Sony takes second stab at DRM patch
But a top executive's response to criticism over the company's use of rootkit technology has added fuel to the backlash.

Risk management
Sony BMG Music Entertainment Inc. issued another patch for its rootkit-laced digital rights management (DRM) system Tuesday. But a top executive's response to the outcry over its use of the technology has only added fuel to the fire.

Users have been lashing out against Sony Global Digital Business President Thomas Hesse in such blogs as Techdirt and Digg over comments he made during an interview with National Public Radio. Asked about the public outcry over Sony's use of a rootkit in its DRM program to prevent CD copying, he said, "Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"
Hesse was contacted for this story by phone Tuesday, but he did not respond. IT professionals who were asked about the controversy said Sony's attempt to justify the use of rootkit technology is especially troubling.
"It never ceases to amaze me that companies will use techniques that are clearly unethical," Paul Schmehl, adjunct information security officer for the University of Texas at Dallas and a founding member of the Anti-Virus Information Exchange Network, said in an e-mail exchange. "Then, when confronted, instead of coming clean, they attempt to minimize the damage or criticize the researcher's findings."
All this does is motivate researchers to work "that much harder" to find the truth, he said, adding, "When the truth does come out, and it doesn't fit the company's version of the facts, the results can be catastrophic. Sony is now being sued. The lawsuit will generate even more publicity, none of which will make Sony look good."
So far, The Washington Post noted Tuesday, Sony faces a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of California consumers who may have been harmed by Sony CDs in which the rootkit technology is used. A second, nationwide class-action lawsuit was expected to be filed against Sony in a New York court on Wednesday seeking relief for all U.S. consumers who have purchased such CDs, the paper added.
Todd Towles, a network systems analyst at a medium-sized, Southeastern-based retail chain, said in an e-mail exchange that Sony deserves the backlash because of:
- Its "obvious attempt" to mislead the casual user of the running software;
- Its "lack of information discourse" in their end user license agreement about the rootkit-type technology;
- Its claims that the software is harmless, even though the rootkit technology can be used to hide any system process with a simple rename -- a feature that reduces the overall security of a computer system; and
- The uninstaller the company and its British technology partner, First 4 Internet Ltd., issued last week only removes the cloaking techniques -- not the software or the DRM.
"It would seem to suggest that Sony either doesn't understand the security consequences of their actions or meant to mislead the public again about the security consequences of their rootkit technology," Towles said. "These issues could very well land Sony BMG in some very hot legal water… I am not a lawyer… but I can say it doesn't look good for Sony. As a privacy advocate, I take real issue with the line that Sony now appears to be flirting on."
Towles and Schmehl said they've been keeping track of developments by reading the blog of researcher Mark Russinovich at Sysinternals.com. Russinovich, chief software architect and co-founder of Winternals Software in Austin, Texas, found the rootkit on his own machine and wrote up an analysis of it on his blog, setting off the controversy.
In his most recent entry, Russinovich detailed a response he got from First 4 Internet rebutting several of the issues he raised. "Instead of admitting fault for installing a rootkit and installing it without proper disclosure, both Sony and First 4 Internet claim innocence," he said. "By not coming clean they are making clear to any potential customers that they are a not only technically incompetent, but also dishonest."
"His analysis of their response is pretty devastating," Schmehl said. "He has now proven that you can crash Windows using their aries.sys driver, which contradicts what they claim. Furthermore, one of the commenters in one of the threads has discovered that you can rename a CD ripper using the First 4 Internet clocking technique ($sys$filename) and completely bypass their DRM protection."

Who were the athletes of 2013?
The calendar year brought championships to high-profile players -- LeBron James and David Ortiz, anyone? -- but also saw some under-the-radar names snag big trophies. The year also featured a number of outstanding individual performances, even if they didn't bring rings. So, with the year winding to a close, we ask: Which athlete stood out in each sport?

