Best Quote of the Week ~ [1/22/12]: Censorship Edition

          ‎"How anybody expects a man to stay in business with every two-bit wowser in the country claiming a veto over what we can say and can't say and what we can show and what we can't show — it's enough to make you throw up. The whole principle is wrong; it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak."

~Robert A. Heinlein from his 1950's novella The Man Who Sold the Moon

Best (Belated) Quote of the Week ~ [07/15/11]: "We choose to go to the moon."

          "We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon... we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

~ John F. Kennedy on September 12th, 1962



Internet Down

         The Internet at my house is down, so I mostly like won't be updating for a while. I guess it is no big loss, but I wanted to let you guys know. I'm probably going to have to get a new computer and I do not have the money right now. Hopeful, I'll work hard all summer and get the money I need and it won't be a summer long blackout.

          ~Seeya

UPDATE [6/5/11]: The Internet connection in my house is working somewhat, but it is still dropping out 
                               on a daily basis for some time (though not as severe as it was). So... I will update
                               the site sparingly.

Sony Hearing: Threat of Data Theft

          This is a very insightful hearing on the dangers of data theft. It was suppose to be the Sony hearing for the breach of the Playstation Network, but Sony didn't show. The expert gave insight on what company can do to stop this from happening in the future and some reasons to why companies don't have proper defences already in place. It is really interesting and not boring and most of all give you a lot of information on the matter. I suggest giving it a watch. The run time is 1 hour 54 minutes, so don't start it five minute before your favorite show starts.
