Interpol Chief's Identity Spoofed On Facebook
An anonymous reader writes "Ronald Noble, Interpol's Secretary General, has revealed that cybercriminals have opened two fake Facebook accounts using his name and used them to gather sensitive information. 'One of the impersonators was using this profile to obtain information on fugitives targeted during our recent Operation Infra Red,' Noble said. 'This Operation was bringing investigators from 29 member countries at the Interpol General Secretariat to exchange information on international fugitives and lead to more than 130 arrests in 32 countries.'"
The whole Ebonics system was just an attempt to "work" the system. The education system provided extra money for children whose home language was not English. This was going to highly motivated, upwardly mobile children with very supportive parents, mostly from South-East Asian backgrounds, who didn't really need extra support. Meanwhile, children from the "ghetto", with little or no parental support and apparently headed to repeat the cycle of little education and a life of crime, were getting nothing. Ebonics was invented in order to try and divert some of that money to what was seen, rightly or wrongly, as a better cause.
Consciousness is an illusion caused by an excess of self consciousness.
Use more limbs. Humans are just about getting beyond the point of using a 100-year-old keyboard design (thank you Apple for bringing this forward), but they are still getting their voices and feet idle pointlessly at a computer workstation.
