this situation seems to be going around a bit lately..

"It doesn't do the Government's case any favours if you've got statements being made that aren't supported by the scientific literature that's out there. With larger mammals it's fishing gear that's the big problem. On a global basis plastic bags aren't an issue. It would be great if statements like these weren't made."

Microsoft wants to do the same, but in reverse, and faces an infinitely bigger challenge: rebuild Microsoft apps so they can become cloud enabled while pulling its giant channel (and embedded software) along in the process. Good luck with that, Microsoft. But then again, just because Google is making faster progress doesn't mean much. There's no guarantee users will like the unplugged versions of cloud apps.

Yes the use of flash triggers is interesting as it was used get the British Army's radio jamming devices
The real fun is who first thought of it :-)

I doubt anyone would be interested in your single account.
Those who are of interest are hardly going to let a real impersonator access things.

The manager of the bank nearby was followed home and his family were held hostage whilst he was sent to open the bank up.
Scary to think these things happen in your community.

Funny, I do almost all my fleeing from snipers online. Well, other than on my drives through Phoenix.

Okay; I live in France, and haven't personally run across any "have babies" campaigns, but I don't consume much popular media so that doesn't say much. So I googled for info on France's birth rates and got this:
    http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/markets/europe/article1293515.ece

Lo and behold, birthrates were dropping too fast a few decades back, so they launched programs (like widespread, high-quality free childcare) to help support women who want to have kids without sacrificing their careers. Now the fertility rate has risen to 2 kids per woman (the low point was back in '94; it's been rising ever since). Sarkozy promised to continue to raise spending on childcare.

So what I was talking about -- the system correcting itself -- already happened in France. It doesn't look like it was all that horrible to achieve, though I don't doubt the failed campaigns you mentioned also exist (perhaps campaigns that simply encouraged childbirth without actually addressing the *reasons* why many women weren't having more kids?).

Where's the disaster looming? Discomfort, definitely -- in the countries where birthrate is still down at 1.2 or so, even once they raise it back to replacement rates there's still a long lag before those new babies can work. But as the problem looms larger, the reactions also increase.

Maybe the US would have been screwed anyway, but it's now $3 trillion more screwed than it would have been without the war. That's $10,000 per person -- a significant amount of extra screwing, I'd say.

OK I watched your videos. I can't speak for anyone else here but I don't doubt for a second the news agencies in every part of the world are spinning the coverage of the events in Tibet for their own goals (Chinese media as well as "Western" media). That's the reason I turned off my tv 2 years ago. That's not what we are discussing. As for the other video, every protest is going to turn violent with sufficiently large numbers of participants. but all of this is beside the point.

The Chinese government is systematically dismantling the culture of the Tibetan people. Has the US done this? Of course we have. I live in southwest Louisiana. I am a Cajun. My grandparent's first language is Cajun French, not English. My grandparents were beaten in school if they spoke French. My government nearly destroyed my heritage so I am not just blowing smoke out my ass when I speak about this topic.

Now my children are taught to speak Cajun French in school. The preservation of my cultural heritage is being financed by the US government and the state of Louisiana. There are festivals celebrating our Acadian heritage such as Festivals Acadiens and Festival International de Lousiane

Can China claim the same thing about the cultural heritage of the Tibetan people? If there is no state religion in China then what the hell are they doing getting involved in the finding of tulkus?

Why are Buddhist temples still being destroyed in Tibet?

According to The Time, the Polish economy is booming, and the Poles are actually going back home because they have a higher quality of living back home than they do in the UK.

I think we used to take tea breaks during battles too! Wonder how that would go down in iraq?

You may have heard about the recent recipient of the Military Cross, Fusilier Damien Hields. He fought off 150 Taliban fighters with a grenade machinegun. Unsurprisingly, his vehicle got a bit shot up in the process.

Now, I'm not saying that tea is ingrained into the British psyche so to speak, but when struggling for a way to describe just how wrecked the vehicle was, his commanding officer had this to say:

I was astonished at the state of his vehicle. There were so many holes in it, it was like a teabag.

