There is war going on for your mind
On September 26, 1983, the nuclear early warning system of the Soviet Union twice reported the launch of American Minuteman ICBMs from bases in the United States . These missile attack warnings were correctly identified as a false alarm by Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov , an officer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces . This decision is seen as having prevented an erroneous retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and its NATO allies, which would have likely resulted in nuclear war and the potential deaths of millions of people. Investigation of the satellite warning system later confirmed that the system had malfunctioned. [ edit ] Background

A mí lo que me aterra es el poder de las palabras. Ni siquiera el poder, que poder no tienen, sino el caso que la gente les hace. Me refiero a Camilo Jiménez y a Carolina Sanín, de quienes juré no hablar. Renunciaron públicamente, ¿y qué? Yo creo que el éxito de sus artículos se debe a que hablan de ellos, y hablar en primera persona es muy fácil. Cuando no se sabe escribir lo más sencillo es redactar una carta abierta o escribir de uno mismo, de sus gustos y de sus miedos.

Get Internet Access When Your Government Shuts It Down
These days, no popular movement goes without an Internet presence of some kind, whether it's organizing on Facebook or spreading the word through Twitter. And as we've seen in Egypt , that means that your Internet connection can be the first to go. Whether you're trying to check in with your family, contact your friends, or simply spread the word, here are a few ways to build some basic network connectivity when you can't rely on your cellular or landline Internet connections.
Our Weirdness Is Free
ANONYMOUS, WHICH CAME INTO BEING on the online message board 4chan eight years ago, is by nature and intent difficult to define: a name employed by various groups of hackers, technologists, activists, human rights advocates, and geeks; a cluster of ideas and ideals adopted by these people and centered around the concept of anonymity; a banner for collective actions online and in the real world that have ranged from fearsome but trivial pranks to technological support for Arab revolutionaries. In recent months, Anonymous has announced audacious plans to take down the seemingly invincible Mexican drug cartels; instigated and promoted the nationwide Occupy movement; and shut down the website of the Florida Family Association, which is behind the campaign against the television show All-American Muslim , and leaked the names and credit card numbers of donors. These actions are sometimes peaceful and legal, sometimes disruptive and illicit, often existing in a moral and legal gray area.
How You Can Make Good Use Of Your Old Machines
Almost everyone reading the articles on this site will have spare computers languishing about. The rapid growth and improvements in hardware means that we cycle through a whole machine in only a few years. If you have spare machines and parts languishing about, you can put them to good use! In this article I have outlined some of the purposes your old hardware can serve.
/:16 If you've built your fair share of PCs over the years, you probably have quite a few old fans lying around. Here's how to quickly give them a purpose by turning them into small wind generators. To start you'll need an old PC fan (the bigger the better, obviously), a thick plastic bottle, an old CD, some wire, some Schottky diodes, and a few miscellaneous craft supplies. You'll need to know how to solder, too, but beyond that, it's a pretty simple hack.
Turn Old PC Fans into Battery-Recharging Wind Turbines
Capitalism and the corporate culture, despite spinning off a virtual cornucopia of benefits for humanity as a side effect of its obsessive drive for profit, has become more and more destructive to both the quality of human consciousness and the quality of the ecosystem . Capitalism is about making a profit and the corporations which populate capitalism are profit generating organisms. In this, they’re not very different from biological organisms. All living systems have to operate at a profit, that is increase their energy and substance, as well as propagate, in order to survive.

Según Daniel Largacha, abogado de Guido Nule, la decisión se tomó puesto que tanto la defensa como la Fiscalía se encontraron en una contradicción con lo expuesto por la juez, por lo que en los próximos días se solicitará una audiencia con otra juez para que se levante la medida de aseguramiento contra los primos Nule. “Consideramos que es necesario agilizar el proceso para que este sea más viable y rápida , por lo que decidimos retirar la solicitud de la revocatoria”, precisó Largacha.
