This is a logic conclusion only if you assume that you own the flow of data. This way we will soon be policing what other people think, because may be they are using our thoughts without paying us for that. The whole problem boils down to the fact that we humans believee that when we think somethingThe issue is not the modification of the hardware, per se, but rather the data that can then be pirated after the modification is made. Therefore, the one alternative is to limit piracy. In order to do that, strict policing of data streams is necessary.
we own that thought.This wrong perspective follows from a misunderstanding of what thoughts are. We can not own thoughts the same way that we can not own the air of the planet. However, we have already
seen many who have profitted from selling air.This point of view (of rejecting the property of thoughts) is as defendable as the point of view of accepting it. And it seems to be very close to the point in a Debian/Linux mailing list. This is
free software, GPL after all.
Absolutely not. This can be only the point of view if we see the universe as a huge shop full of merchandise. But this is far from the way other people perceive surrounding reality.So that is your choice: give up freedom to modify hardware, or submit all data moving in and out of your control to public scrutiny. Since the former is both distasteful and fundamentally impossible to enforce, the later is inevitable, IMHO.

From grade school to today a notebook is always a valuable resource. With the digital revolution occurring and the iPad creating an entirely new market, the power of a digital notebook has never been more apparent. Since the idea of a digital notebook is not new, the App Store is filled with numerous apps claiming to be the best notebook for the iPad. Some users prefer plain text with Simplenote, while others might prefer a cloud based anything bucket such as Evernote, but the need for a digital notebook is evident.
What makes a good digital notebook? I think this notebook needs to be highly customizable and easy to use. The notebook needs to have powerful features which make it easy to use in a variety of scenarios. Having these features will help an app mold to fit anyone's workflow. In fact, the workflow of two individuals could be completely different but they might use the same app just because the app is able to mold to anyone's workflow. ThinkBook is an app that could be perfect for just about anyone, let's take a look!
The act of listening to music on the iPad has long felt like a case of function-over-form, like using an appliance that you don't really notice, much less care how it looks. Since the iPad's release, the default Music app has only undergone one major design change, from humble iTunes re-skin to its current wood-paneled state. Track 8 from Ender Labs has higher aims, "borrowing" a few UI elements to make your music look every bit as good as it sounds. Read on past the break for the review of this unique and beautiful music player.
Do you obliterate the competition when it comes to word games? Think you've conquered every lexicon challenge out there? Do you stay up late at night picturing Words with Friends letter combinations in your mind? Oh, maybe that last one is just me.
If word games are your thing you'll want to check out Word Off. Read on and I'll help you determine if you're up for the challenge of going head-to-head with friends or complete strangers in this vocabulary throw down.
As you may very well know, Apple Monday unveiled their next big revision of iOS, bringing it to version 6.0. This is a sizable update with a plethora of wonderful features that amount to over 200 in all. However, interestingly enough, Apple put more emphasis on the iPhone side of things during the WWDC keynote and left out some of the major things that could be beneficial to iPad users – well yes, of course they mentioned Siri.
I've gathered a list of the most important features that are in iOS 6 and of significance to those who utilize their iPad on a daily basis. In addition, I've taken a deep look at the OS itself, seeking out interesting features and jotting down my thoughts on them. Keep reading for the full scoop.
More than games or entertainment apps, apps focused on productivity are my bread and butter. I initially shied away from the iPad due to wondering if it "had what it takes" in an environment that moved beyond simple entertainment needs. My initial perception was that an iPad was a consumption device and not one to produce anything of worth. Thankfully, within hours of owning the iPad 2, its potential as a workhorse shone right through my initial perceptions. Not everything was perfect, and I still haven't found all of my dream apps, but with the appearance of apps like MagicalPad I have become more confident that the iPad is a serious contender for use in the workplace on a day to day basis. There are even glimpses of its potential to replace laptops, and I think we'll see elements of that in this review.
Getting in shape is something a lot of people have trouble with. Not only that, but summer's just around the corner, so it's time to put down your TV remotes and pick up your iPads! Sometimes we want to exercise, but we just walk in the gym aimlessly, expecting to instantly lose weight and shape up with minimal effort. This is mainly due to lack of organisation.
In this roundup, I'm going to show you 10 great apps to help you achieve your ideal body and add some organisation into your workouts. Don't just think you can use one app and get away with it; a combination of diet, exercise and rest is the only way to get those washboard abs (or at least a lack of stomach!)
If you're a Mac OS X user and involved in the web design/development scene, you've probably heard of the indie developers Panic and, more specifically, their product Coda. Coda is an all-in-one web development enviroment that pulls together multiple tools such as visual CSS generation, file transfer and reference together with a text editor supporting a range of languages. Last month, Panic released Coda 2, a signifcantly updated version of the software.
Alongside the release of Coda 2, Panic also released Diet Coda, an accompanying $19.99 app for iPad that's already disrupting the long-term stereotype of an iPad being useless for productivity. Diet Coda combines a text editor with a powerful FTP-based file manager making editing your files stored online a pleasant and productive experience. Let's take a look…
Earlier this week 9to5Mac broke the news that it looks like Siri is coming to the iPad in iOS 6! I'll let you read their report for details, and a few mockups, but would like to ask a very simple question; are you excited about getting Siri on the iPad?
Since Siri first launched we knew that it would eventually come to the iPad, Apple wasn't going to keep it exclusive to the 4S. The real question is, after all the hype has died down, do you actually care if Siri's on the iPad?
I have to admit that I'm using Siri on the iPhone less now than I did in the past, but I'd definitely like to have it available on the iPad – if only to schedule calendar events and to show off to my friends…
Let me know you you think, and perhaps tell me in the comments what you think you'd use Siri on the iPad for most!
Beginning with the well received Shogun: Total War, the Total War games franchise has grown over the past twelve years to become one of the most popular turn-based strategy games on the scene, spawning such classics as Rome Total War and breathing new life into the genre due to its combination of typical turn-based game elements with real-time battle scenes and a gripping, often historically accurate narrative.
Little wonder then that Total War fans have been salivating to get their hands on Total War Battles: Shogun, a version of Total War designed specifically for iPad. As with all such complex titles however, concerns remain as to whether the game is well suited to the iPad's unique form. Let's see if SEGA have nailed it.
GarageBand for iPad is an amazing app for anyone with a stake in music at all. If you've never tried any sort of composition tool, GarageBand is the way to go. With its set of 'smart' instruments, it's unparalleled in terms of ease of use. It has a drum kit/pads, a piano, guitar and an option to amplify your guitar when plugged in with something like iRig.
In this tutorial, I'm going to run through all the steps you'll need to start using GarageBand as an extra instrument for your musical piece or as a way to compose music solely by itself.

