Mysterious claim from Internet purport Youtube's JS flaw

A stranger, I suppose, posted a plain text/html message with code, says,

“The following URL will cause java script to execute in the context of Youtube”

Click at you own risk, following the URL at your own peril, if it is true, Youtube will find out soon and patch it. I have a very strong urge to just copy and paste, but I am too old to fall for this kind of temptation, however, I wish some geek can clear this wind out for me. (Link)

To a great shoes maker and others

It is only during heavy raining season in Singapore that I learn to love my pair of Hush Puppies, the shoe's heights 4 inches but when I walk through 2 inches deep water patch, water didn’t get into my socks. Even when I carried an umbrella half of my body gets wet excluding my feet.

This is the best pair of leather I have, ever!

Others rants, heavy rain did not create any flood in Singapore last few days, but take heart, it may cause more mud slides and soften many structures, houses near hill and slope might get hit first, Civil Engineering people should be able to confirm my opinion.

Concrete, is not all that natural structure.

Update: Jing..xx says,
“Take it from a civil engineer, yes, slopes should be checked to determine that they are safe. Just a question of who should pay for the check to be done?”

Baha'i Faith believers officially became outlaw in Egypt

Egypt's supreme administrative court has passed the rules, as a Baha'is Egyptian now, you have few options. First, denied your faith and lives happily among 90% of the Sunni Muslim there. Second, dig an underground place big enough to accommodate about few hundreds or maybe thousands Baha'is, or stand fast, live like dogs without education and medical aids from the government. (Link)

The choice is very clear, isn't it?

Taiwan radio pirates protest and burnt copies of Constitution

NCC(National Communications Commission) of Taiwan, which was declared unconstitutional on July by the Council of Grand Justice, set the threshold for operating radio so high(familiar tactic) that independent radio station would not be able to sustain. Protestor spat at NCC member’s photos and they are still fighting now. A very interesting remark by one pirate radio’s operator,

“They have no rights to silence us, they are unconstitutional themselves.”

The root of Taiwan government is quite unique, in such a way that it affects their subsequent behavior.

Politic, has no place in the future of Humanity.
