Alas

Alas , who forgot to bribe that US arms cartel , and who just happen to the back room boys for every dirty US Arms deal of the last 30 odd years , and ex Sec Defence Donnie's best mates too!

Didn't the Yankees sell some overpriced spare parts for the F14 to Iran during Iran Iraq war, divert the payments to fund some new drug lords in Nicaragua to take pot shots at Daniel Ortega's peasant army armed with the more reliable AK47! and still managed to lose that war despite Ronnie's mob throwing all the cash and US army weapons they could use at them!

Sadly F16's are no match for the same age Sukhoi-SU27 and as for the newer replacement 34/37 variants even a green Soviet pilot just out of flight training school would win 99 out of 100 in any dogfight with the chickens fresh from Nevada Top Gun advanced flight training school!

Say doesn't the Indian Air Force still have more SU27's and the option to buy the newer versions as well?

Strange times and even stranger so called democratic governments?

But then again these days one can win a war , without even destroying any ground targets or people with today's technology , and push your enemy literally back to the stone age by making all his state of the art electronic technology we rely and are dependent on expire at the blink of an eye!

Most Interesting!

Most interesting , US is also punishing it largest export customer Canada as well , even though it's version of the so called NAFTA does not include the 1998 DMCA sub clause , and it is fully compliant in all aspects of the the agreement as signed!

In spite of the amount of funds the Canadians are paying , the ever voracious and greedy multimedia industries south of the border want double what they are receiving and continue to make extraordinary and unproven claims , and are not adverse to paying direct bribes to Canadian Crown Ministers to sponsor new draconian control legislation as well!

The problem with the music industry of today is summed up neatly in a June 2007 Rolling Stone Feature Article !

The times they are a changing , and like King Canute of old not even the greedy big 4 in the industry can hold back the tides of change for much longer at current rate the existing industry model is dying at!

What price a choice, it could be very deadly indeed should the misguided easily bribed politicians chose the wrong path!

Alas

Alas , nice window dressing but history tells us an English Company "First 4 Internet" or "Fortium Technologies Ltd"(an evil sense of humour at work here) , were the wankers responsible for the "XCP(extended Copy Protrection)" debacle of '06 ! not Media Max!

Me thinks this a bad case of SONY smoke and mirrors , given the financial reports from SunnComm are not all that rosy!

Quote "I keep six honest serving men They taught me all I knew: Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who Rudyard Kipling ..."

Oh well back to the drawing board!

About the the Tube Shooter

About the murder on the tube carriage , I would suggest you try and get hold of the public version of the IPCC report which had been leaked to the press , to prevent a full on white wash job orchestrated by Sir Ian Blair and his buddies in the MET , for it showed that within less then one hour , they not only knew the victims full name , details of family and where they lived in Brazil , and the fact that at no time was he ever an illegal resident overstaying his work permit/visa!

The crime scene photos clearly showed no less than 13 labelled empty shell casings scattered through out the train carriage. and the interviews of all witnesses of the carriage in question was in conflict with all early police public statements. The Tube Station cctv showed the victim upon entering the station, at no time did he run , and those running waving guns in the air could have been armed criminals due to dark outfits they were wearing , and upon entering the carriage grabbed the intended victim one held him down pinning his arms and the other started shooting , but during the event no fellow passenger heard any identification statement from either officer , till well after the event when the other officers arrived on the scene and started to interview the bewildered confused passengers at the crime scene!

The MET , in the entire time until the victims parents arrived did they ever correct any statement made about the case to the press , including the slanderous misinformed TV reporters who by then were falling over themselves and foaming at the mouth by repeating only rumours and innuendo and declaring them to be fact and not the fiction they were(strangely never did see any verbal apologies or printed retractions from corporate and TV media over this sad case!)

It did show though when the police do wrongful shooting deaths , they go to extreme lengths to hide the real truth from the public gaze at all times! and at one time even tried to cheat the parents out of proper compensation payments when they were informing them officially of their son's sudden death in Brazil!!