Walnut Creek, Calif. Finally, it seems as though spring is here. Meaning it's time to start getting prepared for the outdoors.
But since unexpected things happen, however, the best way to help guarantee a good time for all is to plan ahead for any favorite activities.
Whether it's hiking, biking, rafting, canoeing or any type of activity that requires physical exertion, take stock of your health.
If you have any medical conditions, discuss your plans with your health care provider and get approval before departing.
And if you've been a couch potato during the winter, it's not a bad idea to start a training program before you embark on your outdoor adventures.
Get your hips and shoulders used to a heavy backpack by carrying a backpack whenever you see the opportunity to do so. Steadily increase the backpack load and the duration you are carrying it. If you have rough terrain nearby, use it to train yourself on steep inclines and rough surfaces.
Jogging and running are good ways to work on your overall fitness while at the same time preparing your legs and feet for the rough times ahead. If possible, run on steep inclines, which will increase the intensity of your workout and will prepare your feet, ankles and knees for the differences in uphill, downhill and even surfaces. Now you're feeling strong and ready to tackle whatever nature throws your way.
Now it's time to review the equipment, supplies and skills that you'll need. Consider what emergencies could arise and how you would deal with those situations. There are plenty of situations to be wary of in the outdoors, such as a member of your party getting lost, confronting an animal, a member of the party getting ill, or injured, or unexpected change in weather.
Make sure you have the skills you need for your camping or hiking adventure. Take time to learn how to read a compass, erect a temporary shelter or give first aid. Practice your skills in advance.
It's safest to hike or camp with at least one companion. If you'll be entering a remote area, your group should have a minimum of four people; this way, if one is hurt, another can stay with the victim while two go for help. If you'll be going into an area that is unfamiliar to you, take along someone who knows the area or at least speak with those who do before you set out.
Pack emergency signaling devices, and know ahead of time the location of the nearest telephone or ranger station in case an emergency does occur on your trip.
Leave a copy of your itinerary with a responsible person.
Bring candle and matches, cell phone, clothing (always bring something warm, extra socks and rain gear), compass, first aid kit, flashlight, hat, insect repellent, map of the area, pocket knife, pocket mirror, space blanket or a piece of plastic (to use for warmth or shelter), sunscreen, water, waterproof matches or matches in a waterproof tin, water purification tablets, and a whistle (to scare off animals or to use as a signaling device).

The British government on accepted the month-old recommendations of the Migration Advisory Committee to provide better access to jobs for local workers before allowing non-European workers to tap work opportunities.
This comes just two days after it promised, with other industrialised nations at the G-20 finance ministers' meet, to go easy on protectionist policies.
The Home Office, in a statement said the government has accepted the MAC recommendations to tighten the rules controlling migrant skilled workers taking jobs in the UK under the government's points system. Job openings in the UK will be advertised for four weeks for local workers, before considering a non-European worker for the same position.
"This will mean that from next year, all jobs must be advertised to British workers in Jobcentre Plus for four weeks, extended from two weeks, before companies can seek to employ individuals from outside Europe. This will ensure that British workers are not only first in line for jobs but also now have more time in which to apply," the Home Office communication said.
The government will also extend the qualifying period for all those overseas workers who want to transfer to work at the UK base of their company: they must have worked for their company for at least a year prior to the move, rather than the present six months.
The minimum annual salary that will allow an individual to qualify as a skilled worker and be eligible to work in the UK will also rise from pound 17,000 to pound 20,000.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said: "The introduction of the points-based system has radically improved our ability to respond quickly to changing economic circumstances. We have now accepted all of the Migration Advisory Committee's recommendations and we will continue to work with them to make sure that we use the flexibility in the points-based system to the best advantage of society and the economy. These changes will ensure that businesses can recruit the skilled foreign workers the economy needs, but not at the expense of British workers, nor as a cheaper alternative to investing in the skills of the existing workforce."
A total of 16 recommendations were put forward by the MAC, all of which will now be put in place to ensure the points-based system does more to support UK workers, while continuing to facilitate the levels of trade, travel, and study that benefits the UK.
This new policy that favours local workers comes in the wake of rising unemployment that has now reached a record high level of 2.5 million. Further, a general election is due by the middle of next year, with the ruling Labour government expected to fight hard to stay in power.
India, along with other Bric economies - Brazil, Russia and China - have not spared any opportunity, including the G-20 platform, to remind the US and the UK that it expects the developed countries to go easy on protectionist trade policies and provide higher quota and voting powers in the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. G-20 countries had agreed to this view in its communique issued on Saturday.

