CAIRO (AP) — Watching the events in Tunisia, where a leading anti-Islamist politician was shot to death this past week, members of Egypt's liberal opposition are fearfully asking: Could it happen here too?
Their fears of a renegade Islamist attack on any of the top opposition leaders have been hiked by religious edicts issued by hardline clerics on TV saying they must be killed.
Islamic democracy functions like this: One man, one vote . . . once.
Once they get in power, the first order of the day is to kill off any opposition. There is never a real election again.
A good set of rules already exists:
1. No poofters.
2. No member of the faculty is to maltreat the "Abos" in any way whatsoever—if there's anyone watching.
3. No poofters.
4. I don't want to catch anyone not drinking in their room after lights out.
5. No poofters.
6. There is no... rule six.
7. No poofters.
Actually, I'm surprised that the French are not insulted by the move. Google is not admitting any guilt about "stealing content". Google is saying that French media companies need "development aid", like a Internet Third World country. In other words, Google is not the problem, the French media organizations are, because they have yet to understand this newfangled Internet thingie.
So I wonder where this money will actually be spent . . . ? First a few big lavish kick-off parties for the heads of the media companies and politicians. Then, fund a few big studies at French research institutes, like INRIA.
Poof! That 60 € million is gone, and nobody is the wiser.
. . . because sometimes, Libraries of Congress aren't appropriate as units.
You could, however, measure total processing power as number of Libraries of Congress filled with iPhones. Which would make just amount sense of comparing a Mars Rover to a smart phone in the first place . . .
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if a tax on patience would be Hollande's next Taxe du Jour. He can't raise the taxes of everyone all at once, because then everyone would be pissed off at him. So instead, he is targeting many small groups, with many different taxes.
Everybody like a tax that somebody else pays. Tax the rich? Sure, it only hits the rich! The "Nutella Tax"? No, I am not kidding, this is also a new one. Well, that depends on if you eat Nutella or not. Another targets people who rent apartments.
So the question is, how long will it take for the French to realize, that they are all paying more taxes in the long run . . . ?
American technology companies should not take it personally. Hollande is just doing to them, what he is doing to the rest of the folks in France.
"On Thursday, Ortiz insisted Swartz -- who she now characterizes as 'mentally ill' --"
So how long has she been investigating him . . . ? And now his 'mentally ill' issue comes up . . . ?
Sorry, I don't buy that. That boy was investigated so thoroughly, she knew where every pimple on his ass was. She is trying to toss him into the 'mentally ill` tank with the current catch of shooters, hoping that 'mentally ill' now tags someone as a criminal, in the public eye.
She is just trying to save her political career. She had her eyes on Senator or Governor of Massachusetts.
They'll personally pick up that $1 billion wherever you want, and hand it back to personally wherever you want it. All perfectly legal. Oh, they will want a small "taste" of that $1 billion. Hell, they'll take it to the Moon or Mars for you. The first manned colonies there will be tax shelters.
Or they could mint some $1 billion platinum coins, and take them in their pockets on flights from London to San Francisco.
Evading taxes, is never a problem for big corporations. Now that they are investing $1 billion in the property in London, the rent rates in that neighborhood will surely skyrocket. Who owns, or partially owns, the real estate in the area . . . maybe Google, as well . . . ?
Buy up some cheap real estate in a distressed area, and then build something big there. The cheap real estate suddenly becomes quite valuable. A nice business plan . . .
What worries me more, is what brain is controlling that legal hand . . . ? It doesn't seem to be the US government at all. It's more like the US Justice Department was acting like private cops working for Hollywood.
The same for the Aaron Swartz case. Who was driving that prosecution . . . ?
So why did these two pick this case to bite into like a pit-bull and not let go? They had political ambitions . . . who were their sponsors and donators? And what were the financial interests of those mentors . . . ? Did that affect their decision to aggressively prosecute this case?
Because social class inequality is greater in the United States than in any of the countries with which we can reasonably be compared, the relative performance of U.S. adolescents is better than it appears when countries’ national average performance is conventionally compared.
So the US is number one in social class inequality! Yeah! We're number one!
This just means that the US has extremely rich kids, who are smart. And extremely poor kids, who are dumb.
And it demonstrates that you can prove anything you want by fiddling with statistical samplings.

That's what Bill Clinton signed...
That's what Bill Clinton stained...
Well, at least he actually knows how to program. Take a look at the CEOs of HP, IBM, Oracle, Dell, SAP, Cisco, . . . etc.
Most of them probably can't even manage to program themselves out of a paper bag.
Now, what programming languages does Steve Ballmer know . . . ?
. . . and the other one, "Colbert`s Sister" . . .
Actually, we should be discussing which Papal Candidate has the most Tech Friendly platform.
But just like other political candidates, the Papal Candidates will promise us a tech friendly regime, but fail to deliver after being elected.
Where are the leading candidates' homepages anyway . . . ?
And, do I need ID to register to vote . . . ? This was a bit of a controversy in the last US election.
Meanwhile, what authorities are allowing on Egyptian television, http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/02/09/fear-of-assassinations-haunt-egypt-opposition/1905675/

How about a warning sticker?
"Warning: UEFI Inside!"
In Soviet Kanada, Corporate Spyware apt-gets you!
They'll just send someone by to install it:
Ding-Dong! "Hi, I'm from your local utilities, I'm here to read your power meter, check your gas meter, and install our Corporate Spyware for you."
Easy in Canada . . . nobody bothers to lock their front doors.

Just replace poofters with "imminent threat."
. . . do you end up with a raging fire . . . ?
Sorry, guys . . . no one will be able to outbid The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation . . .
If Bill Gates wants redemption, by doing good works, instead of fighting disease in Africa . . . he should have stopped the disease that was SCO FUD.

Well, I've got one of these plugged into my Samsung Galaxy Note 2:

I wrote some USB host code to read the stick, and send alarms with MQTT to an IBM Intelligent Operations Center.
Maybe I need to move to China, or something.
. . . my employer has outsourced sleep.
Just use some chutzpah. Contact them, and specifically ask about this project:

It seems that with any new technology, porn always wants to be one of the first users.
This is a sign that Raspberry Pi will be a great success, if the Adults Only crowd is moving there!
We will never escape these "Dark Ages" we're all living in.
Sure we will. We're already merrily on our way to bombing ourselves back into the "Stone Ages".
This could be worse than Y2K!
. . . and more lucrative, for retired C hackers who want to earn a few bucks . . .
The COBOL boys had their turn with Y2K. Next up, are the C-bies.
They've been taxing my patience for years now!

getting a record with medical equipment
Well, the DHS already has experience with medical examinations. They play with my balls before I can fly on a plane.
Funny, though. They never ask me to cough. And I never know why flying with a hernia is such a big deal.
So why did these two pick this case to bite into like a pit-bull and not let go? They had political ambitions . . . who were their sponsors and donators? And what were the financial interests of those mentors . . . ? Did that affect their decision to aggressively prosecute this case?
This, FTA, states it better:
