IPAD: Some irritations with the IPAD

Thursday, November 25, 2010

Major irritations with the way applications are handled on the IPAD. Can’t nuke stuff without going to iTunes. Some applications show up in the “settings”, but most do not. (Why is that?) After upgrading the os, I find I have a new piece of “crapware” added in. Said piece of software has a dumb “sequential” password validation against rules that are not known in advance.

TINFOILHAT: The Obama Birth Certificate

Wednesday, November 24, 2010

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=231097

*** begin quote ***

I think those who have pushed resolution in the courts are brave and commendable for their efforts. But, as I have said countless times, there is no judge in America who is ever going to rule the sitting “president” ineligible. It’s just not going to happen. The judiciary is, like it or not, a political institution.

*** and ***

Think about the ramifications of even one state approving such a bill and getting it signed into law by the governor.

It will mean that Barack Obama will have a tough decision to make in 2012. He is going to have to cough up what he has been unwilling to produce for the American people – a long-form birth certificate.

Now I don’t know why he has been unwilling to do that. But at this late date, I strongly suspect he can’t or won’t under any circumstances. Either it would prove him ineligible or what it will reveal is so embarrassing and contradictory to his stated life narrative that it would render him political toast.

So what will he do in the face of such a requirement by even one state?

He can’t afford to write off a state. To do so would be tantamount to an admission he is and has been ineligible from the beginning.

His only other option is not seeking re-election.

That is exactly my prediction of what will happen should one courageous state legislature and one courageous governor do the right thing – Obama’s media acolytes be damned.

*** end quote ***

Yes, I’m a “birther”. Just too many things don’t add up. And, the final nail in the coffin of truth: why spend more than an estimated two point five million dollars to keep ALL the Obama historical documents “private”? Just explain that, and I’ll happily reconsider the “evidence”. Until that happens, I’ll adjust my tin foil hat and see what develops.

What will go in his “Presidential Library”? Everything since his election.

If BHO44 “chooses” not to seek reelection, it will make you wonder if he was EVER qualified.

In 60 years, the truth will come out. Just as it did about FDR “causing” Pearl Harbor and the JFK assassination. Those are just two that I’ve been following for decades. There are countless more “official stories” just waiting to have the “covers” ripped off.

The lesson this tin foil hat would like to have everyone learn is that the “official story” is rarely true. We may not know the “truth”, cue my Jack Nicholson in “A Few Good Men”, but you can be sure it’s NOT what you are being told.

Donna Nobis Pacem,

Responding to “I think I’m entitled to the truth!” “Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline.

INTERESTING: The TSA’s gloves (Updated: 26NOV10@1000)

Tuesday, November 23, 2010

Having spent a lot of tie in hospital lately. And, time in two different ones — RWJUH and SPUH — thankfully not as the patient — some of which was under “Neutropenic Precautions” and infection control. One thing that I vividly remember is the Nurses goign through gloves darn near every minute.

The gloves, while protecting the nurses and patients, were expendable. They could carry an infection from one patient to another.

How many times does the TSA screen change those gloves?

Any one test them?

So not only is the search a violation of everyone’s Fourth (i.e., secure in your person) and Fifth Amendment (i.e., takings) rights. Not only is that back scatter xray an unproven safe “medical device” (Has the FDA certified it?), that has radiologists publicly avoiding it and operated by unlicensed technicians.

But, those gloves could be a disease vector!

Anyone thought of that?

If they have I haven’t seen it.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINES
Doctors sound TSA germ alert
Dangers include syphilis, lice, viruses, ringworm
Posted: November 24, 2010 9:09 pm Eastern
By Bob Unruh

*** begin quote ***

Syphilis, lice, gonorrhea, ringworm, chlamydia, staph, strep, noro and papilloma viruses all are part of the possible fringe benefits when airline passengers next go through a full hands-on pat-down by agents of the federal government’s Transportation Security Administration, according to doctors.

*** and ***

“If an athlete with jock itch (a fungal infection) undergoes a TSA pat-down, that TSA agent could spread the passenger’s jock itch from his crotch to his armpits and neck. The same is true for a person suffering from ringworm or other skin fungal infections: Merely touching them and then touching another body part can cause them to spread,” the website said. “Even worse, if that same TSA agent does not change his or her gloves between pat-downs, they could be spreading jock itch, ringworm or other infections from traveler to traveler. So traveler #2 could end up with the jock itch picked up from traveler #1.”

*** end quote ***

Glad to see that folks with MD after their name confirm my suspicions. Doesn’t take a genius to figure this one out. I’m surprised it took me so long to tumble to it. After my decade plus on the First Aid Squad, I should have been on it sooner. Touching ANYTHING after touching a patient without fresh gloves would most certainly get a reprimand.

John Maynard Keynes thought he had pretty well killed gold as a monetary standard back in the 1930s. Governments of the world did their best to help him. It took longer than they thought. Gold in the money survived all the way to Nixon, and it was he who finally drove the stake in once and for all. That was supposed to be the end of it, and the beginning of the glorious new age of paper prosperity. It didn’t work out as they thought.

Apple and News Corp reportedly set to launch joint iPad news publication exclusively via download

*** begin quote ***

Rupert Murdoch, head of the media giant News Corp, and Steve Jobs, the chief executive of Apple, are preparing to unveil a new digital “newspaper” called the Daily at the end of this month, according to reports in the US media.

*** and ***

With no printing or distribution costs, the US-focused Daily will cost 99 cents (62p) a week.

