  1. Re:Meet the New Boss on The Coming Uranium Crisis · · Score: 0

    I was thinking of the historical perspective, especially the period before the independence when everyone wanted a piece of America.
    Then you have the quote unquote communist regimes. The list is long and growing, unfortunately. There was a time the US was on the frontier of peacebuilding.
    With regards to the anti-american movement in the Middle East, most of the frustration arises from the Palestinian conflict where US foreign policy has been rather undiplomatic. This is taken advantage of by warmongers who can empower themselves on instability in the region. You have to see these conflicts as interconnected. That is why I think King Abdullah of Jordan's speech to Congress was a great leap, and should've gotten a lot more attention and after-thought. To use a cliché, it was a historical moment. Why not seize it?

    (We have yet to try man-flesh, though it looks appetising).
    Actually, man-flesh would be pretty tough unless you'd go for a baby. In addition, cannibals have testified that human flesh tastes like chicken, which ipso facto means that chicken tastes like human flesh.

    Just thought I'd spread the word :) wicrawl's major features:
    • Passive detection of Access Points (This means that if there are clients, we can find out the SSIDs from APs that have broadcast turned off).
    • o Support for multiple cards. Discovery can be run from one card, while the plugins can be run from the rest.
    • Simple plugin interface with multiple Plugins (Basic association, DHCP, internet check, network mapping, WEP/WPA-PSK cracking, etc)
    • Profiles to manage card scheduling and wicrawl usage (for example a profile for mobile users, and one for penetration testing)
    • Support for multiple interfaces (GTK and status bar (with themes) now, text UI to come)
    • Reporting and summary output in HTML, XML or Text
    • Traffic packet logging in pcap format

    Don't make the assumption that all DNS servers were attacked equally though.

    Can't be that far, I say. Also, I don't like the smell of the sea around here. Smells like a whore. Bad sign...

  20. Re:ISO approved PDF on Adobe To Release Full PDF Specification to ISO · · Score: 0

    Yes, but tripping might kill or seriously harm you. You may trip over the edge of a cliff, for instance. Very dangerous. Or you might go on a road trip and get killed in the accident that was caused by a drunk driver, which always happen on road trips. Or maybe you're tripping on LCD and accidently thought your friend was a giant tomato with great, white fangs and an appetitie for destruction, in which case you reached down for your bazooka - LSD people have these layin' around - and in the heat of the moment forgot to step a few feet away from your target, blowing both you and your friend up. Then you'd be sorry insteada safe. So the safest thing to do is; drop the shoes.

    And install Foxit.

  25. rule number one on UFOs In the News · · Score: 0

    Mr. Red Mercury. You go against every conspiracy theory out there. We all know that for something to be top, ultra, heavily classified -- and I mean so secret that the revelation of it would create global chaos, the fall of our religions etc -- it has to be seen by at least one (1) person, preferably at night or in some desolate location, with arguably weak evidence heavily supported by common sense. It's some sort of unwritten rule of top-secret stuff.

    On a more serious note, let me point out the article The Political Sociology of Alien Encounters by Eric Ouellet Ph.D. Very interesting, although simple read. And even though it doesn't touch on the topic of the abductions themselves, it at least tries to show what way our "world-horizon" shapes whatever we experience.
