"Third parties seem out of touch with reality, the refuge of idealists with dreams too fragile for the trenches of major party politics. But Democratic skeptics, at least, shouldn’t be too quick to judge. One state is now on the way to single-payer health care, and a third party deserves much of the credit."

This is may all-time second favorite Slashdot interview: "Re:Belize by Anonymous Coward
Whatever happened to your girlfriend Samantha? Why didn't she leave the country with you after running from authorities?
[John] McAfee: Within a few days of my exit from Guatemala she was happily engaged in the monumental task of seducing every male, and female, in Southern Guatemala. It was an extravagant objective and one which, given the population density of the region, had a limited chance of success, I felt. I ran the numbers by her but she tirelessly kept at this task, with no letup. She entertained me throughout with her stories and outrageously effective pickup lines. While she was thus entertaining herself I hired lawyer after lawyer to get her a visa with no success. Ultimately we mutually agreed to abandon the pursuit, whereupon she moved back to Belize and, with perseverance and courage, began the same process with Orange Walk district as her objective. There is some slight probability that she could succeed. After it was over I tattoo’d her name on my back, along with the name of total stranger who I met in the tattoo shop - and who I have not seen since."

"The warning about the bug in OpenSSL coincided with the release of version 1.0.1g of the open-source program, which is the default cryptographic library used in the Apache and nginx Web server applications, as well as a wide variety of operating systems and e-mail and instant-messaging clients. The bug, which has resided in production versions of OpenSSL for more than two years, could make it possible for people to recover the private encryption key at the heart of the digital certificates used to authenticate Internet servers and to encrypt data traveling between them and end users. Attacks leave no traces in server logs, so there's no way of knowing if the bug has been actively exploited. Still, the risk is extraordinary, given the ability to disclose keys, passwords, and other credentials that could be used in future compromises."

"I support the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a physical building. It’s a pleasant structure in which to walk around. There’s a futuristic room where you can lie on the floor and watch videos on a massive TV, and it’s right next to the Great Lakes Science Center (so you can visit both venues without reparking your car). Of course, as an institution, the Rock Hall is totally devoid of meaning. But this is no one’s fault. There’s no way the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame could ever be definitive or authoritative, simply because there’s no shared consensus over what rock music is supposed to do. Say what you will about the Baseball Hall of Fame, but at least we all agree on the point of the game it celebrates. We know that individual success at baseball reflects (a) the ability to generate runs, or (b) the ability to stop an opponent from generating runs. But what is the point of pop music? What constitutes success? Everyone has an opinion, but no one knows for sure. There are players in the Baseball Hall of Fame who might not deserve induction, but I can’t think of a single inductee considered "terrible" by a subset of baseball fans; there are, however, many people (including members of the Rock Hall committee, most notably Dave Marsh) who’d classify Kiss as terrible. So how does one rationalize the canonization of a group that some people don’t even view as satisfactory?"

This is pretty cool: "Google is starting to show developers what they need to do to create swappable parts for its upcoming modular smartphones, currently called Project Ara. On Ara's website, it's just posted the Module Developers Kit, which contains the information that manufacturers need to get started creating modular parts."

They Might Be Giants at the Egyptian Theater, Boise
Some thoughts:
1. The Egyptian is a pretty cool place to go see a concert. You can stand up front and dance if you want, or just chill in your seat. Either way, probably no one will spill beer on you.
2. The opener was a folky kind of act called Vandaveer, from D.C. They are really very good.
And a setlist:
Icky
New York City
Call You Mom
"Battle for the Planet of the Apes"
The Guitar
You're on Fire
Nanobots
(The rest of the show was the entire 'Flood' album, in reverse order:)
Road Movie to Berlin
They Might Be Giants
Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love
Women and Men
Hot Cha
Whistling in the Dark
Letterbox
Minimum Wage
Hearing Aid
Someone Keeps Moving My Chair
We Want a Rock
Twisting
Particle Man
Your Racist Friend
Dead
Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
Lucky Ball and Chain
Birdhouse in Your Soul
Intro
(encore:)
Tesla
Dr. Worm
