Organized IP Sharing: the American Way I spent the whole day downloading and consumming copyrighted material and didn't feel the least bit guilty. As a matter of fact the facility I used to do this non-buying consumption provided the tools and an organized database for me to pratice my skill at intellectual property consumption. The facility is not afraid of the police, infact it is located next door to the police station and the municipal court system--and they use this facility, too. Yes, I'm referring to using the library to consume written (and audio-visual) works for free, without paying a dime. Maybe you've heard of this, the library? It was brought to our culture by Benjamin Franklin, publisher and promoter of the patenting concept which gave rise to the notion of intellectual property. Infact, there is nothing discongruous between a patent or copyright and a library where such works are consumed freely by many people. Sharing a work wasn't the crime--misattributing someone else's work as one's own was the offense. But I digress. Where is the concept of the library of software? If my local library began offering donated titles on a check-out basis, would not Microsoft, through its front called the BSA, demand it to cease and desist? Today I spent the day at a library and at a Barnes and Nobles reading technical books on a subject I am not familar with, trying to (1) become familar with the subject matter and (2) to find good references that I would then purchase for my own collections. If the BSA went after published works as well as software, I would have had to purchase 30 books on Java, XML, RMI, XML-RPC, RSS, EJB, etc., to accomplish what I did today. It wouldn't have happened. Actually, I do the same with software. I'll borrow a friend's copy or use LimeWire, et al, to find a working copy of a program I want to evaluate (unless they have a true trial version to use; Office X preview was not a true trial version--it didn't work just like the real thing). Once I try it I'll make a decision: buy it or delete it. I don't continue to use it unless I buy it, because I want the updates and other goodies--and if I like it I don't mind paying for it. Just like my book scouring at the library/bookstore. I propose that we establish software libraries--donated purchased software licenses that can be checked out (for evaluation purposes and short-term use). I propose that these be mandated by law to accompany the ever stricter copyright/patent laws so that the "intellectual" benefit to society of Intellectual Property not be lost ensuring the "property" benefit to private concerns. Free software, on the other hand, falls into the library/copyright paradigm perfectly. Freshmeat, SourceForge, Savanaugh (sp? sheesh), are today's libraries for software. And it is Microsoft, not the FSF, that was fined for piracy--passing off the work of another as one's own. BSA and Microsoft: against casual sharing (like a library) and not respecting the copyright law. How un-American!

Die

are people f-ing insane????? i guess teller was wrong.

mess i disagree. just because you are not a pioneer or even an active player dosen't mean you are to blame. loving something, truly loving it and caring for it with respect and knowledge should bring you pleasure and joy and.... ....honor!! you are a keeper of the flame without being corny. do you know what i mean? a keeper in good faith if you will. love it and respect that love. knowledge is power and in the end goodness! it's when coltrane opened the door to the absys, as beautiful as it is, that so many thought blowing what appear to be nonsensical scales was cool. before that the clique was tight and alive. but the deepness brings death when the unaware and leech infected "dohdohbirds" manufacture their uneducated unrespectful version of the real deal. that is what has also happened to techno in my opinion. f*ckall though i ain't ever giving up! that hush over the crowd when....ah you remember. *it'll probably happen to the next thing as well! btw:watch for a drummer named john lampkin on the players circut. he is on it!!! oh i forgot to ad elvin! sh*t man elvin jones. nuff said!!!!

brown and roach, the second miles rhythm section(both for that matter), the fenominally dynamic ahmad trio with vernell fournier, jackie mclean, johhny griffin, the red garland trio records with art taylor.....roy hanes, tadd dameron's writing(and arranging), horace silver's arranging(and writing), everything monk ever played/wrote and without question basie's band with papa jo-the swing will break your neck right off they rocked so hard! and he lost me completely with everything after it but this record is amazing: (now he sings...)completely deep to the core record this is from an otherwize bland pianist. that bush thing is incredible. something you already know but sh*t, that's brutal!

Or Zawinul!

"This is unbelievable, scary, but 100% true... Recently Bush met with Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Not far into the conversation, Bush asked the 71 year old statesman an unexpected question: "Do you have blacks too?" Condoleezza Rice was present and jumped in to save Cardoso from having to answer, informing Bush that in fact Brazil is home to more blacks than any country outside Africa. The incident, witnessed by the White House press corps, is more proof that Bush knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the world he lives in--AND LEADS! This is terrifying! Equally terrifying: the American media did not report the incident. There seems to be an unwritten rule that while it's ok to acknowledge Bush's lack of "intellectual curiosity", any hard evidence of utter stupidity must be covered up. The incident was reported outside the U.S.. For example, by the prestigious German news magazine Der Spiegel. Here's a translation of the article (with a link to the original German article): http://gwbush.com/copies/trans.shtml Please spread the word about this. American voters need to know that our pilot is flying blind! Please visit GWBush.com for the full feature and some additional laughs on this subject..." http://gwbush.com

i will write more later, this is all really interesting... but i have guests and am cooking... anyway, PAL is slower than NTSC (never the same colour) Actually, Its Never Twice the Same Colour, refering to its looking different on each TV. so the pitch would be lowered. and yet, the pitch is HIGHER. This is the explanation TV standards Guide Is cool, where I found this: "PAL which stands for Phase Alternating Line is one of the television formats used in Europe. It has a pixel aspect ratio of 576 vertical lines and 720 horizontal lines. This means there are 288 vertical scanned lines and 360 horizontal scanned lines, with a display frame rate of 25 frames per sec at 50Hz. Colour subcarrier of 4.433618, horizontal frequency of 15.625 Khz, vertical frequency of 50 Hz, video bandwidth of 5.0 Mhz, and an audio bandwidth of 5.5 Mhz FM." "NTSC which stands for National Television Standards Commission is the standard format of television in North America. It has a pixel aspect ratio of 480 vertical lines and 720 horizontal lines. This means there are 240 vertical scanned lines and 360 horizontal scanned lines, with a display frame rate of 29.97 frames per sec at 60Hz. Colour subcarrier of 3.579545, horizontal frequency of 15.735 Khz, vertical frequency of 60 Hz, video bandwidth of 4.2 Mhz, and an audio bandwidth of 4.5Mhz FM." Found this, which is not what we are talking about, but is fascinating nonetheless. I used to run U-Matic NTSC/PAL switchable with pro Sony Trinitron monitor, PAL VHS and NTSC VHS in my place, attached to the studio for dubbing editing playing NTSC video games and stuff, so I have the "bones" when it comes to pre digital standards conversion & stuff. NTSC was the only way to watch uncencored movies at home back then; now of course, its suddenly OK to watch horror movies. And there is NO REASON for the audio of TV commercials not to be compressed at the station, to save the sanity of the millions (and millions) of TV punters. They cut films for the benefit of the public, why not level out the sound of adverts?? Early morning BLOGDEATH: CRUSH KILL DESTROY!!!!!!

