unless the HK police make another mistake, this should be it for the protest.

People poisoned at a furry convention
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/12/1...racter-confab/ 19 hospitalized. This is bullshit. So hateful. I don't know if some really big troll did this, or some religious nutjob did it because they hate furries because of the large amount of gays in the fandom and the large amount of porn in the fandom.

Apparently a bunch of torrent (and related) sites were taken down in the last day or so by authorities. I give them a few hours before they pop up again or until people switch to other sites.

So how everyone took that new CIA torture report?
Have to say that it was so cliche that it was so unreal. I means of course i know that torture already existed, but didn't expect it to be at this level of extreme, fiction-like. But i guess it's better for it to be out, when it can be seriously debate over and condemned, so we can raise over our mistakes and does not let it happen again. Unlike NSA's case where things were softly swept under the rug and hope that the media will forget. And on the topic, Snowden and his recent interview related to the CIA report below. Honestly i never follow the story before, and it's my first time listening to his interview. But i have to say, firstly, why his voice sounds so familiar... And secondly have to say he's a very educated individual, with a very strong and clear sense of justice that made me feel ashamed that he was just some ages older. I means even if you don't agree with what he said, he still make his point incredibly clear and logical. Unlike Julian Assange who seemed to be destroyed by his confinement, Snowden still seemed burning with passion, especially considering his current position. Hope he could come back home one day (or move to France if that petition passed)...

Very likely and with some possible assistance from the Chinese's hacking division as well. There will be one of those days when it will be nice to hear that hackers did some considerable damage from outside against North Korea.

NATO planes joined British hunt for submarine after periscope spotted off
Scottish nuclear base: "NATO patrol planes have helped Britain scour the waters off Scotland's west coast after a submarine's periscope was spotted, in a search reminiscent of the Cold War, according to media reports." See: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-12-1...marine/5959106 & http://aviationweek.com/defense/cana...arine-scotland First the Swedish incident, now this. I wonder if the British are starting to regret scrapping their Nimrod sub-hunting planes? |
