militant indifference among the majoirty of the population to the concerns you raise.
Hell I'll find another news story for you.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...shire-17494085Woodward has been sentenced to six weeks in prison after pleading guilty to making an offensive phone call.
What exactly did the guy say anyway?, what I read was he wished that the guy died, and that's not a racist statement as such. Maybe there's something I haven't heard.
Jumping across the channel to the Toulouse child killer, was the minutes silence by that teacher in France racist? Was the facebook fan page setup also racist?
I don't need personal interaction to realize what's penalized and what the penalties are. If you were to come down hard on the more draconian aspects of the Patriot Act, a great many Americans would be in definite agreement with you... myself included.
Also, you're decontextualizing my comment from the other thread. It referred to the way some Europeans get their jollies by focusing on sound bytes by fringe Republican pre-candidates (Bachman, Santorum, Palin), only to distort the big picture in making them out to be somehow representative of the entire GOP or even US politics in general. I wasn't referring to any established laws or policies.
But this is a fairly recent phenomenon. From 1997 - 2010, Labour also brought you such wonderful things as the Citizens DNA database and the fingerprinting of children at schools; even the EU expressed concern about potential breaches of privacy.[FONT=arial][*******#000000]As I said, different peoples, different cultures, different ways of doing things.

[/COLOR][/FONT]Good. Abusing emergency hotlines is a misdemeanor everywhere and a felony in some jurisdictions, I don't really see a relation here.
Santorum and Palin are fringe Republicans? Forgive me if I'm mistaken but is'nt Santorum one of your 2 potential Republican Presidential candidates and was'nt Palin actually your Republican Vice Presidential candidate in 2008? That would make them pretty damn mainstream anywhere else.

The Great Police State will need more prisons once they find out people say boo-boo words outside of twitter too.
When the punishment is harsh, and perceived by many to not fit the crime you end up with people feeling sympathy for the offender....not a good idea in a crime involving racism. The punishment will only invoke further racist comments.

Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago has announced she will deliberately snub all Senate sessions until Wednesday just to get even with her colleagues, who ignored a hearing she spurred last week.
"Tit for tat. If they snub my hearing, I will snub their session," Santiago said.
She explained this is to show her resentment against senators, who were absent during her panel's hearing on former Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Usec. Rico Puno.
But Santiago clarified she will be present when the Committee on Appointments tackle the nomination of Department of Transportation and Communications Sec. Mar Roxas as the new head of DILG.
"If a cabinet member who snubs my hearing is presented for confirmation this Wednesday, I will attend the confirmation hearing to cast a veto, to fulfill my promise that I shall veto all cabinet members who were invited, but snubbed me," she said.
She alleged there was an obvious conspiracy between the cabinet and certain senators to ignore her panel's hearing on the alleged jueteng ties and anomalous P1-billion arms deal involving Puno.
Citing an excuse letter from Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, Santiago noticed the same arguments that senators raised regarding the legality of Santiago's panel to look into
"The Malacañang letter raises the issue of a lack of resolution passed by the plenary session. This is exactly the same issue raised by Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and Sen. Panfilo Lacson," Santiago said.
"I have already pointed out, for their education, that several provisions in the Senate Rules and the Senate rules concerning inquiries in aid of legislation strongly imply that there is no need for a formal resolution, if the committee has competent jurisdiction," she added.
Santiago reiterated that Senate Committee on Constitutional Amendments, Revision of Codes and Law she chairs has jurisdiction over the matter under "revision of laws."
The legislator even cited certain provisions of the Administrative Code that seem to have been ignored in the appointment of Puno, such as the need for a prior recommendation in favor of an undersecretary issued by the secretary.
Santiago added she is avoiding going to the Senate "because she is so nettled that her blood pressure might rise again."
Only Senators Alan Peter Cayetano and Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel Jr. were present on Friday's hearing.

