Submission + - Police demand new powers to stop and search (guardian.co.uk)

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: According to the Guardian; Police are demanding new powers to stop and search suspected terror suspects. Just take one step back for a moment and analyse this. Do the Police not have enough power to arrest someone if they are a terror suspect? This has sparked a lively debate on Human Rights and your private parts being fondled.

Submission + - Assange's Defence (crikey.com.au)

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: Lost in bad reporting — Assange's lawyer speaks Sadly, there is a smear campaign against Assange and the balance needs to be reset. I do know Julian and he has always been a kind individual, but the way Palin and other politicians are speaking of him is totally disgraceful and utterly unfounded including "Conspiracy to committ Murder" of Assange.

Who is the guilty party here? Certainly not Assange. Wiki-Leaks have just provided a platform for open governments world-wide instead of secrecy and under-handed business deals and sponsorship of terrorism by the United States and other Countries to protect "vested" interests like oil.

The wikileaks insurance.aes file is exactly what it says. It will be more devasting than anything ever released, but it is getting closer.

I do not want to see 30 years on singing "Free Julian Assange" just like the world bonded together to free "Nelson Mandela" with concerts world-wide. Therefore, I vote Julian for a Nobel Peace Prize and if you do not agree, well that is your choice until you find out the truth. Hurts doesn't it? Not as much as the other releases are going to hurt. The truth hurts, but only for a short while. Enjoy George Orwell 1984 >>ffwd>>2011

Submission + - How do you relax?

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: I have been through hard times, however I can handle that as an Ex Royal Marine Commando (42 Bickliegh Devon). I was SFSG (Special Forces Support Group). Plus well trained indeed. I am not a push-over. It is just the basic things of life which are starting to get on my goat now, especially television advertisements and I need to relax a little but I cannot. I am just being honest here and was a Staff Seargeant, I cannot relax though and it is slowly killing me. I am either hyper at on stage or a complete miserable bastard.

Please do not say go see your doctor or friggin pyschaitrist or take pills as that does not work. I have been to combat stress to speak with some people http://www.combatstress.org.uk/ but that does not help and there are very few people who do not understand a damn thing. The MoD have failed me but I just want to relax and find it impossible,

I love /. so that is why I am asking here.... can some of you tell me how to switch off?

Submission + - Facebook murderer/social network warning (sky.com)

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: Once again, we see another Murder and Rape after meeting on a social networking site, namely facebook. This guy could have killed more people, but he has only admitted to one, the investigation continues.

As a /. user I am highly dismayed that people need to use Social Networking sites. It is far easier to meet real people and not FAKE people who subscribe to this crap to get publicity and gain online friends. Is it just me being old school or do other people feel the same way?

Submission + - Dr David Kelly - the verdict is still open (infoaction.org.uk)

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: This is NOT going to go away. Dr David Kelly was murdered and the evidence suggests so http://dhalpin.infoaction.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78&Itemid=2 It is clear evidence has been left out and there has been cover ups regarding forensic evidence. Hopefully if you read this report for yourself, you will truly get a better idea of what is MISSING in the evidence and make up your own mind,

There is no way Mr Kelly would have committed suicide. Comments welcome please!

Submission + - Save the BBC (Murdoch) The Empire Strikes Back (avaaz.org)

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: What can I say; The BBC is considering sweeping cuts, cutting its website in half and dropping TV and radio stations. The reason: to enrich corporate media. According to a story in the Times, the proposal is a bid to "shrink" in order to "appease the BBC's rivals." If this goes forward, it's a giveaway to Rupert Murdoch, who sees the BBC as a threat to his profits.

The BBC is a global treasure. Public outcry has prevented BBC cuts before, now we can save it again! Sign the petition and pass it along — let's get to 100,000 signatures before we deliver it to the BBC Trust later this week, so they know the UK, and the world, want the Beeb to stand strong:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lets give Murdoch a kick in the booty that he deserves. http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_the_bbc/?vl — petition
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The BBC isn't perfect, but the people pushing for these cuts want to destroy it, not to improve it. The Times, owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, responded by calling for further cuts such as closing Radio 1. Last autumn, Rupert's son James Murdoch gave a speech calling for the BBC to be forced to become "far, far smaller".

