«Torrenti.lv» lietotājiem uztraukumam nav pamata, šis viss tika vērsts pret mani kā personu, kas piedalās «torrenti.lv» uzturēšanā un informācija par lietotājiem nav pieprasīta un papildus tam – visu lietotāju IP adreses kļūdas dēļ izdzēsās. Laikam jau smadzeņu satricinājums vainīgs pie tā, ka šādi neuzmanīgi apgājos ar datubāzi.

The Internet is basically a peacetime playground for the kind of arrogant young males who, in past centuries, would have been willing cannon-fodder for the army. Society has started to learn that being at war with your neighbors is stupid and counterproductive, but the cannon-fodder continues to be born and grow up. Their raging hormones need an outlet, so they become obsessed with FPS shoot-up games, hacking and cracking, robotically editing Wikipedia, and other such non-careers. Society evidently finds botnet operators to be more “acceptable” than outright street thugs mugging people randomly — but there really isn’t much difference.

protams, Kiriakou ir tāds pats politieslodzītais, kā visi citi, mazāk demokrātiskās valstīs.
protams, ņujorkeris dod mājienus par to, ka viņš ir sakašķējies ar bijušajiem un tikai tāpēc dabūjis pa kaklu.

bet vispār ir jau gan kretīns: "Kiriakou won a partial scholarship to George Washington University, in Washington, D.C., where he enrolled in Middle Eastern studies. He and his roommate, Ed Hanvitv, used to dress up in business suits and stalk Capitol Hill, seeking autographs from politicians."
un apsūdzētāji tādi paši kretīni: ""He's clearly not a whistle-blower," MacBride said, noting that Kiriakou did not emerge as a dissenter trom inside the C.I.A.'s interrogation program. "He didn't water-board, nor was he one oi the interrogators. He knew about it. Well, I'm sure a lot of people knew about it."

Life is like a rollercoaster
It does flips and throws you over
Board your ship that's going nowhere
If you stop, you'll end up somewhere

Now everybody wants to go to California
To live their life on a sunny day
Dreaming of someone else's kids and wife
But they'll be bringing you the same old strife

Everyone wants to go to Jamaica
Queens in drag will surely fake you
Take you home, and then they'll rape you
But you like it, so say 'thank you'

Everyone wants to go to Iraq
But once they go, they don't come back
Bringing peanut butter jelly and other snacks
We might have our freedom, but we're still on crack

Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.

Alright
See-line woman
She drink coffee
She drink tea
And then go home

See-line woman
See-line woman
Dressed in green
Wears silk stockings
With golden seams

See-line woman
See-line woman
Dressed in red
Make a man
Lose his head

See-line woman
See-line woman
Black dress on
For a thousand dollars
She wail and she moan

See-line woman
Wiggle wiggle
Turn like a cat
Wink at a man
And he wink back

Now child
See-line woman
Empty his pockets
And wreck his days
Make him love her
And she'll fly away

See-line woman
Take it on out now
Empty his pockets
And she wreck his days
And she make him love her
Then she sure fly away

She got a black dress on
For a thousand dollars
She wail and she moan...

Drūma filma, bet ar sajūtamu cilvēkmīlestību. Un Adriens Brodijs.

Examples of this in everyday life:

Oh, I, need to be pretty to be happy.
I need surgery to be pretty.
I need to be thin
Famous
Fashionable

Our young men, today,
are being told that women
are whores;
bitches, things to be screwed,
beaten,
shit on,
ashamed.

This is a marketing holocaust.

24 hours a day,
for the rest of our lives,
the powers that be
are hard at work
dumbing us
to death.

So, to defend ourselves
and fight against assimilating this
dullness into our thought processes,
we must learn to read
to stimulate our own imagination;
to cultivate
our own consciousness,
our own belief system.