Case Pr0n

Dav, you are so leet! I knew someone who ran a compressor on his TV to make the commercials as loud as the programming (we all know that commercials are louder than the programmes right?)

Acrobat 5 has been released for Linux / UNIX. This has got to be a side effect of OSX being based on Unix. Can we now expect all the adobe apps to be available for Linux? Or am I dreaming?

How does this affect UK viewers? Slaves of the UK who watch BBC dont watch ads, so not releveant. Watchers of ITV are STEALING from ITV when they skip ads. Sky viewers are stealing nothing, because they pay a fee to watch sky, and so you can skip adverts with a clear concience with Sky. Of course, that guy is full of shit, and what he says doesnt mean jack. Pardon my slang.

What's with the higher pitch? NTSC => PAL conversion gone wrong? NTSC = 25FPs PAL = 30FPs PAL's frame rate is faster, hence the sped up audio.

Never mind having you programmes "raped" by commercials; did you know that in the UK the TV is cut to shreds by censors, and that they then advertise and show these programmes and films without declaring that they are making cuts? Star Trec TNG is cut, films are often cut. I dont have a problem with this (!) ecxcept when you are COMPELLED to pay for something, you should AT LEAST expect to be told EXACTLY what you are getting. There are laws to stop people putting pink lemonade in yellow lemonade bottles without telling the public, why should TV be any different? When the BBC puts on a movie and cuts it, they should ANNOUNCE THIS at the start. Of course, no one thinks that this is needed; the BBC is a nepostistic all powerful self serving paternalistic monster that is answerable only to itself. To top it all off, the audio of any american program that you watch in the uk is a quarter of a semitone higher in pitch than when it is played on a real TV set. This means that all the speech is higher pitched, and all of the music is too fast and out of tune.

Jamie Kellner, CEO of Turner Broadcasting, says that skipping commercials, even if you're in the bathroom, is stealing. In the April 29, 2002, issue of "Cableworld" magazine, Kellner describes personal video recorders (PVRs) like TiVo and ReplayTV as devices designed to "steal" programming because they allow consumers to skip programming in 30 second intervals. Kellner states: "JK: Because of the ad skips.... It's theft. Your contract with the network when you get the show is you're going to watch the spots. Otherwise you couldn't get the show on an ad-supported basis. Any time you skip a commercial or watch the button you're actually stealing the programming. CW: What if you have to go to the bathroom or get up to get a Coke? JK: I guess there's a certain amount of tolerance for going to the bathroom. But if you formalize it and you create a device that skips certain second increments, you've got that only for one reason, unless you go to the bathroom for 30 seconds. They've done that just to make it easy for someone to skip a commercial." Despite what Mr. Kellner thinks, television viewers have no "contract" with broadcasters. While it may seem laughable that a powerful industry executive such as Mr. Kellner holds this belief, it's no laughing matter -- Mr. Kellner's colleagues in the television industry are suing electronics manufacturers to keep PVRs off the market. http://action.eff.org/tinseltown/tinsel.asp

the mechanics of destruction matt herbert offers his take on everything from the poison arches to *$s to rwanda on his new radioboy album. amazing.

*$ is a hell of a lot worse as it is a rather ruthless corporation. being ruthless is not evil. Also, *$s is rated as one of the best companies to work for in the USA, by its staff, who enjoy generous stock options amongst other benefits. Coffee farmers getting fucked up the ass, anyone? Can you be specific? Anal sex has nothing to do with coffee. Unless you are a coffee enema pumping colonic sex freak. As for the interior being ugly, allways similar etc, I have already addressed this, and this does not make them evil, it just means that they have bad taste. Local shops dont sell coffee next to a Starbucks because they dont know how to make coffee. Period. I have already addressed this point too. I will add to that; if there were two places of identical quality to get coffe, the closest one to you would always win, or the quietest one, or the one with the best free newspapers, hottest steamer (!). People will of couse, walk an extra 5 mins for a better coffee. But you know this. The money that goes into a big black hole is handed over willingly by the people who drink the "damn fine cup of coffee and Smashing hot chocolate"; you cant say that they suck and that you hate them AND drink thier stuff and give them money to grow; it simply doesnt make sense! As for them sueing, they sue to protect their trademarks. "*$s" is not a trademark of Starbucks® so there is nothing to fear there. they just do. You HAVE to do better than that! it is the nature of large corps to "survive" and facilitate growth of capital by any means. investors need to be appeased and see returns so whatever produces the bottom line. how more clear can it be? Ummm whats wrong with giving people jobs and selling good coffee?? Whats wrong with making a profit? but if it was up to me starbucks and the sweatshop ideals are one and the same and need to be dealt with. Starbucks is the polar opposite of a sweatshop, this is a fact. They look after thier employess well, and are famous for it. Once again, the fact that their shops are "an eyesore" does not make them evil I say again: will someone PLEASE explain to me EXACTLY what *$s is doing that is so wrong?? What does "exactly" mean?? It means give me some clear examples of how *$s is an immoral, evil, bad company. It means give me examples of how thier behaviour as a company has been wrong. It means give me examples of how thier corporate policy and business practices are bad. If they have put business before people, show how they have done this. By all means, hate them irrationally, irrational hate is Fun® but at least say so! You do it like this: "I just dont like companies that are sucessful and which make huge profits." "I am a socialist. Profitmaking is wrong. Thats why I hate Starbucks." "I dont like chain stores." "I just like to hate!" "What-Ever!!!!" "prozac" "Stop blogging first thing in the morning DINGBAT"

I like your t-shirts, Akin, but be careful! *$s sues.
They have no sense of humor. It is unfortunate you don't have better coffee choices in England. I live in Little Italy, where the espresso runs freely, and they make mochas* with chocolate whipped cream.
*not to be taken lightly. There have been reports of adverse behaviour aprés consumption.

