"Ubuntu Privacy Remix is a modified Live-CD based on Ubuntu Linux. UPR is not intended for permanent installation on hard disk. The goal of Ubuntu Privacy Remix is to provide an isolated, working environment where private data can be dealt with safely. The system installed on the computer running UPR remains untouched. The risk of theft of such private data arises not only from "conventional" criminals, trojans. rootkits, keyloggers etc. In many countries, measures are taken or being prepared aiming at spying and monitoring its citizens. Ubuntu Privacy Remix is a tool to protect your data against unsolicited access." - ovigia from Bookmarklet

"When I tell people that, they often scoff and offer replies like “so you’re not a programmer then?” and “let me guess, you’re a coding deity or something?” Well let me say, I am a programmer and I am not Codethulu, but in the same manner that Al Gore can fly around the world in a private jet without polluting, I have negated my bad code footprint through the purchase of Bad Code Offsets." - mjc from Bookmarklet

"In John Singleton Copley's painting Watson and the Shark, a tiger shark – to judge from its teeth – is attacking a pale and terrified youth while his friends try desperately to hold it back with a boat hook while they rescue him. The rescue, in the harbour of Havana in 1749, was a success: although he lost a leg, Watson survived to become a prosperous London merchant, and probably commissioned the painting himself." - M F from Bookmarklet

Why him? Steve Jobs revived Apple and remade entire industries, defying the worst economic conditions since the Great Depression -- and his own serious health problems. - Praveen Vasudev from Bookmarklet

"People who illegally download music from the internet also spend more money on music than anyone else, according to a new study. The survey, published today, found that those who admit illegally downloading music spent an average of £77 a year on music – £33 more than those who claim that they never download music dishonestly. The findings suggest that plans by the Secretary of State for Business, Peter Mandelson, to crack down on illegal downloaders by threatening to cut their internet connections with a "three strikes and you're out" rule could harm the music industry by punishing its core customers." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

This is the second study I've heard about with the same result. It supports the "try before you buy" M.O. of today's music lover. - dthree

While this news won't come as a surprise to anyone here, the fact that policy makers are seemingly blind to the facts highlights the growing disconnect between Government and the people they supposedly represent... On the plus side, more reporting like this could help motivate people to engage more rigorously with their elected representatives... I live in hope! - Andrew Terry

"COPENHAGEN.- After becoming free from Spanish control, Haarlem grew in the 1580s into one of the leading artistic centers in the young Republic of the Netherlands. Central to this blossoming prosperity were artists such as Karel van Mander, Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem, and, not least of all, Hendrick Goltzius. Together they formed a study circle devoted to Haarlem Mannerism, as it became known. Their particular pictorial language was characterized by a strong awareness of style and cultivated elegance, not to mention a pursuit of an expression that prioritized artful ingenuity over naturalism. Their work depicted exaggeratedly brawny musclemen, violent drama, wild fantasy, and a rare richness of detail." - Kimber Scott from Bookmarklet

"In the sub-zero wasteland of the planet Hoth, only the strong survive... and of course those lucky Jedi protected by the thick skin of a Tauntaun. Now after exhaustive movie viewing research and analysis ThinkGeek Labs has isolated the exact synthetic compounds needed to re-create Tauntaun fur. What have we done with this supreme knowledge? Created a Tauntaun sleeping bag of course." - T. Brent, technopeasant from Bookmarklet

I am well aware the post title sounds like a bunch of bullshit...but if you know me by now, you should know, i'm not a bullshitter and I'm not trying to "sell anything" :) - Zee.

Wow. I wonder why they need to change it, when we already have our own country sites? It fits in with Louis Gray's blog article of Sept. 19 (http://bit.ly/6VaxY) - howard shippin

"Hey Jeff -- good idea. It'll be up to the theme designer to allow color changes. Unfortunately it is way too easy to myspace-ify blogs if you allow total and complete control of all colors. We believe that the theme designer should have final control over what is customizable, and its not possible to provide total color control to end users. &nbsp; Background images are coming soon -- it'll be a special feature that theme designers can take advantage of. &nbsp; Header images will usually be 500px across, and up to 500px high. Again, this is up to the theme designer. &nbsp; Hope that helps! -Garry" - Garry Tan

I love the little people in the foreground in the first one. They're so tiny! In the third one there is a boy fallen through the ice and other people are skating just a few feet away as if nothing is wrong. - Kimber Scott

"Are you a hip-hop fan who can’t tell assonance from alliteration? An English major who doesn’t know Biggie from Tupac? Adam Bradley’s “Book of Rhymes” is the crash course for you. The book — essentially English 101 meets Hip-Hop Studies 101 — is an analysis of what Bradley calls “the most widely disseminated poetry in the history of the world”: rap, which he rightly says “is poetry, but its popularity relies in part on people not recognizing it as such.”" - Jason Toney from Bookmarklet