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who died January 23 at age 90, leaves behind a legacy of monumental proportions for his kingdom, the region and the global economy. For that reason, his death leaves a cloud of uncertainty over all three realms. He leaves the country in the hands of an elderly successor, his half-brother Salman, who's said to suffer health limitations.
Salman is expected to continue Abdullah's gradualist reformism, though some who know him say he lacks the folksy charm that allowed Abdullah to move faster than anyone had expected.
Abdullah was the sixth monarch of the kingdom created in 1932 by his father, Abdul Aziz ibn Saud. In a way, though, Abdullah can be seen as the first ruler of a new Saudi Arabia that began to emerge under his leadership. King since 2005 and effective ruler for a decade before that, he oversaw the desert kingdom's transformation from an oversized feudal oil sheikhdom into a leading force in global politics and diplomacy.
In the process he became one of the world's most influential heads of state. The country that was once a leading voice of Islamist extremism and opposition to Israel became the effective leader of the Arab moderate camp and an advocate of Arab-Israeli peace.
Despite its enormous wealth as the world's largest oil producer, and its symbolic importance as the birthplace of Islam, Saudi Arabia before Abdullah was famously reclusive and conservative in its international dealings. The monarchy was allied with the United States, but members of the sprawling royal family conducted their own virtual foreign policies, from sponsoring radical Islamist movements to funding international terrorism.
Abdul Aziz ibn Saud, Abdullah's father, was born in 1876 to a clan that had ruled the oasis town of Riyadh in the Nejd desert of central Arabia on and off for a century. Driven out of Riyadh by a rival clan in 1890, ibn Saud retook the town with 40 followers in 1902 and went on to conquer the rest of the Arabian peninsula over the next three decades and established the deeply conservative theocracy.
The discovery of oil in the 1930s made the kingdom and the royal family fabulously wealthy. Ibn Saud died in 1953 and was succeeded by a series of his sons, who ruled erratically. Saud, the first, was best known as a spendthrift playboy. Forced to abdicate in 1965, he was succeeded by the harsh and austere Feisal, who was assassinated in 1975. He was succeeded by two popular but ineffectual rulers, Khalid and then Fahd. When Fahd suffered a debilitating stroke in 1995, Abdullah took over as regent. He became king after Fahd's death in 2005.
Few would claim that Abdullah was a crusading liberal. Saudi Arabia is still one of the world's strictest absolute monarchies. It still spends millions each year promoting its ultra-conservative Wahhabi school of Islam around the world. Representative democracy is practically nonexistent. Women still can't drive. Dissenters are publicly flogged. Public beheadings are relatively commonplace, occurring almost weekly. The country is among the world's five leading practitioners of capital punishment, along with China, Iran, Iraq and (ahem) the United States of America.
In his own cautious way, though, the late king took significant strides. He gave women the right to vote, many now attend college, considerable numbers have entered the workforce and starting this year they can run for local office.
Before his accession, restrictions on Jewish entry were so extreme that the first visit by then-secretary of state Henry Kissinger in 1973 was considered a historic moment. Restrictions on Jewish employees of U.S. companies working in the country continued long afterward
In November 1995, the same month that Abdullah became the kingdom's acting ruler, in a little-noticed but historic move, a 10-member delegation from the Anti-Defamation League in New York was invited to Saudi Arabia for an official visit. It was the first of several ADL delegations that have visited, met with government officials including ranking ministers and on several occasions carried messages to Israeli leaders in Jerusalem.
Israeli and Saudi ex-spy chiefs Amos Yadlin (left), Prince Turki al-Faisal (center) dialogue in Brussels, May 26. Moderator David Ignatius at right. / German Marshall Fund-YouTube screen grab
One of the most influential members of the Saudi royal family, former intelligence chief Prince Turki al-Faisal, sat down today with former Israeli military intelligence chief Amos Yadlin for an unprecedented one-on-one public dialogue at a think tank in Belgium. Such direct, public contact between high-ranking Saudis and Israelis is virtually unknown.
It was a mostly amiable, hour-long conversation, marked by more agreement than disagreement as they discussed Iran, Syria, Islamic radicalism and the regional arms race (watch the full video below). On their main topic, Israeli-Arab peace efforts and the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative (text), Turki offered what could be the most explicit public Saudi declaration to date of Saudi willingness to make peace and end the conflict, repeatedly insisting the Arab states have "crossed the Rubicon" and "don't want to fight Israel anymore."
The closest they came to acrimony was when Yadlin, noting that three-fourths of Israelis had never heard of the 2002 peace plan, asked the prince to come to Jerusalem and address the Knesset. Turki replied that it was the Israeli leadership's job to "explain to their people what the Arab Peace Initiative is" and urged Israel to agree to enter discussions based on it. So here's how the Israeli press led its coverage of the event:
"Saudi royal snubs invite to Jerusalem by Israeli ex-intel boss" (Jerusalem Post); "Saudi royal turns down ex-IDF intel chief's invite to the Knesset" (Times of Israel); "Saudi prince declines invite to Jerusalem by Israeli ex-intel chief" (Haaretz). The Hebrew press had no mention of it.
Turki, the youngest son of the late King Faisal, was Saudi intelligence chief from 1977 to 2001. He later served as Saudi ambassador to London and then Washington. Yadlin, a retired major general, was chief of the IDF intelligence directorate from 2006 to 2010. He previously served as deputy commander of the Israeli air force, commander of the military staff colleges and Israeli military attache in Washington.
Both men currently head their respective countries' main national security think tanks.
The dialogue was hosted by the Brussels-based German Marshall Fund and moderated by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius.

