You have to me careful, with these kind of discussions, in NZ you only have to feel that you are Maori to be Maori.

My experiences with Windows are similar, and I think, par for the course. But then I use Mac.

By way of comparison - When I did the marriage papers in The Glorious People's Republic, not only were there great piles of manila folders full of papers in the office, on every surface and in every nook and cranny, the two uniformed women officers, laboriously, hand copied each of my 20 + 2~3 page documents onto identical forms. Like this - "Is this your name?" - points at my document - "Yes" - writes name on new paper. "Is this your address?" - points at my document- "Yes" - writes address on new paper. "Is this your phone?" - points at my document- "Yes" - writes phone on new paper. "Is this your email?" - points at my document- "Yes" - writes email on new paper. and so on. It took nearly three hours. My friends did not believe me. If they had a photocopier it must have been reserved for the elite...

Sense of entitlement, not exclusive to LOS, but that sums up the Thai mentality in toto.

Patient being tested for Ebola in Perth hospital A patient is being tested for the deadly Ebola virus in Perth's Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. "The hospital can confirm it has one patient who is currently being tested for Ebola and appropriate precautions are being taken until the patient's illness is diagnosed," a hospital spokeswoman said. The spokeswoman said the patient's symptoms were consistent with the disease. She said no further details would be provided about the patient for reasons of confidentiality. It is the second suspected case of the disease in WA but the previous case proved negative. The spokeswoman said: "At present, the risk of someone with Ebola travelling to Australia is very low.

iOS 8 Security Laughs at Search Warrants - http://www.tapscape....earch-warrants/ ronaldcarlson | On 18, Sep 2014 Apple has upped the digital privacy ante by taking itself out of game. How’s that? If the police serve Apple with a search warrant for the data on your iPhone 6 Plus, with the new iOS 8 security policy, Apple can’t give the police anything. Wow? Yeah, wow! Yes, Tim Cook has published an open letter to the public, and the police, lawing down the company’s iOS 8 security policy and it is very much a breath of fresh air. “Unlike our competitors, Apple cannot bypass your passcode and therefore cannot access this data,†writes Apple’s Cook. “So it’s not technically feasible for us to respond to government warrants for the extraction of this data from devices in their possession running iOS 8.†Suck it NSA? In this post-Snowden age, those words will be music to many people’s ears. iOS 8 Security: Nothing to Hide? As nude celebrity photos spilled onto the web over the weekend, blame for the scandal has rotated from the scumbag hackers who stole the images to a researcher who released a tool used to crack victims’ iCloud passwords to Apple, whose security flaws may have made that cracking exploit possible in the first place. But one step in the hackers’ sext-stealing playbook has been ignored—a piece of software designed to let cops and spies siphon data from iPhones, but is instead being used by pervy criminals themselves — Wired. Previously, Apple said it could provide law enforcement with call, SMS, photo, GPS, etc data. Now, even with a search warrant from the police, etc., iOS 8 security means Apple can do nothing. Granted, a technically savvy government, corporation or even individual could possibly get around Apple’s new iOS 8 security policy (ie via pairing records). Further, it will be unsurprising if law enforcement et al try to force the issue with Apple in the courts. And, of course, the US Congress has more than played along with the NSA and other supra national actors in the past (ie Patriot Act). “Our business model is very straightforward: We sell great products,†adds Apple’s Cook. “We don’t build a profile based on your email content or web browsing habits to sell to advertisers.†Apple isn’t perfect, far from it. However, it would be more than nice if Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, Samsung, HTC, Huawei, etc adopted iOS 8 security-like policies of their own… What’s your take?

"We will ask the FBI to help identify the DNA in the semen we found - whether it belonged to an Asian or European," It'll be interesting to see if they can further point to ethnicity, i.e. Thai, Burmese, Viet etc...

Can't help but feel the second one is ah, er, enhanced...

Maybe the police are confused because the perp is not dressed like a criminal

The article I saw said that the team were killed because the locals had a widespread fear and belief that Ebola was something the whites had dreamed up to get rid of the blacks, ergo, kill anyone that was associated with it.

Shanghai 2010 - Good movie, very accurate feel (what would I know ) of WWII Shanghai. Worth a watch.

Whilst I am in favour of all-male places like this golf club becoming open to all, can anyone tell me why some Gyms are able to be women only?

These guys are obviously not trying to hide. They're not using names like Bob Green and sporting clean shaven faces, the life of a surveillance officer must be very easy... The articles: __________ A series of pre-dawn raids by 800 counter-terrorism police across Sydney and Brisbane may have thwarted a plot by a terror cell to kidnap and behead a random member of the public. One man has been charged with serious terrorism-related offences and another 14 detained following the pre-emptive strike, which comes after Australia's outgoing spy chief, ASIO director David Irvine, last Friday raised the terror alert level to "high" amid fears of an attack on home soil. It's understood court documents filed by police will allege an attack was imminent and involved plans to snatch a member of the public in Sydney, before draping them in an Islamic State flag and beheading them on camera, the ABC and other local media have reported. more... and The 22-year-old Sydney man arrested in the nation's largest counter-terrorism operation allegedly conspired with Australia's most senior Islamist militant to launch a deadly attack on a random passerby, court documents show. According to the documents, police intercepted a phone call between the arrested Omarjan Azari and Mohammad Ali Baryalei - who is alleged to have recruited half of the 60 Australians fighting in the Middle East - two days ago. The account said Baryalei ordered him to carry out an attack which Sydney Central Local Court heard was "clearly designed to shock, horror and terrify the community". more.. and... The emerging reality of terrorism in Australia struck home just before dawn today when more than 800 police launched synchronised raids on houses and vehicles across Sydney's west and north-west, and Brisbane's south. The raids foiled a plot involving a man believed to be Australia's most senior Islamic State member who called contacts in Australia and asked them to carry out a campaign of random public beheadings in Sydney and Brisbane, the ABC understands. Mohammad Ali Baryalei, a former Kings Cross bouncer and part-time actor, is understood to have made the instruction to kidnap people in Brisbane and Sydney and have them executed on camera. That video was then to be sent back to IS's media unit, where it would be publicly released. more...
