Daily Roundup
Captured! Teflon Don has the story about the possible capture of three US Army personnel. I've heard absolutely zero in the MSM on this one. Not sure if that's due to laziness or a request from the DoD to keep this quiet until they know the fate of the soldiers in question. I pray for the soldiers and their families. Not know has to be the worst of all.
Nancy Pelosi's authoritarian impulses on full display. More from Don Surber here.
Update: That didn't last long.
Fox News is derided as an organ of the GOP. Watch this video to see that myth exploded. It's softball vs. football.
A list of emerging markets from Forbes. Some surprises here as well as surprising omissions. Readers are invited to see if they can spot any similarities in policies that lead to high growth.
How can one work in Hollywood and keep their moral compass? These people want to show you how.
What happens when two programs designed to beat the Turing Test get to chatting? It's like reading an exchange translated from Chinese to English by someone who's extremely high.
The MPAA and RIAA have been fighting a losing battle with hackers for access control over their products. DRM is roundly decried by nearly everyone and has been an abject failure. How bad off is DRM? Well, the new key for HD-DVD's has been cracked six days before it is released. This is predictable. When I was a budding 'puter geek. The prestige was rooted (if you'll pardon the pun) in "zero days warez". That is, software that had not yet been released. Being the first to get a game before it was "in the wild" was a big deal. Piracy is wrong and I would never be involved with anything like that but from what I hear, there were BBS's hosted with exclusively zero days stuff. (Extra points to those of you who remember what a BBS is and kudos to those who know why you'd use a 300 baud modem for overseas dialing instead of the then screaming fast 1200 baud modem).
If you say "A" I say "B", you say "B", I say "A". I'd love to see what he would advocate if they started de-escalation.
Apparently, the road to Damascus runs through Cleveland.