Those plastic bags outnumber the sewer rats -yo bro i used to work on carmine st at bleeker and i don't know about that! *wink* restaurants' basements can be...well, tricky to say the least. they are everywhere though esp. down on canal. interesting dilema a tax would be. might be a good idea actually still processing it. those vendors down on canal are nasty. and every bodega gives 'em out like water. it is a problem. i guess it's about individual responsibility really when it comes down to it. whether you take the bag or put your bagels and pop in your own backpack. it's tough to force anyone to do anything. you know the tg song 'convincing people' right? maybe i'll do a remake named 'forcing people'. ah ha, thanks for the idea!!

on star$$$$$. explaining why they are $ grubbing is like explaining why rabbits mate. they just do. it's in their nature to do so. it is the nature of large corps to "survive" and facilitate growth of capital by any means. investors need to be appeased and see returns so whatever produces the bottom line. how more clear can it be? this is why some people choose to avoid the large corp environments as much as possible. putting $ before people is the wrong way to go in a global sense. not in a business sense however if your brain is small. it's better business to make happy employees but not when your customers don't care if the employees are being treated fairly and this can be controlled thru solid public relations and other means. this explaination should be clear. please let me know if it's not though. and really if they are not happy employees they can just quit but as the ladder slides down the working poor get shit on as they are at the bottom of the hill. but to be honest i only see middle class college students working at starbucks so......that is another issue entirely. hey whatev to it really though. everyone has their opinion and all are valid. but if it was up to me starbucks and the sweatshop ideals are one and the same and need to be dealt with. plus star$$$$$ cafe's are an eyesore. tres non design. it's like ikea gone even worse! i am sure you know by now i have to have something to bitch at!! :)

In America, brown recyclable bags have slowly been phased out in favor of the plastic bags that wreak havoc the world over. I should have said used to certainly when I was growwin up in New Yawk, A&P, Grand Union and the rest always gave away brown paper bags by default.

>In America, this sickening, inneficient and shabby way of carrying your shopping home is unheard of. Beautiful, recyclable, spacious and sturdy brown paper bags are the norm. In America, brown recyclable bags have slowly been phased out in favor of the plastic bags that wreak havoc the world over. For awhile it was a binary at the register ("Paper or plastic?") but now they just give you plastic unless you forcefully request paper. And even then, the store may not have it. A plastic bag tax would do wonders for the streets of NYC. Those plastic bags outnumber the sewer rats. And they can fly. And climb/nest in trees. And boy can they scream and make some noise.

You cant drink at *$s AND hate them (and remain logical). No one has been able to explain to me in a satisfactory way, why *$s is so very evil. Are they more evil than McDonalds? Burger King? Raytheon? Glaxosmithkline? They have a rechargable money card....ummm this is NOT evil last time I checked, unless they embed it in your right hand or forehead. :] I want it spelt out to me why *$s is evil in 500 words, otherwise, wake up, smell the coffee and lay off *$s! Now theres a fukkin t-shirt! Later today, promise!

those flimsy bags you mean like the ones from 7-11 or something. the bodega bags right? they make good wastepaper basket liners for the bathroom and they are good for keeping fresh vegtables fresh in the fridge but we try not to use them if poss. iz dat whut you guys are talking about as i am a little too lazy to show last 10 or whatever. and yeah they make good coffee but those coffee comdoms they hand out on every cup are a drag and all their cool mugs i wanted had their stupid logo on them. the employees were pissed off about those cards though. i mean how much money do starbucks execs need anyway. shit i'm sure it ain't the best paying job out there and to cut the tips and the customers frees are patheticly low. bad business too. but when your that big who the fuck cares it's all public relations and location then. did you know that on robson st here in vancouver there is a corner where one starbucks is on say the southeast corner and another on the northwest! and they are both always full. with busines like that you can afford to treat your employees like burger flippers. take mcdonalds...worked for them huh? and that is one reason why star$$$$$ can suck it. i'd danrather drink brown hotwater than go there again. but their mugs were cool.... :) tea-hee

the employees at star$$$$$ are handing out a leaflet condeming this: we got one at the counter. star$$$$$ are scumbums.

You can sit down with this, and read it. It is beautiful and sensual. It is an oasis of silky finesse in a world of filthy grit. It is a small island of measured thought in an ocean of publications that only measure (100 most beautiful wimmin, endless and pointless chronologies that are repeated over and over.

plastic bags : next year a government ( uk ) tax will be imposed on the use of plastic bags - it'll cost you at least 10p per bag every time you take a new one from a shop And of course, a very sturdy, long lived thick bag can be bought for 10p at Watrose, meaning that NO ONE will accept the flimsy, disgusting, overproduced, revolting nasty "ends up getting used for everything" bags that plague the UK. Nothing is quite as bad as having a house with these bags in it.

Alternative One - elimination of a huge portion of world population. Alternative Two - to build many underground bunkers, as large as small towns, to protect the government in seclusion until the surface population thinning was finished. Alternative Three - to build a "transfer station" on the backside of the Moon, build an underground base on Mars and remove a certain limited "Noah's Ark" cross section of Earth's population, artists, scientists, engineers, writers, etc., to Mars as a survival colony in the event of "catastrophy" on Earth.

http://www.clusteredwateronline.com/ Clustered Water Online - Dr. Lee Lorenzen,

A Cape Girardeau, MO, police officer reports witnessing a large, unlighted, disc-shaped object, which floated across State Route 74 while he was on traffic radar patrol on Saturday night, January 26, 2002. The object's ventral surface was light colored, and it reflected the lights from oncoming vehicles. The object was approximately 50 feet in diameter, the officer estimated, and it was traveling at approximately 30-40 m.p.h., he believed. He had the presence of mind to "shoot" at the object with his hand-held radar unit, but curiously, no return was registered by the instrument.�

The nature or 'reality' of these craft and these beings has been incorrectly characterized by some as belonging to 'another dimension or reality' from this dimension. Unfortunately, these statements are made without fully considering what 'this reality' is. A more correct understanding of this is that the Full Spectrum of Reality is a singular, integrated one which may be perceived wholly or in its various aspects, such perception being entirely dependent on the level of consciousness of the perceiver. The various aspects or 'dimensions' of this reality, which are limitless in number, are not restricted to or by time and space as we know it commonly. These beings and their craft belong to the same Reality as humans, however their advancement in the realms of physical science and the science of consciousness has given them competence in a broader aspect of the Full Spectrum of Reality than is usually experienced by humans. The difference, then, is one of degree and not fundamental reality, since humans potentially have access to all aspects of the Full Spectrum of Reality just as extraterrestrial beings do. These differences are not insurmountable, nor are they truly fundamental; in fact they are relative and only temporary. While these beings are utilizing and experiencing a broader aspect of the Full Spectrum of Reality, so too can and will humans, for we are as 'inter-dimensional' by nature as they...

