  1. I gotta say, @hcatlin's tweet about strictness/expression is spot on. We miss it since we think strictness can't co-exist with expression.
  2. We scanned a military chip ... manufactured in China ... and found a backdoor inserted by the manufacturer. cl.cam.ac.uk/~sps32/sec_new…
  3. @wiretapped the articles shows some clever subversion by Nike in the past ... subversion that the new rules are supposed to counter
  4. London sounds more and more like Orwell predicted: newsfeed.kosmograd.com/kosmograd/2012…
  5. It is fun to see projects coming together: Wikipedia Zero is live in Malaysia, Tunisiz, and Uganda blog.wikimedia.org/2012/05/26/wik…

  10. @Hum4n Greeks are Eastern, not Western -- at least their style of Christianity. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophatic… for knowing vs not-able-to-know
  11. @Hum4n we both used the word "Greek" -- duh! ;) -- and I pointed out that Eastern religion is different than Western
  12. @Hum4n what I mean is the East is more focused on experience of God then the knowlege of God.
  13. @Hum4n I think you'd be surprised how much the Eastern Christians (for example, the Greeks) differ from those Christians in the West.
  14. TIL that a KKK writer wrote a Native American "memoir" that was on Oprah's book club en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asa_Earl_…
  15. @Hum4n oops deleted before I saw your comment. Still like your replies ;)
  16. Feelings [are] a part of the human experience – but they are a very poor basis for human community and culture. fatherstephen.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/the…
  17. Time to set up Debian Unstable and start creating packages again. mah.everybody.org/screenshots/Sc…
