I got the census form in the mail the other day, and, just now, sat down to fill it out online. I filled out my name and said that, including me, there are 2 people living here. However, when I filled out my wife’s name and hit enter, it vanished, and kept being prompted to enter a second name. I tried this both on Safari on my Mac, and on Firefox on a Linux machine. The same thing happened. Has anyone else had this problem? If it’s widespread (and even if not), it’s a disaster. How could their programmers get something so simple so wrong?

On Saturday (Feb 2, 2013) my sweetie and I went to see the musical
"Fiorello" at the New York City Center "Encores" presentation. This
was my second time seeing it: the first time was in May, 1961, when I
saw Tom Bosley (better known to the public as "Howard Cunningham" on
"Happy Days") play the late New York mayor. At that time LaGuardia
had been mayor only 15 years before (before my time), and it seemed
like most of the audience were fans. I do remember the spontaneous
applause that came from the audience when a picture of FDR was shown
in a newsreel on the stage.

In today's Washington Times:

Congressman Peter Hoekstra, the lead Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, has urged President Barack Obama to launch a "show of force or strength" against North Korea, for its alleged part in a series of distributed denial-of-service attacks in the last week.

however, Sophos security -- a well respected cyber security company, says in their security blog http://www.sophos.com/...

There's only one problem with what Hoekstra says - it's complete nonsense.

No evidence has been produced showing that the government of North Korea are behind the denial-of-service attacks. As I explained in an earlier blog post, a hacker can be based anywhere on Earth and command a worldwide botnet to bombard websites with traffic.

Despite Hoekstra's claims - attacks like these don't need the backing of the state. They can just as easily be co-ordinated by a 16 year old boy working alone in his back bedroom.

Typical Repub response: shoot first, ask questions later.

The newest issue of the IEEE Spectrum (IEEE = Institute for Electronic and Electrical Engineers) has an interesting article about the technological revolution in China. One item caught my eye: Read More