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch could bring $5 million to Skittles just by being in Super Bowl XLVIII.
The candy company is going to thank him Tuesday, as the brand and the running back will officially announce a partnership, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.
Lynch's mother gave him Skittles when he was a youngster, calling them "power pellets" that would help him run faster. He's been relying on them ever since. Seahawks fans and pretty much all of Seattle have joined in on his Skittles craze, too, even launching a "Beast Burger" that comes with a side of Skittles at CenturyLink Field. This week, "Beast Mode" Skittle sausage hit the menu at Blue Max Meats butcher shop in Puyallup, Wash.
Skittles also will release a limited-edition "Seattle Mix" that contains green and blue Skittles.

Salem: Police fired teargas to disperse a large number of people who pelted stones at them when they intervened to stop traditional `eruthattam` (bull chase) festival sought to be held in violation of Madras high court orders banning it.
Trouble broke out as devotees of Moonkil Kuthu Muniappan temple in nearby Neikarapatti and 18 surrounding hamlets remained firm on organising the bull chase last evening despite the court not granting permission, police said.
Salem District Collector Magarabhusanam and Superintendent of Police Aswin Kottnis had told the villagers that they cannot hold the event in view of the court orders.
Protesting this, the villagers resorted to road block. When police intervened, they allegedly pelted stones at the police personnel following which police fired teargas shells to disperse them, DIG (Salem Range) Sanjay Kumar said today.
He said nine police personnel, including an Inspector, were injured in the stone pelting. While the Inspector had been hospitalised others were treated as outpatients.
The DIG said 78 villagers were arrested last night and heavy police pickets had been posted in the area.

The most technically advanced Lexus ever, the LS 460 boasts the world's first eight-speed automatic transmissionwith sequential-shift featureand a new 4.6-liter V8 that employs both port and direct fuel-injection systems. Its first long-wheelbase model, the LS 460 L, puts Lexus into a very exclusive group of automakers offering "executive-class" sedans.
The 2015 Lexus LS maintains and expands this full-size luxury sedan's enviable reputation for world-class comfort, impeccable construction and class-leading value. For more than two decades, those values have kept the Lexus LS a prominent player on the premium luxury-sedan stage. For 2015 that continues, as Lexus offers the standard LS 460, sporty LS 460 F-Sport, long-wheelbase LS 460 L, and the powerful LS 600h L hybrid. Most important, the Lexus LS family offers a significant value against more expensive cars like the BMW 7 Series and Audi A8, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Porsche Panamera. Value and luxury are strange bedfellows, but the low cost of ownership boasted by the Lexus LS is a strong selling point for sensible types who are ready to splurge.

Miss Muffets daily rantsSubscribeAlmost a year onposted @3:44am ET on August 19, 2012
Right, so it's almost been a year since my last post lol time flies!
So I changed jobs, and that's been keeping me pretty busy. I also took up a business course (since my new job is my new business), and joined a networking group. Life has been pretty busy!!! A real milestone for me a few months ago was joining my local gym. OMG! Yes, a real gym. Go me! It was alot easier than I thought, as one of my friends/clients works there, so she set it up for me and introduced me to some of the staff. They are so lovely! There's one trainer who is so awsesome, she always says hi every time I go in and we always have a chat/laugh when she's working. So I'm feeling pretty confident about the gym at the moment. I just got my ass kicked the other day as she changed my programme. My legs have only just come right after 3 days! I guess that's a good sign, and a sign that they really needed working on haha. I think a big motivator for me this time round is my health. I have been having digestive problems lately (and they have been getting worse, but I am in the process of sorting that)and working out just makes everything work a little bit smoother. The other thing I have noticed, is that it puts me in such a better mood for the day :) So anyways, promise I will post again before the end of the week!
@ 2:38pm ET on August 20, 2012
Great work joining the gym!!! And I'm glad to hear that the folks who work there are nice and friendly - that certainly makes the gym a more welcoming place!
I love the effect that exercising has on my mood and my confidence. Even when I have to dragggggggggg myself to the gym, I ALWAYS feel great afterwards. It's true what they say - you never regret a workout!

