I spoke awhile back about a friend that wrote a book that was going to be published. It seems the fools at the publishing house are going through with publishing this morally bankrupt piece. As with most morally bankrupt pieces of writing it is hysterically funny. The guy is truly witty and this carries over to the dialogue in his writing. A preview of the book and a bit about the author can be found here http://iamnotmyselfthesedays.com
I’ll have to add a Legal forum sooner or later…
Here’s a Legal FAQs on NSA Wiretaps.
I have given this page only a cursory glance, but it seems to come up short on Legalese.
Face and fingerprints swiped in Dutch biometric passport crack
I have always considered the use of biometric authentication as a bloody stupid idea - taken literally in the movie Demolition Man and for all I know, life imitates art imitates life…
Let’s say you use your fingerprints, retina patterns, finger length, or other biometrics as a key. When you think about the analogy, it’s immediately obvious that this kind of key cannot be exchanged. Once compromised, irreversible damage is done.
an attack can be executed from around 10 metres and the security broken, revealing date of birth, facial image and fingerprint, in around two hours.
Do they use RFID? A remote compromise of biometrics is just too cute and all too predictable.
Theist: I’ll pray for you.
Atheist: Then I’ll think for the both of us.
I was bored enough to peek at a certain religious forum. They have a minor argument about the precise meaning of ‘proselytizing’ and after one poster made reference to the definition provided by dictionary.com, somebody else replied with this gem:
That’s the trouble with using a secular dictionary to prove a precise religious definition.
Does that mean that the dictionary definition of ‘atheism’ is equally suspect or does he consider a secular dictionary authoritative on non-religious matters?
From this thread in Pharyngula:
Or, which of the following is rooted in psychological child abuse:
A) Evolutionary Theory
B) The meaningless assertion that God created everything just as it is now, taking special care to design intelligent agents of divine love such as HIV, because Heavenly Father loves us enough to kill us for making squishing noises with each other.Posted by: Jamie | January 29, 2006 05:50 PM

Viennese veggie orchestra makes sweet music
HAMBURG, Germany - The sound of 90 pounds of finely tuned cucumbers, leeks, potatoes, radishes, peppers and other vegetables entertained a German audience at a weekend concert by the Viennese Vegetable Orchestra.
The nine-piece orchestra plays a range of original compositions on instruments constructed from vegetables—including a flute made from a carrot, a saxophone carved out of a cucumber and a pumpkin converted into a double bass.
If not, ask them if they need some kelp.
A Catholic man is struck by a bus on a busy street. He is lying near death on the sidewalk as a crowd gathers.
“A priest. Somebody get me a priest!” the man gasps. Minutes drag on and no one steps out of the crowd.
A policeman checks the crowd and finally yells, “A PRIEST, PLEASE! Isn’t there a priest in this crowd to give this man his last rites?”
Finally, out of the crowd steps a little old Jewish man of at least 85 years of age.
“Mr. Policeman,” says the man, “I’m not a priest. I’m not even a Christian. But for 50 years now I’m living behind the Catholic Church on First Avenue, and every night I’m overhearing their services. I can recall a lot of it, and maybe I can be of some comfort to this poor man.”
The policeman agrees, and clears the crowd so the man can get through to where the injured man lies.
The old Jewish man kneels down, leans over the man and says in a solemn voice:
“B-4 I-19 N-38 G-54 O-72”

It’s impossible to quote selectively and I’d have to ask the author for permissions to reprint in full. So, A Perspective on the Pledge is worth a read.