We all need these skills
to defend
to preserve
our own minds.

http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/12/10/10/0259246/mysterious-algorithm-was-4-of-trading-activity-last-week?utm_source=commentcnt&utm_medium=feed#

So it is possible to create a large volume of "trades" without actually ever buying or selling anything? I am surprised that isn't gamed on regular basis

It is and this is the basis of high frequency trading... though on Wallstreet they call it "providing liquidity". It works like this:

Alice wants to sell 1000 shares of Acme Corp. She places an sell order for 1000 shares at $25.00 on the exchange, but she also places a minimum bid of $23.90 on the sell order. This minimum bid what Alice is willing to accept should someone counter-offer but is suppose to be secret, only the sell price will be published.

Bob is looking for 1000 shares of Acme Corp. He wants to place it in his portfolio for long-term growth, but he thinks it is currently worth less. Bob places a general buy order at $24.40 on the exchange. For the sake of simplicity we will say that is his only price, though he too could have a maximum bid he is will to pay.

So there is a sell order at $25.00 and a buy order at $24.40 pending on the exchange, nothing trades. Now Bob could make a buy offer to Alice at $24.40 and the trade would go thru, or Alice could make a sell offer to Bob at a lower price and follow thru. In a perfect world the exchange would figure it out and match the orders... but that doesn't happen without further action on the part of Alice or Bob.

Eve is a high frequency trader... Actually, Eve is a high frequency trading program at MegaTraders LLC. and has spotted that there are buy and sell orders for Acme Corp on the exchange. Eve places a bid at $24.99 for Alice's share, the exchange accepts, and then Eve immediately cancels the bid order. Eve has just learned that Alice is will to sell for less than the sell order posted. Eve then continues placing bids on Alice's stock, $24.98, $24.97, $24.96, etc., each time immediately canceling the buy when the exchange accepts the bid. Eve gets down to $23.89, at which point the exchange does not accept the bid for Alice's stock. Eve has just learned that Alice is willing to sell for as little as $23.90 and all of this has happened within 10s of milliseconds.

Remember all those articles on Slashdot about high frequency firm X laying their own fiber directly to the exchange to cut milliseconds off transit time? Having custom L2 firmware on their switches and no firewalls on their trading links to cut milliseconds off transit time? This is why they do it, so they can submit hundreds/thousands of buy/sell/cancel orders on a single stock within a fraction of a second to learn pricing differences between orders that otherwise should be secret.

So Eve now knows that Alice is will to sell for $23.90 and would perform the same procedure against Bob to discover his highest buy price. Once found Eve can now see a price difference advantages to herself. Eve buys the 1000 shares from Alice at $23.90 and then immediately sells the shares to Bob at $24.40, pocketing the $500 difference. On Wallstreet they call this "providing liquidity", anywhere else this would be considered insider trading and illegal. Multiple all this by several hundred firms with special inside access to the market place, each running their own competing Eve programs, and you quickly realize how the market can go into turmoil within seconds....

Researchers presenting at Defcon next week have developed a psychopathy prediction model for Twitter. It analyzes linguistic tells to rate users' levels of narcissism, machiavellianism and other similarities to Patrick Bateman. 'The FBI could use this to flag potential wrongdoers, but I think it's much more compelling for psychologists to use to understand large communities of people,' says Chris Sumner of the Online Privacy Foundation. Some of the Twitter clues: Curse words. Angry responses to other people, including swearing and use of the word "hate." Using the word "we." Using periods. Using filler words such as 'blah' and 'I mean' and 'um.' So, um, yeah.

The incentive to create a business is to make money. Once your market saturation crosses a tipping point, the only way to further increase profits is to exploit, rather than serve your market. So you engage in monopolization, rent-seeking, and so on.

This is how business has always worked. This is an entirely predictable outcome of basic human nature. It should not be surprising at all. Nor, for the most part, should it be upsetting. We should simply expect that once the businesses get huge like this, we will have to either break them up or heap some government regulation on them in order to protect ourselves from them. We will *always* have to do this, so, let's get busy.

They have to understand
That there's a certain energy
On this planet
That keep people tuned in
To a better life
Some people call it God
Some people call it Shiva
You can call it anything you want
But there is an energy
That a person should attempt
To tune into
So that they can feel connected
And free
And that they can fulfill their dreams
And for me
That was
That was the only way
You got me
Emotional