5 Tips on Raising a Good Eater
As a Mom of a 1st grader and a baby learning to eat solids, I'm constantly striking a balance between feeding my kids healthy and feeding them what they'll actually eat. It's a definitely a battle, but one I chose to fight. There's just too many benefits to a healthy diet.
Last week I held a giveaway for a copy of Nancy Tringali Piho's Book, My Two-Year-Old eats Octopus. The winner was Stephanie.
Congrats Stephanie!
For those that didn't win, I highly recommend the book. Click here to check it out on Amazon. It's not going to solve all your feeding woes but it will validate your struggles and give you a new perspectives on how kids eat today.

Written by Laura Hamlett Thursday, 31 January 2013 18:20
I'm incredibly happy—for you and me both—that you're making music again, and that Blueblack Hussar is as good as it is.
Dear Adam:
(I hope you don't mind me using your first name. "Mr. Ant" just seems so formal, especially in light of our long history together. Over 30 years! Who would have guessed my admiration would still be as strong as it was in my adolescence?)
Where can I start except to tell you how proud of you I am? Perhaps it's a strange feeling to have, but I'm incredibly happy—for you and me both—that you're making music again, and that Blueblack Hussar is as good as it is. I know you've been through some challenges (it's unfortunate how the press sensationalizes everything, revealing personal details that really have no place in the public sphere), but you've still got that musical fire in you, and that is oh, so wonderful.
But really, I'm here to talk about your new album, which is pretty damn amazing. Although I've continued listening to your music over the years, I never realized just how good it would be to hear your voice delivering something new again. My speakers have come alive in a way they don't often do, prompting feelings of joy as I sing along to your familiar inflections. I haven't stopped playing Blueblack Hussar since its January 22 release, and expect I won't turn it off for some time yet.
It's hard to pick a favorite song, but near the top has to be "Shrink," not only because it's based on your personal struggles, but because I am immensely fascinated with psychology (and am medicated for my own mental maladies, as well). With this song, you ask the age-old question often posed by we, the prescription drug set: "Is it me or is it just medication?"
The guitar lines in "Sausage" and "Hardmentoughblokes" had me hooked from the get-go (oh, how I"ve missed Marco Pirroni!); I challenge any naysayers to listen to these tracks and not agree that you've still got it. "How Can I Say I Miss You" is both lyrically solid and sonically rewarding, a bit reminiscent of your American West/Kings of the Wild Frontier period. On "Punkyoungirl," you do a great job of flirting with the old sexual proclivity of your youth without veering into dirty old man territory (hey, I've aged too; it happens). Not only that, but it's an addictively fun song.
"Marrying the Gunner's Daughter" is another killer track often stuck in my head. Boz Boorer's guitar is scintillating, and your vocals as honey-smooth and familiar as ever. I remember hearing you play "Vince Taylor" in Chicago last fall and liking it then; having time to sit with it one-on-one has furthered my appreciation. (It's funny you mention Morrissey in this track, as the intro to another one of your songs, "Darlin' Boy," makes me think of his "Maladjusted.") "Stay in the Game" is a solid song evocative of your older work, yet not at all derivative.
Although I know it's too late, I have only one thought: Instead of recording new war whoops for "Who's a Goofy Bunny Then," I think it would have been cool to have used the original vocals from "Prince Charming."
We could reminisce all day, but this is already too long and I'm sure you've got lots to do, what with promoting your new album and planning for the upcoming U.K. and U.S. tours. Know that, despite the infrequency of my communication, your music is never far from my ears. Truly, I thank you, Blueblack Hussar.
All the best, always,

