How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Users of hand me down computers will face problems

I am one of them, because of my 'waste not, want not' policy. Whenever my children upgrade their notebooks or mobile phones, I will try and use their old ones, making do with the expected constraints of older technology. In a way, I learn from it. We tend to learn from problems faced and not when everything is up to date and working fine when we buy the latest computers or phones. Believe me, I get more satisfaction out of being able to use what others throw out. Ask any person who is into DIY, and he or she will understand.

"If you've been hesitant to update your Internet browser, you may want to pay attention to this.

Google announced that it will begin phasing out support for users who are not using the most up-to-date browsers. And it's not just talking about people who are using the same browser they were using in 2001. Anything below Firefox 4, Internet Explorer 8, and Safari 4 is on the chopping block.

After August 1, users who are still on one of those older browsers will either have difficulties or be completely unable to create and share virtual documents, access Google Talk, create Google Calendar alerts, or even check your Gmail.

This is because Google plans an overhaul of its online Apps service that will rely heavily on the new HTML5 Web standard - something that all the current browsers support in a big way but is totally out of the picture in previous releases...."
