George Galloway on Publishing Stolen Information

You can't speak meaningfully of stolen information unless you have secure communications. In a court of law you would have to demonstrate to a jury that the information published was known by you at the time you decided to publish it, to actually have been illegally obtained. In the present condition of the Internet and commercially distributed software, that knowledge is impossible. Publishing stolen information fucking well ought to be illegal, because doing so, without any way of verifying its authenticity, is downright criminally irresponsible. So please do not try to conflate Julian Assange with me! See Here's Another Video and Jul-ian Assange Loses Half of his Christ-ian Name.

Ben Eater on Running a Breadboard at 1MHz

It works fine! This is a really useful video showing lots of basics of digital electronics. See  https://eater.net/6502  for kits and videos. Here's an idea for a little project based on Ben's kits. Make a high-speed bidirectional communications link between two asynchronously-clocked 6502 CPUs using a couple of blocks of, say, 2KB SRAM (on separate chips) which have their address logic controlled by the outputs of the 6522 PIAs in such a way that each CPU can write data onto one of the chips and then switch that chip onto the address and data bus of the other CPU. You will need a few tri-state buffer elements to do this. How about doing a PCB link module with, say, an ICE-40 FPGA implementing this functionality and providing a pair of header-pins that could be used to bridge two breadboards? The next idea is to design a PCB with four 6502 CPUs, each connected via one of these link modules to two others in a square, and having four sets of headers around the edge ...

'Er Maj. Puts George Gallow[s w]ay in Mind of Vera Lynn

... and Roger Waters' The Wall , I shouldn't wonder! His speech puts me in mind of George Formby. Quite prophetically, I think: Being reunited with my  family sounds much more like a threat than a promise. What I want to see, marm, is you and your so-called government reunited with their senses. Particularly their sense of reality! I am not the property of the Crown or the so-called University of Cambridge or of the British people. I don't care how many bullshit movies you make about it!! See  All About Eve - December  and  WION - Love in The Time of Coronavirus . Another Royal Command performance, marm? This time served with Prawn Coctail flavoured crisps and Thousand Island™ dressing? Which strings? Let's start here, with a bucket of dicks, shall we? Don't worry, we'll get here quickly enough!  Queen Elizabeth II Hosts NATO Conference  via  Polly Samson's Theatre for Dreamers . And thence to  Freeman Dyson Making Complet...

This is A Big Part of Our Problem

Not enough bad romance: On electric shocks and diuretics  12 minutes 48 seconds  see  Mitochondria Batteries . The immune systems of birds, reptiles, mammals and plants are all interconnected, and they are interconnected with the ecosystem dynamics of the so-called pathogens, viruses and bacteria, which co-evolve together. So when we vaccinate large sectors of the population, for example, we change the nature of many other viruses and bacteria.
