Among the multiple second-stage components downloaded to Windows PCs compromised by Peacomm [..]
Like you I had the same question, and apparently only Windows. In part, that's why I only use Windows with stock components (with the exception of Office) for business. For everything else, Linux. Knock knock knock on wood.
I sat behind the great firewall of China. Personally, I found it to be quite refreshing at times, since it blocked porn sites from popping up in google for even the blandest of searches like "pinyin". Yeah, I know what you're saying too, well, try learning about GIMP and searching for it in google (america) some time and see what pops up as you step a child through some examples. Conversely, my entire internet access was disabled in China for quite some time when I tried to visit wikipedia on that very same "pinyin" search.
I think there is some room for compromise here. I like the IE7 anti phishing feature. Sure, I'm observant enough to know when I'm redirected to 209.32.33.44/whatever instead of another eBay or paypal account link. However, the feature I like about this browser implementation is that I am presented with the option of continuing at risk to myself. I like the fact that some third party is looking out for my personal interests, albeit for myself, family, or business. I think the Norwegian government should instead work with Microsoft and the OSS community on implementing such controls in a browser. The norwegian government, like Microsoft, can collect it's own statistics on what may be offensive or harmful. With some IE7 or firefox plugin, you allow the user to make that choice on his own as you insert your very own disclaimer in between. I can see that little green anti phishing status bar going off like crazy as it checks against some database daily. Why can't the Norwegian government (a democracy afterall) do something similar here? We always have that choice of not downloading that plugin or turning it off as we see fit.
The person who originally coined and *misused* the term moot (in today's context) is most likely dead, which in some small irony, makes every discussion using his interpretation ever since equally "irrelevant" and "pointless". However, moot has Old English origins in the German word "motan" or "mot" (which means meeting or meet). Back then, a moot point was something *very* relevant and discussed about in meetings. So, as a point of order, I hereby declare this entire discussion moot, and my attempts at grammatical correctness as an equally grand mootailure at best.
Heck, we only contribute less than 0.5% of gases in the atmosphere according to the actual measurements--most comes from two things, volcanoes and water vapor exchange on the oceans.
Yep. It really is man's hubris to think we can affect anything on this great big biosphere in space. But that hasn't stopped him yet from trying, or thinking he already had.
Say what??? I did not know Crichton directed Westworld (with Yul Brynner). Holy smokes; one of my all time favorite movies. I don't care what/. says anyways, this Crichton feller is a genius! GENIUS I TELL YA!!!! I would like to subscribe to his newsletter, if he has one.
In a summary, sounds like police were just questioning a homeowner for selling mustache kits and wigs out of his garage. Homeowner, "Well, some people cannot grow a beard or hair". Officer, "Well, you know some kids will try to buy beer with this." Homeowner, "Possibly, but I run a practice as an Oncologist who treats radiation patients." Officer, "Very well, remember you need a business permit to do that. Good day."
If we are to compete with the evil M$, we need cooperation between distros, not bickering.
By the same token we box with sparring partners or with other contenders, an exchange of lessons and mitigating those mistakes is how one should train in hopes of wrestling that gold belt from his waist.
The Monday morning quarterback rests comfortably in his armchair. The meticulous preparations and planning starting a week before has failed 100% of NFL coaches; some Hall of Famers. As a faithful fan, we strap on neither helmet nor pads nor clipboard, yet we surmise to possess some insight lost on either. As a loyal fan, we bear the burdens of silence and hope, trusting steadfast in our faith amidst the many seasons of our misfortune leading to the Super Bowl. Even awash in isolation and despair and no ring to bear, both coach and player alike find victory in the loyal fan.
The strong-arm tactics backfired badly for this particular case - good for her, but not something to discourage the RIAA in general, they'll just have to be a bit less aggressive to defendants.
I think this case was an exception, and the RIAA lawyers probably handled the case poorly in this instance (as you cite). However, their is a tremendous amount of legal precedent (not to mention varying state laws) which do hold parents accountable for their children's actions on the internet.
Two honor students in California setup an eBay shop and defrauded many. Parents paid $25000. Twelve year old girl in New York downloaded music off P2P. Parent paid $2000. There are many more. This is no time for sighs of relief; maybe just a quick gasp for air.
The movie industry has no recourse here. In fact, libraries work with them. Plus, every library has a budget; which is why you will never see such a vast movie selection as say Blockbuster.
You're right. Libraries are still indispensable and quite serene as well; leaning against a book shelf while engulfed in a novel is pleasantly mesmorizing. I used to grab an old VHS movie on the way out as well. Even though this new service detaches that physical association in some respects, I'm an avid fan of old movies in general and those are quite difficult to find on bittorent or the like. Put some old Andy Hardy movies with Mickey Rooney up there and I'll definitely use this service.
"By utilizing the emerging OpenID Attribute Exchange specification (see specs), users are able to clearly control what pieces of information can be shared by their Identity Provider, such as their name, address, or phone number."
I wonder just how long before some spam king taps this central database.
Yes, sir. Quite a bit actually. Doug Kaufman, who hosts "Know the Cause" has Dr. Cass Ingram on the television show quite frequently as a guest. You ask for evidence, like we all would. Both of them talk about their experiences in the medical professions over the past *three* decades. There is a wealth of evidence in medical journals and science research involving these fungal disease associations. Just google for "fungus cancer" for starters.
I just pulled that one off google which really illustrates the primary concern of these men and those who follow their analysis (like me). There are actual links to these case studies if you search further. But that link there really helps focus this discussion on what I have come to believe is the root cause of most 20th century diseases. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying the pharmaceuticals are in some grand conspiracy to cover up these facts. Like others, I just question why these fungus disease links continually sprout forth in most medical research, yet there is no real body of medical attention set forth into motion yet to fully address it. I think I outlined my cynicism in the first post why that may be; which is, there is no real cost benefit for either of those two professions to pursue it.
