The Great Dubhugu (Hail His Name) collapsed in the couch, gulped beer and called His Grandson, The Great Creator of Species. "There are problems at my hunting grounds, Kfilifihi. Thou shall ynvestigate."
His Father's wish was His duty. "One day it will change. It shall be me opening this story and creating the species." And so he went.
We leave TGD(HHN) until the next gulp of beer. The sun was setting down, casting invisible shadows of the animals-to-be and the plants-to-be. "So be it. Fkdbhgxz, come here." He caled His dentist. "Go create those species. All of them." He handed him te list. "But do it in such a way, that the Darwinists would never know."
And so he went and created the species. And the Darwinists did never know.

Jan. 27th declared by UN as "International Day for Remembering the Holocaust Victims" (my transl. from polish newspaper.)

Hands off my birthday, UN! Go away! Take any other day, or better introduce a new day in the calendar for each important Day, so noone gets hurt.

Next war:
Observe lands with disappearing middle class, growing group of poor, violence. This is the raw material for army. Is such process the result of intentional manipulation?

Ze co prosze?
Ze mam sie cieszyc z wyrabania krateru w komecie? A zapytal sie kto czy mozna? A moze nie mozna i ktos na tej komecie poczuje sie Bardzo Urazony i rozpierdoli nasza planetke w drzazgi... Nie zebym bral to na powaznie, ale przeciez macie panowie i panie niezly tupet. Zbyt niezly jak na mój gust. Milego swietowania.

In English (+/-):
Beg your pardon, what?
That I should be glad about hacking of crater in a comet? Did anyone ask for permission? What if it's not permitted and someone on that comet finds themselves Very Offended and 'rozpierdoli' our planet into smithereens... Not that I take it seriously, but do a nerve you have, ladies and gentlemen. Too much for my taste. Wishing you nice celebrations.

('rozpierdolic' means to destroy by an act of violent fuck, or blow; closest is Russian 'razpizdit', which is beyond me to express in English)

And thank you sweet - yes, the comment about posting in Polish on "American-centric" thread illustrates my point so well. The nerve to state that! Very American indeed. No reflexions from Teh Rulerz, right? :-)

If war, Guantanamo prisoners are POWs.
If they are not POWs, what was the Afghanistan operation? Terror?

I lie, therefore I'm US administration.
I swallow lies, therefore I'm US electorate.
I think I'm upset.

The policies that someone will set for you:
Digital Restriction Management (DRM) on our PC's.
Cutting Safety Measures (CSM) on our knives.

Heard that CSM will be decided by food processing industry to protect you from injuries. The knife is not going to cut some kinds of meat and vegetables. Toast bread makers suggest cutting bread causes considerable risk to fingers.

Now, CSM was a joke, but DRM not. Computers are tools of my profession. Damn...

Wrote the bootloader for our new SH2 board. Break from UML for a while, what a fun to talk pure C again! Sections, FLASH, DMA - all the joys of bitflipping.
Like someone in NO said during flood: "Give us another idiot!" I missed Irene, she'd say the same. Heard a politicoid performing Von Muenchausen's bootstrap from the shit he brew? Mr. Bush again - he will "take the full responsibility" and himself investigate (himself?). Oh dear...

1. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Conservative U.S. evangelist Pat Robertson apologized on Wednesday for calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying he spoke in frustration earlier in the week.
-I don't give Mr. Chavez another year, wish to be wrong.
2. Bush: We will complete the mission
-Right! The target of 1M casualties still not met.
3. Israel seizes Palestinian land for barrier
-Just can't stop it, doctor...

Was it Great Britain or Israel? China? The only scary thing about terrorism is the use of "exceptional measures" by regimes. Outside of law. Shoot to kill. To protect us from _real_ danger, better shoot folks smoking in public places or Philip Morris employees. Lung cancer kills more efficiently than suicide bombers.
Do I have the sinking feeling? Yes, we are damned.

"The mass media can and must promote justice and solidarity according to an organic and correct vision of human development, by reporting events accurately and truthfully, analyzing situations and problems completely, and providing a forum for different opinions. An authentically ethical approach to using the powerful communication media must be situated within the context of a mature exercise of freedom and responsibility, founded upon the supreme criteria of truth and justice."
From "APOSTOLIC LETTER THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT
OF THE HOLY FATHER JOHN PAUL II TO THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMMUNICATIONS"...

So no entry today. It was meant to be a story of a fish who had her wishes come true in a great hurry, resulting in quite a mess. She was pledging for her life after all. Can't be cool at all times, _especially_ when your blurred vision recognizes a knife and frying pan waiting ready. And the hook! Don't forget, she might have been misspelling.

Justice is:
1. Equal access to institutions of law (the quality of service not dependent on money, social status, etc)
2. Equal influence on lawmaking process

I'm afraid there's no justice in any country yet and "equal before the law" is a meaningless phrase.

Establishing a new law should resemble the development of software.

I mean, first there is a problem to solve, then it's decided it would be solved by a new law. The specifications and test cases are collected, the law designed and written down. After reviews and corrections it's uploaded into a working system, where accountable administrators monitor it's efficiency and side effects.

The intention is that the letter of law would follow it's spirit clearly stated in easily - understandable words (handling a given problem and nothing else).
Any side effects (backdoors, loopholes) would be debugged out by accountable entities.
It might be possible to create and apply law codification standards to speed up the process and make it transparent to the public.
