"It's well-known in the tax community, but not many people outside of it are aware of this big expansion of data and computer use," says Edward Zelinsky, a tax law expert and professor at Benjamin N.

It's appropriate to watch it carefully. There should be safeguards." He adds that taxpayers should know that whatever people do and say electronically can and will be used against them in IRS enforcement.

I am a local filmmaker and have been an occasional poster/longtime lurker on this forum. I have produced, written and directed several short films and have been thinking about making a documentary about Fairfax Underground and its posters for some time now. This would be incredibly fertile territory for an Errol Morris-style investigative, quirky documentary about the lives of normal people involved in unusual circumstances. The years-long feuds, grudges, and alleged stalking and vandalism alone would be compelling material to document. If any longtime posters would be willing to conduct on-camera interviews, this would be ideal. We will delve deep into the secret lives of seemingly normal Fairfaxians who lead double lives as troublemakers, trolls, and outrageous characters online, and how these secret lives (and sometimes real lives) intersect.

We will be in pre-production for the next few months; this message is simply meant to send out a feeler, to gauge interest. I will check back soon and if the response is positive will post my contact information forthwith.

Chinese Supercomputer Is Now The World's Fastest - By A Lot

Every six months, the Top500 organization reveals its list of the world’s fastest supercomputers. And for the past few lists, there’s been a lot of movement. In June 2011, it was Japan’s “K” supercomputer. In June 2012, it was IBM IBM +0.42%‘s Sequoia. In November 2012, Cray CRAY +4.83% took the lead with its Titan supercomputer. And now there’s a new fastest supercomputer – the Chinese Tianhe-2.

The Tianhe-2 was built by the National University of Defense Technology in China. It is the successor to the Tianhe-1A supercomputer, which topped the list of world’s fastest supercomputers in November of 2010. It will be deployed at the National Supercomputer Center in Guangzho – two years ahead of schedule.

Tianhe-2 is built entirely with Intel INTC +0.74% processors. It contains 16,000 nodes, which each contain two Xeon IvyBridge processors and three Xeon Phi processors, for a total of 3,120,000 total processor cores. And those cores are doing the job. According to the benchmarks used by Top500, it performs a staggering 33.86 petaflop/s. That’s nearly twice as fast as Titan, which has a performance benchmark of 17.59 petaflop/s.

And just to show you how far things have come in just two and a half years, the Tianhe-1A performs at 2.56 petaflop/s. Don’t feel too bad for the old winner, thought – it’s still the 10th fastest supercomputer in the world.

Another aspect of the Tianhe-2 is that it shows how rapidly China is advancing in the world of IT. Although the processors may have come from Intel, everything else – from the design to the operating system – was developed in China...

Authorities say that hundreds of Secret Service agents will be sent to protect the President while in Africa, and a Navy aircraft carrier with a fully staffed medical center will be stationed off of the coast of visited nations in case of an emergency.

But the big time spending won’t stop there.

Fighter jets will provide 24-hour coverage over the President’s airspace and 14 limousines will be reportedly sent over from the United States to provide President Obama safe passage by roadway.

The Washington Post, which obtained internal documents on the trip, said it will cost in the tens of millions of dollars for the trip.

But when you consider that the President has made trips to Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia while making only a brief stop in Ghana during his presidency, why shouldn’t he go to Africa for a substantial visit, especially when the continent has been coined in several business circles “the New Frontier.”

Countries like Brazil and China have increased their investment in African nations and the United States needs to maintain its influence in the region while promoting trade, democracy, and empowering the youth and women. And with a strong Muslim component in many African countries, the continent is an increasingly important partner in global anti-terrorism efforts.

And Obama isn’t the first president to see Africa’s strategic importance. Presidents Bush and Clinton both visited Africa, with Mrs. Bush going to Africa five times in support of President Bush’s agenda.

I don’t recall the cost of those trips ever being questioned.

But now, as the first president of African descent prepares for his first major visit to Africa, Obama critics are looking to pinch pennies?