Great article, but the USA is not the only country on earth where software is written and music equipment manufactured; in fact, most music equipment comes from and is sold /outside America/. This legislation will cripple American innovation and programmers, and will do nothing to stop the rest of the world from galloping ahead of the USA in these fields. Once the Americans smell that they are "loosing the bucks", or that they are even /about/ to loose the bucks, they will repeal this legislation as quickly as they passed it. The same pressures forced a complete 180 on the legislation restricting the export of encryption software. Once they realized that other countries would start benefiting in places that America made itself absent, they woke up and changed the law. As for software development, the same rule applies. The biggest revolution in software has come not from America but from /Finland/. Of course, I am talking about Linux. If America passes any law that restricts the copying of software, or that in any way damages the ability of programmers to write exactly the type of software that they choose, the "brains will drain" to free countries like Finland and the UK. The same goes for manufacturers of entertainment equipment. America will see a huge grey market in freely working equipment flooding into its streets, legitimate outlets will be squeezed out of business, and the remaining manufacturers situated in the USA will simply go bust since no one outside of the states will pay for crippled speakers, recorders, and players. Manufacturers outside the USA will of course benefit greatly. They will innovate freely, at a pace that they choose, and flourish in a truly free market. America is an important place, but it is not the whole enchilada, and no one (with any sense) is following their lead anymore. The excesses of congress should be reported as /cautionary tales/, and not as legal disasters / successful hijackings of the law by lobbyists, since these laws have no effect on countries outside of the USA, save to make programmers run into our arms. http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4416356,00.html

Shining moment of the day: I asked William Gibson if he'd like to make a cyborg. I did not recognise him, I thought he was just another tourist/visitor taking in the art gallery with his wife. Ha! So of course, I'm all friendly and smiley, "Hi, welcome to our Open Studio. This is part of the Cyborg exhibition on the first floor. (which Neuromancer is part of, duh!) Would you like to make a cyborg?" I can't really remember what they said back to me, though I remember amused looks, polite thank you's et al. Then the animateur comes over and tells me exactly what I had just done, and we're both laughing our heads off. Brilliant! I wish he would have introduced himself, it would have been good to share the laugh with him.

is that an s900 back there? no, a 1000. his music is amazing; truly a wonder. very soon i will div up my own efforts in the studio for you guys to pick over and enjoy. just need to get my mc-80 or else no keys or synths are happening (my current situation)..jrums(deep in the jungle) only for now. a. manning has ....well let's just say...wow for his most incredible compositions. btw-shout out to reade truth. another inspiration!! got my s900 from him. he is a text book of knowledge and a hell of a dj too. t.g. for music and midi cables. medusa would be proud.

Has anyone noticed that the nespapers in EEC land refuse to lay the blame for the massive slide to the right on the majorities hatred and mistrust of the whole "European adventure"? The blame is put again and again on immigration, but immigration has been a constant over the last thirty years; the thing that has changed is this unrelenting, undemocratic, insane, ill advised and totally evil push for a european superstate, where each nation is stripped of its dignity, power and soverinty (sp), and its collectivized population turned into amoebic sheeple. These nespaper editors have an agenda, and they are pushing it with a fanaticism that Dr Goebbels would have clapped with all 8 of his hands.

The first teaser to the MATRIX: RELOADED and THE MATRIX: REVOLUTIONS is set to be released on Wednesday May 15th, with its world premier on Entertainment Tonight. To see it in theaters, it will be attached to a certain film due out this week. If you miss it, don't worry, you can view it here, at www.TheMatrix.com, directly after its final airing on Entertainment Tonight. That's roughly 9pm PST, May 15th. For this online release, we've decided to go digital... this is THE MATRIX, after all. We compressed this first teaser directly from the 2K digital source files, over 20 gigabytes of data. Why'd we bother? No scan lines, capable of far higher resolutions, zero transfer loss. More shortly. http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/cmp/index_sequel.html

Fix Bugs

Is there some bug that really bothers you? As well as reporting it, feel free to fix it as well. Fixing bugs in Mozilla is far easier than in many other applications, because you can fix bugs (such as those in our cross-platform front end, written in XUL, our XML-based User-interface Language, CSS and Javascript) using only the build you are running right now. There is no need to set up complex environments, or compile anything. We've even written a tool to make it really easy to get started - Patch Maker. So, if you've written web pages, you can hack on Mozilla. Check it out - it rocks.

Tens of thousands of stolen credit card numbers are being offered for sale each week on the Internet in a handful of thriving, membership-only cyberbazaars, operated largely by residents of the former Soviet Union, who have become central players in credit card and identity theft....

...A security expert who monitors several of the bazaars said one of the most active was run by a Ukrainian 18 or 19 years old who went by the name Script. The operator lives in Odessa. He is among about nine members of a clique, known by its members as The Family, who are considered the most powerful and reliable of the middlemen....