My First PC
By JOHN MARKOFF
Published: May 10, 2001
TWENTY years ago, I bought my first personal computer.
I wasn't the earliest of adopters. There were already dozens of PC makers, with names like Apple, Atari, Radio Shack and Texas Instruments. Though I had been thinking about buying a computer for several years, I had never been able to afford one. But in October 1981, newly employed, I drove to the Computerland store in Los Altos, Calif., and paid about $3,000 for an I.B.M. Personal Computer.
At a distance of two decades, I'm not entirely sure why I chose an I.B.M. PC instead of one of its more established rivals, like the Apple III -- a cool computer with better graphics and a more advanced operating system. Perhaps it was because of the Apple III's reputation for quality problems.
It may also have had to do with I.B.M.'s legendary reputation for service back then. After all, I had seen its technicians resuscitate my secondhand Selectric typewriter, with its rotating type ball, year after year.
But probably, like hundreds of thousands of others, I saw I.B.M.'s arrival on the PC scene in August 1981 as a sign that the very nature and potential of computing had changed.
''Those three letters were a booster rocket for the personal computing world,'' said Paul Freiberger, a McKinsey & Company consultant who is co-author of ''Fire in the Valley: The Making of the Personal Computer'' (McGraw-Hill, 2000).
Personal computers were no longer just for playing games, no longer garage-style Heathkit projects. They were becoming the stuff of business, with word processors replacing typewriters, and tools like spreadsheets and databases no longer limited to the technically adept.
And once PC's began infiltrating corporate America, a virtually exclusive I.B.M. franchise for decades, Big Blue felt compelled to act. In fact, in contrast to the developers of the first PC's, I.B.M. didn't see its personal computer as very personal at all. It was aimed at the office desktop.
Mine was no exception. I had recently started my first full-time job as a reporter, covering the fledgling PC industry for InfoWorld -- a publication that aspired to be the Rolling Stone (or was it the Sports Illustrated?) of personal computing.
The InfoWorld office in Palo Alto, Calif., had several personal computers -- the Radio Shack PC's known as Trash 80's, along with Sols, Osbornes and Apple II's and III's. The writing machine of choice was a NorthStar, a boxy PC that used eight-inch floppy disks and was controlled from a monitor-keyboard contraption known as a dumb terminal.
But there weren't enough computers to go around, and we had to share them. So I was eager to get my own.
What I brought back to the office was decidedly not a cool machine. Unlike many of the hobbyist computers of the era, wrapped in everything from plastic enclosures to teak boxes, the I.B.M. PC was corporately clad in a drab gray metal box. For the base price of $1,565, it came with 16 kilobytes of memory and no monitor or disk drives.
I had run the tab to $3,000 by adding two 5 1/4-inch floppy-disk drives (one for the operating system and another for data and programs), a boxy monitor that displayed text in a fluorescent green hue on a black background and an upgrade to 64 kilobytes of memory. Like most buyers of the I.B.M. PC, though, I ordered it with the least expensive of the three operating systems available: PC DOS 1.1, which I.B.M. had licensed from Microsoft, a small software company in Bellevue, Wash.
The operating system sold for $40, and its heart, a tiny program called command.com, fit in five kilobytes of memory. Booting up took seconds.
The licensing deal with Microsoft (which left Microsoft free to sell its system to others) was only one fateful decision in I.B.M.'s entry into the PC marketplace. Known for its proprietary mainframes and minicomputers, I.B.M. swallowed hard and actively encouraged anybody with a good idea to build hardware or write a program that would take advantage of its PC.
At first that meant tapping into a wellspring of hacker enthusiasm. One hobbyist, Andrew Flugelman, later the first editor of PC World magazine, wrote a program called PC-Talk, used widely to connect to online services. The machine's first word processor was written by John Draper, a.k.a. Cap'n Crunch, who had achieved notoriety (and a prison term) in the 1970's building so-called ''blue boxes'' to make free phone calls.
But the hackers were quickly being swept aside. The corporate-inspired transition symbolized by the I.B.M. PC brought with it a new computing culture. It was no longer about a hobby; it was about business.
In the mid-1970's, ground zero had been the Homebrew Computer Club, an eclectic group that held its first meeting in a garage near Stanford University, showing off homemade machines and programs to one another. By 1982, the center of gravity was the Silicon Valley Computer Club, meeting in a shiny auditorium, its ranks a sea of clean-shaven, white-shirted engineers wearing pocket protectors and intent on seizing the next big entrepreneurial opportunity.
And those opportunities came quickly, as the advent of the I.B.M. PC touched off a hardware explosion.

AT&T (T -3.3%) plans to tap debt markets to help finance its investment plans: its net debt-to-EBITDA ratio is expected to rise to 1.8 from 1.42 over the next 2 years. With corporate debt yields remaining extremely low, it wouldn't be surprising if AT&T also used the proceeds to buy back stock, something it has been very fond of doing lately. Some think AT&T's buildout partly stems from its failure (unlike Verizon) to sell off rural assets. "They're doing it because they really have to do it," says analyst Jonathan Chaplin.

