I really enjoyed the Light Cycle race in Tron- so instead of naming this the Tron Legacy Review- I call this Light cycle review.
The movie is a geek must check it out- and the mix of music, models,cars, and lights can be heady at first. The younger Jeff Bridges looks like a BeoWolf, and his son is ok. But Olivia Wilde is nice- and the cars and bikes are superb. If you like playing video games then check out the free game at http://armagetronad.net/downloads.php Its called Armagedtron.
And boy the 80s was a great time for pop music and video games.
In a world of experts-some questions to ask about China’s foreign policy , trade and military convergence
1) How can an increasingly rich 1.2 billion people accept a restricted internet, one child policies, and severe political restrictions/
2) How long can the Chinese respect for elders and ancestors be translated to a respect for the communist government? How do you measure the level of satisfaction?
3) Can ambitious Chinese Mandarins be motivated by career motives to act tougher than the country’s national interest demands?
4) Rare earth demand and supply curves? Clean energy investments versus climate change commitments graph?
5)Military- Metrics like Chinese Air Force flying hours per pilot, or submarine activity per annum?
As the Chinese supposedly said- May you live in interesting times
It has always surprised me- how my American friends who passionately support the First Amendment kind of always oppose the Second Amendment and vice versa. Being a non American- I would always take the Fifth.
An earlier Wikileak video of killing two Reuters Employees-and I am not sure who is right- American govt for restricting access to federal employees or Chinese govt for restricting access to Nobel peace prize.
or all the Govts of the world for all the cables they write. and all the journalists for all the stories they tell.
Facts we would always place before our readers, whether they are palatable or not, and it is by placing them constantly before the public in their nakedness that the misunderstanding between the two communities in South Africa can be removed.
In this instance of the fire-arms, the Asiatic has been most improperly bracketed with the native. The British Indian does not need any such restrictions as are imposed by the Bill on the natives regarding the carrying of fire-arms. The prominent race can remain so by preventing the native from arming himself. Is there a slightest vestige of justification for so preventing the British Indian?
Comments on a court case in The Indian Opinion (25 March 1905)
Had we adopted non-violence as the weapon of the strong, because we realised that it was more effective than any other weapon, in fact the mightiest force in the world, we would have made use of its full potency and not have discarded it as soon as the fight against the British was over or we were in a position to wield conventional weapons. But as I have already said, we adopted it out of our helplessness. If we had the atom bomb, we would have used it against the British.
Speech (16 June 1947) as the official date for Indian independence approached (15 August 1947) , as quoted in Mahatma Gandhi : The Last Phase (1958) by Pyarelal, p. 326. The last sentence of this statement has sometimes been quoted as if it was being made as an affirmation of extreme hostility to the British, rather than as part of an affirmation of the strength of non-violence, and the ultimate weakness of those who needlessly resort to violence if it is within their power.
One of the objects of a newspaper is to understand popular feeling and to give expression to it; another is to arouse among the people certain desirable sentiments; and the third is fearlessly to expose popular defects
The non-violent state will be an ordered anarchy. That State is the best governed which is governed the least.
in the middle of essential and inevitable tasks restless inner conscience wakens and asks stuck again today to the computer are we now please remind me this state we reached how
oh we had bills to pay student loans to repay once we got hooked t’was easy to be carried away just a matter of time before inevitable voices query this is my machine that I want to marry
I spend more time with him/her as it is the Machinery is devoted with focused loyalties meanwhile the non machine world goes round strives forth on things less profound
as we stroke the keys and click the mouse machine addictions will only add to human grouse