'the worst tune i've written is my last one, the best one- the next one' I dont have a problem with these irrational attitudes, "therzalottuvitabaaht". What distresses me and makes me angry are the times when this thinking stops people from releasing music. Just because YOU have an unhealthy attitude to your work, doesnt mean that it has no value and should not be released. I have had to put up with a few people like this, and frankly I would rather not deal with people who have to be babysat over every simple part of the process. Get with the fucking programme. Put your poop in a line. Straighten your shit out. Pull your thumb out of your mouth and grow up! What you are doing CJ is the right thing, letting it go, releasing it, allowing your music to work its magic, weave its way and in this case impress.

also need to know about CL and darwin. what can i do with it? The first thing you have to do is get Bash for your machine, and make it the default shell. Bash is the most popular shell, and since millions of people on Uninx / Linux are using it, you will always be able to get help. What can you do with it? You can rule the world. Believe it or not, you can get things done / launched quicker from the command line rather than using a retarded one button mouse (yes, flamage). You need to get two books. (1) Think Unix by John Lasser. You need this book, because you are now running UNIX and not MacOS. You will appreciate being able to connect to other Unix machines when you are online, and manipulating them via CL like they were your machines. Once you have gone through this book, you will be transformed into a Unix lover. Unix is beautiful, works beautifully, and suddenly, what the Internet REALLY is will become clear, and the stupid, uselessness of windoze and the old macos will become abundantly clear. (2) "Learning Perl" by Randal Schwartz. Since you have Perl installed by default on MacOSX, and can now run Perl properly from CL, you RELLY RELLY nead to learn it. When you finish the first chapter, after having studied Think Unix, Perl will make perfect sense, and get you...well...exited. One word of warning however, and Anthony will confirm this; once you become a Perl hacker, the way you speak and hear english will change forever. People will seem dumber, because the speech that they use will suddenly sound unclean and imprecise. Dont worry about this. It's Worth It®.

http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/13/science/13BEES.html Scientists working for the Pentagon have trained ordinary honeybees to ignore flowers and home in on minute traces of explosives, a preliminary step toward creating a buzzing, swarming detection system that could be used to find truck bombs, land mines and other hidden explosives. ... Scientists have found that it takes less than two hours to use sugar-water rewards to condition a hive of honeybees to eschew flowers and instead hunt for 2,4-dinitrotoluene, or DNT, a residue in TNT and other explosives, in concentrations as tiny as a few thousandths of a part per trillion. In tests of 12 trained bee colonies last summer at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, one to two bees an hour were seen flying around uncontaminated controls, while "we were getting 1,200 bees an hour on the targets," said Philip J. Rodacy, a chemist in the explosives technology group at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque.

the fugazi album is In On the Killtaker and a wonderful collection of songs it is. you should check out the packaging as well since it is quite excellent in both compact disc and 12" vinyl forms. cassavetes, instrument, facet squared, last chance for a slow dance. some of their other records that you might consider are Red Medicine and Steady Diet of Nothing. O! to be discovering fugazi right now... what a treat that would be... and do see them perform... some of the most extraodinary rock musicianship i've had the pleasure of witnessing. They never do set lists, either. they agree on a starting point and go non-stop from there.

FROM THE DESK OF: DR. JACKSON IKOM IBE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND FINANCIAL CONTROLLER NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (N. N. P. C). E-mail: ibe.jackson@nnpc-oil.net ATTN: President/CEO, I am Dr. Jackson Ikom Ibe, the Group Director and Financial Controller of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), because of my position and that of other strategic officials who are heads in their departments, we have in our possession, since 1997 the sum of US$800M Dollars (Eight hundred million United States Dollars) which we amassed through over-invoicing of foreign contracts fully executed and commissioned with the different foreign contractors duely paid their full contract amounts. We have made several fruitless moves to transfer this fund abroad for our mutual benefits. One in 1998 when one Mr. Patrice Miller of the United States of America, living at No 10, West 54th Street, New York, ran away with our US$65M Dollars after the fund has been transferred into his account. It was unbelievable, shocking and hypertensive that when we went there to claim our share of the fund, we were told that nobody with that name was living in that house and that the former occupier of the flat moved away few weeks ago to an unknown house. This is how we lost US$65M Dollars to the heartless Patrice Miller. The second attempt was when in 1999, we decided to carry US$80M dollars in cash through the Lagos lnternational Airport but was stopped by the Nigerian Custom Officers who seized the fund till today. This is how we lost another US$80M Dollars to the Nigerian Custom. Following the peaceful life ushered in by the current democratic dispensation in Nigeria, I and my colleagues have decided to transfer the sum of US$48.5M (Forty Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) into a foreign account operated by a foreigner for our mutual benefits. By this letter, I request your assistance in transferring and safeguarding the sum of US$48.5M Dollars for our mutual benefits. For assisting us in transferring and safeguarding this fund, you will be entitled to 35% of the total sum 5% will be set aside for charity and philanthropic purposes 57% belongs to me and my colleagues while 3% will go for reimbursement of all expenses made by both parties. However, I want you to be human and humane so that you do not become this second Patrice Miller of the United States. It is imperative to note that this transaction is risk-free as all modalities for the successful transfer of this fund have been perfected by my colleagues in the relevant ministries. However, we should see absolute confidentiality as our watchword throughout the course of this transaction for we are civil servants and will equally not like the 1999 event to re-dramatise itself. At your consent, I will be grateful if you can urgently furnish me with your private telephone, fax and mobile numbers and name of beneficiary and your banking details with the telex numbers of the receiving bank. These will enable us speed up the claim of the fund and eventual transfer into your nominated account. Looking forward to hear from you soonest. Best Regards, DR. JACKSON IKOM IBE

http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/dept/gi/hepB.html Treatment Alpha-interferons were the first drugs approved in the United States for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Interferon treatment is recommended for individuals who have "replicative disease" (HBeAg positive). About 40% of such individuals will lose serum HBeAg after 16 weeks of treatment with interferon-alpha. Loss of HBeAg is correlated with an improved prognosis. A few treated patients (less than 10%) may even be cured as assessed by the loss of HBsAg. Patients treated with interferon-alpha should have evidence of infection with hepatitis B virus, documented by the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen in the blood, for six months. The patients should also have evidence of virus replication, documented by the presence of hepatitis B e antigen in the blood. Ongoing inflammation of the liver should also be present as documented by an elevation in serum aminotransferase activities. A liver biopsy should also be performed prior to treatment. Patients with severe, decompensated liver disease (eg. encephalopathy, ascites, very high serum bilirubin, prolonged prothrombin time, etc.) should not generally be treated with interferon alfa except in the setting of an approved clinical study. The recommended dose of interferon alfa-2b for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B is 5,000,000 units daily, administered by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, for a total of 16 weeks. The patient must be monitored carefully during the treatment period for side effects including flu-like symptoms, depression, rashes, other reactions and abnormal blood counts. A meta-analysis of several randomized trials of interferon alfa-2b in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B showed such treatment to be cost-effective (Wong et al. Annals Intern. Med. 1995;122:664-675). This analysis showed that treatment with interferon alfa-2b decreased viral replication, documented by loss of serum hepatitis B e antigen, in about 45% of patients compared to less than 10 % of untreated patients. About 8% of patients also lost hepatitis B virus surface antigen (cured) within one year of treatment compared to a rate of about 1% a year for untreated patients. Other promising treatment options for chronic hepatitis B include nucleoside analogues. In December, 1998, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved lamivudine , also known as 3TC and is also effective against HIV, for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (patients who are HBeAg positive). Lamivudine is taken orally at 100 mg/day for chronic hepatitis B. In studies where they were compared, lamivudine was equally effective to interferon-alpha in inducing a loss of serum HBeAg. It also has been shown to improve liver biopsy results in patients treated for one year. At the present time, other nucleoside analogues are being studied in clinical trials. The combination of interferon-alpha and a nucleodide analogue such as lamivudine is also under investigation.

