"The years from 2000 to 2009 were unified by fakeness — high-profile charlatans penetrated virtually every area of life (as Frank Rich also pointed out). From fake celebrities to fake journalists, here's a top ten of our favourite* frauds."

Waiting for Synthia: Is this the year that we create life? - http://www.newscientist.com/article...
"Elsewhere, other researchers are working on the component parts of an entirely synthetic cell. George Church of Harvard University has already announced that his team has made a self-assembling ribosome - the cellular factory responsible for making proteins. He expects the next step - to get synthetic ribosomes to self-replicate - to happen in 2010."

Good trick, most impressive. I once used this same technique with porphyrin rings to get a good mark in a chem course. I didn't know sh*t about porphyrins but I could sure draw them. :o) http://pages.unibas.ch/mdpi... I wonder if he could do this *before* he decided to run for office?

"A chameleon dubbed Kinyongia magomberae has been discovered in the forests of Tanzania. Discovered by Andrew Marshall of the University of York in England, he was lucky to find it: A snake was in the process of eating the novel creature but dropped it after being startled by Marshall's presence. Since the discovery, only three more specimens have been found."

it's wrong for parents to offload parenting to the govt imho
- Chris Heath
Filtering adult websites is totally ok. Just let adults access everything if they want through a registry. People that go around the main DNS can easily get detected and parents can be contacted by email (that DNS circumvention or packet encryption is happening)

- Chris Heath
The parents need one tool to do the filtering, simply DNS filtering and instant email alerts if DNS is circumvented or Encryption is used on a Child-only ADSL/Cable connection

software filters are BS and you cannot require parents to understand how to setup private filtering on their Windows/Mac crap-PCs

- Andy
Having a hardware filter is fine Charbax but it should be opt-in.

Nah, it should be standard and Adults should be able to opt-out

mind you, i don't have a hd tv yet so I could hold out a bit longer if i thought it would be worth it

Nah it's just an upgrade of the DNS servers. And the Government could enlist a few thousand volunteer adults who can help tagging un-tagged adult sites and stuff using a browser plugin
- Charbax
Watchmen wasnt that bad
- Nelson Mateo
i saw the directors cut version of watchmen... i liked it.
- Chris Heath
Its never that simple Charbax.
- ralphsaunders
it could be that simple. I'd be ok if the Government simply ask Google to host the DNS server using Google Safe Search filters and unlocked through a parents-only password
- Charbax
they should just get set up with opendns
- Chris Heath
If they want to.
- ralphsaunders
of course
- Chris Heath
if you circumvent the main DNS, it is instantly detected so an email could be sent to the parents saying something like "your children might be circumventing DNS or using encryption "
- Charbax
Not sure how well that would scale...

Holy fuck, after two full days of training in which she's looked bored & taken hardly any notes, we just realized the trainee does not even understand the concept of a request for quote. She doesn't seem to understand the difference between a customer and a supplier, despite them generally being on different continents. NOT GOOD.

No clue, I'm a terrible judge of age. She's older than 18, though. Mid-20s I'd guess. She probably will do fine in the long term, if she makes it. January will be interesting, though.

Who the hell is in charge of hiring there?
- Spidra Webster
this sounds like about half of the people my boss gave me to train up as an assistant back in my publishing days. why i was never involved in the hiring process is beyond me. i ended up with 5 people making messes for me to clean up (when they weren't just sitting on their asses and gold bricking, which i eventually preferred) and generally pissing off the people i was trying to help.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
Spidra, the same boss (CEO) responsible for every messed-up work story I tell. The office manager was theoretically involved as well, but she's become a yes-man to the CEO (for her own safety). I used to be involved, esp when it so clearly involves me, but boss apparently doesn't trust me anymore... today he justified my continued employment by saying "I'll go with the devil I know." Not everybody went to management school, I guess... :)
- Lo
Joe, that sounds very lame! The bright spot (a big one) here is that I really won't have to deal too closely with the mess, if there is one. The downside is, I can leave as soon as she knows what she's doing... so I may have to keep working after New Year's. I suppose I could use the money. I'm just tired of this holding-pattern-between-lives crap.
- Lo
Broken hiring process? LOL
- LANjackal
Well, they did hire ME! Clearly broken. :D
- Lo
That is no good at all.
- Chieze Okoye
Maybe you could back track a bit... some sort of remedial session on things like "What is money? What does money do? Is money good to have? Do we want more money? Where do we get money? How do we get money? Do customers give us money? Do suppliers give us money? Does money grow on trees?"
- Mark "DerBingle" J
LOL Mark! But thank you, that's actually sort of good advice. I should probably back it up to the basics. My real plan is next week she just has to do my job, period. She's allowed to ask any questions she wants, but I'm not going to direct her. She's going to sit at my desk and deal with whatever comes. This should force her to accept and admit that she's clueless.

