So says a new report (PDF) on international cybersecurity, which argues that the Internet is a Hobbesian “state of nature” where anything goes, where even government attacks maintain “plausible deniability,” and where 80 percent of industrial control software is hooked into an IP network. emmineb Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:55:32 GMT http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary.asp This dictionary is based on a WiKi system, which enables everyone to add and update the content.

"Our memory device is soft and pliable, and functions extremely well in wet environments – similar to the human brain," one of the researchers, Michael Dickey, said when announcing the breakthrough. To construct the circuits, the team used a liquid alloy of gallium and indium, set in water-based gels. "We've created a memory device with the physical properties of Jell-O," says Dickey. emmineb Fri, 15 Jul 2011 17:44:24 GMT http://www.boingboing.net/2006/06/01/amazing_mad_max_vehi.html "There's a soldier in Iraq who's been posting some crazy pictures of American SUVs and pickup trucks that have been modified by civilian security contractors for use as gun trucks.

Before this, Google's position on China was the a kind of Orwellian doublespeak: "We have to censor China because they have lots of money and we can't have any without participating in censorship" and "If we censor China but tell Chinese people when they're being censored, they'll clamor for democracy." (Um... yeah... What about if you just send uncensored web-results to China about democracy? Wouldn't that aid the cause of democracy more?) emmineb Sun, 28 Jan 2007 11:16:52 GMT http://www.esupply.co.jp/tokusetu/EEBN-A-75279.asp?sku=EEBN%2DA%2D75279&bun%5Fid1=0 These Japanese shredding scissors are a nice, low-tech way to discard of docs at your desk. emmineb Tue, 06 Jun 2006 10:53:39 GMT http://rinkworks.com/bookaminute/ Don't have time to read it all?

Now the question is, what is a cheng and what is a ch'i. You might even be able to explain it better than I can, but let me give you an idea. How many people here saw the movie Patton? If you recall in one portion of that movie--I think he was up before the American flag, I do not remember exactly when--he made the comment to the effect "What you want to do is you want to hold them by the nose and kick them in the ass." Everybody said, "Ha, ha, funny." That was a very important statement he made because it really represents in a sense a cheng and a ch'i. The hold by the nose to get his attention and then the undisclosed movement to the rear in order to pull him apar emmineb Sat, 29 Dec 2007 16:08:38 GMT