This is an amazing time line leading up to and then following sept11 with facts that are just too INSANE to believe: http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/02_11_02_lucy.html 27. September 6-7, 2001 - 4,744 put options (a speculation that the stock will go down) are purchased on United Air Lines stock as opposed to only 396 call options (speculation that the stock will go up). This is a dramatic and abnormal increase in sales of put options. Many of the UAL puts are purchased through Deutschebank/AB Brown, a firm managed until 1998 by the current Executive Director of the CIA, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard. [Source: The Herzliyya International Policy Institute for Counterterrorism, http://www.ict.org.il/, September 21; The New York Times; The Wall Street Journal.] 28. September 10, 2001 - 4,516 put options are purchased on American Airlines as compared to 748 call options. [Source: ICT - above] 29. September 6-11, 2001 - No other airlines show any similar trading patterns to those experienced by UAL and American. The put option purchases on both airlines were 600% above normal. This at a time when Reuters (September 10) issues a business report stating, "Airline stocks may be poised to take off." 30. September 6-10, 2001 - Highly abnormal levels of put options are purchased in Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, AXA Re(insurance) which owns 25% of American Airlines, and Munich Re. All of these companies are directly impacted by the September 11 attacks. [Source: ICT, above; FTW, Vol. IV, No.7, October 18, 2001, http://www.fromthewilderness.com/ members/oct152001.html. ] it just goes on and on...

Speed.

At the risk of sounding stoopid.... can I get a quick summary of what's going on with the HT thing and what the final aim is, if any in particular. The aim of HT is to create a human made linked database of all objects on the web, where every picture, website, sound and file is linked to another, by virtue of its being related to another object. For example, there are many pictures of Marylin Monroe online, all of them with different, non descriptive filenames. If they were all linked together with HT, then once you found one of them in our database, you would then have a linked list of all pictures of Marylin Monroe. Searching for any file, idea or website with HT returns lists of related objects for you to sift through. This means that when you search for "schoolgirl clothing" with HT, and hit a result that deals with exactly that, you will only have a list of sites related to that exact subject, without any unrelated results, like japanese upskirt porn, that uses the same wording. A database like this would be very valuable, and we can rent it to search engines so that they can filter results. People will add to it to help thier sites visibility. If only webmasters use HT, it will become hugely powerful. Since the public can rate, add and delete from the database, we will not have millions of dead links like other hand made and maintained databases. We need to: We need to build a windows client that works like the Google Toolbar or the Iwon toolbar. We need to build a Mozilla client to include the millions of MacOS and Linux users. And finally, We need to put everthing on a co-lo server (we have this) so that the stress testing and further development can be done.

"just say know©" to oil! but hey-> Phillippe Diederich for The New York Times: "SUPERSIZE": A McDonald's is to open at Brentwood Baptist Church in Houston this month, to give teenagers jobs and a safe, controlled hangout on church grounds. ->"word eminem, let's hang at mickeyd's and pray, yo!" perhaps we should fear joe schmoe!

yes, the skulls! took me from disposables to semiotics, and further to consciousness. fantastic! I'll be happy to lend my newbie eyes to HT for QA, its a super project.

isn't that what is happening barrie? isn't the apathetic canadian government just paving the way for the us to come up here and take over. you know that duke energy just bought westcoast energy. even the westcoast emails are now @dukeenergy.com. we know lots of newly appointed duke employees. soon and mark my words soon it will be the euro vs the us dollar which canada will enlist to compete. did you hear about the bombing at gordon campbell's wife's school? he has pissed off so many people in this province, the beautiful BC(and it is truly stunning) that there is a palitable sense of revolution in the air. he is hated here now esp in east van where we live with all the crunchies. he is really hated among the doctors and the teachers and the unionists et al. the only ones who are for him now are the money class looking to make a profit on us buyouts. btw: this is the second bombing directed at g campbell's regime. and you know what? i support it however crude an attempt it might be. down with the rapists...DOWN FORCEFULLY!!! sorry about that i just get heated sometimes. haven't made it up to alberta yet barrie. perhaps when we do we can all have dinner together. i know we have some friends up there and hey i make a wikked pasta sauce. the beer is on us!!! lemon and honey if it dosen't hurt your tummy too much. i think anthony had a great recipe for an elixir too a while back.

'The skull pictures are 4 feet high.' -oh yeah!! comments: NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR america is NOT to be feared directly........... and this is important. PEOPLE are not to be feared directly. $ intrests ARE however. $ intrests in any country. people for the most part are just sheep. and yes these sheep feed the machine but i am very sceptical when people bad mouth a country. as if all the inhabitants are of the same milk. be careful not to jump on a bandwagon blindly. people are the same bascially everywhere. they just want to go to work and put food on the table. the problem is when SOME people will kill to get food for spot the dog. and honestly if you drive a car you are to blame. if you live in the west you are to blame if you live in the east you are to blame. blame, seperation, and fingerpointing will NEVER get us anywhere. the only business the WORLD not america only mind you but the world has in the middle east is oil. plain and simple. if the $$(and yes, in texas mostly) found it more profitable® (this is another story entirely as you all know) to run another energy source then the middle east and arab oil producing/servicing/ ***pipelining*** countries wouldn't be so enslaved as they are in many ways. but remember that the PEOPLE in many of these countries DO NOT i repeat DO NOT benefit so directly from this oil production. the money is hoarded....JUST LIKE IN AMERICA. see my point? last i checked cars ran in every country....in every language!!!!!!! that is something to be fearful of. please don't jump on a bandwagon. "i just live here" -sheeple!!!!!! Carthag: lame excuse. -good point! how is mankind going to ever get their hands around an advanced concept like anarchy when we can even handle the easy one like capitalism. capitalism is like step one or two. anarchy is an advanced concept demanding the highest level of personal responsibility; demanding the most virtuous of human behavior. and i will say it now. capitalism is not bad in fact. not bad at all....nothing wrong with it. it is just basic; simple minded and narrow. it is the manipulation without regard for others that is the problem: the human failing. not the structure. imagine if anarchy swept the lands. most sheeple fucks would be wandering around looking for someone to tell them where to go to get more fucking crack. RESPONSIBILITY!! /rant over

I was going to buy that "Private Eye"...

comments? IRC Rulez.

