It can fairly be said that Kama Sutra has a way of bringing things together, but does this also apply to computer viruses? The Cyberiter thinks so, and says it’s time for someone to develop a dose of digital penicillin. written by J Square Humboldt
DXinOne --- those dudes in Vanuatu who brought us the digot as an e-currency --- keep adding to their infrastructure, and this time they’re going mainstream. They’ve not only announced that they’re going to license their exchangers, they’re going to do it by putting their own spin on the Internet Café concept. Their innovative e-conomy is coming to the physical world. If nothing else, DXinOne doesn’t lack ambition. written by J Square Humboldt
It’s finally emerged that the USA had an opportunity to fire a robo-rocket at Osama bin Laden recently, except that he was in Pakistan and their government didn’t give permission in time to do the deed. So, why should the Americans be thanking them? written by J Square Humboldt
Some people in this world chase a lifestyle that is, literally and figuratively, ‘out there.’ While such a path can have disastrous consequences on their own mortality, could it possibly be of any benefit for the rest of us? Perhaps. written by J Square Humboldt
FBI raids are certain to grab headlines. That can raise an ethical question, though, if the possibility exists that the purpose of the raid is for its intimidating effect as much as it is to grab wrongdoers. Could this be the case in raids involving two e-currency companies? written by J Square Humboldt
If ever there was a time to attract new television viewer to hockey in America, it is now. NBC Sports has done a brilliant job of making the NHL ‘Must See TV’ on Saturday afternoons. The reason why is simple: they’re making the game easier to experience. written by J Square Humboldt
When is it wrong to be right? In this ever-shrinking world, foreign-based names can be an issue for those who value accuracy. So, when the issue arises, do you show what you know or go with the flow? written by J Square Humboldt
Cyberspace is still rife with offers claiming huge profits can be obtained by investing now in Iraqi dinar. Their logic sounds good --- that currency’s value can only go higher than it is now --- but the latest announcement from the American government indicates that such a move could be a long time coming. written by J Square Humboldt
Words and sports often make strange bedfellows. This can even be evident when those in the game think they’re making sense. However, sense is one thing, context is another. written by J Square Humboldt
Whoever said, "You can't take it with you" was obviously not referring to a sense of humor. Here is a list of actual epitaphs from departed souls who clearly had more to say than the time to say it, or from their next of kin, who wanted to be sure they literally had the last word. written by J Square Humboldt
The English language can be an effective tool, but it’s definitely a learning process that many in cyberspace haven’t bothered to complete. Could those writers have spent more time paying attention to detail when they were young? Probably. However, this did allow a few of them to pen an array of unintentional witticisms. written by J Square Humboldt
It’s time to raise a glass to what’s in the glass, if what’s in the glass is beer. This legendary liquid has made its effects felt in many ways, including our language. Here are a few of the more obscure examples. written by J Square Humboldt
One of the world’s most distinctive holidays is Sweden’s Luciafest. A celebration of light that arose from pagan beginnings to become one of the year’s most popular services, Luciafest embodies more than Swedish tradition. It’s an example of how Christianity used local legends to spread its appeal. written by J Square Humboldt
Times change, and with them, so do the words and phrases people use. As if the English language wasn’t enough of a muddle with morphed meanings and period phrases, now the era of cyberspace has created new terms at an astounding pace. The need for a comprehensive slang dictionary is thus more acute than ever. Given the resources available on the Internet, it’s only natural that one has emerged. written by J Square Humboldt
The latest natural disasters may not still be the latest news. To those who were affected by them, though, the aftermath is much more than a headline. These are stories that we cannot push to the back pages or the backs of our minds. written by J Square Humboldt
Being hacked or being cracked makes little difference to those on the receiving end. Understandably, their first impulses are to get mad and want to vent. The Cyberiter's contention is that, most of the time, they're lashing out in the wrong direction. After all, crooks are crooks; that's their job. Prevention is your job, so know the fundamentals of diligence. written by J Square Humboldt
The Ramones made their name as cult punks with a searing sound. They made history as a major influence in modern rock. Now, a larger audience has a second chance to find out why. written by J Square Humboldt
Sports is best when it is viewed for what it is, which is sports. It's not politics and it shouldn't be a platform for causes that serve self-appointed spokesmen, to the detriment of the overall cause. So, why is mascot controversy a social issue that just won't go away? Perhaps it's because the bigger picture needs more focus. written by J Square Humboldt
Jon Stewart has become a very influential political voice in the media, and he's an unabashed comedian. That speaks well of him, but what does it say about the American media? written by J Square Humboldt
They say history repeats itself. Here's an example of it doing so in the 23rd century world of Star Trek: The Next Generation. However, have the series writers opted instead to revise the past? It seems their target is none other than the legacy of the Vikings. << previous page 1 next page>> |