True Blood Season 6, Episode 6 Synopsis: "Don't You Feel Me"
Last time we checked in on True Blood's mentally unstable pack of vampires, werewolves, feral faerie children, and shirtless hotties, everyone was freaking out about getting thrown into Vamp Camp (aka Vampire Jail), which –– despite its name -– is not a camp where vampires learn how to tie-dye T-shirts and sing Kumbaya. Check out HBO's official synopsis for True Blood Season 6, Episode 6: "Don't You Feel Me" for a sneak peek at what to expect during next Sunday's game-changing episode! (This is, of course, after everyone has to "F*** the Pain Away" in Episode 5. Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here. "Bill (Stephen Moyer) decides to seek out Lillith (Jessica Clark) for advice on handling the escalating human-vampire crisis. Eric (Alexander Skarsgård), Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten), Nora (Lucy Griffiths), Jason (Ryan Kwanten) and Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) get up-close-and-personal looks at the perverse perils of Vamp Camp. Sam (Sam Trammell) comes to a decision he hopes will be in Emma's (Chloe Noelle) best interest. Andy (Chris Bauer) gives his faerie daughter a name, or two or three or four. Arlene (Carrie Preston) has a solution to Terry's (Todd Lowe) malaise. Eric makes a startling discovery." Time to break this thing down. First of all, we're thrilled that Bill is reuniting with Lilith with his seeing-the-future dreams, though not sure how much the naked vamp will actually help. Second of all, why are Jess and Jason at Vamp Camp?! Did these crazy kids up and get themselves captured? We knew that Nora and Pam were there, and figured Tara and Eric would follow suit, but why would Jason be thrown into the mix? Did he follow Jessica there to rescue her? So many questions, so little time. Also, we can only assume that Eric's "startling discovery" is code for him realizing that he is, in fact, the hunkiest vampire in Bon Temps. We still love you, Bill, but please. Ever since you emerged from that puddle of Lilith goo, the odds haven't been in your favor.

Ryan Nassib hit Jarrod West for the go-ahead touchdown, Ashton Broyld scored on a 22-yard run and Syracuse beat Stony Brook 28-17 Saturday to snap a seven-game losing streak.
Stony Brook (2-1), which competes in the Football Championship Subdivision, entered the game 0-3 against college football's top tier, the Football Bowl Subdivision. All three losses came in the previous two seasons, but the Seawolves were in this one until the fourth quarter.
Syracuse (1-2) has won its last 29 games against current FCS members, a streak that dates to a 14-13 loss to Holy Cross in October 1958.
The Seawolves entered the game ranked No. 16 in the FCS coaches poll and led the division in total offense. They acquitted themselves well, outgaining Syracuse in the first half behind the powerful running of Miguel Maysonet, who finished with 158 yards rushing, before the Orange defense dug in.

42 year old woman | Winston-Salem, NC, USA | Seeking men 24-49 within 3000 miles
The age of someone you want to date is not as important as the stage of life the person is in.
If we were to first see each other in public, would you just wink or actually say hello to me. So why not do the same here online. But that doesn't mean I won't respond to a wink. I want to find someone for whom I feel passion and feels passion for me. The passion doesn't have to be there all the time, but the feeling of wanting to be together forever does-meaning there are every life realities we have to deal with and I don't require roses, candy and jewelry (romance) all the time. Find out what my love language is and you will understand more. I want someone to care for me and for whom I can care. Someone who is an individual, but also my partner. I find it's hard to really describe yourself without a two way conversation. If you want to know something about me, just ask. I think it takes a spark to ignite the fire and the fire has to be tended to in order to keep it going. In other words, how can you really describe your "perfect match" until you meet and spend time together? If you don't have a pic, please add one. I'm looking for a real relationship to bloom into something meaningful and lasting. I feel I need to add that smoking is a deal breaker for me.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams was a Kickstarter platform game that John liked but didn't love: the former because of the satisfaction of learning each Sister's special skills, the latter because of issues like repetitiveness. If you're of the same mindset and was gunning for an opportunity to do more with the game, developers Black Forest has just the thing for you: a competitive multiplayer mode.