A good thing there are whistle blowers , so the general public can see some police officers are not particularly honest about the real truth , and needed to be held accountable for questionable activities , even if their fellow officers do not!

Wanker

A wanker that cries wolf!

Sadly it is ironic , that he runs an Australian Federal Police Force , that once caught the best computer hackers that even the US Justice Department with all it's resources could not even touch.

But sadly as with all things , the top Five in this force still cannot think outside the square , let this specialized section disband and dissolve ,the dedicated staff were literally forced out to better paid civilian jobs as well , shortly after the trial.

This is the self same police force , that has criminal asset seizure laws , but no one smart enough or qualified enough to follow the money trails , or even hack the criminal gangs computers seized in various raids!

Mind you , a standing joke exists in the home town and the nations capital , where all Federal Cops are called "9 to 5 men" (you don't call all local suburban police stations of Mick Keelty's finest to report crime after hours , because all you get is an answering machine if you are lucky! , as they grossly understaffed due to extensive overseas commitments of manpower , thanks to the five cent in the dollar our current dear leader John Howard , cheap attitudes and answer to all his problems)

However , Mick Keelty , is in reality building his own new straw castle , because he is trying to hustle through numerous draconian control laws , that were part and parcel of the evil Suharto Regime in Indonesia , at it's peak of terrorizing and controlling it's own population and that of the even more unfortunate residents of East Timor(1 in 3 murdered prior to final independence and handover to the UN is the current conservative estimate , the number of original inhabitants murdered in both Aceh and West Papua remain a state secret)

Sadly , he actually has more than adequate laws at his fingertips !

Simply , put he is both a wanker and adherent of the "Peter Principle" as has neither the staff with the required expertise nor the ability to think outside the square , to draft in outside experts needed to eliminate either the deadwood within or analyse the captured computers and finally no accountants to follow the money trails of the drug gangs!

Oh well , let the blinded lead the blind! , such is life , we are doomed a new Lavrentiy Beria clone is on the rise!

Environment

For these night predators to operate so close to human settlement the local environment must be a truly screwed up mess and the usual civil services like fresh water , garbage and sewage must have been totally destroyed in the on going American inspired and funded civil ethnic cleansing war! , and the daily blow up a section of oil pipe a day , to keep your job, must be contributing to truly nightmarish heavily polluted environment in the many rural areas!

So who destroyed the Badger's local environment or tossed live grenades down badger holes as bored soldiers have been known to do, forcing the beasties in question to move on to a newer safer fresher food rich environment!

Poor kids of today

Poor kids of today , we wrap and bind them tightly in cotton wool , literally sit on them with overbearing protection methods , we don't let them grow up , socialize or learn how to be real people in a complex real world, we do all the assorted bad things that we ban the kids from doing because they are children , and use the phoney excuse they are to young to understand !

We used Benjamin Spock's book as the absolute guide to be followed to the letter against better judgement!

Back in my day at school when we including the teacher of the day would have had a great laugh about why it was wrong, then he would give ten of the best , and when we went home to mum and dad , he would deal another forty in the same spot and then send you to bed without supper to think about why it was so wrong , so we could live and learn from our mistakes and errors whilst becoming an adult in an imperfect world!

Now in today's new age education , corporal punishment is deemed to be a cruel and evil torture , children are expected to behave as perfect innocent angels at all times , who can do no wrong and behave perfectly without any learning curves as to why it is so!(apologies to Julius for that comment)in an imperfect world full of images that children are not allowed to follow or be involved in , but simultaneously feed them full of propaganda! ,and under no circumstances are they allowed to have fun or use their imagination in any way shape or form!

Now on top of this , we as adults are being led well and truly astray by our ever wanking leaders telling nothing but total lies with impunity at every opportunity! , robbing us blind without punishment. Not a good way of being a role model to follow without question!