*** end quote ***

Unless it has the UK Sun’s Page 3 ladies, I don’t see the 50$/year working.

The FLIP application already on the IPAD for free has a better shot.

All these “media moguls” have done is to get “We, The Sheeple” to buy the reader and transfer all the costs to us from them.

The IPAD is a “game changer” but it’s not a “credit card machine” like a toll booth collector. When I first saw it, I thought it was nothing more than a heavy device to sell me stuff. That’s the way these guys are thinking of it. It’s really a tool that puts the cloud at your finger tips.

Just rearranging those proverbial deck chairs isn’t going to do it.

Micro-payments will.

If each issue cost a tenth of a penny, then maybe you have a chance. And, charge me when I buy it. Subscriptions, “applications” that have to be downloaded to do nothing more than cost your wealth, and “copy protection” (i.e., Digital RIghts Management) in general is not how dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) is consumed on the inet.

(Consumed is a bad word. It’s not “eaten”. It is digested, shared, and amplified. Absorbed might be better.)

This idea is a dud! The continued death throws of the old print media.

Herald Tribune
11/10/10

*** begin quote ***

Gunfire erupted on a Newtown street in May, leaving Patrick Barbour dead on the road and Alphonse Gallo in jail facing a murder charge and the possibility of life behind bars. But a judge listened to the details of the killing and ruled that Gallo, 35, should not be prosecuted for murder because of Florida’s stand-your-ground law, which allows people to use deadly force to defend themselves. Gallo testified that Barbour and several other men confronted him May 15 …. The two had a minor fight about 30 minutes earlier. Gallo testified that Barbour, 24, threatened to rob him and then pulled a handgun from a pocket. Gallo, who had a concealed weapons permit to carry a handgun, said he drew his own gun and fired at Barbour three times.

Associated Press

“A government survey says 1 in 10 US children has ADHD, a sizable increase from a few years earlier that researchers think might be explained by growing awareness and better screening.

The new study found that about two-thirds of the children who have ADHD are on medication.” [editor’s note: So now they have done it; they’ve turned a legitimate ailment, affecting a very small number of children with severe learning disabilities, into an epidemic-level crisis that almost everyone has, and now can beg billions from the Feds to fund their game – SAT] (11/11/10)

Federal authorities are preparing insider-trading charges that could ensnare consultants, investment bankers, hedge-fund and mutual-fund traders and analysts across the nation.

The criminal and civil probes, which authorities say could eclipse the impact on the financial industry of any previous such investigation, are examining whether multiple insider-trading rings reaped illegal profits totaling tens of millions of dollars.

One focus of the criminal investigation is examining whether nonpublic information was passed along by independent analysts and consultants who work for companies that provide “expert network” services to hedge funds and mutual funds.

POLITICS: Bush on BOR — an observation

Saturday, November 20, 2010

I DVRed BO’R’s show. I listened to the one about interviewing ex-President Bush … and had an observation.

He thinks picking Dick for VP was a good choice.

Still.

I thought that was a blunder when he made that decision. And, still think it to this day.

One important role of a CEO is “succession planning”. By picking Dick, he abdicated that responsibility. And set the R’s up for failure.

If he had no choice but to pick Dick for the First Term, he should have (imho) made Condi the VP in the Second Term. And say Colin Powell Secretary of State.

That would have set up a Condi for Pres and Collin for VP in 2010.

We should have a tradition of one term Presidents. Or even amend the Constitution to either make it one term or remove the restriction.

The problem isn’t new. … In 2007, under intense congressional pressure to improve mental-health care for combat veterans, the Department of Defense acknowledged it was unfairly discharging combat troops by erroneously claiming a service member had a personality disorder rather than post-traumatic stress disorder.” (11/11/10)

Okay, call me nuts and I don’t really believe that our government or Department of Finance folks have this sort of courage, but what if our government has suddenly realized that the euro doesn’t suit our economy?

*** end quote ***

Ireland could become the “economic Switzerland” with one “modest” change. Very simple. Leave the euro, create an Irish Currency Unit (the golden Punt?), and tie it to some amount of gold. Forget the current price of gold. Figure out the number of Punts in circulation and how much gold or silver is in the Treasury. Then, the Central Bank opens the “gold window” to buy them back for gold and sell them for gold. Purchasable from the central bank in gold and redeemable by the average joe — paddie in your case — in gold. From the Central Bank’s concern it’s a near zero some game; they can even have a few basis points small commission on each transaction to cover their costs. As the world’s only non-fiat currency, it would quickly become the world’s reserve currency. It makes the Punt worth something intrinsically. internationally as the only non-fiat currency it becomes a proxy for gold. The Central Bank could even mint the golden punt — like the Sadam supported, proposed im Malaysia, golden dinar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_gold_dinar . What a shock to the global economy. It would hamstring the Irish Gooferment to only spend what it could afford in taxes. But, wow, the recovery would be dramatic.

In 2009, Iran was in turmoil, and the Islamic Republic was blocking and monitoring sites used by opposition groups — until a team led by American IT specialist Austin Heap built a program, Haystack, and touted it as a secure and anonymous Web portal for Iranians. *The Guardian* lauded it, and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton personally praised Heap. The U.S. government even gave him rare permission to export his cryptological software to Iran. Among an elite group of beta testers — and many more unauthorized users — Haystack was a godsend.

Then in Sept. 2010, security experts discovered a problem: Iranian authorities, the very ones Haystack was supposed to circumvent and shield against, were exploiting massive holes in the encryption scheme to snoop on dissidents.