Hail: Risk Of Rain Update Adds Two New Characters
By Graham Smith on October 23rd, 2014.
Risk of Rain looks like a side-scrolling roguelite-shooter and in most regards that's what it is. It's also got a lot in common with ARPGs, in the way its characters' skills function and in how a newly unlocked character can completely change the way you approach the game. The latest update, version 1.2, is significant because it i) switches the game to a new engine and ii) adds two entirely new classes.
Prison Architect Alpha 25 Adds New Ways To Fail
By Graham Smith on September 25th, 2014.
All strategy games strive to reach a certain balance; the point at which the player feels responsible for their successes and failures, but where the simulation is so complex and alive that a perfect, static system can never be built. That's apparently what motivates Prison Architect's 25th alpha, "one of the biggest updates" Introversion say they've ever done. The main new addition is prisoner reputations, a system of personality types that will make creating a perfectly functioning, forever peaceful prison practically impossible.
As ever, there's a video talkthrough and some more detail of the changes below.
Happy Mechsgiving, And A Merry Portalmas To All
By Nathan Grayson on November 22nd, 2012.
I don't think it's possible to have any misgivings over an update officially titled "Mechsgiving." As for Portalmas, well, that one's a bit more up for debate, seeing as it's just a word I made up. But generosity's officially in the air, and both Piranha and Valve are doling out fairly significant updates to their breadwinners, MechWarrior Online and Portal 2. Unfortunately, neither involves gigantic mechanized turkeys, but I suppose beggars in the midst of celebrating a decadent holiday of feasting and lethargy can't be choosers. Still though, that's far from a reason to mope. So let's look under the ol' turkey tree and see what we got.
The British Are Coming! World Of Tanks Stiffens Upper Lip
By John Walker on October 31st, 2012.
I was thinking, seeing that World Of Tanks has unveiled its 8.1 update with accompanying video, that this isn't a Halloweeny thing. What are they doing releasing it today? And then it occurred to me: tanks are actually scary. Ghosts and monsters may be the more traditional source of chills, but their overall efficacy at being frightening is somewhat limited by their not existing. Tanks exist. They blow people up. They could blow you up. Thanks are fucking terrifying. Everyone: dress up as a tank tonight.
Digging Deeper Into Secret World's 'Digging Deeper' Update
By Nathan Grayson on September 13th, 2012.
The Secret World's second issue hasn't exactly had the shortest journey to players' virtual mailboxes, but – after one more brief delay – it should be arriving sometime today. Let's be honest, though: seeing as it's Guild Wars 2's time now (Is that the point they were trying to make? I still don't know), your TSW icon – cold and untouched by a mouse click's caress – probably has the other kind of mouse living inside it at this point. You, I'm guessing, will require some convincing on this one. Funcom seems to think so too, so it's put together a video overview of "Digging Deeper" – just for you, and you alone. And also hundreds of thousands of other people who are incredibly similar to you.
Now With More German: Tribes' 'Marksman' Update
By Nathan Grayson on September 13th, 2012.
The Tribes: Ascend updates keep on rolling out, and so too does evidence of Hi-Rez's continued commitment to filling this game with strange stuff. Sure, they've already added disco, but now there are costumes. And elaborate backdrops. And German. But anyway, as long as the game keeps being good, we should not question the nature of these updates. And there are some pretty intriguing new toys in this update, so here we are.
Hubs, Bub: Steam's Community Revamp Open To All
By Nathan Grayson on September 5th, 2012.
It's not exactly a secret that Steam has a fair bit of clunk in its trunk, but Valve – to its credit – is slowly taking steps to make its digital giant a wee bit gentler. First up, the community. Once a cluttered mess of clicks and disorganized, disjointed pages, it's now evolved into a promising fusion of Facebook, Reddit, and the color gray. And now, with a brief beta out of the way, you can come on in, take off your gaming coat, and have a look around.
Errrr: Origin's "Landmark" 9.0 Update
By Nathan Grayson on July 18th, 2012.
Let me begin this by noting that, in actuality, EA's at least been paying solid attention to Origin lately. Lending a helping hand to crowd-funded games taking their wobbly first steps was a smart idea, and putting out a big call for input from users is a much appreciated gesture – assuming, of course, that EA actually takes resulting criticisms to heart. That said, Origin 9.0 – a self-described "landmark update" – isn't exactly encouraging. Once it rolls out, you'll gain access to a free-floating friends list, re-sizable game icons, and, er, a clock.
Horse Amore: Next Skyrim Update Adds Mounted Combat
By Nathan Grayson on May 25th, 2012.
I have ridden horses before. They're swift, terrifying creatures, and while I attempted to maintain a dignified posture befitting of my stature as Someone Who's Technically From Texas, it was pretty obvious that I was mostly hanging on for dear life. Apparently, though, in addition to the ability to fell dragons with the gentlest of whispers, the Dragonborn will soon be capable of fighting from the back of a horse. Like, without careening off its back in a blur of blood, bones, and white hot terror. That, I believe, is the mark of a true hero.
Dark Knight Prizes: Gotham City Impostors' Free Update
By Nathan Grayson on April 25th, 2012.
Craig may have found Gotham City Impostors to be a run-of-the-mill shooter with the F2P-esque currency equivalent of a hundred-headed hydra, but its zany take on Batman's mythos, at least, kept him from completely giving it the old POW, THWACK, GARBAGE CAN SOUND. It remains to be seen, however, whether or not its recently released update is up that (hopefully not) orphan-spawning alley. At the very least, all of it's free and will grant you access to a new map, the up-close-and-personal East End, and a new coin-collecting mode called Bounty Hunter. More importantly, though, you can now make your character say silly things in other languages. Would you like a trailer? Then put on your ill-fitting batsuit and grapple-flail past the break.
Bikers With Jetpacks: Tribes' 'Raid And Pillage' Update
By Nathan Grayson on April 24th, 2012.
Ah, raiding and pillaging – two activities that, like adorable kittens and cuddling, go hand-in-hand. Tribes: Ascend's Raider is, of course, extremely proficient in both of the former areas (and possibly kitten cuddling as well, though there's a perplexing lack of discussion surrounding the topic), but he's now cruising toward handing out even more bruisings. In tomorrow's update, the Raider will gain the Plasma Gun, the heavy hitting NJ5-B SMG variant, and base-clearing Cluster Grenades. Also en route: a new "Griever" skin that makes him look like an incredibly disgruntled space biker. Sure, he'll bust some generators and play a crucial role in a flag capture, but will it finally bring him peace?
Adventure Time: Minecraft 1.8 Update Leaked
By Adam Smith on September 12th, 2011.
I've been waiting for the Minecraft 1.8 update for a long time. I want all this adventure stuff in my Minecraft now, damn it. Especially those creepy Endermen. Well, lucky me because the update is out! Sort of. While it wasn't due for an official release yet, a version was leaked by one of the testing groups. The pre-release version has now been officially sanctioned, provided it's downloaded from this link here. Play the game, and find bugs and report them. It's like a job that's fun. Let us know what you discover and if it seems like it's been worth the wait. And bear in mind, I won't get to play this for at least another couple of days, so your tales of adventure could nourish me. Go forth!

