Excellent movie for anyone having doubts

Best sci fi movie in a long time.
- Pokai
boo i hated it
- Caroline
I liked the movie, and loved that it used all unknown (outside of SA) actors and has given some great exposure to the South African film industry. For once the aliens chose to hover above a city outside the U.S! ;)

Absolutely loved this movie.

This movie totally wowed me... Fantastic
- Bette Cooper
We all know that in real life, aliens would only hover over the U.S., so I felt that part of an otherwise good movie was unrealistic.

Fiji Water: Spin the Bottle | Mother Jones - http://www.motherjones.com/politic...

The closely held company won't disclose basic data about its business (such as total charity expenditures), and it's gone to some length to shelter assets in secretive tax havens: The Fijian operation, according to court documents filed last year, is owned by an entity in Luxembourg, while its American trademarks are registered to an address in the Cayman Islands. Fiji Water, for its part, has trademarked the word "FIJI" (in capital letters) in numerous countries. (Some rejected the application, but not the United States.) It has also gone after rival Fijian bottlers daring to use their country's name for marketing. "It would have cost too much money for us to fight in court," says Mohammed Altaaf, the owner of Aqua Pacific water, which ended up taking the word "Fiji" out of its name. "It's just like branding a water America Water and denying anyone else the right to use the name 'America.'"

Bottled water has a function but as a daily indulgence should die. This company is exporting water from a small country that does not provide basic access to clean drinking water for all of it's population.
- Glenn Williams
Of course the US approved the trademark....

I've always been suspicious of Fiji Water, and now I know why. But I didn't know Pom Wonderful was under the same umbrella. I like Pom! :/

From my inbox: Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be...

@pallina60loon not an exception, still the rule. When a man gives a woman money, that is a small debt, which the woman "then multiples and enlarges what is given to her" :)

For ZuDfunck: Whatever you give a man, he will make less. If you give him a musical instrument, he'll pawn it. If you give him a house, soon you will be homeless. If you give him groceries, he'll give you a mess.. If you give him a smile, he'll give you a grope. He reduces and diminishes what is given to him.

Am I the only one who thinks this quote is a bit male chauvinistic? The quote has a wrapper that appears to make women look great but underneath, it stereotypes women as a typical "wife" in a submissive male chauvinistic system. Again, my 2 cents based on a cursory reading on a hectic day.

I actually had this convo with Nico Pitney last week, and in fact it was information gathered from our Iranian friends here that made it obvious that DPI wasn't being used.
- John Craft
Thanks John for chiming in...

Thanks guys. My obsession with this whole set of Iran stories has definitely turned up some interesting angles and a *lot* of interesting folks outside my normal circle with good things to say on this.

nytimes askes is free news worth the price http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
- John Furrier
answer is Yes when it;s more accurate than the paid news like WSJ as it is in this case with Mark's story on Iran DPI.. community driven opinion and analysis is actually more efficient than generalist news...
- John Furrier
Mark: i'm also getting feedback "inbound" from geek mailing lists on this issue - the experts are out there and chiming in ...
- John Furrier
That WSJ piece was a classic example of a little knowledge being dangerous. And I assume the reporter pulled the usual stunt of calling and asking for a comment an hour before deadline. Given the need to involve Legal, review contracts and NDAs, etc., there's no way the spokesperson could have given an informed answer.
- John Craft
From my friend Bruce Ong over on FB (i'm reposting it for him): An encrypted tunnel out is still reasonably safe. I hope Iranian citizens are using encrypted tunnels. Although based on what I hear from some of the DPI start-ups, even encrypted tunnels (like ssh on port 22) may no longer be safe. For example, a marketing blurb quoted from Palo Alto Networks's website: "Based on...

Its scary where the technology for DPI will be in a few years for sure; its also good to know Iran isn't on the cutting edge yet. I hope the US sets up a ton of Wi-max, satelite etc pipes into Iran just as the Iranian people used dishes to get international news for years. Anyone within X miles of the border ought to have a free Wi-max beamed in by the UN as part of the sanctions deal.
- James Watters
Bruce Ong writes on FB: I don't think Nokia has any DPI product they are selling. A lot of good DPI vendors right now are still in start-up mode. So I agree WSJ didn't do a good job of research when it implicated Nokia in this. However, whether Iran does or does not do DPI is in my mind still an open question. For the following reasons: 1) Iran's whole bandwidth outbound... Read More is...

Was it you and I, James, that were talking about the power of encryption here? I know that the encryption in bitTorrent is able to defeat DPI packet shaping schemes. I think it'll be a long time before these bits of equipment will be able to thoroughly spank a well informed encryption user.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
I was talking to you about the torrent conversation happening right now on Bay Area Geek mailing list the Bill Norton turned me on to...
- John Furrier
Mark-yes its an arms race. I'm not on the cutting edge with it but if they get the SSL pattern down (perhaps by early socket open key passing capture) it would be possible to do it a different way.
- James Watters
http://torrentfreak.com/isohunt... top google hit on DPI/SSL
- James Watters
Mark: Your'e absolutely correct. Plus, no matter what they do with DPI, or things like SSL patterning, it would still be fairly easy to get Twitter traffic into and out of anywhere, piggybacked on other allowed traffic, and run through a proxy that separates and reconstructs the traffic. And it would be exceptionally difficult to discover.

Adam, great point. Slash-dot seems so noisy and web 1.0 troll filled. Its almost nostalgic to read it again.

I was particularly surprised that the readers of Slashdot in the comments didn't point out the inconsistency. I posted something there, but it got no attention.