Mikkel>> i'll run the SQL here on 1433 no problem. how big a directory do you think would be needed? what would the load be during testing? and during launch? my dns is pretty solid here and i am planning on turning one machine out into a dmz so it could run on that. a couple of months down the line i could probably dedicate a machine to it totally. pIII 866. if it really took off too we could pool in and dedicate a line to it as well. so yes, 4 +......i do know an SQL developer quite skilled³ but that is pulling from outside the lines, no? if needed i could ask. i work with him often; daily infact now. he is always down for tweaking stuff around. HTTP>> (the protocol used at the moment, it might be necessary to change it if the requirements are too steep) -could you elaborate on what you mean exactly? what else would it use? i have to go to bed......it's getting early again. :)

yes it did work btw. soon the break will be made to a more efficent os here but for now it's appz with corny names like robocopy. it works however; albeit with some tweaking as usual. thanks for the link too i was/have been using notepad. "I often wonder why so many people spend their entire lives consuming what is fed to them, without knowing if they are consuming anything at all," the letter said. "All of my family and friends were raised to believe . . . to be gullible . . . to be materialistic . . . to fear authority . . . to blindly follow. "Do you wonder why people blow themselves up to hurt others?" it continued. "Do you wonder why you are here? Do you wonder what is out there . . . way out there? I remember those days of uncertainty, and I can't tell you how great it is to know, to know eternally, and to be."

"bunny": Rsync under Linux does that, and of course, you can simply copy everything intact if you are root. If you want to edit and read perl, you might want to download Ultraedit if you are on Windose. It has syntax highlighting. Jedit is cool also. http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=screenshots http://www.ultraedit.com/ I'm looking over the script now...did you get a passing grade for this Mikkel??!!

hey check this out: speaking of imaging, i have a good friend who(just today) called and said he wanted to copy his dc's only harddrive and didn't want to mirror it on the new one. he tried a bold move of just ctrl+c/ctrl+v but the file permissions on ntfs didn't work out obviously they inherited the new permissions on the destination. this obviously would render the copied domain controller install inoperable; ***breath*** however.. a tool called robocopy 'i hear' saves the day. it's in the resource kit if anyone has it around. running it with an /secfix will restore ntfs file permissions after a copy. so, as long as you boot from somewhere else that c you can copy/paste entire installs completely intact and ready to go. better than ghosting it would seem if true. supposedly it maintains the tree perfectly! i'm going to try it out now and see. it just dosen't sound possible with how shakey windose is. esp. a domain contoller.

whoa that's nice! i tried to run it from a command line but it's looking for dbi.pm which i do not have. oh, i guess this would be the reason htDatabase = DBI->connect(SECRET); no? i'll go to the site..... this is a great way to learn perl!

ah, bring it back!

if you every need some space and bandwidth to share the load on an HT database engine, i am more than willing to host anything you deem necessary.

but look at this poor gentleman:

MMR Maybe Might Retard your chile. Yes or no is the correct answer, at the moment. There should be a choice, since there is a hint of doubt. If I had a kid, or if it was me, I'd go single. Then its "No", for sure. But WHERE can you get single jabs? Its like TWO YEARS WAIT now. That's the immunologist in me speaking and a mechanistic immune system thing about how memory responses are generated. Do we need a vaccination against chicken pox, which is the next big moneyspinner. Aparently measels is nothing more than a bad cold to most, and its only because a vaccination was possible that it was done, not because it is like smalpox or cholera. It's not to say either that MMR doesn't work or that MMR is unsafe. Very responsible. Unfortunately, like most things, this is being argued on a monetary platform and all kinds of irresponsible science is being thrown around as 'proof'. So its difficult to come to an informed decision as to Yes or No. Its a no brainer. Every aspect of delivering these vaccinations is reduced by 1/3 if you give them all at once. Its bad medicine to do vaccination in the most monetarily expedient way. Im going to post later about vaccination in general, now that I know that you know about it in great detail, and you are, "An Honest Guy®" I will be needing some clarification If you know what i mean...

MMR: Yes or no?

To do, or Mountain Dew? When you do stuff, this means what exactly? Making stuff, Destroying stuff, Moving stuff, Changing stuff. ...in general: $verb $things. As you know I am interested in software and network effects. I like to connect stuff. This is what I have been working on.

NB Three posts got n00k'd cause of an illegal character that was choking blogger; apologies Davros!...

do what? i'm game. i have at least a 'mostly' functioning brain and some freetime to put twards efforts. as well as some bandwidth and hardware.

uunet's lines: ck the skitter graph ->

here in canada we have what is called blocking. a policy of domain name registration where if you purchase say blah.on.ca noone can use blah.ca or blah.bc.ca or any second, third, fourth etc level domain name with the word blah in it. basically they are selling words and not domain name spaces. their reasoning is that they are trying to do away with third level domains here. such as the on for ontario or bc for british columbia. at least that is what i was told when i was screaming and yelling after purchasing XXXXXX.ca; having the deal go thru/my credit card charged only to get a notice dayz later that someone owned XXXXXX.on.ca and i would have to get their permission to use the word XXXXXX. permission??!! anyway there has been NO public push that i have seen at all to entice owners of third level domains to move their presence to just a second level namespace. so basically you can buy a word and block any use of it under the .ca namespace. amazing! ciranet/uunet/skynet/nazinet! "False Info". but how would anyone know? couldn't you just say....."oops! i must have made a mistake". ????? people are STILL human aren't they. you could burst into song: 'i'm only human...of flesh and blood i'm made. only human...born to make mistakes!" oopsie, so sorry. shouldn't this have been sorted out long ago??

