Index of Economic Freedom 2007

emmineb — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 17:47:43 GMT

The 2007 Index of Economic Freedom measures and ranks 161 countries across 10 specific freedoms, things like tax rates and property rights. View scores and rankings for any country, along with detailed data and background analysis. [Visit the Countries »] or [See Top 10 »] A Renewed Index The 2007 methodology has been revised to provide an even clearer picture of economic freedom by using data-driven equations rather than performance brackets which allows countries to be graded using a percent score rather than a 1–5 rating. In addition, labor freedom has been added as a variable. We continue the tradition of blending "Ten Freedoms" equally to produce a simple, unbiased overall score for each country.

infinite thØught: towards a humanist pornography

emmineb — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 18:51:03 GMT

A recent collection of silent pornographic films mostly made in France between 1905 and 1930 and collected by French director Michael Reilhac as The Good Old Naughty Days, astonishes and appeals for several reasons. The first thing you notice is the sheer level of silliness on show: sex isn't just a succession of grim orgasms and the parading of physical prowess, but something closer to slapstick and vaudeville. Men pretend to be statues of fauns for curious women to tickle; two seamstresses fall into a fit of giggles as their over-excited boss falls off the bed; a bawdy waitress serves a series of sexually-inspired meals to a man dressed as a musketeer before joining him for 'dessert'.

emmineb — Wed, 05 Jul 2006 16:31:52 GMT

Analysis of the IP Enforcement Directive text (IPRED2) proposed by the European Commission on 2 May 2006. The Commission bulldozes through criminal law, completely mixes up infringement and organised crime and at the same time manages to exceed its legislative competence.

iTulip.com Retrospective 2006 + ka poom theory

"Here's the grade on Ka-Poom 1999 based on what happened since then with a revised Ka-Poom prediction below. On predicting the timing, length and extent of the deflationary or "Ka" part of the cycle, I'll give myself an "A." It started from the middle of 2000 and ended in the middle of 2002, as predicted. Inflation during 2001 averaged 1.6% for the year as shown in the updated 2006 graph below and it hit bottom at -3.3% in October 2001 as shown in the 1999 original above. Here's where reality and the prediction diverged."

<> It has come to my attention that there is a great wave of people out there that think using 'kill -9' on everything is a great idea. Who are these people and how did they acquire such an insidious habit? I wish I knew. Signals There exists in Unix a thing called a signal. There are many types of signals that are sent to processes for a great variety of reasons. When a process receives a signal, it may ignore it or catch the signal and execute a "signal handler". This is called "trapping" a signal. Untrapped signals have a default action, which are basicly "do nothing" or "exit". There are two signals that are untrappable, "SIGKILL" and "SIGSTOP". There is a command line utility called 'kill' that simply sends a signal to a process. 'kill -signal p
