2007-11-05 20:59 Uncle Sam on the Line
By John Ashcroft, the United States attorney general from 2001 to 2005. He now heads a consulting firm that has telecommunications companies as clients (THE NEW YORK TIMES, 05/11/07): For almost two years, the country has debated whether the Bush administration acted properly and lawfully in undertaking emergency surveillance operations of suspected foreign terrorists on presidential authorization in the wake of 9/11. For several months, we have been debating bills that seek to modernize the For …

2007-11-05 10:59 A World Bank report kept under wraps brings fresh proof of the Bank's failure to work for developmen …
The High Court of Bannai has rejected Novartis' appeal against the Indian Patent Act, placing the Indian pharmaceutical sector in the limelight once again. This time, the issue is of fraudulent practices by pharmaceutical companies within the ambit of a project funded by the World Bank: the œReproductive and Child Health Project 1 (RCH1). A confidential report by the Department of Institutional Integrity INT (an internal wing of the Bank mandated to investigate the frauds in Bank-funded projec …

2007-11-05 09:50 Scrum for Managers: What is it. How is it different
Here it is. One sentence for management: Scrum is Lean Production for Product Development. I admit, this is an oversimplification, but it will get us started. Looking at it more deeply, Scrum is... Getting things done Before a task (a piece of functionality which is valuabe to the customer) is started, the Customer (through the œProduct Owner ) and the Supplier (the œTeam ) agree on clear goals to be achieved in a relatively short period of time. They also agree on the definition of "done". An …

2007-11-04 16:51 How to Rein in Iran Without War
By Jim Hoagland (THE WASHINGTON POST, 04/11/07): Iran is working to produce a 20-to-50-pound stockpile of enriched uranium that it can use to build atomic weapons within eight to 10 weeks, once it decides to do so - and has consistently lied to the United Nations about those efforts. That headline conclusion is one of two basic points that I draw from a series of private meetings on Iran 's nuclear ambitions involving diplomats, leading academic experts, senior military officers and experienced …

2007-11-04 12:01 Chili con carne
Vi ska göra chili con carne idag, och praktiskt nog har vi två bhut jolokia tillhands. En av dem lär bli använd, i alla fall. Det kommer finnas nybakat bröd till, så jag är inte så orolig. Följande text känns dock relevant i sammanhanget. Uppdatering: Hoppsan, det blev båda bhut jolokierna, samt en ivo lima. Det räckte bra till 1 kg köttfärs, 2.5 liter bönor och 3 burkar krossade tomater. Tyvärr glömde jag att ha i chokladpellets. Fan också. Notes from An Actual Inexperienced Chili Tester Named …

2007-11-04 00:01 Do You Pay People For Things You Could Do Yourself
As I was painting the kitchen walls a few weekends ago I realized that my husband and I rarely pay people for jobs that we can otherwise do ourselves. I will admit, particularly since my medical problems occurred, that my husband tends to do the majority of the physical labor around our house. He mows the lawn, trims the hedges, rakes the leaves, chops wood for winter fires, changes the oil in our cars, and fixes most minor electrical problems. He even makes minor home repairs like installing re …

2007-11-03 22:24 Just Another Idea Meant For NaNoWriMo.Org
Okay, so I can't get onto NaNoWriMo.org to post this, so you people here must endure me. I came up with this idea after my dad, who is an avid 9/11 conspiracy nut, showed me the footage of WTC 7 falling. Ladies and...ladies, I've got to admit that I'm a bit interested in the collapse. After all, it shouldn't have happened. The damage afterwards was also quite telling. My dad thinks it was a robbery since WTC was a financial stronghold for New York. I think that's a little far fetched, but …

2007-11-03 11:00 Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles Montage Trailer [Clip]
Unlike some of my esteemed colleagues, I'm quite looking forward to RE: Umbrella Chronicles. I've been a fan of rail shooters since House of the Dead and my very favorite, Carn-Evil. I've played RE:UC a few times now at various events with and without the Wii Zapper and while I enjoyed it, I will admit that I liked it better in co-op mode. Something about standing side by side with a friend, taking out zombies right and left with a well placed head shot that just makes my heart light up.