Yes , the poor children of today , caught between a rock and a hard place , little wonder they are confused and bewildered , unable to play , forbidden to explore or learn from experience ! , other than what we stuff in front of them , how indeed they will treat the next generation is anybody's guess!

And we now wonder where we went wrong !

Little wonder indeed we resort to the courts to resolve basic simple issues easily resolved over a conference table , and replace them complex illogical misleading legal argument and reduce everything that is black and white to all shades of grey!

Sounds to me that particular school is being run by a bunch of idiots , wankers and adherents to the "peter principle" to let it run that far up the legal chain , for such a petty incident if truth be told!

Sadly , this case has no winners and every one lost just another freedom to the authorities and the powers to be , and another nail in the coffin called democracy!

SEC

SEC , should roast his backside and give 10 to 20 years hard time for stock fraud ! Because no matter which way you dress it it is still fraud!

The Company Shareholders should launch a class action law suit to enable them to claim all his pension and assets and sack him without the usual severance pay and bonuses , for failing to look after their interests including failing to obey and follow all corporate governance laws !

Sounds very fishy

Sounds very fishy , from the list of the purchased goods shown , the size of the population , and the position of the county at the centre of Eire(cross roads east/west/north/south transit smuggling?) , much of what is purchased , would represent what some one in the illegal money laundry business would buy and sell , targeting high volume legit goods , which then can be off loaded back for real cash!

Something , is not quite right , on the Emerald Isle?

Actually

Actually , there was an Edwardian period drama called Upstairs and Downstairs , which used all period costumes of that era to the letter , and sadly the PR photo of Kylie's maid outfit is very un Rose like indeed! , and appears to be at odds with the surviving photographs of both female crew and passengers taken at Southhampton and it's Irish Sea cross voyage as well.

Oh well that my half cents worth!

Spooky!

Has all the hallmarks and footprints of an inside job , at a very senior management level , so whom was covering who's tracks , and who has copies of those logs for self protection? , and some one or some organization used illegal means to cover their tracks!

Say , I wonder why the TV show "Spooks" or all the other TV spy shows from 24 down do not run with a similar story line , it would make an excellent award winning episode! , as this cold case melodrama as it unfolds is made for TV quite literally!

Name Cloning is a US National Sport

In the good old U S of A , the Federal Trade Commissioner issues an annual report compiled from both State and Federal Fraud crimes listings and last year some 670,000 incidents of stolen names , were recorded , or 0.2% of the entire population , is subject to some sort of name theft.

In one particular intriguing incident the parents of a new born 5 month old child received a hospital bill dated 4 months previously where it was alleged he had walked into a clinic and received a spinal injection for back pain!

Oh well , nothing new , but given that most porno stars are only paid for appearance money on the day of the shoot and no residuals , or any other payment , it is unlikely she will score all that much money even if she wins, the real profits normally end up the hands of the Mafia nine times out of ten, with the director and film crew barely making a living.

Further in Traci Lords book , she stated simply that in the 100 or or so porn movies in which she was the star attraction she was under the age of 18! , this industry is truly the back end of the film industry in all ways! Or how soon we forget , it has been part and parcel of the photographic industry since the invention of the first film camera!

Let us hope she wins , but ultimately it will be a hollow victory!

It looks kinda cool

It looks kinda cool! , and I doubt very much it will have much of a battery replacement problem unlike the Jobs Cupertino model

And since it is a GPL3 license , no hidden unwanted extras or open back windows , since Linux is by it's very nature one of the more secure OS, and the source code is readily available for the curious ones!

As for car names , why do you think the Paris Dakar rally winning titanium chassis carbon fibre body shell plastic fantastic Mitsubishi Pajero as sold in a number of English speaking countries but is re-badged as a Montero or Shogun in the many countries that speak Spanish (hint it is the Spanish word for wanker)

Given a choice who indeed wouldn't go for a smart phone with similar features but not locked to some of the less than reliable mobile phone networks and expensive fixed term 2 year contracts and half the price of hidden DRM'd Cupertino units

The Next Question?

