SERIOUS AND\/OR UN-FUN STUFF<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. DHS: HOWTO stop (other governments’) creepy spooks…<\/a> – It’s good to know that DHS is interested in protecting our computer from being poked and scanned while we travel to other countries. Of course, that doesn’t stop them from doing the same when a computer is being brought into the United States …<\/li>\n
  2. The ecological cost of subsidies<\/a> – Wow! Government policies that both slam small businesses and cause massive ecological damage … who’d’ve thought it!<\/li>\n
  3. “America’s financial system was shaken to its core…<\/a> – Oh, boy! Well, at least it’s driving down the price of oil<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. Poe\u2019s Law<\/a> – It’s not a good sign when nobody can tell the difference between you and people parodying you.<\/li>\n
  5. New Court Decision Affirms that 4th Amendment Protects…<\/a> – What? The government can’t track your location 24×7 by your cell phone without a just-cause warrent? Obviously the terrorists have won!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    JOCULAR AND\/OR FUN STUFF<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. September 2008 new words – Quarterly updates – Oxford…<\/a> – The OED is a wonderful blend of the evolution of the language both past and present. It’s not just a big whoop.<\/li>\n
    2. Mom accused of stealing daughter’s identity to attend…<\/a> – Wow. Taking living vicariously through your child to a whole new pathological level!<\/li>\n
    3. Inside a London cab-driver’s brain<\/a> – Fascinating.<\/li>\n
    4. Scientists Point To Forests For Carbon Storage Solutions<\/a> – We really do need to take Arbor Day a lot more seriously.<\/li>\n
    5. Sunday Sensational Science<\/a> – So. Cool. And, granted, Flagstaff has the advantage of a relatively isolated location, but the lesson it teaches is a valuable.<\/li>\n
    6. New in Labs: Reply add-ons<\/a> – I might make use of the “just quote a bit of the previous message” one.<\/li>\n
    7. Purifying Shopping Carts<\/a> – Maybe we should learn not to put our hands in our mouths, rather than trying to arrange it so that everything we touch is sterile.<\/li>\n
    8. Huzzah!<\/a> – Love long and prosper, Mr. Sulu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
