Kim Dotcom: US Govt Is Protecting An Outdated Monopolistic Business Model : technology. Megaupload Founder Defeats US Govt Attempts To Put Him Back In Prison. After being granted bail last week, Kim Dotcom went home to spend some quality time with his family. The Megaupload founder had been in prison for little over a month after his arrest in January. Upset at the decision to grant Dotcom freedom, the US Government, argued yesterday in an appeal hearing that he should be put back in jail. Today they failed in that attempt and Dotcom remains a free man - at least for now. On February 22nd, Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom was released on bail by North Shore District Court Judge Nevin Dawson. Dotcom had been held in custody since an anti-terrorist police squad raided his Coatesville mansion in January following a lengthy FBI investigation. The prosecution, acting on behalf of the US Government, argued that Dotcom had hidden resources that would enable him to flee the country should he be granted bail.
Today Judge Tim Brewer agreed, denying the prosecution’s appeal and allowing Dotcom to remain a free man pending an extradition appeal in August. Medical Marijuana Bill Clears First Hurdle In Illinois. SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - People suffering from cancer, AIDS and other diseases could turn to marijuana for pain relief under a plan approved Wednesday by an Illinois House committee despite claims that it would be a step toward legalizing pot.
Under the legislation, people with a doctor's permission would be eligible for a state registry card allowing up to seven marijuana plants in their homes and 2 ounces of "usable cannabis. " The measure is written to expire after three years. Advocates say marijuana eases pain without the side effects of heavier drugs and reduces nausea from chemotherapy. "There is needless suffering going on out there," said the sponsor, Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie. "Everything else is a sideshow. " But Rep. "It is the No. 1 drug that introduces young people to other drugs," said Bellock, who voted against the measure in the Human Services Committee. Still, it passed 4-3 and now goes to the House floor. Technically, Illinois authorized medical marijuana in 1978.
Democratic Reps. The Collapse of Print Advertising in 1 Graph - Derek Thompson - Business. Call it creative if you want, but this is what economic destruction looks like. Print newspaper ads have fallen by two-thirds from $60 billion in the late-1990s to $20 billion in 2011. You sometimes hear it said that newspapers are dead. Now, $20 billion is the kind of "dead" most people would trade their lives for. You never hear anybody say "bars and nightclubs are dead! " So the reason newspapers are in trouble isn't that they aren't making lots of money -- they still are; advertising is a huge, huge business, as any app developer will try to tell you -- but that their business models and payroll depend on so much more money. Don't just blame the bloggers. The decline is stunning.
*This graph is a useful reminder of the comparative performance of the nation's biggest newspapers. Duncan Blasts "Useless" Air Marshal Service | Congressman John J.

[english subtitles] Learn HTML5 in 5 Minutes! Written by Jennifer Marsman There's no question, HTML5 is a hot topic for developers.
If you need a crash course to quickly understand the fundamentals of HTML5's functionality, you’re in the right place. In this tutorial, I’ll cover the new semantic markup, canvas for drawing and animation, audio and video support, and how to use HTML5 with older browsers. Might be a bit more than five minutes, but I promise I’ll keep it quick. There’s a great story about a university who, when building their campus, didn’t create any walking paths. A year later, the grass was all worn out where people walked most frequently. It makes perfect sense! The HTML5 new semantic elements were based on that exact same logic (see the W3C design guidance to “Pave the Cowpaths”).
Semantic elements describe their meaning or purpose clearly to the browser and to the developer. Developers commonly use IDs and/or class names with these <div> tags. Here are a few of the new semantic elements in HTML5: <! What does it feel like to have your spouse die. Socionics. JOE HITS ON GIRLS. Spencer Stern.

Mathematical coincidence. Coincidence in mathematics A mathematical coincidence is said to occur when two expressions with no direct relationship show a near-equality which has no apparent theoretical explanation. For example, there is a near-equality close to the round number 1000 between powers of 2 and powers of 10: Some mathematical coincidences are used in engineering when one expression is taken as an approximation of another. Introduction[edit] A mathematical coincidence often involves an integer, and the surprising feature is the fact that a real number arising in some context is considered by some standard as a "close" approximation to a small integer or to a multiple or power of ten, or more generally, to a rational number with a small denominator. Some examples[edit] Rational approximants[edit] Sometimes simple rational approximations are exceptionally close to interesting irrational values.

Lucifer's Hammer. Lucifer's Hammer is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, first published in 1977.[2] It was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1978.[3] A comic book adaptation was published by Innovation Comics in 1993.[4] Plot summary[edit] The story details a comet impacting on Earth, an end to civilization, and the battle for the future. It encompasses the discovery of the comet, the Los Angeles social scene, and a cast of diverse characters whom fate seems to smile upon and allow to survive the massive cataclysm and the resulting tsunamis, plagues, famines, and battles among scavengers and cannibals.
When wealthy soap company heir and amateur astronomer Tim Hamner codiscovers a new comet, dubbed Hamner-Brown, documentary producer Harvey Randall persuades Hamner to have his family's company sponsor a television documentary series on the subject.