2007-11-01 08:39 Trent Reznor: "OiNK war so etwas wie der weltgrößte Plattenladen"
What do you think about OiNK being shut down Trent: I'll admit I had an account there and frequented it quite often. At the end of the day, what made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store. Pretty much anything you could ever imagine, it was there, and it was there in the format you wanted. If OiNK cost anything, I would certainly have paid, but there isn't the equivalent of that in the retail space right now. iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don't …

It's good to see that all the finest aspects of pro football were on display yesterday in London, where the Giants and Dolphins sloshed around in the mud for three hours before adjourning for fish and chips. But Mark Roberts (or, as the wire service captions identified him, "serial streaker Mark Roberts") gave us plenty of Uni Watch fodder, even with his abbreviated attire. Consider: NFL officials wear socks with two white stripes, but college and high school zebras wear socks with Northwestern …

Jihadister verden over er rasende på Al Jazeera fordi TV-stasjonen valgte å fokusere på Osama bin Ladens kritikk av Al Qaida i Irak i den siste radiomeldingen. Users of a leading Islamic militant Web forum posted thousands of insults against the pan-Arab station for focusing on excerpts in which bin Laden criticizes insurgents, including his followers. Analysts said the reaction highlighted militants' surprise at bin Laden's words, and their dismay at the deep divisions among al-Qaida and other …

The short œX is sentences we see quoted on our home page resemble court poems in ancient China (performed e.g. when one applied for a job) and the more famous Japanese haikus. They are written about (and for) the moment, destined to vanish in a day or two. Astonishing how fast some people developed in writing them. Some …

In an effort to get Wilson to admit to using it, House doses a coffee with amphetamine and then tricks Wilson into drinking it. Later on, we see Wilson experiencing all the effects of amphetamine as he can't focus, can't sit still and talks extremely fast. As he winks at a patient he is giving a breast exam to, he realizes he's been dosed. He confronts House about being depressed and House deman …

Mange tyrkere er grepet av en nasjonalistisk stemning som krever utløp i krig. Folk marsjerer i gatene i en blanding av begravelse og opptog. De høyreekstreme Grå Ulver har oppslutning, og ropet "Allah vil ha krig" høres. Det skumle er at dette også går ut over individuelle kurdere i hverdagen. Skulle Tyrkia invadere og miste mange soldater kan det bli riktig stygt. Dette må feks. den britiske regjering vite, likevel går man langt i å forstå tyrkerne. Ingen tør å advare mot et høyrenasjonalt hys …

Last night saw the premiere of the CBS drama "Viva Laughlin" the tale of a casino owner, who, while on the verge of opening "Viva" casino in Laughlin, finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation. I gotta admit I had low expectations for the show, but secretly hoped it would be awesome. I was pleasantly surprised by the show, its smart, strangely funny and different. Definitely give it a shot when it moves to its permanent time...

2007-10-23 15:10 Illusions of control=dangerous
From a systems point of view, I am almost always interested in situations where executives or government officials lose control by seeking it. The classic now is the Iraq war, where Bush/Cheney thought they could spread democracy across the middle east by focusing on one small autocratic nation, Iraq. The plan was to "seed democracy." On the other hand, they did not trust the local people. So they worked with the local leaders–some but not all–to create a hybrid of autocracy and demo …

As I click around personal finance blog sites I am always amazed by just how many bloggers are in debt. There are a lot of bloggers that write about how they got into debt, how they plan to get out of debt, what keeps them in debt, etc. Thanks to the wonderful gift of a college education, (thanks mom and dad), a good job out of college, and a general aversion, (more like a terrifying fear of owing money), I have never been in debt.

When it comes to music I'm a huge snob. Really. No kidding. I wrinkle my nose at pretty much anything that plays on the radio. I think of myself as a musical connoisseur and spend hours boning up my knowledge of various styles and bands that definitely will never be played on MTV. My girlfriend Ann-Sofie has several times called me a musical elitist, and I hate to admit that there's a large grain of truth in that. I do however like a very wide range of music.