And taking pictures of other drivers while going 60+ ISN'T distracting from driving???
You TWITS! Facebook exec erects billboards shaming texting drivers
A Facebook exec is so sick of drivers texting behind the wheel that he now photographs them and puts the images on billboards to shame them. "I've been blown away by the number of people texting while in traffic, on the freeway," Brian Singer, manager of communication design at Facebook, told Gizmodo. "For every nose picker, …
He said they were taken as a passenger.
Why the hate?
Re: RTFA
"He said they were taken as a passenger."
Maybe they were, but he's encouraging others to submit their own TWAT pictures. If he doesn't realise that this will be seen by some as encouragement to take photographs while driving then he's an idiot.
Re: RTFA
The people that dumb are almost certainly the people already texting while driving anyway.
Every modern phone has a GPS unit. Have the screen turn off at anything over 10MPH and only send / accept phone calls if there is a hands free device attached.
As for a $20 fine, that's just silly. $2000 might save a life.
So I won't be able to send a text as a passenger in a car, or as a passenger on the train/bus?
10 mph is fine for trains/buses round here.
Its the tortoises I can't stand, especially when they follow me round.
Handsfree is no better than hand held.
So you turn off the GPS
People who want to text in motion will find a way around a lamebrained technological limitation. Well, unless you're advocating making it illegal to be able to turn off your phone's GPS.
Damn, I'd delete that so the NSA wouldn't see it and get a great idea on how to track us even better, but they probably saw the moment I typed it so I might as well post it.
Re: So you turn off the GPS
You do realize that I keep my GPS turned off 99.99% of the time, and even then, only the nav app (not Google) and the constellation checker gets access to it, right?
You must be a politician to suggest such a brilliant idea.
Re: So you turn off the GPS
only the nav app (not Google) and the constellation checker gets access to it,
At least you hope so. In practice you have no way of guaranteeing that.
He is just annoyed that they are texting ...
and not updating their facebook page.
Re: He is just annoyed that they are texting ...
If I had a Farcebook page I could certainly update it with my phone whether driving or sitting on a bus/train. The action looks the same, the real problem is people using their devices to the point of distraction when driving, it doesn't matter if they are twits or farcebookers.
One of my friends uses the GPS on his phone a great deal to get around Madrid, the voice command function often doesn't work too well, so he is in heavy traffic, lost and typing a destination into his phone, something that almost every Madrid taxi driver does too.
All cabbies should do 'The Knowledge' for their locale just like London cabbies.
As for the rest of us we could try reading a map before we begin our drive.
Re: He is just annoyed that they are texting ...
We all know that the pictures could equally depict people web browsing, playing games or indeed browsing/updating facebbok. However this twat thinks that he can con us into believing that these drivers are all texting simply because he doesn't want to be seen to be saying that facebook is bad in any way.
The point is that all phone use (including hands free) whole driving is potentially dangerous. Some idiots don't use their phones until they are driving. I saw a woman in the car park at work today walk to he car, get in, start the engine, fasten her belt, then get he phone out, dial and then drive off with the phone pressed to her ear. Why could she not make the call on the walk to the car? Why could she not make the call before she set off? Because for some people using a phone has become part of driving.
Something else have seen a lot of drivers doing is actually using their phone as a hand held satnav while driving. That's just plain weird, but I suspect some of the people in those pictures might be doing just that.
Re: He is just annoyed that they are texting ...
"As for the rest of us we could try reading a map before we begin our drive."
Or put your destination in the sat-nav BEFORE setting off, by the same token.
Finally, a facebook exec doing something useful for society!
I don't think I've ever heard of someone getting a ticket for texting/talking on the phone. At least certainly not here in Florida, where it's just as illegal as California. I've seen cops completely ignore someone texting away next to them.
Mixed signals...
Looking at the TWIT's page, while the twat Singer claims that everything was taken on the freeway, it's also clear that at least some of his "gotchas!" are of people in stop-and-go traffic. If you are mostly stationary, only a self-absorbed loon (although for a "facebook exec" that's probably redundant) would equate the risks of texting with the risks if you happen to be doing 60.
Plus, of course, most of his pics seem to be of people looking at a screen. Could be reading a text, could be reading a map, could be choosing a playlist, could be trying to decide whether to answer that call on speakerphone, could be reading facebook updates.
Re: Mixed signals...
I think the point is that if you are driving a car you are supposed to be watching the frigging road . . .
Re: Mixed signals...
You shouldn't be doing ANYTHING that distracts you when supposedly in control of a car etc...
I often get pissed at people f*cking around with their phones in "stop and go" traffic or at traffic lights that fail completely to notice the "go" part !!!
Re: Mixed signals...
This point kinda bothered me, too. If these are taken in rush hour on the 405 in LA (I'm told)... they weren't moving anyway.
Re: Mixed signals...
The law here in Nevada says that you can't have your mobile phone in your hand while driving.
I agree with an above post that the fine should be a lot more than $20. If it were up to me, it would be $1000 for a first offense, and no license for a year on the second one. I commute about two hours each day, and I'm f***ing tired of dodging all of the idiots doing something on their mobile phones.
The traffic on 880 is always backed up. Even more so in commute times. Of course you could try the approach to the bay bridge in the morning, it is ALWAYS backed up.
Me? I use Foothill Expressway, but the light at El Monte has a short cycle, and I have to wait twice! Bummer!
The coat is on the back of my chair!
How can the folks submitting these pictures be so sure the people they saw were actually texting? They could have been making an emergency call (say reporting a reckless driver on the road) or using the phone as a GPS, which according to a recent ruling is not illegal in California.
One more step
Is he collecting statistical data on the vehicles? It may be worth noting which cars are less likely to have texting drivers and whether those cars have bluetooth as standard. Just curious because my wife occasionally uses the bluetooth connection in the car to dictate texts and notes and it does a reasonable job speachifying (it's really not speaking) incoming texts although many are in Chinese and it can make some rather funny mispronunciations.
Re: Piloting a ton of metal...
Do you mean motorcycles, because I'm sure you have to look pretty hard to find a merkin car that only weighs a ton.
21st Century Investments
In today's financial news: Brian Singer, most famous for his 'Don't Text and Drive' public awareness campaign, today announced he has been the sole source of funding for a small San Jose software company. The company is focused on creating software for automobile and mobile phone manufacturers that recognize when a driver is attempting to text with the car in motion. Public testing is scheduled to begin this summer with an IPO target of Q4 2014.
In a related story: Brian Singer, most famous for his 'Don't Text and Drive' public awareness campaign, today announced he is being investigated by the SEC, IRS and FBI for a variety of criminal activities. Under investigation are allegations including Singer's use of Facebook and Facebook assets to promote a non-profit organization with the intent to profit from those promotions and of structuring financial transactions to obfuscate the amount, source and destination of funds used in those transactions. Tax evasion, wire fraud, conspiring to commit interstate fraud and providing false information to authorities.
According to the NSA observation team assigned to Facebook Singer may come out of this with minimal damage as Singer responded favorably to allowing the NSA to embed anti-terror in the software produced by one of his investment vehicles. If found guilty on all charges Singer faces up to 11 years in prison on financially related crimes and 453 years for failure to allow the NSA to install their software. It is expected he will comply.

I think babies & toddlers should be banned from cars. They are a massive distraction.
I speak as someone who once had a motorbike write-off because a mother was disrtacted by her wailing child behind her as she pulled into the main road in front of me.
Some people don't need a phone to be a liability on 4 wheels....
Appropriate punishment
A couple months ago while riding the bus home we were queued up to get onto the freeway.
Driver next to us was busily texting/emailing/fondling his phone.
I was looking a different direction when the crashing sound got everyone attention.
Mr Distracted's brand new Tesla had gotten too friendly with the high-end BMW in front of it.
I'm guessing the repairs cost way more than ticket would have and hoped he had a high deductible.
Replace the airbags with spikes :) This should instantly result in improved driving standards.
Add two zeroes to those California fines and then you're in the ballpark for something that will help cut back on the manslaughter-waiting-to-happen situations.