In SASS I can do:
!pink = #ff43a7
!darker_pink = !pink - #333333
I'd like to the same in Ruby.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Hex can be represented in Ruby by prefixing your value with
color helper
Usage in ERb template
Use the Sass module
If you already have the Sass library, you can instantiate and work with its objects.
For instance:
There must be a built-in way to turn hexadecimal strings like
The basic approach of adding/subtracting colors in Sass is nonsense and only really works when using a gray adjustment. That's why in Sass 3 we now have full support of operations in the HSL domain which maps closely to the way people think about colors.
Since Sass is written in Ruby, you can at least read our code to see what's going on.
Here's the Color class, and the functions that operate on them.
It really is non-trivial code. Why not just use Sass?
To refine @macek's answer, following @drawnownward's and @lpsquiggle's wishes:
You can make two helpers, like so:
The advantage: if you've defined a color hex with low values (between 0 and 3, here), these will be bumped up before the subtraction, so that they end up as 0 afterward, instead of wrapping around and becoming c, d, e, or f (which would give you a color you didn't expect). It only does this for the first value in each #rrggbb pair, so #313131 becomes #0d0d0d, which isn't technically correct, but it's much better than #fdfdfd, so it seems like a good enough compromise, since you'll want to keep those second values in other cases.
In your Erb template, then, you would write this:
Instead of:
Hope that helps someone.
I just came across something where I wanted to distribute colors for a set across different hues. The SASS source didn't help much because I didn't see a way to get RGB from HSV.
The color gem had what I needed.
I wrote this helper:

SAN ANTONIO -- Following Tuesday morning's first practice at the Alamodome, former Cowboys defensive end Charles Haley was giving a teaching lesson.
In the end zone, Haley, who won five Super Bowl titles, was showing some pass rush moves to the entire linebacker corps.
Haley would play tackle and have DeMarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer, Curtis Johnson, Brandon Williams all take turns rushing at him. He would correct their footwork, hand placement and where and when they should move inside or outside the tackle.
At one point, Haley made Johnson do a move twice because he hadn't gotten right.
"I think as an athlete we all have a responsibility to give back to the next generation," Haley said. "And I like to thank Jerry [Jones] and Wade [Phillips] for an opportunity to come in [Tuesday] and work with these young men. My goal is for the Cowboys to have as much success as possible and I want to see every young man reach that potential."
Ware, who wears No. 94, Haley's old jersey, is humbled by the former Cowboy's appearance the last two days at training camp. Ware remembers growing up watching Haley cause trouble for opposing offenses as a kid.
"At this game you're always learning," Ware said. "When you stop learning, that's when you need to get out. I'm listening like a little kid and doing everything he's telling me to do because it's right. He had a great career and I'm going to try and follow in his footsteps."
Since Ware stepped into the league in 2005, he's studied ways to improve his balance and forearm strength. He worked with former teammate Greg Ellis on the practice fields and in the film room, looking for subtle ways to beat tackles and tight ends and running backs that are coming after him.
"You can't ever be a perfect pass rusher," Ware said. "To have a guy come in, a legend like Charles Haley, show us a lot of the things he's learned over the years and come back and showing us some of the mistakes we're making. It's all about getting better. People say, 'DeMarcus you're the best,' no I'm not. I'm still trying to improve and be better."

