  Wikipedia is dying (...is it?) Recently I discovered that there are technical problems with Wikipedia. When trying to open  any page on Wikipedia, no matter hat language you take, the whole thing loads and loads, and loads, and loads with no end to see. It is impossible to read anything there. So there is a question about Wikipedia and its future, just like there was same question about some other web sites.

  Cyber Ronin In Japan, in the time of ninja and samurai, there was a term - "ronin", that was a samurai who lost his lord. Now seems to be a different time - or not?Maybe you saw the on the Internet the pictures of unemployed people, like a white collar sitting on a bench somewhere in a park, near him on the same bench there is a cardboard with text "Lost my job, please hire me". There are a lot of people now who lost their jobs, and that seems to be a general problem, common for those who had a good job ...

  Adobe Flash Player 10 - a filthy traitor Yo, nice to see ya here, ladies and gentlemen... well, what did I want to tell you about? Oh, yeah, it's the thing with Adobe Flash Player. If you install its 10th version on Windows, it tries to connect to windows update and to something more, don't remember it all, anyway, your legal copy of Windows XP might get broken after that. "And you can't do anything..."

  After America America is a very poweful country, a super power, making wars where it wants. Nobody can do anything against America without being punished for that. But "nothing is everlasting under the Moon", as soebody said; do you think, America will be there forever?Let's take a look at some recent news. US shuts 40% of its data centers because otherwise it would cost too much. Many people in the US are already unemployed, and "presO", how some people call him (seems people don't like their president, s...

  Friends in modern world Friends in modern world seem to be like money: now you have them, but in five minutes, you don't Even if you (still) have them, you might think they are worth a lot but in fact most of them, if not  all, are worth nothing.  There is no real friendship in the modern world. Only seldom exceptions. The rest is like sharks around when you're swimming in a sea having a blooding wound. Or even worse.

  Work and payment Computer specialists, especially those who work with real IT security,  work well with a hard, complex and delicate matter. But sometimes, when looking around, a computer specialist might get impression of being heavily underpaid for his (her) work. A dentist assistant pumps saliva and gets more then an IT profi, has an own car and makes holiday each time in another spa. A girlfriend of a doctor drives a Mercedes cross country vehicle - have you ever seen an IT pro's girlfriend or at lea...

Surely you think if you communicate with somebody over Skype, all your calls and chats are very secure, don't you? What you don't know is: Skype is not secure.We live in the age when sometimes big bad things happen, you know what I mean if recall, for example, US 2001. So many governments are concerned about how not to leave any chance to bad guys. Now, some secure things l...

  Telling the future - Let's play the Game. Let's play the game.Let's play a little and simple game. I will tell you not what will happen - but what can happen  and when probably if at all. Maybe why. You will just sit and look if it will be really so. That will not take you extra time. So - let's play the game.In the hypothetical future some people, like journalists (probably first of all "techies"), technical specialists etc  will openly talk about "end of the progress", "begin of regress" and "common degeneration of techno...

  Russian Wikilieaks: From FSB with love Since December 2010 there is website "ruleaks.net", which claims to be "Russian Wikileaks". As written on the Web, at the beginning they only posted translations of Wikileaks' stuff, now they have also some own content. On the web site itself, they post news with great sub-headers like "secret" or "confidential". Great, they write the whole truth about Russia, just what people want to know. Support for opposition etc. A little detail most people seem not to know is that the website uses resou...
