Comments (0) Technorati Blog Info: TechnoPrimitive
As of now Technorati is still showing my last post to be 45 days ago. I have made more than 45 posts in the last week, so I get the feeling that they are just majorily screwed up. But maybe it’s just my site. Who knows…
CNN.com – High court to get ‘Bong Hits 4 Jesus’ case? – Aug 29, 2006
So, from this totally disjointed 😉 article, is Starr working for the kid or the school or who? Some writer or editor needs to go back to school and learn how to put a story together.
Personally I think if the kid is off school grounds and it is not during school hours he should be able to do what he wants. Seems that the principal was totally out of line. Wasn’t there and all I have seen of this is this crappy article, so…
This is neat. Looks like software for medical enviroments is going GPL too. About time!
From the site:
Description:
neurALC is an open-source cross-platform software for the analysis of multi-electrode recordings. In the current version it supports experimental data files in the Neural Event Format (NEV 1.x, 2.0, 2.1), and offers functionality to reveal and analyze some of the information contained in such recordings. It is further intended as a kind of “catalyst” for the development of a free available cross-platform program for the analysis of electrophysiological recordings.
BackTrack: The gotta-have free security tool you’ve never heard of
The only network I am admin to is the one here at home but this looks too good to not get and try. Live-CD and Slackware based, GUI driven and loads of security tools.

Field & Stream – Photo Gallery – Make a Survival Kit out of an Altoids Tin
Though their layout is rather a pain with over 19 pages for this article alone the info isn’t bad. I’ve covered another survival kit in an Altoids tin before I think but the materials were a bit different. This is well worth a look should you be thinking about (and you should have one or more ready at all times just in case) getting or making a survival kit.
Slashdot | HP Launches Ink Patent Violation Manhunt
A very good reason to NOT buy HP products. I have in the past but plan to go elsewhere in the future. This kind of corprate behavior has got to be stopped!

UCR News: Sunscreens Can Damage Skin, Researchers Find
Interesting article. This one that is. The one I first say was on (guess where) (right) physorg.com and was butchered as usual. So will no longer link to their crap but search for the original and post it instead.

Food for Thought: How to Wash Up in the Wilderness, Science News Online, Aug. 26, 2006
Many campers who wash their dishes and utensils in the wilderness use methods that don’t consistently remove all bacteria.
According to new research, even professional expedition companies that employ one of several well-established, three-step washing procedures may place their clients at unnecessary risk of getting gastrointestinal illnesses. An alternative system that uses the same amount of water and involves the same number of rinses is more hygienic, says microbiologist Joanna Hargreaves, who conducted the new study.
Three bowls
To clean eating implements adequately, Hargreaves proposes a rigorous approach to washing in which backpackers would first fill each of three large bowls or buckets with about 5 liters (1 1/3 gallons) of clean water. Next, add 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon) of detergent to the first container and 10 ml (2 tsp) of 4-percent chlorine bleach (a common commercial preparation) to the second.
To wash dishes and utensils, remove most food residues in the first bowl and, in the second, scrub the items until they are visibly clean. A quick rinse in the third bowl removes the odor of the cleaning chemicals.

Looks reasonable to me and much better than just wash and rinse. Good advice and a good article. Visit the site to read it all.

Treehugger: Boeing’s Zero-Emission Plane Set To Take Off
And here’s Boeing with a copycat entry using hydrogen as a plane fuel. Guess they saw the article on the kids at the Georgia Institute of Technology with their 22 foot wingspan hydrogen fuel cell plane that has already flown and had to try to justify the expenditures to their investors…
Guitar instruction sites shut down by music industry | The Register
More on tightening control on any kind of information. Tis somewhat like the asshat that got the copyright to the song “Happy Birthday”. Now nobody can sing or play it without paying through the nose. Soon nobody will be able to type or speak without paying for each word uttered.
Personally I want to copyright the words “a, an, and, as, is, was, the, and idiot”. I figure with an income of 1 to 2 cents for each utterence or typing of the above I can have a rather large income in just a few days.
If that doesn’t make sense, well this crap the NMPA and MPA is doing ain’t exactly right either. They “say” they give a bit of each royalty payment to the song writers. I bet they do, just like the RIAA and MPAA give a bit of the royaltys to the artists and writers/actors. Sure they don’t. They use it to keep themselves in these do nothing jobs at redictulous salarys. And lets not forget the amount they pay the lawyers to issue the takedown notices… 🙁
Chef upset after he’s busted for foie gras
So who is the idiot that got upset and called this in? Does he/she/it get a gold star or what? Does anyone know just WHY Chicago (with so many other problems to deal with) outlawed serving Fole gras in the first place? And just who gives a damn?
More questions (but no answers) later. That is all…
Techdirt: What If You Had An Online Bulls**t Detector As A Browser Plugin?
Considering how LITTLE I beleve that comes from the government now, there is NO WAY I am going to use or accept the word of any software that they build that tries to tell me what is true and what it bull. I may be in the minority here but tis the way I feel about our liers in power.
Update – My bad. This is about the the Jap. Gov. and not the good ol US of Idiots. I still wouldn’t beleive anything that ANY governerment sponsered software tried to tell me about what is true or not.