The next question is when are the public book burnings and all libraries from the local to University level get to be purged of all crime novels , and many other assorted titles , to protect us from inciting or using our imagination?

Why do I get the feeling the exact same thing happened to a middle European country in 1933 to one Dutch National called Marinus van der Lubbe and three other Bulgarians tried in March that year and leading to the disappearance of another 4000 citizens without trial that same night as he was arrested !

Now , we already have the interesting fact that non elected State Officials can sanction without just cause or limits and suspend all legal rights and then hold people indefinitely without trial in unnamed interment camps around the world!

Those , that fail to learn the lesson from history are but doomed to repeat them! , old Adolf and Joe from last century , must be smiling in their graves , for what is happening in this new century!

Or as one Australian Prime Minister John Howard said in a recent press conference , if the laws are found to be wanting we will rewrite them to obtain a conviction at any cost literally !

Say what happens to "Boeing's PET" in an electrical storm?

Say , since high flying commercial aircraft are subject to upper atmospheric high voltage surge strikes when flying through bad electrical storms , and the normal metallic body acts as a Faraday Cage , me I wonder what happens when a lightning strike hits Boeing's new plastic pet? , given the amperage and current in one strike is enough to power a large city , will it melt or blast a huge hole from one side to the other and turning everything in the bolts path to instant carbon?

The other aspect about "pet" , once it's reach the end of life , can it be recycled like normal plastic?

Oh me oh my

Oh me oh my , from what I have seen of that site , the most annoying thing is the pop up personal adds on the side , something that is not a problem with FF plus extensions.

Other than that minor irritation , these boys at "tpb" appear to run a tight ship indeed in comparison to some of the other sites , and seem to relish weeding out the industry entrapment honey pots and other very suspect torrents!

But sadly , these wankers in the Sweden seeking such a listing would hardly put a dent in the daily average data streaming traversing the Swedish Internet of which 40% appears to be in the form of Bit Torrent packets.

Such a blacklisting , is so easily defeated with relatively simple techniques , that it is a pointless exercise in futility ! , and sounds like a plot line from the comedy satire movie of you either get it or hate it soon to be a classic recently released direct to DVD called "Idiocracy".

The "Peter Principle" rocks on in this new 21st century , that is for sure !

Isn't this

Isn't this just another example of Newton's third law of motion , for every action , there is an equal and opposite reaction!

And in a real world dynamic , just as fast as you close the loopholes , you open another set of unidentified ones!

Don't forget , the old tale of the car thief , as fast as the various car makers upgrade car security , the thieves find both the deliberate side doors , and simultaneously find the means to counter the new improved car security!

So as with everything , a blacklist is little better then a dog continuing to chase it's tail , but never ever quite catching up to it , given the ever dynamic changing and reacting internet!

Or in the words of one song "the times they are a changing!"

Say

Say , the tale of the coming of the new age of the Iphone , is getting better then waiting for the forthcoming Harry Who book!

The Ghost of Oswald Mosely

The ghost of Sir Oswald Mosely has reappeared in the guise of David Cameron!

Say

Say , , didn't I read somewhere , that generation one bluray disc's are suffering from the dreaded black cancer , that killed many a CD in the eighties?

Welcome to the New British Police State

Welcome to the new British Police State, initiated with the Election of Tony Blair some ten years ago ,

For in this country , we do not allow sight seeing tourists(they may be spies?) , our Naval Submarines have been instructed to ram and sink any unarmed innocent fishing trawlers , and leave the crews to drown , and if the salvaged sunken vessel just happens to have paint flakes in the hole that is a special unique naval grey as used by the HM Submarines it comes from a unknown Russian Spy Submarine on patrol!

Our newly armed Gestapo like police force have been instructed to shoot to kill any foreign guest workers without provocation and can do so without fear of sanction or punishment for any mistakes!

