Maple Syrup Reserve. Thanks to US and Canada agreement.

Canada has agreed that they will send the US a certain amount of Maple syrup. So now they have a reserve to ensure the numbers are met.

Ultralights must go?

No Agenda has discussed the foiled plan of terrorists to use an ultralight or small flying Gliders in a plot on the Olympics.  Now the Ultralights are under attach for Cocaine.

It must be that they are hard to spot by US intelligence.

Mars landing a set.

BIOS to be uniform. Expect more viruses and no privacy.

http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/08/bios-security-guidelines/

This seems more like an act to control access to your system and then be able to recreate your PC data. This is bad news. I believe we should have more BIOS makes and less standards. Making it harder for hackers.

Keep Ron Paul Supporters OUT!

Interesting article. I think they just did not want Ron Paul supporters to crash the party. Close down the Republican convention.

Companies are not going to pay for your work tablet phone and PC.

You watch. In the near future companies are not going to pay for your work computer, phone or tablet. You will need to bring it. Will this mean that if you can't afford a PC, or have an old PC that no one will hire you?

The video scourge of You Tube DMA claims.

So this was an interesting piece. NASA lost it's own video, due to a claim for copyright infringement. Free Speech, I THINK NOT!

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/08/how-youtube-lets-content-companies-claim-nasa-mars-videos/

This happens to so many people who get to close to the truth and someone put a copyright request up for the YouTube video of the NASA Curiosity landing. Proves the system is useless and needs a complete overhaul.

I think the earth has shifted, so Northern states are getting the Texas weather, while TX and Southern states are getting Mexico weather.

So Mexico and south of the border has always been extremely hot. What if the Earth weather patterns have shifted North. So the weather that would be over Texas in now in Northern states.

Pieces fitting together for Gas line deal

On No Agenda, they always talk about how the gas pipelines are so important now that nuclear is off the table. E.On has reported record profits after a gas deal with Russia.

Israel, the next big Oil and Gas country

Thanks to No Agenda, my eyes are opened on the attempt to get in with Israel as they have the Liveriathon oil and Gas field of their coast.

This trip by Romney was to get their blessing and point out that he will give them better vig(Rates) for the gas than Obama camp. So to vote him into power.

Do these seat belts protect your dog. Where are the safety tests. Where are the tests we get for kids. These are next questions coming and a dog restraint will go from $25 - $50 - $1000 in a few years.

Great tax scheme NJ.
Dog lovers to the world.



The first number of dead will stay with you for every. Easier to get you upset.

1st I want to say how sorry I am that the Sikh community has been hurt. They are not Muslims and are a genuine and peaceful people. My prayers go out to you and your families.

That said the press is pushing the casualties higher and higher. Some reporters claimed as many as 20 or 30 injured/dead.So the actual number seems to be 1 or 2 dead and many injured.

This is a scare tactic and the press knows that this will spread through the gossip network. We can't let so many people die. The truth is that there are very few who died. It is hard to justify gun laws when more aren't killed.

Interesting piece from HotAir.com

You can't have sex slaves if your in Africa.

The US is going after China for having a sex slaves practice in China. They even mention the growing interest in Fuel and resources.
Quote from China Ditigal Times,
"The United States is increasingly concerned about China’s growing interest in Africa, the result of its massive demand for energy and natural resources to fuel its exploding economy. U.S. officials, including Clinton, have in the past expressed deep reservations about China’s practice of setting up huge infrastructure or other building projects, employing only Chinese workers and ignoring human rights and democratic principles."

This could be a good idea.

So the army is trying to get drones to make people runs. I guess it saves any additional injuries. Nice to know the government does care.

Cynical me. A pilot will make every effort to pick up a wounded soldier. However a drone can decide not to pick up the person if their stats are not good enough. Save money not person. Every soldier is worth any effort to save their life.

More job for Department of Defense. Overspending.

This article points out how Congress has spent money on more drone the military doesn't want. I think this is to have more jobs for people out of work. 100 plus people required for these drones.

I got this from the Chinese Digital Times. Chinese officials pay RMB 450,000 for meals. This is high.

Do not reprint, report or comment on the Internet rumor concerning the RMB 450,000 meal for 15 Olympic officials in 

China being accuse of being pushy. Claims US is trying to claim islands (Gas rights)

"Why does the U.S. turn a blind eye to the facts that certain countries opened a number of and gas blocks, and issued domestic laws illegally appropriating Chinese islands and waters? Why does the U.S. avoid talking about the threats of military vessels to Chinese fishermen by certain countries and their unjustified claims of sovereignty rights over Chinese islands? And why do they choose to abruptly express concerns on and fiddle with the issue at a moment when regional countries are enhancing communication and dialogue and trying to solve the disputes and calm the situation? Qin asked." from the China Digital Times.

No Agenda sets the trend for News.

The No Agenda show have been using a value for value model for years. You pay for what you listen to. No adds real news. Now there is talk that papers should only be funded by it's subscribers.

Cable companies loosing subscribes by the dozen.

The cable and satellite TV business is in trouble. This article points out the move to other providers, but the numbers point out that most people are just giving up on cable. Is TV dead? I don't thinks so. I have been asked by many friends how to hook up over the air TV and this seems to be a trend. Other people are watching You tube and Hulu. So TV will still be strong.

Is this China Spying on us using cheaper router products.

This was an interesting take away from Defcon. IN the past there have been several people worried about Huawei devices as they may not be secure. One person decided to find out if this was true and he is right. Is this a plan by China to get more information.

I would recommend that if Huawei wants greater acceptance they secure up their routers.

Interesting. However will it push out small company law suits.

I have mixed feelings on this topic. This bill is supposed to limit frivolous suits. However it seems to be based on whather you can win. Will this mean we will not be able to create something and then defend it. Watch this space. I will try and ad the bill text itself when it is available.

Here is the wording from the bill session
H.R. 6245. A bill to amend chapter 29 of title 35, United States Code, to provide for the recovery of computer hardware and software patent litigation costs in cases where the court finds the claimant did not have a reasonable likelihood of succeeding, and for other purposes; to the Committee on the Judiciary.


Isn't this the whole purpose of a court. Don't we have the right to a trial with 12 of our piers.

More people need Food stamps because the government takes their money.
