The powers that be want as many people to see this as possible so that they can inflame passions for the new invasion of Iraq. They know that telling people not to watch it will ensure that as many people get to see it as possible.
VEI of 6 eruptions are not very frequent in the world and tend to cause prolonged extreme weather events. The last was Mount Pinatubo in 1991 and the ash dropped the global temperature by 0.4 degrees C.
Its largest eruption (8500 years ago) is estimated to have had a VEI of 6 and produced the largest holocene lava flow in the world. At least that's what wikipedia says. Could be big, could be less big in this case.
criticalmass24 writes: As military police forces gather around Ferguson, trying to quell an angry, frustrated, and betrayed population, some people are taking their fight online. ‘OpFerguson’, being spear-headed by members of the hacktivism collective Anonymous, launched a couple of days ago.
biodata writes: BBC News is reporting findings published in the journal ACS Nano by Dr David Mitlin's group from Clarkson University, New York. "We're making graphene-like materials for a thousandth of the price — and we're doing it with waste." "The hemp we use is perfectly legal to grow. It has no THC in it at all — so there's no overlap with any recreational activities." Dr. Mitlin's team took waste hemp stems and recycled the material into supercapacitors with performance as good, or better, than those built from graphene, at a fraction of the raw materials cost.
DavidGilbert99 writes: While the Gaza Strip and a small town in Missouri may not look like they'll have anything in common but as a result of police firing tear gas at protestors in Ferguson on Wednesday night, they now at least have one thing in common. As a result of the increased police action, people from Gaza began tweeting people in Ferguson with advice on how to avoid being fired upon and what to do to limit the pain when you are hit.
diamondmagic writes: Wired's new profile of Edward Snowden reveals that the 2012 outage of Syria's Internet, in an attempt to spy on communications in the midst of a civil war, was caused when the NSA tried to remotely install an exploit onto a core router. The article continues: "But something went wrong, and the router was bricked instead—rendered totally inoperable. The failure of this router caused Syria to suddenly lose all connection to the Internet—although the public didn’t know that the US government was responsible."
This. Plus it's somewhere to go and read books and magazines, check out the internet if you can't afford it or are away from home, and get help with finding information from skilled experts at finding information.
An anonymous reader writes: Ryan Lackey of CloudFlare and Marc Rogers of Lookout revealed a new OPSEC device at Def Con called PORTAL (Personal Onion Router to Assure Liberty). It "provides always-on Tor routing, as well as 'pluggable' transport for Tor that can hide the service's traffic signature from some deep packet inspection systems." In essence, PORTAL is a travel router that the user simply plugs into their existing device for more than basic Tor protection (counterpoint to PogoPlug Safeplug and Onion Pi). On the down side, you have to download PORTAL from Github and flash it "onto a TP-Link compatible packet router." The guys behind the device acknowledge that not many people may want to (or even know how to) do that, so they're asking everyone to standby because a solution is pending.