So yes, they might be in the thick of battle, but tea is never far from the mind.

Neither were reported outside Illinois: http://news.google.co.uk/news?q=Klutzo+clown -- but as you say, it's very local.

The location search on Google News doesn't seem very good, unfortunately: http://news.google.co.uk/news?q=tornado+location:uk&scoring=n I can see the story on the BBC News site, and Google News returns it with an advanced search just for BBC News, but it should really be on the UK results page (I tried 'England' 'Britain' 'United Kingdom' 'London' but nothing returned the BBC result).

Completely unrelated, but there's a clown^H^H^Hpolitician in London, and he wants to be mayor. The Times says "It's always been difficult to imagine Boris running anything more complicated than a bath" which is pretty accurate...

I thought it was Stupidity.
Althought I can't see it on the new list...

Per the Times, the Beatles are still one of the top sellers of British acts as of 2006.

Also, a movie called Across The Universe featuring re-recorded Beatles tunes just came out a year ago and did well in the theatres with a new generation of fans.

Beatles music hasn't stop selling. From new fans just discovering them as they grow up to Baby Boomers who are just discovering things like iTunes, there are sales to be made.

and just how do you propose to make a state surrender its own interests and that of its prime constituencies to outside "communities" answerable to no one but themselves?

Good luck with that deadly force thing.

The Iraqi and Afghanistan wars (I use the term loosely) have cost around $3,000,0000,0000,000.00 so far. How can you take up arms against a government which is willing to use those types of resources? I believe the ratio of dead Iraqi/American in this conflict is on the order of 100/1 (it is much less with documented numbers http://www.iraqbodycount.org/ http://www.google.com/search?q=dead+iraqi+count&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a, but with these numbers it is still over 22:1). Just how do you propose using deadly force against something like that?

I think the boxes line needs some revision. With the type of money out there to buy the votes, individual votes in the ballot box have little impact. I am 33, and I have never been in a jury box. I don't see the ammo box as a viable option. However, the soap box is getting more and more powerful. Here is a draft for others to pick apart:

There is one box to be used in defense of liberty: soap. But other boxes can be a lot of fun.

Everything else, of course, the individual can pay for, but providing basic care - an annual physical, immunizations, emergency care when necessary, etc - ought to be a no-brainer.

Talking of Nazism, the release of a single Nazi-porn film is causing MPs in the UK to call for new censorship powers.

They claim they want to give the public more power - in fact, the film was approved years ago after the BBFC relaxed its censorship policies, after consulting with the public. What they actually mean is, they want the power to ban films everytime there is a media uproar from a vocal minority (who haven't even seen the film).

Of course they string out Nazism as the worse example, but we know the law won't stop at Nazi films. The Bogey Man, Death Trap, The Evil Dead and Zombie Flesh Eaters are the new "video nasties", along with Manhunt, which was blamed for a murder, even though it was the victim who owned a copy of the game.

I find the idea of a connection between these films and neo-Nazi groups laughable anyway - as if neo-Nazis are horror film and video nasty fans. Indeed, people who watch these are more likely to be seen as "deviant", and hence more likely to be persecuted by any Nazis anyway!

MP Julian Brazier is the prude who wants to control what you watch. Write to your MP if you disagree. The law is currently being debated in Parliament.

My opinion is that smokers in open air are too small a health problem to impose such a harsh restriction.

CO2 has health impacts, especially when it's kept down by smog-like conditions. Ask an asthmatic how he feels about it...

It's nice to be consistent, but be careful about extremes like "0% or nothing". Usually the best solution lies in between the extremes, rarely at them.

"serves no legitimate purpose, that would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress, and that actually causes substantial emotional distress to that person",

This is the foot in the door for crazy religious zealots to bring lawsuits or try to get criminal action againt anyone the voices opinions that go against thier world view.

Case in point, the Islamic fundementalist attacks on Salman Rushdie.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article1948375.ece

or the attacks on Doctors and patients of Abortion clinics.