Linux Desktop Keeps Getting Better with KDE 3.5
Linux Desktop Keeps Getting Better with KDE 3.5
Steven Vaughan-Nichols
Posted 2005-11-29
News Analysis:
The newest version of the KDE Linux and Unix desktop interface will have users happy that vendors have recently decided to keep supporting it.
The KDE Project released the newest version of its K Desktop Environment, KDE 3.5, on Tuesday, to the delight of its many fans. "The improvements made in the past year show how mature the
KDE Project
is. KDE is the most powerful desktop environment and development platform in the market, Stephan Kulow, KDE release coordinator, said in a statement. KDE is one of the two most popular Linux/Unix graphical desktop environments, GNOME being the other. Like GNOME, it comes with a family of KDE-compliant applications ranging from a Web browser, Konqueror, to an IM client, Kopete.
Recently, however, KDE has faced trouble hanging onto the business Linux desktop market.
Novell Inc.
briefly planned to
stop supporting KDE on its business Linux lines
Novell Linux Desktop and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
In the face of protests from KDE users, both inside and outside the Linux company, Novell shifted course and announced that it would
continue to support KDE
in its commercial Linux products. This new version will give users of Novell SUSE, not to mention other KDE-friendly Linux distributions like
Mandriva Linux
more reasons to be happy that KDE is still advancing. KDE 3.5s many improvements start with the interface itself. The Kicker, KDEs desktop application-launcher menu bar, has been greatly improved. It now allows users to add applets to the bar. Users also can set the Kicker and pager, which enable users to switch from one virtual desktop to another, to display in one of three modes: elegant, classic and transparency. In addition, the pager now shows you the application icons of each window to help distinguish between them. Users can drag and drop applications and windows from one virtual desktop to another. KDEs combination default Web and file browser, Konqueror, has also been improved.
Click here
to read more about Novells earlier choice of GNOME over KDE.
Like Mac OS Xs Safari Web browser, Konqueror has now passed the Web Standards Projects
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) compliance test. Konqueror also now only displays the appropriate options for users depending on whether theyre browsing the Web or looking at local or network files. On the Web side, the browser also has an ad-blocking feature. The revised browser also includes an optional search bar. This gives users the power to select a search engine from a dropdown menu. Kopete, KDEs IM client, includes improved interoperability with Microsoft Corp.s MSN and Yahoo Inc.s IM services. Moreover, it includes better audio and video device support for IM-borne videoconferencing.
Read more
about the beta testing of KDE 3.5.
The new KDE also comes with SMN (Storage Media Notification). Most users will be familiar with this from Windows flawed AutoRun design. In Windows, when a CD or other media is placed in a PC, it can automatically start running an application. In KDE, and other desktops and operating systems like Mac OS X, the SMN design detects when removable media, such as a CD or DVD, has been inserted, and notifies the user that the new media is now available through the KDE window manager. The user is then given a choice about what to do with the disk, such as read it, run a program or display a video. Overall, the new KDE also seems to have better performance. While in no way a full review, Ziff Davis Internets initial impressions of KDE 3.5 in action were positive. On a SUSE 10 system with a 2.8GHz Pentium IV, 512MB of RAM and an Ultra ATA/100, 7200 RPM, 60GB hard drive, KDE 3.5 proved to be a tad faster than the original KDE 3.4. In particular, the new Konqueror proved sprightlier in working with both local and LAN-based files and Web sites than its predecessor. While Firefox 1.5 users arent likely to be tempted to give up their browser, Konqueror may just start getting some second looks from Linux desktop users. In a separate development, the KDE Project has also published a new list of
available native KDE
applications, sorted by task areas. Any KDE user will find it useful.