A patient of mine with severe hand dermatitis has an identity problem. She applied for a job that she is well qualified to get, except she doesn't have any fingerprints. Her job requires a security clearance, and she has to have fingerprints to verify her identity (and to verify that she isn't wanted in Montana). But her severe hand dermatitis has left her fingertips scarred, and she is unable to give adequate fingerprints.
Why do we have fingerprints in the first place? The ridges are unique and allow you to be distinguished from billions of other people. Although wonderful for the FBI, your fingerprints were never meant to assist in identifying you.
It has been traditionally thought that the tiny ridges increase the coefficient of friction of the skin making it easier to grasp and hold things. A smooth surface makes handling delicate objects like a dime, difficult, especially if your hands are wet.
New research suggests that the grooves have another, possibly more important function: they improve your sense of touch. Fingertips are exquisitely sensitive to touch. This is partly due to a special nerve called the Pacinian corpuscle. The tips of your fingers are packed with these sensitive receptors. One sensation that they are particularly attuned to is vibration. It turns out that the ridges on your fingertips when rubbed against an object create a fine vibration that is not noticeable to you, but is detected by your Pacinian corpuscles.
Loss of fingerprints is uncommon. It can happen from trauma, as from a burn, or from chronic skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, or scleroderma. There are also rare genetic conditions such as dyskeratosis congenital, an inherited condition that leads to scaly skin and increased risk of skin cancers, where patients are born without fingerprints.
Excess inflammation, as from dermatitis or psoriasis, can sometimes lead to temporary changes in the fingerprints. These changes can be resolved with topical steroids or other systemic medications to treat the underlying condition. Once the fingerprint is scarred, however, there is no way to regenerate it.

Its been three months since i began practicing Astral projection.
I haven't yet succeeded in it completely.
However, i have had some weird experiences with this, i thought it might help to share them.
One morning, i was just laying in my bed, i was still really drowsy, just woken up. I decided to close my eyes for a while and relax listening to some relaxing instrumental music.
It was all nice, warm and cozy. Then the weird thing happened.
At one point i felt myself falling asleep or going into some similar state of mind.
The weird in this was that i knew i wasn't asleep and it was morning and i was laying there in my own room on bed, i could feel the sheet over me. I could still move around but i couldn't see anything.
Everything felt very fluffy and it felt like i was slipping away, i was afraid i might lose my consciousness if i let the slipping away happen. Then i heard some angry voice saying something, like it was an order for me to do something. it was a male voice.
At this point a wave of terror stroke my stomach and i thought how to get rid of this and fast!
Well, after a brief while of thinking i decided to try and grab a hold of my pillow and think of my body and ponder about waking up.
It worked. I woke up. My eyes opened like i had walked through a door to my safe room again.
Probably an Astral projection on some level?