Not to mention the furvor over Creationist vs Evolution.

This law if framed this way and passed could lead to anyone who states that the idea's expressed cause me "suffer substantial emotional distress". The only thing they would have to prove is that they were a "reasonable" person. In many juristictions this would be hard to say no, that good church going (temple going) God fearing person was not "reasonable" because they held "protected" religious views. It would be a really, really bad thing to have on the books.

You might say, no one would do that. That is not the intent of the law! Well if you look at the Child protection laws, they were passed originally using the cruelty to animal laws. Back then you could torture your children but not a horse. The law is a tool for lawyers and people with agenda's to use in creative ways to obtain their ends.

Since we're all for China bashing, have a look at the U.S. - China Economic and Security Review Commission's 2007 report to congress, which states, "Chinese espionage activities in the United States are so extensive that they comprise the single greatest risk to the security of American technologies". Add to that the MI5's recent warning that big EU firms were being targetted for web-based espionage, and the lynch mob might have to drop their pitchforks and go think this thing over. I might sound a little redundant because I've made mention of this before, but as an information assurance tech working in the field (Operation Iraqi Freedom to be exact), the whole bash-the-China-basher thing resonates. Make no mistake about it--China is using the web to actively target the US military-industrial complex, as well as key commercial and civil interests. There are numerous statements from the Pentagon which allude to this, although the often classified nature of threat-specific information demands ambiguity. Lots (and I mean lots) of recent activity might change that though.

The parent's not trolling - "uncool" music is indeed used to deter antisocial behaviour by young people. the effect is well known http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4154711.stm.

Actually, under the UK's Wilson Convention not even the coppers are allowed to do that, although it hasn't stopped them recently...

AFAICT, the Wilson Convention (or Doctrine) is not legally binding. See, for example, the Times's summary of it here.

You're not up to date. The US no longer has to apply for extradition.. in fact it's perfectly legal for them to send bounty hunters over here, grab who they want, and ship them back to the US for tort.. err, sorry.. humane treatment. (Source).

It is of course not legal for the UK to reciprocate.

Dunno what the word on the street in the EU is, but around these parts, it's pretty well known that China is doing their best to use the web to exploit anything and everything they can. There are also numerous examples of attacks widely suspected to be sponsored by the Chinese gov on US agencies, including the military. On top of that, it was only a couple of months ago that the UK's MI5 issued a warning that China was actively targeting European financial and oil firms for web-based espionage! Maybe you should stop watching Fox News and start paying attention to your IDS logs . . .

Besides, I'd be amazed if e.g. India, Pakistan, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, South Africa, and Iran weren't also active (or trying to be active) in this field.

The Edmonds case is fascinating, but the latest stuff she's been saying sounds a tad ludicrous. But considering the FBI has gone to an __awful__ lot of trouble to silence her, it may just be as bad as she says.

The full article is here. Unless you just want to hook this guy up with ad revenue instead of getting the full story, of course.

Maybe that's because the MSM love to not talk about how bad the war is going. Most Iraq news is buried in major newspapers or in foreign news services, which most Americans don't bother reading.

Economists have been critical of Greenspans 2003 decision to cut interest rates which, they argue, helped create the housing bubble, the collapse of which provoked this summers banking crisis.

So Bush wasn't president at that time?

Or here back in 2004: http://www.tompaine.com/articles/overcoming_the_bubble_economy.php

The damage from the overvalued dollar threatens to be even more dangerous. With President Bush largely maintaining the high dollar policy, the trade deficit and foreign debt have continued to rise at a rapid pace. The current account deficit hit an incredible $660 billion in the most recent quarter, more than 5.7 percent of GDP. This deficit will push total foreign debt to more than $3 trillion by the end of this year. On its current path, it will exceed $7 trillionapproximately 50 percent of GDPby 2009.

The deficit is actually $9 trillion, not $7 trillion, and that's a full year ahead of schedule. What ever happened to "the buck stops here?"

And I guess Bush never said this back in 2002, which was the signal to lower loan standards http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/06/20020618-1.html - my comments in italics ...

