  1. Re:Protect your data with custom HOST file... apk on Siri Keeps Your Data For Two Years · · Score: 0

    Alexander Peter KowalskI and anyone arguing with him are insane. I saw their crazy tirades once and googled his name, and HOLY SHIT. This guy has mini battle raging all over many sites for some of the most inane shit you can think of. He meticulously catalogs the people who have crossed him and works to MAKE SURE everyone understands they are fools.

    Now, they well be fools, but by his meticulous and obsessive actions Kowalski (APK) has proved without a shadow of doubt his absolutE insanity. I haven't even argued with this guy so don't think I'm part of these internet crusades. All this I've found by googling his name. The trove of flaming and incomprehensible obsessive agression is humongous and both funny, and pathetic to varying intense degrees. Just google if you are curious about the kinds of crazy that are out there.T

    No kidding. These things have consequences;

    A teenager said he is scared to go outside after he was portrayed on the Internet and on the front page of the New York Post as connected to the deadly Boston Marathon bombings.

    Photos of Salah Eddin Barhoum, 17, and friend Yassine Zaime were posted on websites whose users have been scouring marathon finish line photos for suspects. The two were also on the Post's front Thursday with the headline: "Bag men: Feds seek these two pictured at Boston Marathon."

    The Post reported later Thursday that the pair weren't considered suspects, and the FBI has since identified two other men as suspects in Monday's bombings, which killed three people and injured more than 180.

    Kind of. West is a small Czechoslovakian community founded in the late 19th century. Now it might have grown towards or around the plant, but it was founded far earlier. Their city has a kolache restaurant right off the highway on I35, I always stop when heading past. In fact a picture shown on one of the cable news networks showed the mushroom cloud from that parking lot. I hope the 35 casualty count I just saw on USA TODAY is wrong.

    In either case, little if anything will be done that's relevant to preventing future such acts.

    You seem to be implying that there are things we should be doing that would prevent future such acts. So what should we be doing? I can understand hardening specific point targets like critical infrastructure, and general intelligence gathering. But we are already doing those things. In fact, many people feel that we are already way past the point of diminishing returns. What additional action could we have taken that would have prevented this?

  18. Re:Kissinger on "The Kissinger Cables": WikiLeaks Releases 1.7M Historical Records · · Score: 1

    You are not going far enough. That line can be drawn from Eisenhower and Kermit Roosevelt (Ted's grandson) the CIA operative who convinced the Shah to participate in a coup, to Hezbollah, and 9/11. The Shah was a coward who never would have agreed without British/US pressure. After the first coup failed he fled to a vacation home, then the first place with a British Embassy (Iraq).

    The British were pissed that they (Mossadegh and parliament) were nationalizing the Anglo-Persian oil company. They were ripping them off through accounting tricks and treating the workers like paid slaves. The Iranians wanted the 5050 arrangement the US and the Saudis had. The British had 100+ years of experience dealing with their "slaves." Eisenhower, not was not concerned with this, until someone painted the picture with a red brush. One utterance of the "c" word (no, not the colloquial word for vagina) and minds changed.

    All of the sudden Iran's fledgling parliament and democracy was destroyed, and the admiration shown for the USA as a country which threw off the yoke of British colonialists and appeared as a beacon of freedom to most Iranians was lost forever. Mossadegh could have ushered in a strong democracy with the oil power and wealth of the Saudis and the moderation of his European education. The world could be very different.

    You are starting to understand how they feel about you. That is the real problem here. They can't just abandon their long range nuclear weapons programme because it is the only thing protecting them. They have to play this dangerous game.

    I don't know what the solution is. I know what it isn't though: military intervention.

    I think both sides keep pouring gas over the peninsula (U$ refined!) The question is increasingly: who lights the match?

    Not that that is the only outcome, but China is getting unnerved. See Xi Jinping's comments today.

    But really, this Israel hate is laughable. People see the Israelis as invaders who locked out the Palestinians, yet the same people seem to never care that equal or greater numbers of Jews were banished from the multitude of Arab lands they called home for centuries.

    Two wrongs != right, but one of them is often forgotten. I sympathize with the criticism, but not the outright hostility.