Our Government press liaison spokes people , are instructed only to tell lies and allow both the Print Media and TV Reporters to endlessly speculate and spout worthless propaganda, and under no circumstances even when in possession of correct and truthful information they are not permitted to reign in this circus!

Our Banks are required to disclose all customer information , without due legal process irrespective of privacy laws and surrender all customers cash without duly informing same!

Say this reminds me of a certain recently reunited country late last century in Europe circa 1935! , run by a man called Adolf.

Looks like both Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler are now smiling in their graves , for the monsters they created last century are being reborn anew in the United Kingdom if truth be told!

So does this mean

So does this mean, that since the libraries at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities, which are full of hard copy versions of similar seditious material are to be burnt to the grown for displaying opinions contrary to that of the ruling elite ?

No freedom of speech and expression is permitted in this democracy in the 21st Century!

Sad ,as the original Magna Carta as written, did attempt to outlaw such illegal persecution as this , merely because one's personal views differed from that imposed by authoritarian figures!

Freedom has now just become another word in the dictionary and relegated to the history books about the last century!

Ironic

Ironic , now where can I buy that new Austin-Rover now after the company received those tax payer billions?(hint go ask Maggie!)

I wonder , does he by any chance own any shares in Thorn Industries , the company which has been trying to flog the lame duck Albatross hanging around it's neck called EMI for most of this new century?

Sadly , history tells us that all state subsidized industries ultimately fail catastrophically and are literally a waste tax payer monies , when attempting to stave off the inevitable end!

Those , that fail to learn that lesson from history are but doomed , to waste a lot more of the hard earned tax payer dollars then is reasonable!

The "Peter Principle" rocks on in the new century , the Tony Blair "New Empire of the Backside" is doomed should this wanker win any election

Double standards

Double standards , what no formal apology , offer to pay both compensation and all legal costs!

This is a company that caved into the totalitarian mainland Communist China's formal requests , took a swipe at the very Democratic Sweden's new upcoming Cyber Space over watch laws for being over bearing and draconian and inferring them to be illegal !

Me , I would not be unsurprised , if they will take him to registrar abuse the due process like a certain company with the Beatles Logo did previously in the UK , to get him to be illegally declared as a cyber squatter , thus thumb their noses in the face of the German Court's decision!

What price indeed , will the unfortunate owner pay in the future?

But then again

But then again , Formula One cars are not rocket science , and have virtually reached the ultimate limit of today's technology for Internal Combustion Engines made of metal , so parallel development ideas would not be unheard of in that field given so few options and directions left!

But hey the race is dying at the same rate the cancer stick makers and sponsors are losing the market, given the current rapidly declining viewer ratings throughout the world . Further in many countries where the races are run in public streets , the general populace wish they would cease and desist running these unpopular noisy annoying events anyway!

Sadly , the race is now well past it's use by date and should be consigned to the pages of history books where it belongs!

Oh no

Oh no , the dreaded SONY cell phone battery has struck yet again!

Actually

Actually, numerous groups have been hacking Iphone since it's general public release , and another group at "iphone,fiveforty.net" have develop a nifty bypass to being locked into A T & T / Cingular(an organization that does not care about it's customers privacy irrespective of the law of the land)!

Understandably , the above sites servers is suffering from a popularity hit according to the blog boing boing , as Cingular is not a well respected mobile phone service provider.

Further in Australia , under it's current Trades Practice Laws it would be considered both illegal and unconscionable to sell such a device locked to one carrier in the manner that Apple has initially chosen to do so in the US!

Now if it was powered by the more secure Linux , instead of the Apple control freak ware , it would be more useful!

So does this mean?

So does that this mean that a wide variety of University Chemistry Text Books and Production Engineering Books are now banned from all libraries in the land , along with all non military and government controlled industries that use the dreaded "Alfred Nobel" invention and all it's variants!