But I believe owning something is a part of the American Dream, as well. I believe when somebody owns their own home, they're realizing the American Dream. They can say it's my home, it's nobody else's home. (Applause.) And we saw that yesterday in Atlanta, when we went to the new homes of the new homeowners. And I saw with pride firsthand, the man say, welcome to my home. He didn't say, welcome to government's home; he didn't say, welcome to my neighbor's home; he said, welcome to my home. I own the home, and you're welcome to come in the home, and I appreciate it. (Applause.) He was a proud man. He was proud that he owns the property. And I was proud for him. And I want that pride to extend all throughout our country.

One of the things that we've got to do is to address problems straight on and deal with them in a way that helps us meet goals. And so I want to talk about a couple of goals and -- one goal and a problem.

The goal is, everybody who wants to own a home has got a shot at doing so. The problem is we have what we call a homeownership gap in America. Three-quarters of Anglos own their homes, and yet less than 50 percent of African Americans and Hispanics own homes. That ownership gap signals that something might be wrong in the land of plenty. And we need to do something about it.

We now know that not everyone who wants a home should be able to get one just because they can fog a mirror.

We are here in Washington, D.C. to address problems. So I've set this goal for the country. We want 5.5 million more homeowners by 2010 -- million more minority homeowners by 2010. (Applause.) Five-and-a-half million families by 2010 will own a home. That is our goal. It is a realistic goal. But it's going to mean we're going to have to work hard to achieve the goal, all of us. And by all of us, I mean not only the federal government, but the private sector, as well.

this was the initial go-ahead by Bush for the private sector to eas up on lending standards for mortgages

And so I want to, one, encourage you to do everything you can to work in a realistic, smart way to get this done. I repeat, we're here for a reason. And part of the reason is to make this dream extend everywhere.

so the mortgage industry came out with all sorts of snake-oil financial schemes, to extend the "dream" everywhere - ev

More than strange: supposedly he used accounts that were not his, so even if he made money with them, the gain would not have been credited to him. Since he did not attempt to steal the money, but to make money for the bank and increase his status and get promoted further, this does not make much sense.

How about this: his manager notices that a few times he used accounts that did not belong to him, and since some of the investments the bank made turned sour, gave him the choice of being accused of attempting to steal from the bank and spend the rest of his life in prison, or cooperate and take the blame for the losses of the bank and be charged only with overstepping his bounds, get away with only a fine and drive a cab for the rest of his life ?

"The FBI has been accused of covering up a file detailing government dealings with a network stealing nuclear secrets" http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article3216737.ece

Which was itself a follow-up to

"For sale: West's deadly nuclear secrets" http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article3137695.ece

Basically, the story was that Sibel Edmonds, an FBI translator listening to comm intercepts looking for Middle Eastern "terrorists," discovered evidence of a network of US, Israeli, Turkish and Pakistani nuclear weapons secrets trading. She's told the FBI - they fired her. She told Congress - they placed her under a gag order and threatened to jail her if she talked about it. She's even agreed to tell the story to any American media outlet (which means she's willing to go to jail so people can know), as long as the outlet agrees to tell the whole story, and not edit it to hide the truth. So far, all American sources have refused to cover the story.

Interesting tidbit - the CIA front company, "Brester Jennings," for which Valerie Plame worked before she was outed by Cheney and company, had as its mission tracking nuclear weapons activity in the ME. Outing Plame meant the Brewster Jennings cover was completely blown, like a wiretap being discovered. Which means that Plame's outing, with its supposed rationale as payback for exposing Bush's lies about Iraq and uranium, may have been nothing more than a convenient two-fer with a great cover story, when the real goal was to take out CIA assets who were getting too close to something far more important.

... try the original Times article..

The BoingBoing writeup is so irritatingly fragmentary it's hard to tell what it's even saying. Which is a good description of BoingBoing in general, actually.

A software glitch of this type (if that's what it was) has never happened in aviation history. Certainly not in the 10 year history of the 777, with more than 500 of them flying around the world, but not to any other type either.