The Science of Right has for its object the principles of all the laws which it is possible to promulgate by external legislation. Where there is such a legislation, it becomes, in actual application to it, a system of positive right and law; and he who is versed in the knowledge of this system is called a jurist or jurisconsult (jurisconsultus). A practical jurisconsult (jurisperitus), or a professional lawyer, is one who is skilled in the knowledge of positive external laws, and who can apply them to cases that may occur in experience. Such practical knowledge of positive right, and law, may be regarded as belonging to jurisprudence (jurisprudentia) in the original sense of the term. But the theoretical knowledge of right and law in principle, as distinguished from positive laws and empirical cases, belongs to the pure science of right (jurisscientia). The science of right thus designates the philosophical and systematic knowledge of the principles of natural right. And it is from this science that the immutable principles of all positive legislation must be derived by practical jurists and lawgivers.
This question may be said to be about as embarrassing to the jurist as the well-known question, "What is truth?" is to the logician. It is all the more so, if, on reflection, he strives to avoid tautology in his reply and recognise the fact that a reference to what holds true merely of the laws of some one country at a particular time is not a solution of the general problem thus proposed. It is quite easy to state what may be right in particular cases (quid sit juris), as being what the laws of a certain place and of a certain time say or may have said; but it is much more difficult to determine whether what they have enacted is right in itself, and to lay down a universal criterion by which right and wrong in general, and what is just and unjust, may be recognised. All this may remain entirely hidden even from the practical jurist until he abandon his empirical principles for a time and search in the pure reason for the sources of such judgements, in order to lay a real foundation for actual positive legislation. In this search, his empirical laws may, indeed, furnish him with excellent guidance; but a merely empirical system that is void of rational principles is, like the wooden head in the fable of Phaedrus, fine enough in appearance, but unfortunately it wants brain.
1. The conception of right — as referring to a corresponding obligation which is the moral aspect of it — in the first place, has regard only to the external and practical relation of one person to another, in so far as they can have influence upon each other, immediately or mediately, by their actions as facts. 2. In the second place, the conception of right does not indicate the relation of the action of an individual to the wish or the mere desire of another, as in acts of benevolence or of unkindness, but only the relation of his free action to the freedom of action of the other. 3. And, in the third place, in this reciprocal relation of voluntary actions, the conception of right does not take into consideration the matter of the act of will in so far as the end which any one may have in view in willing it is concerned. In other words, it is not asked in a question of right whether any one on buying goods for his own business realizes a profit by the transaction or not; but only the form of the transaction is taken into account, in considering the relation of the mutual acts of will. Acts of will or voluntary choice are thus regarded only in so far as they are free, and as to whether the action of one can harmonize with the freedom of another, according to a universal law.
Right, therefore, comprehends the whole of the conditions under which the voluntary actions of any one person can be harmonized in reality with the voluntary actions of every other person, according to a universal law of freedom.
"Every action is right which in itself, or in the maxim on which it proceeds, is such that it can coexist along with the freedom of the will of each and all in action, according to a universal law."
If, then, my action or my condition generally can coexist with the freedom of every other, according to a universal law, any one does me a wrong who hinders me in the performance of this action, or in the maintenance of this condition. For such a hindrance or obstruction cannot coexist with freedom according to universal laws.
It follows also that it cannot be demanded as a matter of right, that this universal principle of all maxims shall itself be adopted as my maxim, that is, that I shall make it the maxim of my actions. For any one may be free, although his freedom is entirely indifferent to me, or even if I wished in my heart to infringe it, so long as I do not actually violate that freedom by my external action. Ethics, however, as distinguished from jurisprudence, imposes upon me the obligation to make the fulfillment of right a maxim of my conduct.
The universal law of right may then be expressed thus: "Act externally in such a manner that the free exercise of thy will may be able to coexist with the freedom of all others, according to a universal law." This is undoubtedly a law which imposes obligation upon me; but it does not at all imply and still less command that I ought, merely on account of this obligation, to limit my freedom to these very conditions. Reason in this connection says only that it is restricted thus far by its idea, and may be likewise thus limited in fact by others; and it lays this down as a postulate which is not capable of further proof. As the object in view is not to teach virtue, but to explain what right is, thus far the law of right, as thus laid down, may not and should not be represented as a motive-principle of action.
The resistance which is opposed to any hindrance of an effect is in reality a furtherance of this effect and is in accordance with its accomplishment. Now, everything that is wrong is a hindrance of freedom, according to universal laws; and compulsion or constraint of any kind is a hindrance or resistance made to freedom. Consequently, if a certain exercise of freedom is itself a hindrance of the freedom that is according to universal laws, it is wrong; and the compulsion of constraint which is opposed to it is right, as being a hindering of a hindrance of freedom, and as being in accord with the freedom which exists in accordance with universal laws. Hence, according to the logical principle of contradiction, all right is accompanied with an implied title or warrant to bring compulsion to bear on any one who may violate it in fact.
This proposition means the right is not to be regarded as composed of two different elements — obligation according to a law, and a title on the part of one who has bound another by his own free choice to compel him to perform. But it imports that the conception of right may be viewed as consisting immediately in the possibility of a universal reciprocal compulsion, in harmony with the freedom of all. As right in general has for its object only what is external in actions, strict right, as that with which nothing ethical is intermingled, requires no other motives of action than those that are merely external; for it is then pure right and is unmixed with any prescriptions of virtue. A strict right, then, in the exact sense of the term, is that which alone can be called wholly external. Now such right is founded, no doubt, upon the consciousness of the obligation of every individual according to the law; but if it is to be pure as such, it neither may nor should refer to this consciousness as a motive by which to determine the free act of the will. For this purpose, however, it founds upon the principle of the possibility of an external compulsion, such as may coexist with the freedom of every one according to universal laws. Accordingly, then, where it is said that a creditor has a right to demand from a debtor the payment of his debt, this does not mean merely that he can bring him to feel in his mind that reason obliges him to do this; but it means that he can apply an external compulsion to force any such one so to pay, and that this compulsion is quite consistent with the freedom of all, including the parties in question, according to a universal law. Right and the title to compel, thus indicate the same thing.
The law of right, as thus enunciated, is represented as a reciprocal compulsion necessarily in accordance with the freedom of every one, under the principle of a universal freedom. It is thus, as it were, a representative construction of the conception of right, by exhibiting it in a pure intuitive perception a priori, after the analogy of the possibility of the free motions of bodies under the physical law of the equality of action and reaction. Now, as in pure mathematics, we cannot deduce the properties of its objects immediately from a mere abstract conception, but can only discover them by figurative construction or representation of its conceptions; so it is in like manner with the principle of right. It is not so much the mere formal conception of right, but rather that of a universal and equal reciprocal compulsion as harmonizing with it, and reduced under general laws, that makes representation of that conception possible. But just as those conceptions presented in dynamics are founded upon a merely formal representation of pure mathematics as presented in geometry, reason has taken care also to provide the understanding as far as possible with intuitive presentations a priori in behoof of a construction of the conception of right. The right in geometrical lines (rectum) is opposed, as the straight, to that which is curved and to that which is oblique. In the first opposition, there is involved an inner quality of the lines of such a nature that there is only one straight or right line possible between two given points. In the second case, again, the positions of two intersecting or meeting lines are of such a nature that there can likewise be only one line called the perpendicular, which is not more inclined to the one side than the other, and it divides space on either side into two equal parts. After the manner of this analogy, the science of right aims at determining what every one shall have as his own with mathematical exactness; but this is not to be expected in the ethical science of virtue, as it cannot but allow a certain latitude for exceptions. But, without passing into the sphere of ethics, there are two cases — known as the equivocal right of equity and necessity — which claim a juridical decision, yet for which no one can be found to give such a decision, and which, as regards their relation to rights, belong, as it were, to the "Intermundia" of Epicurus. These we must at the outset take apart from the special exposition of the science of right, to which we are now about to advance; and we may consider them now by way of supplement to these introductory explanations, in order that their uncertain conditions may not exert a disturbing influence on the fixed principles of the proper doctrine of right.
With every right, in the strict acceptation (jus strictum), there is conjoined a right to compel. But it is possible to think of other rights of a wider kind (jus latum) in which the title to compel cannot be determined by any law. Now there are two real or supposed rights of this kind — equity and the right of necessity. The first alleges a right that is without compulsion; the second adopts a compulsion that is without right. This equivocalness, however, can be easily shown to rest on the peculiar fact that there are cases of doubtful right, for the decision of which no judge can be appointed.
Equity (aequitas), regarded objectively, does not properly constitute a claim upon the moral duty of benevolence or beneficence on the part of others; but whoever insists upon anything on the ground of equity, founds upon his right to the same. In this case, however, the conditions are awanting that are requisite for the function of a judge in order that he might determine what or what kind of satisfaction can be done to this claim. When one of the partners of a mercantile company, formed under the condition of equal profits, has, however, done more than the other members, and in consequence has also lost more, it is in accordance with equity that he should demand from the company more than merely an equal share of advantage with the rest. But, in relation to strict right — if we think of a judge considering his case — he can furnish no definite data to establish how much more belongs to him by the contract; and in case of an action at law, such a demand would be rejected. A domestic servant, again, who might be paid his wages due to the end of his year of service in a coinage that became depreciated within that period, so that it would not be of the same value to him as it was when he entered on his engagement, cannot claim by right to be kept from loss on account of the unequal value of the money if he receives the due amount of it. He can only make an appeal on the ground of equity — a dumb goddess who cannot claim a bearing of right — because there was nothing bearing on this point in the contract of service, and a judge cannot give a decree on the basis of vague or indefinite conditions.
Hence it follows, that a court of equity, for the decision of disputed questions of right, would involve a contradiction. It is only where his own proper rights are concerned, and in matters in which he can decide, that a judge may or ought to give a hearing to equity. Thus, if the Crown is supplicated to give an indemnity to certain persons for loss or injury sustained in its service, it may undertake the burden of doing so, although, according to strict right, the claim might be rejected on the ground of the pretext that the parties in question undertook the performance of the service occasioning the loss, at their own risk.
The dictum of equity may be put thus: "The strictest right is the greatest wrong" (summum jus summa injuria). But this evil cannot be obviated by the forms of right, although it relates to a matter of right; for the grievance that it gives rise to can only be put before a "court of conscience" (forum poli), whereas every question of right must be taken before a civil court (forum soli).
The so-called right of necessity (jus necessitatis) is the supposed right or title, in case of the danger of losing my own life, to take away the life of another who has, in fact, done me no harm. It is evident that, viewed as a doctrine of right, this must involve a contradiction, For this is not the case of a wrongful aggressor making an unjust assault upon my life, and whom I anticipate by depriving him of his own (jus inculpatae tutelae); nor consequently is it a question merely of the recommendation of moderation which belongs to ethics as the doctrine of virtue, and not to jurisprudence as the doctrine of right. It is a question of the allowableness of using violence against one who has used none against me.
It is clear that the assertion of such a right is not to be understood objectively as being in accordance with what a law would prescribe, but merely subjectively, as proceeding on the assumption of how a sentence would be pronounced by a court in the case. There can, in fact, be no criminal law assigning the penalty of death to a man who, when shipwrecked and struggling in extreme danger for his life, and in order to save it, may thrust another from a plank on which he had saved himself. For the punishment threatened by the law could not possibly have greater power than the fear of the loss of life in the case in question. Such a penal law would thus fail altogether to exercise its intended effect; for the threat of an evil which is still uncertain — such as death by a judicial sentence could not overcome the fear of an evil which is certain, as drowning is in such circumstances. An act of violent self-preservation, then, ought not to be considered as altogether beyond condemnation (inculpabile); it is only to be adjudged as exempt from punishment (impunibile). Yet this subjective condition of impunity, by a strange confusion of ideas, has been regarded by jurists as equivalent to objective lawfulness.
The dictum of the right of necessity is put in these terms: "Necessity has no law" (Necessitas non habet legem). And yet there cannot be a necessity that could make what is wrong lawful.
It is apparent, then, that in judgements relating both to "equity" and "the right of necessity," the equivocations involved arise from an interchange of the objective and subjective grounds that enter into the application of the principles of right, when viewed respectively by reason or by a judicial tribunal. What one may have good grounds for recognising as right, in itself, may not find confirmation in a court of justice; and what he must consider to be wrong, in itself, may obtain recognition in such a court. And the reason of this is that the conception of right is not taken in the two cases in one and the same sense.
In this division we may very conveniently follow Ulpian, if his three formulae are taken in a general sense, which may not have been quite clearly in his mind, but which they are capable of being developed into or of receiving. They are the following:
1. Honeste vive. "Live rightly." juridical rectitude, or honour (honestas juridica), consists in maintaining one's own worth as a man in relation to others. This duty may be rendered by the proposition: "Do not make thyself a mere means for the use of others, but be to them likewise an end." This duty will be explained in the next formula as an obligation arising out of the right of humanity in our own person (lex justi).
2. Neminem laede. "Do wrong to no one." This formula may be rendered so as to mean: "Do no wrong to any one, even if thou shouldst be under the necessity, in observing this duty, to cease from all connection with others and to avoid all society" (lex juridica).
3. Suum cuique tribue. "Assign to every one what is his own." This may be rendered, "Enter, if wrong cannot be avoided, into a society with others in which every one may have secured to him what is his own." If this formula were to be simply translated, "Give every one his own," it would express an absurdity, for we cannot give any one what he already has. If it is to have a definite meaning, it must therefore run thus: "Enter into a state in which every one can have what is his own secured against the action of every other" (lex justitiae).
These three classical formulae, at the same time, represent principles which suggest a division of the system of juridical duties into internal duties, external duties, and those connecting duties which contain the latter as deduced from the principle of the former by subsumption.
I. Natural Right and Positive Right. The system of rights, viewed as a scientific system of doctrines, is divided into natural right and positive right. Natural right rests upon pure rational principles a priori; positive or statutory right is what proceeds from the will of a legislator.
II. Innate Right and Acquired Right. The system of rights may again be regarded in reference to the implied powers of dealing morally with others as bound by obligations, that is, as furnishing a legal title of action in relation to them. Thus viewed, the system is divided into innate right and acquired right. Innate right is that right which belongs to every one by nature, independent of all juridical acts of experience. Acquired right is that right which is founded upon such juridical acts.
Innate right may also be called the "internal mine and thine" (meum vel tuum internum) for external right must always be acquired.
There is only one Innate Right, the Birthright of Freedom.
Freedom is independence of the compulsory will of another; and in so far as it can coexist with the freedom of all according to a universal law, it is the one sole original, inborn right belonging to every man in virtue of his humanity. There is, indeed, an innate equality belonging to every man which consists in his right to be independent of being bound by others to anything more than that to which he may also reciprocally bind them. It is, consequently, the inborn quality of every man in virtue of which he ought to be his own master by right (sui juris). There is, also, the natural quality of justness attributable to a man as naturally of unimpeachable right (justi), because he has done no wrong to any one prior to his own juridical actions. And, further, there is also the innate right of common action on the part of every man, so that he may do towards others what does not infringe their rights or take away anything that is theirs unless they are willing to appropriate it; such merely to communicate thought, to narrate anything, or to promise something whether truly and honestly, or untruly and dishonestly (veriloquim aut falsiloquim), for it rests entirely upon these others whether they will believe or trust in it or not.1 But all these rights or titles are already included in the principle of innate freedom, and are not really distinguished from it, even as dividing members under a higher species of right.
1It is customary to designate every untruth that is spoken intentionally as such, although it may be in a frivolous manner a lie, or falsehood (mendacium), because it may do harm, at least in so far as any one who repeats it in good faith may be made a laughing-stock of to others on account of his easy credulity. But in the juridical sense, only that untruth is called a lie which immediately infringes the right of another, such as a false allegation of a contract having been concluded, when the allegation is put forward in order to deprive some one of what is his (falsiloquim dolosum). This distinction of conceptions so closely allied is not without foundation; because on the occasion of a simple statement of one's thoughts, it is always free for another to take them as he may; and yet the resulting repute, that such a one is a man whose word cannot be trusted, comes so close to the opprobrium of directly calling him a liar, that the boundary-line separating what, in such a case, belongs to jurisprudence, and what is special to ethics, can hardly be otherwise drawn.
The reason why such a division into separate rights has been introduced into the system of natural right, viewed as including all that is innate, was not without a purpose. Its object was to enable proof to be more readily put forward in case of any controversy arising about an acquired right, and questions emerging either with reference to a fact that might be in doubt, or, if that were established, in reference to a right under dispute. For the party repudiating an obligation, and on whom the burden of proof (onus probandi) might be incumbent, could thus methodically refer to his innate right of freedom as specified under various relations in detail, and could therefore found upon them equally as different titles of right.
In the relation of innate right, and consequently of the internal mine and thine, there is therefore not rights, but only one right. And, accordingly, this highest division of rights into innate and acquired, which evidently consists of two members extremely unequal in their contents is properly placed in the introduction; and the subdivisions of the science of right may be referred in detail to the external mine and thine.
The highest division of the system of natural right should not be — as it is frequently put — into "natural right" and "social right," but into natural right and civil right. The first constitutes private right; the second, public right. For it is not the "social state" but the "civil state" that is opposed to the "state of nature"; for in the "state of nature" there may well be society of some kind, but there is no "civil" society, as an institution securing the mine and thine by public laws. It is thus that right, viewed under reference to the state of nature, is specially called private right. The whole of the principles of right will therefore fall to be expounded under the two subdivisions of private right and public right.

