Danish police shoot 'terrorist' trying to enter Mohammed cartoonist's home
Danish police have shot a Somali man linked to al-Qaida who tried to enter the home of an artist who drew controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.
Don't bring an ax and a knife to a gun fight!

President Obama notices that al Qaeda exists and they sent the Pantybomber:



Obama blames al-Qaeda for Christmas Day jet 'bomb'

He said it appeared Yemen-based al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula had armed and trained the accused, 23-year-old Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

Update September 14, 2010: Pantybomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab wants to defend himself and has fired his lawyer.

Interesting Slashdot Story About Personal Info

Fourth-party data brokers to bypass fourth amendment

Congress reacted to these (US Supreme Court) holdings by creating a patchwork of statutes designed to prevent the government's direct and unfettered access to documents stored with third-parties; thus, the government's access is fettered by various statutory requirements, including, in many cases, notice of the disclosure.

Blackwater Shooting Charges Dismissed by Judge

Blackwater Charges Dismissed

Citing repeated government missteps, U.S. District Judge Ricardo Urbina dismissed a case that had been steeped in international politics. The shooting in busy Nisoor Square left 17 Iraqis dead and inflamed anti-American sentiment abroad. The Iraqi government wanted the guards to face trial in Iraq and officials there said they would closely watch how the U.S. judicial system handled the case.

Good for our rights on so many levels.

Neil Stephenson's "Turn On, Tune In, Veg Out"

An interesting comment in an email pointed me to this Slashdot story, which was good but I have no strong opinion either way on it.  It did have an interesting link to a Neil Stephenson article from 2005, Turn On, Tune In, Veg Out.

It is a critique of a Star Wars movie that was just released.  His criticism was more toward the movie itself not having much "geek" in it, all veg.  Maybe a little more of a critique of the method.

Post Origional 3 SW movies all sorts of TV shows, books and other products were produced that developed a rich background for the movies to be based on.  Neal describes an early scene in one of the newer movies where the Jedi board a ship and fight a lot, then take the ship over.  The problem he notices is that noplace in the movie is it revealed who owns the ship!  I caught the theme of Socialism vs. Free Market from Neal'sdescription, but that is a different issue.

Full disclosure, I am a fan of Mr. Stephenson, Snowcrash is one of my favorite books ever.  I am not a Star Wars follower, but I have seen the first two movies.  I was unaware that the movie franchise had done what Neal describes so extensively.

Something I did with the Suki Series was put the background to the story online, but I was trying to avoid what Neal describes in his article.  In the books I think I have enough descriptions of gadgets, cars, clothes and the general environment to have complete stories.  I also began this blog and got Suki to help (she helped with everything and is too modest about it) to get into the super geeky details.  She even started her own blog for ultra geek things related to the books.

For example, I think I describe "gogs" well and I never bothered to Google the term.  It just seemed like an appropriate term for glasses with a view screen, but I didn't want to take up pages of book space for it, so the details are here and at SukiSite.com.  I wanted the story to be focused on the characters and their relationship.  Very little of it is affected by world events, in the beginning, so that stuff is here and on the website too.  When world events invade their lives that is in the books and not much mention of it here.

Anyway, go check Neal's article.  It is very good, just like everything else he writes.  I am hoping that the method I used is beneficial to the readers.  The bits of feedback I have gotten so far are mostly positive and yes, I know the SukiSite.com page is "plain and ugly," it is supposed to be that way ;)  Fast loading, clean, etc.

NYT and LAT Morning Whine

Spotted in this Slashdot story:


Sorry, Shoppers, but Why Can’t Amazon Collect More Tax?

Amazon has found a way to put portions of its business into the tax-haven equivalent of reservations. By creating wholly owned subsidiaries for the parts that are treated separately for tax matters, Amazon is under no obligation to collect sales tax. This legal technique is called “entity isolation,” said Michael Mazerov, a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.
They are following the complicated laws in an efficient manner, with the help of some very expensive lawyers. What's the problem?

Poor, Downtrodden Terrorist News

Amy Alkon has some great comments and her readers offer some too.

From her linked article in the Independent: Abdulmutallab, 23, had lived a gilded life, and, for the three years he studied in London, he stayed in a £2m flat.


Jesse Walker has this at Reason: 



Security Theater: A New Show Opens In Detroit

With the Bruce Schneier money quote: Only two things have made flying safer [since 9/11]: the reinforcement of cockpit doors, and the fact that passengers know now to resist hijackers.

Also at Reason, Tim Cavanaugh with:



Open Thread: TSA To Keep Us Safe From Nigerian Terrorists, Bankers' Sons, 419 Scammers


Since everybody seems to want to talk about the latest inTransportation Safety Administration foolproofitude, here's your chance.
Possible topics:
Liquids banned. Solids banned. Will gases be banned next?
If you're not allowed to keep anything on your lap, do barf bags and in-flight magazines become attractive nuisances?


Other reports mention that Abdulmutallab hid his PETN explosives in his underwear.

If you were looking for Hijab porn, look here.  Not Safe For Work!