My wife had a CPAP machine for a while but couldn't get used to it. She's got an appliance now that fits in her mouth and moves her bottom jaw forward. It works great, she is sleeping so much better. However, the dog got that once too... a frickin $500 mistake :(
- Ken Morley
this is one of many reasons why we don't have pets. as such, i just started using my spare CPAP mask cos the old one reached the end of usefulness (got leaky around the edges). always keep a spare of whatever make/model/size you use. i've been using one since 2001 and ju$t replaced it earlier thi$ year. amazing how small and quiet they've gotten!
- Joe Silence is not Santa
sleep apnea is alot more than just snoring. really, it's where you stop breathing for minutes at a time and just lay there unconscious and suffocating in your sleep. untreated, it can cause heart and lung and brain damage, all of which i have in varying degrees.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
Boo. Glad you were able to get another one, Gunny!

OK, thanks. Would have offered a backup if he was local. Reminds me: I need to order a new mask.
- FF's Bubba of Arizona
Holy resurrected thread batman! The damned dog attacked my mask 3 separate times this week. The first time she ripped the whole mask to shreds. The 2nd time, she just tore up the pieceto get to the nasal pillow, the DME (supplier) gave me new one free. The NEXT DAY she went after the same part. Today I found she popped the start button off the damned machine. My insurance co sucks so I have to pay 100% for all supplies until I meet deductible. The dog's future is very much up in the air right now.
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Joe, My O2 sats dropped as low as 80% during my sleep study. I surely have brain damage from the Apnea. There is a chunk of my memory that is just GONE. I barely remember my daughter as a baby and I have been her primary care giver since she was born.
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Thanks for the offer of a spare Mask Bubba. I appreciate that. I have a friend in Chicago who uses the same mask as me and she gets a new one every 6 months. I need to call her :)

"You know when you go to another country and have no clue what the coins of the local currency are worth? ... Designer Mac Funamizu puts an idea out there that might solve the woes of international visitors. se wedges and proportions to indicate how much the money is worth."

"Nevermind the increased production costs, storage, and people cutting themselves on coin wedges. They look awesome. Plus - the one- and five-cent pieces can double as bottle openers."

Very clever. I love the 2.

Isn't this problem solved by putting numbers on the coins?
- Andrew C
Andrew: not really. 1. not for blind people, and 2. not when fumbling around in your pocket; you end up pulling a handful of coins, and then slowly sifting through them reading every single number, while people behind you in the checkout line are tapping their feet -- an all-too-common event for international travelers.
- Tudor Bosman
Something noted by the designer (http://twitter.com/mac_fun...) is that angular coins might hurt your hand ... but still a cool idea.
- Tom Stocky
Non-round coins are also highly impractical for coin-operated machines that depend on the ability of a coin to roll through a mechanism.
- Kevin Fox
I think it is about time to get rid of most coins. Do we really need pennies and nickles or even dimes? They are almost useless and have very little value. Does anything actually cost 1, 5 or 10 cents anymore? Would be a lot easier if prices were rounded up or down to the nearest quarter or dime.

“Robin Hood” Trailer: Have Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe Hit a Bull’s-eye or Missed the Mark? - Speakeasy - WSJ - http://blogs.wsj.com/speakea...
"Ridley Scott’s coming adaptation of “Robin Hood” — due out from Universal on May 14, 2010 — has got the goods on paper. Oscar winners Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett are playing Robin Hood and Maid Marian, the screenplay was written by Brian Helgeland (”L.A. Confidential,” “Mystic River”), and Scott himself is no slouch when it comes to historical epics. So why does the trailer for the film, which follows Robin during his stint with King Richard’s army through his return to Nottingham, seem so… meh?" Trailer at the bottom of the page.

- Ken Morley
Apparently not.
- Derrick
At 1:30, the trailer is a teaser, obvs, and I'm curious about how Universal will follow it up. It looks dark and stylish...and overwrought. Russell Crowe as Robin Hood has not made much sense to me from the get go...summed up perfectly by "...as one Speakeasy colleague put it, “Shouldn’t Crowe be playing Friar Tuck at this stage?”
- felicious
That was my thought too felicious. But I got to thinking there might be room for a more mature, gritty spin on the story that I think could really work. At least that thought gives me some hope :-)
- Todd Hoff
I agree, Todd. :) Even though I feel a bit cynical over Russell, and Ridley Scott for that matter, they always pull it out.

Watching V for Vendetta. One of Hugo Weaving's best performances in a movie that most people don't even realize he stars in.

I love V for Vendetta. I don't understand why people disliked it so much. It's really an excellent movie, both on the surface and for the social commentary.

Yeah I'm not sure why people would hate it, I thought it was pretty awesome.

Octopuses have been discovered tip-toeing with coconut-shell halves suctioned to their undersides, then reassembling the halves and disappearing inside for protection or deception, a new study says.
