Adults.

If, after all of this, you can tell me that innocence is more valuable, that somehow your child knowing anything about sex or their bodies is detrimental to them so you’d rather they know nothing, if you can tell me that it’s more godly that they are kept in the dark, then I want you to tell me, right now, that you are okay with the children who are sexually abused within this silence. That you are okay with the knowledge that your child might have already been sexually abused and unable to tell you, and you appreciate the silence far more than their protection. (As a sidenote: asking an “innocent” child whether they have been abused won’t tell you anything if you haven’t equipped them with the knowledge of what that could even mean and if they have no knowledge of whether what happened to them could be construed as wrong or not.) If you are fine with teaching children that they are yours and that you have ultimate power and authority over everything including the say over their bodies, then I want you to tell me you are absolutely fine with sexual abuse. Because no matter what kinds of logical leaps you can make to justify these beliefs, that is what you believe. And church, I hold you, and your culture, and your disgusting, elitist, worthless praising of innocence responsible for these lives. And until you and conservative Christianity changes, I will never see you as anything more than an abusive culture, willing to sacrifice children in pain for your own selfish illusions that “innocence” is any kind of protection, and has anything to do with morality. // My thoughts exactly. ]]> essay article children/parenting brainwashing child-abuse paedophilia sexual-abuse feminism religion christianity anti-christianity anti-religion morality/ethics logic-is-dead humans-are-stupid language:english https://pinboard.in/u:M-L-E/b:38b6bfc324dd/ 2011-12-05T01:27:03+00:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ31YhOf74A M-L-EReligion can and does cause literal brain damage, and that that damage can be difficult if not impossible to repair if not addressed early in life.

Further, if you follow all these rules religiously, you will even guarantee yourself a lifetime of employment, since no one but you has a hope in hell of maintaining the code. Then again, if you followed all these rules religiously, even you wouldn't be able to maintain the code! You don't want to overdo this. Your code should not look hopelessly unmaintainable, just be that way.

By looking for wireless access points that are close to a user’s phone, location providers can return the approximate location you need. In addition, this method is a good alternative to other approaches, like GPS, because it’s faster, it works indoors, and it’s more battery-efficient. // ...Right.

At present few of these third parties offer a reliable tracking opt out, and tools for blocking them are neither user-friendly nor comprehensive. Much like the popular Do Not Call registry, Do Not Track provides users with a single, simple, persistent choice to opt out of third-party web tracking. Do Not Track signals a user's opt-out preference with an HTTP header, a simple technology that is completely compatible with the existing web. Several large third parties have already committed to honor Do Not Track, but many more have been recalcitrant. We believe regulation is necessary to verify and enforce compliance with a user’s choice to opt out of tracking. ]]> internet data-privacy internet/law general software security/privacy language:english https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:M-L-E/b:ebb9fa490846/ 2011-11-25T11:22:16+00:00 http://www.unblock-us.com/ M-L-EENJOY FREEDOM OF ACCESS TO BLOCKED INTERNET CONTENT ANYWHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD!

You’re enjoying yourself, kicking back and relaxing at the pub or maybe at the library; or maybe you’re in class or just casually surfing the internet, indulging in a little conversation. The topic of the conversation is about a pertinent contemporary issue, probably something to do with a group of people who fall outside your realm of experience and identity. They’re also probably fairly heavily discriminated against - or so they claim. The thing is, you’re having a good time, sharing your knowledge about these people and their issues. This knowledge is incontrovertible - it’s been backed up in media representation, books, research and lots and lots of historical events, also your own unassailable sense of being right. Yet all of a sudden something happens to put a dampener on your sharing of your enviable intellect and incomparable capacity to fully perceive and understand All Things. It’s someone who belongs to the group of people you’re discussing and they’re Not Very Happy with you. Apparently, they claim, you’ve got it all wrong and they’re offended about that. They might be a person of colour, or a queer person. Maybe they’re a woman, or a person with disability. They could even be a trans person or a sex worker. The point is they’re trying to tell you they know better than you about their issues and you know that’s just plain wrong. How could you be wrong? ]]> article essay general feminism racism sexism language:english <13.000 https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:M-L-E/b:87fb96f04b22/ 2011-11-13T19:42:33+00:00 http://chronicle.com/article/College-20-Fear-of/129049/ M-L-EComputer networks proved their organizing power during the recent uprisings in the Middle East, in which Facebook pages amplified street protests that toppled dictators. But those same networks showed their weaknesses as well, such as when the Egyptian government walled off most of its citizens from the Internet in an attempt to silence protesters. That has led scholars and activists increasingly to consider the Internet's wiring as a disputed political frontier. ]]> article general education/information data-privacy language:english internet/law law/politics security/privacy internet https://pinboard.in/u:M-L-E/b:6fd012736557/ 2011-11-13T18:41:01+00:00 http://arkandis.tuxfamily.org/ M-L-E fonts opensource via:heathen language:english https://pinboard.in/u:M-L-E/b:20b8c1860455/ 2011-11-13T18:40:43+00:00 http://www.heatonresearch.com/content/non-mathematical-introduction-using-neural-networks M-L-EThe goal of this article is to help you understand what a neural network is, and how it is used. Most people, even non-programmers, have heard of neural networks. There are many science fiction overtones associated with them. And like many things, sci-fi writers have created a vast, but somewhat inaccurate, public idea of what a neural network is. ]]> tutorial article general neural-networks artificial-intelligence education/information language:english https://pinboard.in/u:M-L-E/b:9dafb0c57a5c/ 2011-11-13T18:26:18+00:00 http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/1034096--judge-agrees-to-fast-track-trial-for-woman-challenging-right-to-die-laws M-L-EVANCOUVER—A terminally ill woman who wants to fast-track her trial seeking to overturn Canada’s current right-to-die laws will have her case heard in November.
