I tried to find not premoderated comments on any of EU officials blogs to give them a taste, no luck :(

But look what I've found, granma that's responsible for EU's 'digital agenda' (WTF is that?) wants our views on what she calls 'Internet governance'. http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/kroes/en/content/internet-governance-i-want-your-views

BBC and Fox often present the same message different ways. For example on foreign wars - BBC shows some children in caves, children are suffering - cold, hungry, afraid of bombings by pro-government forces and want to return to normal life. After successful campaign children miraculously disappear - like in Libya, where anarchy currently is so widespread that PM was recently kidnapped. But evil dictator is dead, so children must be ok now, sure :) Fox message is just like "He is an enemy of US, we will destroy him!" - more straightforward, less sickening.

I remember how those "think of the children" news are made - I was around 15 y.o. in Moscow, it was around 1992, presumably Japanese news channel (there was russian producer who told us that) filmed as as "Russian punks". They told us to come to building in our block that was scheduled for demolition, generously gave us each 2 packs of marlboro and some vodka, somebody brought a guitar. So we were to sing russian punk songs while drinking vodka from a bottle and smoking cigarettes, all this with broken windows and overall mess of a building scheduled for demolition as a background. I do not know if it was shown or not, if shown we could be orphans of war near dwelling, half destroyed by government aviation in Chechnya, or where it was needed at the moment.

Try to create everything, then listen to this damn stupid prayers all day - like give me this, give me that, please destroy all my enemies, oh lord forgive me and so on. Oh, and there is another bunch of your creations brutally killed in your name by your faithful servants, again. I bet you'll become mad psycho in less than millennia.

But why would somebody believe that happy dancing with no close on (i.e. as created by, well, creator) is somehow insult to any deity is difficult to understand, unless they serve shopping god or fashion goddess.

Optimal strategy for ssd + hdd dual drive configuration on linux would be to use ssd drive for cache, there are couple of ways to accomplish this, easiest is flashcache - open source kernel module developed by facebook.

Or you can buy 32-64 GB SSD and HDD, and use flashcache, and you will have the same hybrid drive but with 4-8 times larger cache.

Interesting device! How to protect linux computer from such attack, besides glueing USB ports? Any way to make it to ask for user password upon inserting HID device?

We are not THAT screwed yet. PGP encrypted email is still secure? Torchat is probably secure and anonymous, in a sense it's impossible to decrypt conversation and figure out who is talking to who.

LOL, that is a good example of modern journalism - you do not know why, but somehow you believe it's true, because some smart looking people with serious faces was discussing the issue on TV and came to this conclusion, or maybe your read article in reputable newspaper written by 'doctor of middle-eastern affairs' who surely understand all this Sunni and Shiite relations and stuff like this?

It all depends on who you believe, we get all information (pro and anti strike) from biased sources, I did not expect anything else from HWR - article is written in classical style, to get emotional response. Check out this link http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/15496841-hostages-piccinin-quirico-heard-syrian-rebels-say-assad-not-responsible-for-chemical-attack.

It's propaganda war, only thing that we can be sure is that we do not know what really happens there. I think it's more probable that rebels used chemical weapons to frame Assad, just because it makes more sense - they are the loosing side and need US to intervene.

Check how Chernobyl was handled - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2Q6VDQWtqk . In short - 600 000 people finished sarcophagus in half a year. What is done to secure Fukushima in more than 2 years? Also check comparison - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Fukushima_and_Chernobyl_nuclear_accident , look at radiation levels on site and amount of fuel in reactors. Fukushima is much easier to clean up than Chernobyl, and risk of apocalyptic contamination is much higher! One more tsunami and what? What will happen if all fuel that is now in reactors will be washed out to the ocean and spread worldwide by currents? It's a fucking doomsday machine that is set to trigger by random chance! Maybe Tepco employ dr. Strangelove as head of clean up operation?

Exactly out thoughts, gaijin! It's 4 hours - nobody should swim that long, and only 8% anyway - not a big deal. We are waiting for a new tsunami that will wash all this inconvenient radioactive junk into the ocean, we do not need it any more, you see. Ocean currents will do the rest, nature will find the way! Pity about dolphins tho. Tasty, tasty dolphins!

Tepco - committed to bringing nuclear power to every doorstep in the world!

Do not worry gaijin, we upgraded our dosimeters to a newest model that is capable of displaying up to 1.8 sieverts!

I'm saying liquidation was handled much worse in Fukushima accident. Look how Chernobyl was handled - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster#Immediate_crisis_management. Fire containment, that prevented fire to spread another reactor, volunteers swimming in bubbling radioactive water to open the valve - 3 people prevented one more hydrogen explosion and died shortly afterwards, and later quarter million workers building sarcophagus over reactor 4, sealing it to prevent future contamination. If Chernobyl was handled same way as Fukushima - we would have have of Europe exclusion zone, with all what was inside reactors 3 and 4 blown around and scattered by the wind. Fukushima is not over yet after more that 2 years after disaster - there are still tons of radioactive water pouring into world ocean every day, and in case of an earthquake, that is not really uncommon in Japan, high possibility of massive disaster involving that huge amounts of spend fuel that is still on site.

Better than capitalism in Japan anyway. 2 years since accident - the freaking thing still massively leaks! Read about Chernobyl disaster - basically much larger hydrogen explosion and radioactive contamination was prevented with cost of liquidators lives.