The Washington Post report says the costs for the trip are not out of line with what is spent when other presidents travel abroad.

So what gives?

Why is this news now?

Here’s a thought: President Obama is being held to a standard that other leaders haven’t had to match.

Just two weeks ago, President Obama was forced to defend the massive government telephone and e-mail surveillance program.

Few of his critics bothered to mention it was started under President George W. Bush.

Obama and his opponents can have legitimate differences on key policy questions like whether the Health Care Act will work as planned or if his amnesty program for illegal U.S. residents serves the nation’s best interests.

But when Obama detractors raise a phony issue like the cost of his foreign travel – costs that are in line with travel by previous presidents — Obama critics reveal just how paper thin their arguments are.]]> ..<*((((><..<*((((><..<*((((>< Off-Topic Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:38:54 -0400 http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/40/1219510/1219510.html#msg-1219510 http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/40/1219510/1219510.html#msg-1219510 RushTurd Off-Topic Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:47:37 -0400 http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/40/1219470/1219470.html#msg-1219470 http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/40/1219470/1219470.html#msg-1219470 Ron203 Off-Topic Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:24:51 -0400 http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/40/1219459/1219459.html#msg-1219459 http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/40/1219459/1219459.html#msg-1219459 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlgqWeuhJj4

To put that in perspective, that's about one Volt sold every two months per dealership. The number is also down from an only slightly less paltry 1,626 sales in February.

Billions of taxpayer dollars have been spent to produce and subsidize the plug-in electric car.

Proclamations were made that supply for the wonder-car could not keep up with the demand.

Well, March's sales figures are in and give further confirmation that the lofty claims were all lies.

Poll: Obama’s approval ratings dive amid surveillance controversy
Jane C. Timm, @janestreet

The president’s approval ratings have dropped eight points to 45%, according to the latest CNN/ORC International poll, following news that the government is broadly running surveillance on Americans who interact with foreigners. It is the president’s worst approval rating since November 2011.

The polling shows a marked drop in support from people under the age of 30, black Americans, and independents, whose support for the president fell by 10 points, CNN reported.

It’s been a rough couple of months for President Obama: a leak revealed the National Security Agency’s anti-terror policy of widely running surveillance on Americans who interact with those abroad, the Internal Revenue Service announced that it had targeted Tea Party and Conservative nonprofits, Congressional hearings continued to hunt for more on the handling of the Benghazi attacks, and the Justice Department admitted it secretly subpoenaed journalist’s phone records while investigating a leak of classified information.

Support for Obama held on during the first weeks of scandals, but the controversies, particularly the news of the NSA surveillance, have clearly caught up to him—for the first time since Obama took office, 50% of Americans do not think the president is “honest and trustworthy.”

The 1,013 Americans polled last week were torn on which NSA programs they support: just over half support the government’s monitoring of phone records of Americans contacting those abroad, while a majority, 66%, support the government monitoring the internet behavior and communicators of Americans interacting with foreigners.
Despite that, 62% of those surveyed feel the government has become so ‘large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens,’ and 61% disapprove of how the president is handling surveillance—more than the number of Americans who disapproved of of George W. Bush’s surveillance methods, 52%.

Another poll, however, found a distinct partisan shift when it comes to surveillance, where a majority of both parties approving the programs when their own party held the Oval Office, and disapproving when the opposing party was in power.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court says prosecutors can use a person's silence against them if it comes before he's told of his right to remain silent.

The 5-4 ruling comes in the case of Genovevo Salinas, who was convicted of a 1992 murder. During police questioning, and before he was arrested or read his Miranda rights, Salinas answered some questions but did not answer when asked if a shotgun he had access to would match up with the murder weapon.

Prosecutors in Texas used his silence on that question in convicting him of murder, saying it helped demonstrate his guilt. Salinas appealed, saying his Fifth Amendment rights to stay silent should have kept lawyers from using his silence against him in court. Texas courts disagreed, saying pre-Miranda silence is not protected by the Constitution.

The high court upheld that decision.