Monday morning musings…
Good morning readers.├é┬Ā
It's sunny and chilly again here in Va. Beach. I'm not ready for the heat so chilly is good. It def. makes for better sleeping weather.
When I get some time I am planning├é┬Āon going back through all the old posts and culling out all the various useful links I have presented and putting them on their own page in an easily searchable table.
A site of note this morning… Hugh Sparks has written a really nice little beginner tutorial on printing and binding your own small book. From the site: I like to make small hardbound books I can carry around so I'm always ready to entertain myself when I get stuck in meetings or family holidays. The following photo essay is only an overview of the process. I am by no means a teacher of bookbinding. This record exists mainly so I can remember how to do it next time
Hugh's fun sense of humor and chatty writing style make the tutorial an entertaining read. His tutorial walks the reader through how to print, trim and coallate the text for your book as well as all the steps for binding. Of course blank pages could be substituted for the printed pages.
What I like about this tutorial is that there are lots of photos to go along with the descriptions and that he shows you how to use everyday items to get the job done without├é┬Āthe need├é┬Āto buy any expensive equipment. He also shows a neat little trimming trick for your book block by├é┬Āimprovising a plough out of a woodworking clamp├é┬Āand a sharpened chisel for the cutter.
Each step is written clearly which makes this an easy tutorial to follow.
I give this├é┬Ātutorial├é┬Ā.
I hope everyone has a great day.