[DOMAIN NAMES]
Bill Criminalizes Providing False Info for Domain Registrations
Internet users who knowingly submit incorrect contact information when registering Web addresses could face up to five years in jail under legislation introduced in the House of Representatives. Proposed by Reps. Howard Coble (R-N.C.) and Howard Berman (D-Calif.), the legislation would make it a crime to -- "knowingly and with intent to defraud" -- submit false information to an Internet domain name seller.

Sunday April 28, 2002 The Observer

America is the most unequal society in the industrialised West. The richest 20 per cent of Americans earn nine times more than the poorest 20 per cent, a scale of inequality half as great again as in Japan, Germany and France. At the very top of American society, incomes and wealth have reached stupendous proportions. The country boasts some three million millionaires, and the richest 1 per cent of the population hold 38 per cent of its wealth, a concentration more marked than in any comparable country. This inequality is the most brutal fact of American life. Nor is it excused by more mobility and opportunity than other societies, America's great conceit. The reality is that US society is polarising and its social arteries hardening. The sumptuousness and bleakness of the respective lifestyles of rich and poor represent a scale of difference in opportunity and wealth that is almost medieval - and a standing offence to the American expectation that everyone has the opportunity for life, liberty and happiness. http://www.observer.co.uk/comment/story/0,6903,706484,00.html

Illegal to follow your concience in the United States of America

"The antiboycott laws were adopted to encourage, and in specified cases, require U.S. firms to refuse to participate in foreign boycotts that the United States does not sanction. They have the effect of preventing U.S. firms from being used to implement foreign policies of other nations which run counter to U.S. policy."

>your thoughts... indeed... >an interesting and not so little site - set up 8 years before 9/11 http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ and below a section from one of their commentaries .... Afghanistan also sits on the proposed route for an oil pipeline which would allow the vast oil reserves sitting under the Caspian Sea to be brought to market, and it is no secret that a consortium of American oil companies want to build that pipeline. However, as John J. Maresca, vice president of international relations, Unocal Corporation, flat out told Congress in 1998, the pipeline would not be built until the Taliban was removed as the government in Afghanistan, even though the United States had installed the Taliban as part of the anti-Soviet strategy. When one considers the size of the Caspian oil fields, estimated at about 500 years' worth at present rates of consumption, one finds ample motive to start a war of conquest for that wealth. Compared to the trillions of dollars in oil profits which will flow from that pipeline stretching across Afghanistan, the cost of new World Trade Towers and a few thousand lives is a small price to pay to those who Yes; it must be said that we all know that the number of people who have died in different disasters, Bhopal, for example is far greater, and the suffering of people and states fighting with armed and stealthy opponents (what they call "t3rorists", the UK for example) has been greater. This was a shock because america was "the one untouchable"; now, psychologically, "nowhere is safe", which is a big change. America used to be very open. I myself used the washington to new york shuttle at least one hundred times, and it literally worked like a bus. Now that life is dead. This is a great loss, because the one example of how a pure and open life can be led in a free country is gone from the world, and the European style police state is the norm for the free world. lust for wealth beyond dreams of avarice. Actually i dont agree with this anymore. These people are the only people who are serious in the world. They are the only people who are thinking long term. No government is thinking 500 years into the future. They cant even lay on beds for the elderly. This is about stablilty in the *long term*, and if no one does this sort of thinking, the party is over for you me and our children and our grandchildren. On that subject, BMW are going to mass manufacture a hydrogen car. Its been in development for ten years. There is no way on earth that they would dare try and introduce such a disruptive technology without the expressed permission of the people who control oil/earth. This is a fact. That means that the plan is for the civilized nations to be free of oil and its consequences two generations down the line (the estimate for when gas cars are in the extreme minority/illegal) This is an extraordinary development, that no one has really grasped yet. The engine that runs this car can run anything. It can (and will) be used to produce electricity. Oil is finished. Think about it. Now think about all the billions of muslims that depend indirectly on selling oil. There is going to be "a big problem" if these states dont find another source of free billions to spend. Thier populatoins are going to become desperately poor, thier infrastructure is going to collapse, and unless they are hermetically contained in thier countries, they will spill out like .... I dont know what, into the civilized countries. And we all know now what happens when THAT happens.

Can you believe it??!!

Eek; Zope is powered by Python.

THE MAP OF "THE CREATOR"

A find of Bashkir scientists contraries to traditional notions of human history: stone stabs which is 120 million years covered with the relief map of Ural Region.

This seems to be impossible. Scientists of Bashkir State University have found indisputable proofs of an ancient highly developed civilization�s existence. The question is about a great plate found in 1999, with picture of the region done according to an unknown technology. This is a real relief map. Today�s military has almost similar maps. The map contains civil engineering works: a system of channels with a length of about 12,000 km, weirs, powerful dams. Not far from the channels, diamond-shaped grounds are shown, whose destination is unknown. The map also contains some inscriptions. Even numerous inscriptions. At first, the scientists thought that was Old Chinese language. Though, it turned out that the subscriptions were done in a hieroglyphic-syllabic language of unknown origin. The scientists never managed to read it�

No one I know uses Zope, either, yet, its there.

Certainly, these high level languages seem to be easier to move between; you just have to find your entry point. Personally, I like to *do* things, so I picked Perl since I was already using Perl scripts, needed them to make things so that I can Buy More Beer® & stuff.

Right now, Mozilla is very exiting, because you can write very interesting applications (almost any type of application) to work inside it. For projects like HT Mozilla is perfect; Its not going to change suddenly and in an unpredictable way like IE, so if we build a toolbar for it, it will work, and we will know WHY it works, and because the development of Mozilla is open, can safely be ahead of upcoming changes to the platform, and even influence those changes. Theoretically.

That being said, I would probably learn C or Java next. I will do this when there are 100 hours in a day and not the paltry 24 that we are stuck with!

Yaba causes the brain to flood with a substance called dopamine, causing huge exhilaration but then terrible lows. Even low levels of abuse (one pill a day for a few months) can produce clinical depression and psychosis, a condition the no-nonsense Thais treat with raw electric shock treatment in their psychiatric hospitals.
