Tell Congress not to censor the internet NOW!
PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting “creativity”. The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites— they just have to convince a judge that the site is “dedicated to copyright infringement.” The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill. According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that’s for a fix that won’t work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights.

A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 - 3 Times Faster
From YouTube:
Great work done by this man. This is a must see by anyone. People have been clueless to the fact that nuclear bombs have been going on right in their back yard. Including not too many counties away from me a couple have been tested. Anyways, I wish I did not have to speed the video up 3x but people attention spans these days don’t seem to be very long and I want as many people to see this as possible. However, I will also have the full 15 min version available. Here’s the article it came from: “Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project’s “Trinity” test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan’s nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea’s two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear). Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing”the fear and folly of nuclear weapons.” It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming.”http://www.ctbto.org/specials/1945-1998-by-isao-hashimoto/
People never hate software as much as they ought. they don’t know how much better things ought to be.
On Failure: People don’t fail, they give up! You’re on the road to success when you realise that failure is only a detour. The glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time you fall. Success is the proper utilisation of failure. If you’ve never failed you’ve never tried. Failure is not the worst thing in the world the very worst is not to try.