Come on Ladies and Gentlemen, Home Boyz and Fly Girlz we cannot let this happen.

Today's cuts are proposed in a "strategic review" written by John Tate — co-author of the Conservative Party's manifesto, and now a BBC executive. If the goal is to reduce competition to corporate media outfits, this may just be the beginning.

Murdoch — the global media magnate — has long seen the BBC as his biggest rival, and his media outlets have assaulted the Labor government. Now, with the recession hurting profits and a UK election coming soon, he and his allies are on the attack.

We need greater investment in quality and originality by the BBC, not death by a thousand cuts. Let's raise all our voices to protect the Beeb, and deliver an overwhelming number of signatures to the BBC Trust this week — sign and spread the word to everyone:

Submission + - MMR doctors to be struck off (itn.co.uk)

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: Fears over the MMR vaccine and it's links to causing Austism are still quite real Dr Wakefield and colleagues professors John Walker-Smith and Simon Murch could be struck off the medical register.

I know of problems in the United States where a friend in Missouri has Autistic children after injections and mercury poisoning with the very same injections. These professors are about to be struck off. What for? being honest about the risks.

Books

Submission + - Ancient Egyption Book of the Dead (wikipedia.org) 1

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: As some of you may know I have been reading the first editions of the Book of the Dead, by E. A Wallis Budge M.A LittD., D.LIT " Keeper of the Egyption and Assyrian Antiquities in the British Museum"

These are rare books indeed and it has been a very challenging read, including the heiroglyphics and decifering what is mean't. Therefore I would like to give you another scope on what I have learned.

You can find some data here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_the_Dead but it is not comprehensive enough. My take on matters is in tune with wikipedia, but having read all of the original books, I ended up did quite sick, but as a carried on reading I felt better there were verses that made me feel better.

I am therefore convinced there is a curse and the knowledge contained within also has healing properties. Everything that is written in the Bible is all from the book of the dead and most religions worldwide including the Q'ran or Quran however you wish to spell it all stem from the book of the dead.

What I found interesting were references to UFO's and people landing on Earth from the Big Dipper star system near Orion's belt and a great war which occured a long time ago. Technology was given as trust although some scientists will totally disagree with my point of view. I am just giving you my take on matters the way I understand things.

The heiroglyphics depict cats and massive healing properties when they sit on you and purr away as a cure for cancer. It also says, that cancer is caused by sonic waves whereby an organ is not in sychronisation with everything else physically. It says, therefore there is a hidden force to destroy, what is not in sync and therefore creates cancer as a way of destroying the offending body part and that is all cancer is.

It has been a very interesting indeed, There is talk of sickness and health. What is important is to always be compassionate and be loveable and you can do or be anything you like. There is a damnedness of hatred which means you will forever be a "Skin Walker" Red Indian beliefs. Now if you can get your hands on the books or read them in the library, your life will never be the same again.

I sincerely feel those that are interested in the book of the dead can read them at a main library. Nu :)
  Try and get some arabic language skills, but the heiroglyphics tell a different story.

Submission + - Toshiba's legal spyware! (toshiba-europe.com) 1

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: Tonight a friend brought around his Toshiba Laptop complaining he was getting pop ups and unwanted issues regarding his internet browsing. I have been battling to uninstall all of this crap for the past 4 hours and it still does not want to remove itself despite every trick in the book to remove this damn phorming malware that is embedded in the chip. There is little I can do, As I write this, I am trying to clean the machine to the best of my ability.

Now it turns out having gone through all the "small print" "Terms and Conditions" when you buy a Toshiba Laptop, you are automatically "opted in". Is this just me being paranoid or is this a new way by advertisers to circumvent a loophole in the law, which strictly speaking means; if you want to buy a product based on it's quality, you are stuck with spyware in chips?

Submission + - Beating Swine Flu the Natural Way!

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: Having been through the H1N1 once and had it migrate again almost destroying my lungs. I still remain standing. Yes it was ruthless, however I drank 2 pints of tomato juice per day and the juice of seven fresh lemons per day mixed with garlic.