Aisin Buy out
Posted in the London Forum

#21 Mar 3, 2009
If you work three months all you will be loosing will be Insurance coverage for awhile longer.It has to be your choise only you know what will be best for your situation.
#22 Mar 4, 2009
guess uve nevr misspelled anything [email protected] and i did work there but if they r shutting the DOORS dont u think they will stockpile some parts? they cant be a just in time supplier if they are CLOSED huh genius screw you
#23 Mar 5, 2009
Question, did you get fired & Aisin revoked your ability to draw unemployment. You sound very disgruntled.
Also, you do realize that the HR staff at AAC consists of no Japanese members, don't you? If they revoked your request to draw unemployment theN it wasn't the Japanese who did so....IT WAS THE AMERICANS IN THE HR DEPT.
#24 Mar 5, 2009
GENIUS...do you realize that if Aisin closes the doors that would mean that Toyota, Honda & GM would be in bankruptcy. Exactly who are they going to sell the parts that they have stock piled? I doubt they'll be having a yard sale to get rid of the excess.
Definition of "JUST IN TIME" - Produce parts for the next shift at Toyota, Honda & GM.
Apparently, this tiny fact didn't sink into your brain while you were employeed there. Hmmm guess that's why you're not there any longer.
#25 Mar 5, 2009
GM getting ready to close as we speak.
#26 Mar 17, 2009
You need to get a life! This severance package effects the people that work at Aisin. That wouldn't pertain to you Facts Taker. Work there and then you can give the facts. You can rebuttle all you want but I won't see it because I'll never be on this site again. I'm just here to find out what the offering are but I'm sure most of the people would agree your making yourself look like an ass.
#27 Mar 17, 2009
I personally would buy a HONDA or TOYOTA any day of the week over chevy!
#28 Mar 20, 2009
to bad the 25 that got permanent layoff didn't get their chance for the buy out. thanks aisin for nothing
#29 Mar 20, 2009
Who was the 25 that got permanent layoffs or are
you talking about those who were fired
#30 Mar 20, 2009
You are one of the reasons the USA is in the shape it is. Just keep thinking those thoughts and buying those cars that are "MADE IN THE UNITED STATES BY OVERSEAS COMPANIES" Where do you think the money ends up? Not in this country....You want a job in this country...better start supporting the US auto companies because if they go thats 1 out of every 10 jobs in the good ole USA they take with them.
#31 Mar 21, 2009
Well did they get layoff slips? Or did they get fired? Does anyone know
#32 Mar 21, 2009
I'm not disgruntled at all. I had to fight them to get my unemployment, and I won. I had excuses for my tardies which were incorrectly entered by the brain Simon. Got them for wrongful termination, yes I was offered a job back, and I told them to stick it. Now I'm 100% disabled so "asta la vista!"
My point was their rates go up if they have so many claims that are approved. I know I was in business myself, so they will fight it all the way if the have reason.
#33 Mar 21, 2009
Hey i know a good dependable car or truck our family ownes 2 honda's 1 toyota...
#34 Mar 22, 2009
I guess that is your choice.
#35 Mar 22, 2009
No excuse for tardies. half point. you are on time or else.
#36 Mar 22, 2009
we need more places like aisin
#37 Mar 22, 2009
Hang in there
#38 Mar 23, 2009
Jason Slusher is taking the buyout to go back to school. Yes Not Smart imposter that is my choise to I am takeing the buyout.
#39 Mar 25, 2009
no we didn't get fired but they just pulled us aside and told us due to the economy and our clock number of course, we were the ones that had to go. It was 6 on first plant-1. 7 on second plant-1. and 7 on first plant-2. and 5 on second plant-2. we got shafted if you asked me. my husband was pissed. they told us that the buyout was no longer available to us. how cold. I know 3 of the night shift plant-1 die maitnance had to go and a few kaizan team members had to go don't know the names though.

Chili-Spiced Shrimp Wonton Soup
Total Time
Prep 35 mins
Cook 4 mins
This delicious soup has a real kick of red-hot chilies, perfect to warm up a winter's day. If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the chilies before using them.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 6 ounces shrimp (cooked and peeled)
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 scallion, finely chopped (green onion)
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 small egg, separated
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 2 small red bird's eye chilies
- 2 scallions
- 4 cups clear beef stock
- 1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine
- cilantro leaf, to garnish
- Finely chop the shrimp. Put them in a bowl and stir in the garlic, scallion, soy sauce, fish sauce, cilantro and egg yolk.
- Lay the wonton wrappers on work surface in a single layer and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture into the middle of each. Brush the edges with egg white and fold each one into a triangle, pressing lightly to seal. Bring the 2 bottom corners of the triangle around to meet in the middle, securing with a little egg white to hold in place.
- Slice the chilies on a steep diagonal angle to make long slices, removing seeds if you prefer. Slice the scallions on the same angle.
- Place the stock, fish sauce, soy sauce, and rice wine in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the chilies and scallions. Drop the wontons into the pot and simmer for 4-5 minutes until thoroughly heated.
- Serve the soup and wontons in small bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves sprinkled on top just before serving.
Most Helpful
I made just the soup for some pork wontons. I made a double batch which was enough broth to cook about 30 wontons. Used half the chilies and took out most of the seeds and that was a mild-medium spiciness, good for our family. I also used pork bone broth. Worked great.
This is an excellent recipe Chili Spice. We loved this quick and easy to make soup. The broth was wonderful, flavorful and very spicy. The textures and flavors in the soup were perfect, with absolutely delicious wontons. I have put this recipe into my keeper box. Thanks for sharing this fantastic recipe which I will make often. Kudos on a really great soup.
This soup is fantastic! The broth is delicious and has a little bit of kick! I used chicken stock because that is what I had. It is very easy to put together. We just loved this.