First, fungus emit mycotoxins, which is a poisonous substance directed at other organisms while they compete over resources; in this case, host organisms in the human body. That one specific link I provided talks about EU concerns over importing chocolate from the Ivory Coast. It is infected with mycotoxins. Well, similarly, unbeknownst to most Americans is the fact that all our grains are infected with various mycotoxins as well. All our grains are stored in vast reserves of damp closed silos. Now, there aren't any fungal organisms in those silos, but their mycotoxins are left behind. Just like that article, every country imposes strict limits on just how *much* mycotoxin contaminations are acceptable. Ask anyone who has suffered from food allergies. They will tell you that removing all grains from their diet improves their condition unequivocably and without question. I am one such person. And yes, I've even gone to regular allergists, received shots, and eventually (later) spent over $30,000 at the Environmental Health Center here in Dallas for the most disciplined and respected and world renown practice in treating allergy and environmental diseases. I would hardly call that association of doctors quacks. I've seen grown men in wheelchairs from post Gulf War syndrome walking again when every other doctor has failed them.
Anyways, we can never truly eradicate fungus from our body. They will alwyas be there in some capacity. However, we can stifle their growth through healthy and traditonal diets more common in eras past and even less so today. Unfortunately, antibiotics (the biotic nucular bomb of the 20th century) was over prescribed in great accord during that century. There are countless articles showing that was a mistake. Many doctors today will admit as much. Why so many "super bugs" today? Whatever the case, your body is a battle ground between the good bacteria and bad microbials like fungus. When fungus is systematic in your body (basically, some present level of mycotoxins in your blood stream), you have either been exposed to antibiotics in the past or have acquired (most likely) some exposure through your diet (as discussed in that one link I provided), from the grains we eat in masse daily as Americans, or fom general exposure to fungus in the soil or even from the over growth in homes like black mold.
I could fill up several more pages here if I wish, but I won't. The body of evidence linking fungus to modern ailment *is* out there. I know from my own usage of anti fungals like Oil of Oregano and a month long strict diet that it wor
I cannot view either your link or the original Irrlicht video on youtube. At least your link says "Now loading" but never does. The Irrlicht video has a disclaimer it has been removed. Why don't either of these two just post the original video on their own hosted website? If need be, it's far easier handling future requests to remove that content with your own provider than through youtube. I followed many links in Irrlicht and could not find the original video. Direct links off the original hosts website anyone?
Yes, we have been duped; not by this article though. We have all been duped by the mainstream medical profession with their pharmaceutical partners and the media which reports and capitalizes on their "discoveries".
Why is the mainstream news media failing to report on this potential breakthrough?
The more pertinent question is why is the mainstream medical community defiant to holistic natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals? Or, more specifically, the defiance to accept microbial organisms as the bridge to those pathogens which the pharmaceuticals themselves have known about and scientifically researched? Particularly, with respect to various forms of cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol levels, restless leg syndrome, or whatever (you name it), wouldn't you rather know the cause? There is unequivocable evidence that fungus plays a large part in all of them. Every single one. In fact, the greatest break throughs (by accident) in all those "ailments" is the promise of statins and azole drugs. But pharmaceuticals still refuse to make the connection here. Sure, you know about Lipitor and such. But did you also know that various statins and other anti fungal drugs are very promising in preventing colorectal, skin, and other cancers. Why is that? Well, for one, fungus affects the cellular level and actually mutates DNA, replicating a damaged copy. Tumors? Anti fungal drugs prevent mitosis, or cell division from occurring. See the link? But why does the medical profession specifically go out of their way not to address the fungal link?
Ask anyone who's been nuked by antibiotics why they have fungal infections, or so many diseases in general. There is a link. The reason is about 80% of your immune system is provided by a healthy digestive system, where good microbials flourish and are primarily in constant battle with other microbials (primarily fungus). Thus, the recent fascination with probiotics (which, ironically, means for the body, not against it). Sugar feeds fungus. Why is the American diet so rich and glutonous in refined charbohydrates while neglect in natural foods and various spices so much more at risk for various diseases than other cultures? Various vegetables are rich in anti fungal properties. Even oats are rich in beta glucans; a known fungal inhibitor. Spices such as the oil of oregano, cinnamon, and others are historically well known to fight fungal infections. Many historical references (even in the Bible) instruct us to take various forms of spices for certain ailments linked to fungal infections. Why are those historical "prescriptions" any less pertinent than the artificials are today?
Fungus is the link. Many doctors have known about it, researched it, and even fought against their own medical peers for decades. Dr. Cass Ingram, a rebel with a cause, even has a radio show which addresses this very topic. So, what's the problem? Pharmaceuticals deeply entrenched in the Medical Profession, and the financial dependence of most doctors on that partnership. My brother in law is a doctor. I know him very well. I also know that pharmaceutical companies will even go so far as to regularly wine and dine him at his practice or even his house. I've seen it in action over the years, much like you or I closing the deal at business meetings with a handshake over a meal. Do I blame him? No. Microbial studies (in general) are hardly addressed in medical school, plus he has financial interests in keeping his own practice afloat. Make no mistake about it. Becoming a doctor is no longer just a noble practice, it is merely a profession; deeply entrenched in the financial rewards like you or I doling out code for a living.
Wouldn't you rather know how to prevent or cure a disease instead of being a slave to the commercial auspices of pharmaceutical treatments? Break the chains of dependence. I invite everyone to explore further.
