« Jonathan Karl: Is the President's "If You Like Your Doctor You Can Keep Your Doctor" Promise Still Operative? Comically Evasive Mouthpiece Jay Carney: [600 Meandering Words] | Main | GAO: TSA Should Limit Future Funding for Behavior Detection Activities » November 19, 2013
Overnight Open Thread (11-19-2013)Doesn't like to be told to calm down. Nor would a prudent male ever say this while within striking distance. Let Kipling's warning guide your heart and your big mouth. Oh and my usual ban on poetry is lifted for this evening. WHEN the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride,
Because I forgot to include it in last night's ONT. 137 My ex-wife ran from the cops during a traffic stop. Op-Eds as Social Positioning: or, I'm Better than Those Hicks! Explaining why James McAuley was driven to indict his hometown and relatives in the assassination of JFK. Christopher Caldwell had his type's number over a decade ago: At some point, Democrats became the party of small-town people who think they're too big for their small towns. It is hard to say how it happened: Perhaps it is that Republicans' primary appeal is to something small-towners take for granted (tradition), while Democrats' is to something that small-towners are condemned for lacking (diversity). Both appeals can be effective, but it is only the latter that incites people to repudiate the culture in which they grew up. Perhaps it is that at universities-through which pass all small-town people aiming to climb to a higher social class-Democratic party affiliation is the sine qua non of being taken for a serious, non-hayseed human being. Instapundit: The Incandescent Light Bulb Era Ends in January Uh huh. I was happy with the old ones. I was initially enthusiastic about CFLs, but they disappointed - especially in terms of lifespan. I've got a couple of expensive LED bulbs from a few years back that are okay. I've ordered some of the CREE bulbs that readers seem to like, and I'll report on them soon. Or you can just stock up on incandescents while you still can, and wait until the alternatives improve. That's what I did, since the Insta-Wife strongly prefers incandescents. This pretty much mirrors my own experience. I've given up on CFLs for anywhere where I need regular good illumination and now use incandescent bulbs from my stash or LED bulbs. I've had pretty good luck with these 60W equiv CREE LED lights. VDH: Bread and Circuses America I woke up one morning not long ago, and noticed that the world that I was born into no longer exists. It was as if I had once lived in Republican Italy, took a nap, and awoke to the Roman Empire, AD 200. OMFG - US NAVY: Hackers 'Jumping The Air Gap' Would 'Disrupt The World Balance Of Power'!!! Or not. It turns out that when you read article, the supposed threat boils down to infected USB sticks being inserted into isolated systems (a well known issue - just ask the Iranians) and 'sonic' viruses. Now the idea of a 'sonic' virus which can send information from one computer to another and possibly infect them using ultrasonic speaker sounds and microphones is something new - mostly based on the report of a single security consultant. This caused a big kerfuffle on the internet a few weeks ago but since then there's been quite a bit of skepticism towards the report. Now conceivably you could write a virus that could communicate with another already compromised system if you had a pretty good idea of what hardware was installed on it. But I'm about 99.4% sure that there's no way to write a generic virus that could infect another computer system just using sound. But this seems to be the fear-du-jour so whenever you see the term 'sound virus' just replace it with 'demon spirits' and it'll make the article more entertaining while preserving its truthiness. News You Can Use: How to Deep-fry Your Entire Thanksgiving Meal You know you want to - so why not just cut to the chase and get to where you've been heading anyway. Everything is Better with Yakety Sax Beavis and Butthead and the Skin Trade From her short-lived 1991 show. "Captain, you've got boobies." The AoSHQ group. Yeah. Teh Tweet!