(Feb. 3, 2010)--UTSA head football coach Larry Coker announced Wednesday his first-ever signing class, which consists of 24 prep student-athletes who signed National Letters of Intent and two sophomore transfers who already are enrolled at UTSA this semester.
>> Read more at the UTSA Athletics Web site, including the signing class list and bios.
The class is highlighted by seven all-state performers in sophomore transfer OL Brady Brown (San Antonio, Texas/O'Connor HS/Texas A&M-Kingsville), OL Robert Chapman (San Antonio, Texas/Clark HS), DL Chris Dorsey (Altair, Texas/Rice HS), QB Cole Hubble (Bandera, Texas/Bandera HS), OL Scott Inskeep (McAllen, Texas/McAllen HS), OL Nate Leonard (McKinney, Texas/McKinney HS) and LB Cody Rogers (San Antonio, Texas/Brandeis HS). Additionally, all 26 members of the class earned all-district accolades, including 11 who were selected to all-area teams during their careers, and six that are academic all-state honorees.
"We're really excited about the quality of this class," Coker said. "This is a very talented and well-rounded group that has bought into the vision of UTSA Football. They want to be the ones to help start this program and we're excited to have them on board."
The class also has a local flavor with 13 student-athletes from Greater San Antonio Area high schools: DB Crosby Adams (Roosevelt HS), RB Brandon Armstrong (Roosevelt HS), sophomore transfer OL Brady Brown (O'Connor HS/Texas A&M-Kingsville), OL Robert Chapman (Clark HS), RB David Glasco (Wagner HS), OL Cody Harris (Smithson Valley HS), WR Earon Holmes (Brackenridge HS), QB Cole Hubble (Bandera HS), RB Chris Johnson (East Central HS), sophomore transfer WR Sean Luchnick (O'Connor HS/Penn State), OL Drew Phillips (Steele HS), LB Cody Rogers (Brandeis HS) and WR Jake Wanamaker (Central Catholic HS).
"I've said this many times before, but I think San Antonio is really under recruited," Coker said. "There are some very good high school players in this area that sometimes are overlooked. We wanted to recruit San Antonio very heavily to help us build a good base of local players and then work our way out to the different areas of the state. I really think the quality of the players and coaches in this city and the state of Texas is outstanding."
Other members of the inaugural class include ATH Corey Brite (Giddings, Texas/Giddings HS), DL Richard Burge (Houston, Texas/Stratford HS), WR Nick Garza (McAllen, Texas/McAllen HS), DB Nic Johnston (Coppell, Texas/Coppell HS), QB Kam Jones (Edna, Texas/Edna HS), WR Marcellus Mack (Giddings, Texas/Giddings HS), DL Ferrington Macon (Corpus Christi, Texas/Carroll HS), TE Jade Pender (Castle Rock, Colo./Castle View HS), DB Darrien Starling (Tyler, Texas/John Tyler HS) and LB John Walker (Humble, Texas/Humble HS).
"As coaches, it has been a pleasure to recruit this class because we have met some outstanding young men and wonderful families during the process," Coker said. "The reception from the high school coaches we met was unbelievable. They were outstanding and very helpful, so we can't thank them enough."
UTSA will hold its first official practices this fall and begin play as a Football Championship Subdivision Independent (FCS/formerly Division I-AA) in 2011. The program plans to begin a reclassification period to become a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS/formerly Division I-A) Independent in 2013.

Peppers at 10, which seems low.
Star Wars
OT: Star Wars: The Force Awakens reaction thread WITH SPOILERS
A long time ago, in a thread very, very off-topic:
I just got back from seeing The Force Awakens. It was fantastic, absolutely wonderful. JJ Abrams is to Star Wars what Jim Harbaugh is to Michigan. It's entirely possible that Jim Hackett helped assemble the cast and crew for the film.
We're going to discuss the movie, with spoilers. If you haven't seen it, turn away immediately and go watch it so that you can get the full experience.
What did you think? How could George Lucas make such abominable prequels when someone is capable of making something as amazing as The Force Awakens?
May the force be with Blue.