Look out Steve McQueen, Nicholas Cage's vehicles are set to be the new hot thing in automotive auctions. Well, maybe not, but the 1967 Eleanor Mustang ("Don't start with me…no, wait, start, start!") from "Gone in 60 Seconds" sold at the Original Spring Classic Mecum Auction in Indianapolis recently for $1 million. From Autoweek Associate Editor Jake Lingeman, here's the story and some photos.
Only three of the film's 11 Mustangs were working versions, and two were destroyed during shooting. This one was Randal "Memphis" Raines' hero car, used for close-ups near the end of the flick.
The car was built by Cinema Vehicle Services out of Hollywood, Calif., with help from well-known designer Steve Stanford. The builders mocked up the body pieces using clay and wood, and, after that molds were made that included the PIAA driving lights, fender flares, side skirts and scoops.
The car has both power steering and power brakes.
Eleanor carries a 351 V8 under the hood making 400 hp. That power is channeled to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
Could this be the new trend in auto auctions? All Cage, all the time? Doubtful, but if Cage's bike from "Ghost Rider" hits more than six figures, we may have to rethink our position.
The nitrous button, unfortunately, is for looks only.
The suspension was lowered and coilovers were added, along with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires on Schmidt 8x17-inch wheels. The story "1967 Eleanor Mustang movie car sells for $1 million" originally appeared on Autoweek.com.

text: Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth - Inconsiderate Females (Vocal) 1989 by Slice Of Spice published on 2012/08/23 00:16:04 +0000 How about some unreleased Lord Finesse/DJ Premier from the "Funky Technician" sessions recorded in 1989? Lord Finesse and Underboss Ent. have teamed up with Slice Of Spice to release this demo session as a crazy 5" record. Hip Hop Archaeology 101. "What you have right here is the start of a song created during the making of the Funky Technician LP, that was never finished. Lyrically, it was actually parts of a live routine that I was trying to convert into a song for the album. DJ Premier found the loop and started putting the track together, but once Stu Fine (Wild Pitch Records owner) heard the track he immediately made me stop recording due to the extremely raw content. So this unfinished track remained stashed for over 20 years until recently. It's funny 'cos listening to it now makes me wonder what the hell I was thinking [Laughing]. I'm personally glad Stu & DJ Premier made me change my mind, but the track is now being released as an extremely rare limited edition promo. You can thank Rich (Slice Of Spice) for the constant persuasion 'cos if it was left to me I'd have left it buried in the stash!" LORD FINESSE