With all these brain dead wankers and adherents of the "Peter Principal" leading us in the new 21st century we are doomed!

The old army saying come to hand SNAFU (Situation Normal All Fouled Up or similar words to that effect)

What price stupidity , trying to stuff a diffuse genie with a billion users back into pint bottle , oh how dumb and stupid can you get!

With current scare mongering and chicken little hype in the mass media, on a scale of credibility of 0 to 10, I have assigned a quotient of minus infinity to all conglomerate TV media outlets , for they have truly lost both the plot and their heads and speak with many forked tongues!

Now if they could save the 1.2 million souls assassinated by your average motorist every 12 months , instead of dishing out this propaganda garbage , now that would truly impress me!

What Price a Customer?

What price a customer , if the major four labels continue to suffer a decline in retail sales of 16 % per annum of all music traded under their banner labels as happened in the period from 2000 to 2006 , and the best selling retail album of 2006 failed to reach some 650,000 units (in a market where the big labels artificially inflated costs dictate sales of at least 1 million units prior to payment of any royalties to the artist or group in question, the current bulk of the major recording stars income is derived from live concerts ,and the average income and royalty payments received from CD sales sold by the big 4, now do not even cover the cost of their managers basic fees)

At this continued rate of rapid decline of annual sales of all music albums (video inclusive) made , the journey from solvency to bankruptcy of the Big Four(BPI's current overbearing controlling owners) within the closing of the first decade of this new 21st Century is very close indeed!

With the collapse and demise of it's main sponsors and mentors , it will be interesting to see what happens to the likes of industry beck and call tame lap dog associations like the BPI , CRIA and RIAA , will they die or will they turn around to crawl and prostate to those it chose to spurn and ignore to save themselves from an ignoble end!

What price indeed any customer ?

Never mind!

Never mind , when the predicted big oil crash of 2014 cuts in , it all becomes an academic argument!

For sooth what light in beyond window shines thus? , nay it is but another wanker seeking the fickle elusive green vote!

Fertilizer Bomb what a joke

Sadly , if you read about the old Bali Night Club Bomb used in Indonesia you would realize just how inefficient they are in that you still need a large block Semtex(minimum 2 lbs or a kilo will do nicely) or other stable Army demolition plastic explosive to initiate the fire works and even then the it only works if the mixture is properly mixed in the correct proportions! I believe had the van consumed the full load , it would have totally leveled a considerable portion of the surrounding block rather then destroying just the night club!

By the way the fertilizer Bomb has an extremely high smell/odor quotient as well!

As for real explosives even the experts get it wrong fatally from time to time!

In closing a quote from Edward R Murrow "If we confuse dissent with disloyalty — if we deny the right of the individual to be wrong, unpopular, eccentric or unorthodox — if we deny the essence of racial equality, then hundreds of millions in Asia and Africa who are shopping about for a new allegiance will conclude that we are concerned to defend a myth and our present privileged status. Every act that denies or limits the freedom of the individual in this country costs us the. . . confidence of men and women who aspire to that freedom and independence of which we speak and for which our ancestors fought." "

Say

Say , who failed basic laws of Thermodynamics , that be the question , or has Dell finally created a new universe where the laws of physics of the real world do not matter!

Here's a thought

Here's a thought , replace both safari and os with portable Damn Small Linux and Firefox/(Iceweasel) , that way , it will kill two insecure back door birdies at the same time!(it made Ipod gen 1 to 3 more useful as DRM free devices with 25% longer play time as well)

Sounds like Iphone has either Alpha 2A or Beta 1 OS software , with preprogrammed debug back and side doors still live within the code , due to the usual Apple crap software rush jobs !

Or as the conspiracy theorists will say a very deliberate Government blackhat over ride control code , for given the large memory but crap camera an excellent spy/industrial data smuggling tool (well A T & T / Cingular did yield to the notional government pressure to spy on it's own customers without either due process or any legal documentation as required by both the Homeland Security Act or the 1986 Telecommunications Privacy Act!)