OT - Five Thirty Eight Star Wars Data
Not Nate Silver and just some fun polling data on Star Wars stuff for those of us from a certain generation (along with guys 1 generation after) via Five Thirty Eight.
Like the writer, I was taken back by the relative low % of people who have seen 'A New Hope' (kids these days! get off my lawn!). As is generally accepted 'The Empire Strikes Back' is seen as the best movie
The favorable unfavorable ratings were fun, and not shockingly Jar Jar Binks took the bottom slot. The Washington Post jumped on this and noted Darth Vader had better favorables than any 2016 presidential candidate. Funny comment
None of the 2016 hopefuls is polling higher than Darth Vader. You'll recall that Vader chopped off his son's arm and blew up an entire planet, but evidently in the eyes of the American public these are minor sins compared to Benghazi, Bridgegate and Gov. Rick Perry's hipster glasses. These numbers suggest that if "Star Wars" were real and Darth Vader decided to enter the 2016 presidential race, he'd be the immediate front-runner.
As a Boba Fett fan I was shocked at his low rating....but still a front runner if he ran for Prez.
And last but not least there was a "Who Shot First? - Han or Greedo" question. A point of contention.
Of course Colbert also had a funny riff on this as well.

OT: UGA WR's Star Wars fan film "Retribution"
UGA Wide Receiver Chris Conley is apparently an admitted Star Wars nerd and wrote/directed a 26 minute film, complete with cameos by Mark Richt and other UGA players and students. Pretty darn sweet.

Lars von Trier, maker of calculating horror comedies, is a shrewd showman -- if not exactly in the classic Hollywood tradition then at least in the Barnum & Bailey one. He pleases his audiences by teasing, taunting and testing them, keeping his tongue in his cheek. I picture him as a dancing, grinning little prankster on the fringes of world cinema, alternately flaunting a streak of astringent sadism and hiding for safety behind a shield of facetiousness.
He's also, in "Antichrist" particularly, a thudding literalist whose mock-academic ideas and images are so over-rationalized and in-your-face that (like the mysterious cry of a baby placed too far forward in the sound mix to be haunting or ambiguous) they don't have much room to resonate. When they ought to be harrowing, they're obvious and over-explained, which cuts them off from genuine emotion or experience. Nevertheless, "Antichrist" is a serviceable, sometimes atmospheric horror movie, until the last chapter-and-a-half when it just goes flat. By then it's already gotten a little too much of a charge out of commenting on its own giddy morbidity, and whether the audience is laughing at it or with it doesn't matter. Either way, the laughter is dismissive.
Here is perhaps the finest young actor in American movies, and he says he's decided to say the hell with it, and walk away from acting, and direct films for a living. Did the gossip machine destroy Sean Penn, or is this just a phase he's going through?
Fourteen months we were trying to get someone to believe in that picture," Raymond Stross said. "We had our own money in it. All of our money. Everything except the house. And all the time people were telling us, make a Hollywood picture. Make a commercial picture. 'The Fox' will never make a dime."

Brief Synopsis
View the Executive Summary
Since World War II, a key element of America's grand strategy has been its worldwide network of strategic allies and partners. The network has provided the United States an invaluable global presence, enhanced deterrence against adversaries and, when called upon, provided men and materiel to help fight wars. However, following the end of the Cold War, less attention has been paid to America's allies, especially their "hard power" capabilities, despite the United States and its allies going to war more frequently than before. This volume addresses that gap, providing a holistic account of allied hard power and, in turn, the ability – and, indirectly, the willingness – of those same partners to use force independently or in concert with the United States and other allies.

A place for hookers and truck drivers and THAT IS IT. If you have children, do not even consider it. By far the grossest hotel experience I've ever had. In addition to it being gross, there is no security. I was never asked for ID/Credit Card at all. I lost my hotel room key twice and was given a key to whatever room I needed. No questions asked. Very creepy place.

text: Apple Is Using Liquidmetal for...Fuel Cells?Casey Chan1/05/11 5:37pmFiled to: ApplePatentsPatentLiquidmetalIphoneliquidmetalApplefuelcellsFuelCellsLiquidMetal213EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Apple has been granted its first patent related to Liquidmetal, that futuristic metal with awesome plastic qualities. But the patent says that Apple won't be using Liquidmetal in iPhone and iPad casing, but rather as an internal component for fuel cells.Why would Apple bother using Liquidmetal, a scratchproof, lightweight and superstrength material, on the inside of the phone? Because in this particular patent, it looks like Liquidmetal isn't the main attraction, fuel cells are. Miniature fuel cells can last a helluva long time (30 days without recharging on a phone) but no one has quite figured out how to effectively build 'em. And the company that does, will probably end up with the longest lasting battery on the market. Maybe Liquidmetal, which would act as some sort of housing, is part of Apple's answer.