Now I did not take any prescribed drugs, that the British Government wants you to take. Sorry last time in Iraq I took the VX nerve agent so I am very suspicious of anything as it has lasting affects like Gulf War syndrome, not to mention all the other lies.

The best thing you can do in order to combat this is do what I said. Be brave people and you will with Darwin's Theory of "Evolution", Naturally kick this H1N1 into touch.

As always Mother Nature gives us all the answers.

Submission + - A new take on Islamic Extremism.

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: In the advent of having first hand experience of being on the "receiving end". I have Intelligence in this field, Islamic extremists "operate" like perverts or pedophiles and they want to get their own way, but you see it is not just "Islamic Extremists", this occurs throughout society in different religions' too.

Well you may wonder what is the point of this post? Man is killing Earth through greed and extremism. We are already over populated, however nobody will win any wars if we do not stop climate change right now. Everything you have worked for will mean nothing and your children will struggle to survive, because "Mother Nature" will kick all our "arses".

I just want you all to cut your carbon footprint immediately because if we do not do it "Right Now". By 2050 most of mankind will dead. So is that the future you want for you children to inherit? With Slashdot's users base we can help we can change this.

I say be happy with what you have already got, then ask yourself the question do I really need more? Try to be compassionate toward all religions without enforcement.

Right now the World needs LOVE not bombs or war and that shall diffuse everything. Even better with music as music has no boundaries!

Yours Humbly,

Submission + - Why I love slashdot.

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: "Yes some people hate slashdot, but I love slashdot. What is it about slashdot that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy from my heart? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elixir_of_life So we have some highly intelligent people here and that inspires me. Some people are dreadfully whitty beyond belief which really floats my boat and makes me smile.

If it were not for slashdot, I think I would have gone bonkers a long time ago. Here I can comprehend other people and realise I am not alone with my views or have to wear "caked" on make up like a CNN news reader. Don't me started with Fox news either!

Honestly slashdot does have good health properties and allows me to communicate things that matter. I would have joined freshmeat years ago if it were not for Military duty. nonetheless slashdot although not perfect is pretty close and successful to achieving an absolute.

My cat just meowed after asking her what she thought to this post. So you now have a feline vote and one from me.

The question I am asking is what do you love about slashdot?"

Submission + - Digital is no match for Analogue

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: After sitting on the sidelines for a few years, the digital switchover has cost another LIFE up in Glen Coe (Scotland) all because of digital. I really do not want to go in to "gory" details, however whilst on an excercise near Fort William, me and friends got an alert over ANALOGUE radio waves that a climber was in trouble.

Apparently, the now deceased person tried to use a digital radio to ask for a rescue. Range of this radio is 8 KM and we found on his body only after a special alert from other climbers but this was a little to late as digital is prone to bad weather as is satellite.

If the climbers were using Analogue Radio, we could have saved this guy and I was deeply upset that we were too late as Analogue Radio transmits through all weather conditions and digital does not. According to one climber and his team he said "that he understood in an emergency, their digital radio's would be enough".

Sadly this is not the case. So governement's trying to switch off Analogue for Digital is just B0rked. I could have saved this mans life if he used Analogue Radio. I could have saved him, really I could, but I am so dismayed that some people think Digital is 31337.

I would like to hear comments and if you feel Digital is better than Analogue.

Submission + - East Africa gets connected (bbc.co.uk)

NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: "Kenya and other parts of East Africa are now getting connected via a Fibre Optic connection from India to East Africa. This means that the exhorbitant costs for people to be connected are going to become a thing of the past. You can read the report here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8257038.stm

The question is; with all these extra millions getting online, are we going to see an explosion of further 419 scams and infected machines on the increase over the next two years as security is not top of the agenda?"

Yes I am bizarre/eccentric, but I want to be cremated, with flowers saying fucking bastard and my ashes loaded in to the biggest gun on HMS Ocean and fired out in to the Southern Ocean to give a good sending off and all Navy personnel doing 50 Gecko Bastards instead of "Eyes Right" and salutations. How do you want to do your funeral? You will never know until you think about it!"