SOUTHEND United jumped above Rotherham United in League Two this afternoon, beating Millers 4-0 at Don Valley.
Three goals in 17 minutes in the second half won the match for the Shrimpers after they had taken an early lead in the first 10 minutes of the game.
An impressive brace from Michael Timlin, which saw him score the best goal of the game with a powerful 18-yard half volley, and goals from Peter Gilbert and Neil Harris secured the win.
Rotherham never looked like scoring during the match where they showed very little creativity and made very few chances, looking distinctly average in all positions across the pitch.
The home team were booed off at the final whistle as their fans showed their disappointment in the performance. The defeat means that Rotherham have now failed to win any of their last three matches, losing one and drawing two.
The match was the 13th meeting between the two teams. In previous encounters Rotherham had come out on top in five of the matches with Southend winning three.
They last met in January this year where Southend came out 2-1 winners at Roots Hall.
The visitors started the game the stronger despite missing the midfield pairing of Ryan Hall and Antony Grant after they both picked up their fifth yellow cards of the season, leaving them suspended for the match.
The Shrimpers were half a yard faster than Andy Scott's Rotherham, collecting all the rebounds and chasing down any loose balls, forcing several early corners.
Their early dominance paid off after 10 minutes when Peter Gilbert followed up his own corner after Rotherham failed to clear their lines.
The Millers' defence were caught napping when Gilbert took a short corner to Michael Timlin, who found enough space in the penalty area to flat a ball to the back post, which was headed back to the edge of the penalty area.
Gilbert picked up the ball 18 yards out and hit the ball along the floor through a crowded penalty and found the back of the net to the left of an unsighted Logan in goal.
Timlin should have doubled the lead for the Shrimpers a few minutes later when some neat passing play left him in space in the Millers' penalty area. However he couldn't beat Logan who saved low to his left putting the ball out for a throw in.
Rotherham captain Alex Revell had the home side's best chance of the first 45 minutes when his curling right-footed shot just went wide of Glenn Morris' left hand post.
Southend did double their lead two minutes into the second half after a long throw in went across the Rotherham penalty area and was volleyed home from eight yards out by Timlin.
He ran onto the headed on ball from the throw in and unleashed an unstoppable volley back across the goal and in the side of the goal past Logan.
The game win was well and truly sealed when Timlin got his second of the game less than 10 minutes later, scoring the best goal of the game, firing a ferocious half volley into the top right hand corner of the net.
He pounced on a bouncing ball that wasn't cleared from a Southend throw outside the Rotherham penalty area. Scoring the best goal of the game with a shot Logan had no chance of saving.
Harris made it 4-0 when he slotted home an easy finish form inside the six yard area after being fed the ball from the right hand side, easily beating Logan in the Rotherham goal.
One positive Andy Scott will be able to take from the game was the appearance of Johnny Mullins from the bench. He replaced Troy Brown in defence after being out injured for six months. He played 70 minutes for the reserves during the week and will undoubtedly be in contention for a starting place in coming weeks if the Millers' defensive woes continue.
Rotherham United: C. Logan, D. Tonge, M. Raynes, T. Brown (J. Mullins 65), T. Newey, G. Evans, D. Harrisson, D. Schofield (M. Bradley 65), M. Marshall (C. Holroyd 45), A. Revell (C), L. Grabban.
Unused: A. Warrington, B. Pringle.
Southend United: G. Morris, S. Clohessy, P. Gilbert, M. Timlin, N. Harris, K. Ferdinand, M. Phillips, R. Leonard (M. James-Lewis 74), J. Kalala, L. Dickinson, C. Barker (C).
Unused: D. Bentley, B. Mohsni, B. Sturrock, L. Prosser.
Referee: G. Salisbury
Assistants: A. Holmes, B. Khatib, P. Davidson (4th official)
Rotherham: None
Southend: P. Gilbert (10) M. Timlin (47 + 60) N. Harris (64)

Voofoo Studios Announces Pure Chess is Out This April 15th on PS4
Voofoo Studios Creative Producer Shaun Read officially announced today that Pure Chess is out this April 15th on PS4 with details below.
To quote: You can literally smell the excitement here at VooFoo towers, and it's not (only) due to the lack of personal hygiene time we've had as of late. We've teamed up with publisher Ripstone to bring you our latest, greatest version of Pure Chess, which hits PS4 tomorrow. And we're extremely proud of our baby.
If you don't know who we are, VooFoo Studios is a small team of passionate developers based in sunny Birmingham, right in the heart of England. We've always prided ourselves on making highly playable, photo-realistic games, and thanks to the power of the PS4 hardware we've been able to turn the dial up to eleven.
Displayed at 1080p and running at a silky-smooth 60 frames per second, Pure Chess on PS4 is a visual tour-de-force. We've doubled the texture sizes, added many extra layers of post-processing, added contact shadows, and applied ultra-realistic depth-of-field... which is a rather boring way of saying that this is a seriously good looking chess game! Couple this with a massively improved custom networking system to provide a much slicker online experience and we're confident you'll love Pure Chess just as much as we do.
Pure Chess is available on April 15th and will be $7.99, but you can also get your hands on the best value Complete Bundle for $14.99 which includes all the DLC. PlayStation Plus users can look forward to some cheeky discounts at launch, too!
Both VooFoo and Ripstone will be doing some code giveaways, so get following us.