East Africa internet access slows to a crawl after anchor snags cable | World news. Internet speeds in Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Ethiopia and South Sudan are expected to slow 20%.
Photograph: Johann Helgason/Alamy The old theory that a butterly flapping its wings can cause a hurricane on the other side of the world may be somewhat far-fetched. But that a ship dropping anchor can disrupt the lives of millions has become painfully evident. That is what happened off the Kenyan coast when, by unlucky chance, an anchor scored a direct hit on an underwater fibre-optic cable. The knock-on effect is a predicted 20% slowdown in internet speeds in Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Ethiopia and South Sudan, the BBC reported. The offending ship was waiting to enter the port of Mombasa at the weekend when it halted in a restricted area.
The damaged cable, owned by The East African Marine Systems (Teams) – in which the Kenyan government has a share – is one of three serving east Africa. The cable links the region to the United Arab Emirates. Madness Abrogation. Incident:010A. Madness Combat 6.5. Incident:001A. Madness Inundation.

Why Anti-Authoritarians are Diagnosed as Mentally Ill | Most psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals are not only extraordinarily compliant with authorities but also unaware of the magnitude of their obedience. : Foodforthought. Why Anti-Authoritarians are Diagnosed as Mentally Ill. (Note: Read Bruce Levine’s latest post: Anti-Authoritarians and Schizophrenia: Do Rebels Who Defy Treatment Do Better?
In my career as a psychologist, I have talked with hundreds of people previously diagnosed by other professionals with oppositional defiant disorder, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, anxiety disorder and other psychiatric illnesses, and I am struck by (1) how many of those diagnosed are essentially anti-authoritarians, and (2) how those professionals who have diagnosed them are not. Anti-authoritarians question whether an authority is a legitimate one before taking that authority seriously. Evaluating the legitimacy of authorities includes assessing whether or not authorities actually know what they are talking about, are honest, and care about those people who are respecting their authority.
Some activists lament how few anti-authoritarians there appear to be in the United States. Why Mental Health Professionals Diagnose Anti-Authoritarians with Mental Illness. TC@MWC: Hands-On With The HTC One S. The HTC One X is clearly the device everyone wants to see, which is why I decided to give its little brother a bit of spotlight first. The One S is sort of a puzzle to me. Though it’s meant to be more of a mid-range device than the powerhouse that is the HTC One X, the One S sports an arguably handsomer exterior. Unlike its polycarbonate-clad counterpart, the One S sports a frame made from single piece of aluminum, which imbues it with a more robust, premium feel despite its light weight and slim (7.9mm!) Frame. Much as I like the One X, I think there’s a very real chance that the One S will ultimately be the real leader of the pack when it comes to popularity.
It felt rather zippy too — there was nary a hiccup to be seen, thanks in large part to its 1GB of RAM and its 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 processor. While it may seem on paper like a step down from the quad-core savagery of the One X’s Tegra 3 SoC, there was (to me at least) very little difference in performance between the two. HTC One Lineup Revealed: The One X, One S, And One V. TC@MWC: Hands-On With The HTC One X. Ah yes, the One X. It’s been shrouded by rumors and half-truths for so long now that it’s quite a thrill to get one in my hands. While I like the One S’s build quality quite a bit, I found myself taking a shine to the One X’s industrial design almost immediately.
It’s 9.7mm waistline is remarkably thin considering all that HTC managed to jam into it (Tegra 3 chipset, 1GB of RAM, killer camera, etc.), and the use of multiple materials adds a welcome bit of sensory contrast. The device’s back is made of a solid polycarbonate shell that becomes glossier along the device’s edges, while a glass plate stretches nearly from edge to edge on the One X’s face. Though I’m sure many more will enjoy the One S’s slim metallic frame, there’s just something very alluring about the way the One X has been put together. Strange as it sounds, it’s a sort of visceral feeling that I haven’t felt since I first laid eyes on the iPhone 4.
Kudos to HTC’s design team for this one. The Samsung Galaxy S III Leaked! 1.5GHz, 4.8-inch 1080p Display, Ceramic Case. Samsung previously made it known that the Galaxy S III would not be announced at Mobile World Congress. But it leaked anyway. And it might steal the show. Forgot about the HTC One X and Sony Xperia U, the Samsung GSIII will be the Android phone to beat in 2012. Inside the Galaxy S III is said to be a quad-core Samsung Exynos CPU running at 1.5GHz.
It will power a 4.8-inch 16×9 display that’s reportedly a Blu-ray display — whatever that means. A 2MP resides in the front bezel while an 8MP is embedded around back. BGR doesn’t state the target carrier(s) but the phone will rock a 4G LTE radio. The case is reportedly made out of ceramic, which in a world of plastic and aluminum, is a fun change of pace. It will ship with Android 4.0 installed sometime later this year. World's lightest road bike: 2.7kg (6lb) bike that weighs less than a gallon of milk. : bicycling. World's Lightest Road Bike at 2.7kg. The bike you’re about to see was an idea originally started and created in 2008 by a German guy named Gunter Mai who logged over 20,000km on the machine for a couple years and it weighed at around 3.2kg. Early in 2011 he parted out the bike and sold each piece individually around the world. Some of the key parts were bought by some guy in Colorado who commissioned Jason Woznick of Fairwheel Bikes in Tucson, Arizona to create even lighter parts to finish a new build of it.
Every part on the bike is completely custom made and cannot be bought unless you wanted it made specially for you. Even if you did want it made for you, you would have to contact manufacturers who already make the lightest parts and then ask them to make a custom piece for you that is even lighter. As a result, this new machine weighs in at 2.7kg or just about 6.0lbs. As a result of some of the custom work, this has allowed manufacturers to push their limits.