IAAAE (I Am An Aeronautical Engineer) and to take serious issue with that statement.

According to the Times today, there have been at least 2 reported computer 'glitches' on 777s in the last 3 years. One lowered the airspeed from 270 to 158 knots along with putting the a/c in a 3000'/min climb causing it to stall. The other caused an uncommanded lurch to the right.

There have been numerous other computer (software AND hardware) glitches and failures in many aircraft, some leading to accidents (remember the A320 landing in the woods?) but most detected and corrected by the pilots. A brief search of the AAIB database should show that.

and yes, the aircraft did stall, despite what the article summary says

Of course it stalled. It hit the ground short of the runway - the pilots were doing everything possible to get over the fence. After flaring the aircraft, it is usually lowered to the ground. By holding off till stall (at a few metres above the ground), they probably got an extra 20 or 30m of flight. This was probably enough to get the aircraft onto the tarmac where it stopped, easing the evacuation and recovery. It did not, however, stall during flight when the error began.

"I don't know who is to blame," Mr Easterbrook says. "The issue of obesity is complex and is absolutely one our society is facing, there's no denial about that, but if you break it down I think there's an education piece: how can we better communicate to individuals the importance of a balanced diet and taking care of themselves? Then there's a lifestyle element: there's fewer green spaces and kids are sat home playing computer games on the TV when in the past they'd have been burning off energy outside.

"The Government has a part to play, individuals have a responsibility and so does the food and drink industry. These are the three pillars that need to work together and demonstrate that they have a commitment to solving the issue. We're front and centre of the diet piece of the debate and, as a large business with a big influence, it is a responsibility that we accept as a leader in our sector."

So, does that mean that every charity and bank out there who has to deal with administrative headaches because he gave his information away should get to poke sticks in his eyes?

He was referring to some discs lost by British governments officials containing financial details of tens of thousands of people. After his recent experience, he apparently now considers this a serous problem. The officials are the ones that should be poked (hyperbole, he's not in Saudi Arabia).

"I've found that most people who aren't either professional or dedicated hobbyist cooks or serious gourmands don't really know intuitively what's going to taste good. They know they like "chicken primavera", "buffalo wings", "pizza", or "eggplant parmesan" and might look up a recipe or two"

There is a middle ground of folks who aren't *dedicated* hobbyists but who have enough experience to throw things together well and experiment reasonably frequently.

You don't have to be dedicated to come up with your own recipes that taste good, just experimental and not afraid to throw the odd thing straight in the bin (using red wine instead of white in Gothnet's pesto, pancetta, garlic, tomato, rocket and wine sauce was a BAD plan). You get there after a while though. Maybe most people don't make the effort though, as you say.

I hear you on the pepper sauce. I wouldn't go as far as buying vintages or single crops, but there is more to hot sauce than either vinegar, sat and chili powder, or the other extreme of habanero oil. Personally I like a piri-piri style hot sauce with lime (and stuff).

BTW - habaneros aren't the hottest chili any more, check out the Dorset Naga.

(and yes, that's right, the world's hottest chili comes not from Mexico or the far east, but from one of England's sleepier shires...)

That's a problem with British people though isn't it? I've never heard of glassing people anywhere other than Britain.

England seems to be entering a wierd sort of state where if you bash someone in the face with a glass, which should be attempted murder and punishable with a life sentence, the pub is somehow at fault for giving you a glass, so everyone is given plastic ones instead. And if someone shoots up a school, everyone loses the right to join a shooting club. If there is any crime with knives, knives are banned. The actual perpetrators of the crimes tend to get a light sentence though compared to most other countries. It's almost like people are expected to be animals and the pub is responsible for their behaviour, a bit like a pet owner is of his pets.

Pretty soon I suspect there will be a Happy Slapping like craze for poking people in the eye with sharp fingernails and blinding them and then everyone in British will need to be declawed like pet cats. If you're still in Britain you'd better hope that the Happy Slappers don't start jackrolling women since the government might decide to castrate everyone like pets too.