The canine was sent into the attic of the duplex on Sept. 5 that had been filled with numerous tear gas canisters as well as indirect gas charges. Two robbers had fled from the Bank of America on Yosemite Avenue just prior to the noon hour with an undetermined amount of cash in a duffle bag.
It ended an 11-hour standoff when the dog was sent up a ladder and into the close quarters of an attic where the second of two Bank of America holdup men had been hiding from police. Citizens still voiced concern this week in not knowing how the police canine fared in the capture.
Officer Dale Goforth said his dog was chosen because of the cramped quarters in the attic that the other dogs could not negotiate as well as Gage. The officer had to climb a ladder into the attic access to put his dog up on the rafters.
The first suspect had physically crashed through a front attic vent some seven hours earlier and was pulled to the ground by SWAT team members and taken into custody on the front lawn of the residence.
"I was wearing shorts and on my hands and knees working my way through the insulation – it was pretty cramped," he said in attempting to reach his barking partner and a screaming suspect.
"When I got up there the suspect had him in a head lock and was pulling on the top jaw and the bottom jaw having them fully pulled apart," the officer added. It was believed he was trying to disable the canine by breaking his jaws.
Goforth said when he reached the struggling suspect he physically put him down on the rafters freeing Gage from his grip – although the dog had been fighting to free himself. The suspect suffered lacerations and bites over his rib case with punctures down both arms and on a shoulder as well. The dog also bit him in the face as a picture of the suspect going into the ambulance plainly showed.
Gage's eyes were not affected by the tear gas, Goforth said, however he was taken to a veterinary hospital immediately to be checked out and was decontaminated of the tear gas that covered his coat.
As soon as the dog came out of the attic, his respiratory system was checked by his trainer as well as his nose and eyes, Goforth said.
Both men, Joseph Richard Keller, 26, and Elvin Jerome Brooks, 25, of Stockton were transported to San Joaquin County Jail where only one now shows up on the Sheriff's custody log. Elvin Brooks remains in custody with a court date of September 23. He is being held in lieu of $275,000 bail, $25,000 of which relates to a warrant from Napa County.
His listed charges include being armed with a firearm during the commission of a felony, second degree robbery, and commercial burglary. There is no mention of conspiracy or resisting arrest charges.

We had a customer recently who's application iterated through mailboxes on the Exchange server, advising for notifications on a handful of folders in each mailbox. They were fine with a few thousand mailboxes, but as they tried to scale up, they ran into a couple limitations.
The first limitation was already well known: MAPI uses shared memory to track a number of details between multiple processes, including notification registrations. This memory is allocated by the first MAPI client to log on to a given profile. By default, this memory will be 1 MB. When this customer ran their test with 1 MB of shared memory, they were able to call Advise 7828 times. The total size of the memory needed to track the 7828 notifications, plus all the other data also kept in this shared memory, used up the entire megabyte, so the next attempt at calling Advise failed. The reason the article gives a range of values (7800-7900) is that the practical limit will vary depending on whether other MAPI applications are running, what they're doing, what needs various providers have for notifications, etc.
Increasing the size of the shared memory got them past this first limitation, but also makes it possible to hit the next limitation. MAPI tracks the notifications which have been registered in a structure similar to an array. This structure, which lives in shared memory, will grow and shrink depending on how many notifications have been registered. However, the largest this array can be is 65528 bytes, as that is the largest block the shared memory routines can allocate. This is a fixed limitation and cannot be altered through any registry keys. Since each notification takes up 4 bytes in the array, we have a theoretical maximum number of notifications of 16382. Again, practical concerns (MAPI's own use of notifications, providers which may use notifications, and some fixed overhead in the structure) will limit how many notifications a client will actually be able to register. In the customer's test, they were able to get 16296 before Advise failed with MAPI_E_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY. Your own mileage may vary – expect to top out just north of 16000 calls to Advise no matter how large you make the shared memory.
Note that due to their common lineage, both Outlook and Exchange's implementation of MAPI have the same behavior. Both of them implement the SharedMemMaxSize reg key and both have the same practical limitations on the number of times Advise can be called.
Now – since this limitation is derived from how shared memory is used, running more MAPI clients that use the same shared memory will not work around the problem. So running another process as the same user will just spread the limit across two processes. If you want to work around the problem with a second process, the second process will need to run as a different user altogether.
Alternatively, if the goal is to monitor as many mailboxes as possible, you can try reducing the number of times you call Advise. The article on ignoring notifications may come in handy here.
Finally, this limitation might be enough to get you looking at EWS, in which case you'll probably want to read Vikas' overview of notifications in EWS.

rapidsms-threadless-router 0.1.3
Threadless router implementation for RapidSMS
Latest Version: 0.1.4
A RapidSMS router implementation that removes the threading functionality from the legacy Router class. Rather, all inbound requests are handled via the main HTTP thread. Backends can optionally pass requests to a message queue for out-of-band responses. threadless_router attempts to:
- Make RapidSMS backends more Django-like. Use Django's URL routing and views to handle inbound HTTP requests.
- Remove clutter and complexity of route process and threaded backends.
- Ease testing – no more threading or Queue modules slowing down tests.
Please refer to the documentation for more details.

In previous Home Tones posts, we've featured a range of metallics such as gold, pewter, copper and steel – today, it's the turn of brass. It's a warm, inviting colour which we have dotted about our own house. It works with both our antique and mid century modern pieces. It comes in various tones depending how much it's aged or has been polished.
Brass can have a wonderful reflective quality – and light can also play differently depending on whether the metal has a smooth finish or is beaten into a textured surface. It looks fabulous with spotlighting – or even better, flickering candles.
It works well with the natural shades of wood, wicker, seagrass and Hessian. It's often used with cream and white paints where its reflective qualities enhance the light & airy feel… but we particularly love it against dark greys where it has real dramatic impact.