Gen 1 cutting edge devices are always risky , as the real end users are the both the guinea pigs and the debuggers at the same time!

But Then Again!

But then again , what price a replacement battery in say 12 to 15 months time , from the recent photo blog of a user who took his brand new unit of 6 hours old apart to examine the internals , this time Apple truly designed a monster , that is not intended for any user to remove and replace something as simple as the battery!

Yes , we all know how much Apple stole from the 1st gen Ipod's and the infamous brothers hit internet movie detailing that saga!

You pays your money , takes your choices and leave your wallet with Apple!

Yawn!

Yawn , man this new centuries cartel mass media terrorist propaganda machine must be powered by the ghost of Dr Josef Goebbels on steroids , or were they filming an episode of "Spooks"?

Abe Lincoln neatly summed it as follows "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."

Nice

Nice just what the earth does not need , more industrial garbage and waste requiring a minimum of 240,000 years of storage , when the current ones are are already full to overflowing , and the planned future ones are already spoken for!

As for diseases , how do you think the unwanted colonial interlopers at Jamestown manage to eliminate the million to one local native superiority , but with germ warfare.

Sadly , since with the aid of the mass media reduced to printing mere government propaganda (oops , have we not forgotten the so called liquid explosive plot at Heathrow Airport? or a house destroyed for no valid reason by the police, with all the major press outlets merely replaying government fiction without question rhyme or reason?) the new age of the chicken little paranoia fear of the ever implausible what ifs that read like failed plot lines from the TV show called "Spooks" , the big clock will reach midnight faster than cheap low cost interplanetary space flight for all will occur !

But then again , NASA did build that white elephant that is called the space shuttle , and we all know how safe and reliable those units are?

Nice choices indeed!

Say

Say , essentially , the role the Euro inspector will be given , is to be shoved into the back orifice as part and parcel off the scenery , nothing more and nothing less!

But then again will the banks all fess up to their customers leaving themselves wide open to be sued for breaches of the assorted Euro privacy laws, remains to be answered!

Now , where was the nearest golf course to the office again?

Or as the conspiracy boys would say

Or as the conspiracy boys would say their motives are hidden and dark , and are not intended to benefit any user but themselves!

Back to the drawing board

Back to the drawing board , given the variables , the extremely erratic power supply , the chaotic internal communication systems , the extremes in income with a very large percentage of the population barely earning enough to survive on less than $2-00 per day , the one laptop per child makes far more sense logically and cost effective wise!(the notional average annual income per person for this country is so small that even the CIA World Fact Book does not list it)

Someone at M$ is trying to sell an overpriced product , into a market system in which piracy , tax avoidance , copycat manufacturing and outright unlicensed clone duplication is the main mantra ! Still ignoring the far wealthier Chinese market north of the border could be a fatal mistake?

So does that mean the paying customer in the so called developed nations be billed and extra $100 per new legitimate OS license to subsidize this foolhardy venture?

If

If this goes down , she will literally own the RIAA !

Mind you the crowd she is dealing with , will use every dirty trick they can think of to weasel out from under , from deliberate legal time out calls to other !

Sadly , however should RIAA ,and fellow shysters lose , in all probability all the costs of this action will be levied as some form of tax or extra charge on all recording artists contracted to the labels in question , via several of the more obscure sub clauses buried within!

But then again , by doing so , at least she exposes to the world as to who the real thieving pirates are in the recorded music business!

But then again

But then again , the worrying aspect given that lithium ion batteries usually have charge cycles of circa 350 to 400 , which equates if used daily to the max a battery life circa 15 months average in adverse(normal mobile phone user conditions )

Now the case appears to be designed to be opened by special tools which means given Apple's monopoly a replacement battery costs circa $500(based on ipod gen 1 which initially was charged circa 75 to 80% of original cost price , if I recall correctly)

Further since the screen is optical glass , which means it can be easily broken by merely dropping the unit six inches down onto a hard surface!(one can see a market for both a hard clamshell case / soft silicon skin for this product)

Whilst most Apple Users cannot see past the infamous Beatles Label rip off logo , and all is absolute gospel that emerges from Steve's lips , so in effect over a two year life of contract in the worse case scenario say $2500 or more additional costs to allow for optical glass screen /lcd/battery replacements from apple rip off inc!(how often do you drop your mobile phone?)

Apple fanatics will always be sucked in by their premium price tactics , that's for sure!

I suppose the old story , where you pays your money through the nose , and you get what you pay for , for it sounds like one needs a Platinum Credit Card to fully support this new dog from Apple!

Oh well,

Oh well , since 2.3% of the annual US GDP , is accounted for by law suits , then one doesn't have to wonder about some silly twat trying to take an anonymous slice, whilst simultaneously boosting ones academic grades in a questionable manner using very questionable means!

The old story he says , she says , and everything else is implied in between! , so to take this law suit at face value without a thorough investigation of the anonymous originators motives , speculation rules supreme!

The "Peter Principle" rocks on in the new century unabated !

Question

Question , which ex or current IT employee in the firm , is upset because he or she didn't get either the promotion or pay rise they thought they deserved!

The firm must be truly cheap and very stupid for not instigating and /or maintaining routine software installed audits!

The "Peter Principle" rocks on in the new century!

Wankers

So many wankers , given that in an average year the Pentagon's computer system is infiltrated a minimum of 160,000 times!

Sadly it does prove that even a five year old child , using any old computer connected to the internet , with very few keystrokes , can hack into the Pentagon's Computer systems without even trying very hard indeed!

The "Peter Principle" rocks on in the new century!

The Fear of the what if

The fear of the what if , continually reminds me of the old cautionary tale of Chicken Little , running around yelling "the sky is falling let us flee the safety of the compound and run to the hills!"

Sadly , we all know that fate which awaited the innocent stampeded victims of Chicken Little's psychosis , of the fear of what if!

Still interesting but very corrupt logic , but the old truism , those that fail to learn the many lessons of history , are but doomed to repeat them!

For history tells us all absolute police states are eventually dissolved and the following chaos opens many sore and festering wounds of the imagined self , leaving many disasters in the wake of this resulting chaos!

With so many selfless Chicken Little's leading us in to chaos , what price for all democracies and freedoms in the face of self created Stalinist Style Police States?

Quick , send him a rock so he can hide under it!

Ha ! Ha!

Ha ha , but since according to US Auto sales figures a mere 3 out of every 20 new automobiles sold annually to the great unwashed masses or 15% of gross sales possess a manual gear box(all sales brochures for new cars , list the manual shift as an Auto delete option).

But then again I seem to recall , in one book written by Ralph Nader way back in the mid sixties , he pointed out a disturbing fact that until all automakers in Detroit standardized both the shift lever and the quadrants , many US drivers had grave difficulties in driving any car which had an unfamiliar shift pattern(chrysler had a really groovy push button set up on the dashboard which totally confused all Ford and Chevy drivers!)

Further one should not forget , that in the US all driving schools(schools inclusive) unless requested only ever provide slush mobiles!

The world it seems is peopled with many brain dead wankers , in this new 21st century!

As they say how soon we forget the lessons we should have learned from history, and those that fail to learn from past mistakes , are but doomed to repeat them!

Or has Darwin struck yet again?

Just more hot air

Just more hot air , after the botched London Tube affair and white wash job(and it would have been total and absolute , if it wasn't for one brave whistle blower)

IPCC , is just another one of Tony Blair's rubber stamp organizations , created to create the illusion of accountability and transparency , no more no less , for English Police Force in it's current behavior and actions is now mirroring the actions of the hated GESTAPO of another in EUROPE! , some 70 years ago!

Let the white wash continue!
