There is at least one team that has a Spanish language translator, and that's the White Sox. One of Ozzie Guillen's sons (I believe it's Oney Guillen) often translates for Jose Contreras and Juan Uribe during interviews.

1. Agree with basic premise of film.

2. Bemoan Moore's "ego" / "shtick" / "filmmaking style."

3. Make subtle references to supposed inaccuracies / Moore's size.

4. Suggest alternative ways he could make film "better."

5. Publish.

6. ???

7. Profit!!!

First let me preface this by saying this post contains NO spoilers. It is safe to read!

Surely by now the morons who get their kicks by making people upset on the interwebs are spamming message boards and blog comments with the supposed details of the leaked Epilogue. They are only doing this to upset you.

The answer is: don't get upset. The truth is, until your eyes cross the pages of the book on Saturday, you have no idea if what they are writing is true or not. I could throw darts at names on a board and have a good shot at accidentally predicting who lives and dies. If you come across or hear something, just take a deep breath and repeat the mantra: "until those pages my eyes do see, I do not know anything!"

One interesting possibility is that the publishers went to the trouble to create and distribute fake leaks (scans of entirely fake books?), thus creating confusion as to which "spoiler" is true. That seems like a clever way to deal with this sort of inevitable incident in this day and age--instead of hoping that the information doesn't leak (while trying to make sure it doesn't happen), create information "noise" so that nobody really knows what's true if the real information leaks (as it apparently has).

Mac OS X is safer because of its Unix foundation, period. It is not a matter of popularity.

To put it simply, Windows has always had problems giving too many permissions and services by default, while Mac OS X is almost perfectly locked down by default. Unless you are using a Root account in OS X (which requires special actions, and is not available by default), it is very, very difficult to tamper with the system settings without the user knowing. In contrast, in XP the default account is Root (Administrator), so by default programs can be installed without permission or knowledge, services can be abused, etc. Hence, the malware explosion of the last few years.

XP and Vista can be made very secure--but the issue is that it takes the kind of time, effort, skill, and patience that most users do not have (nor should they have to I think, in order for things to "just work" without fearing becoming a spam-bot or having your identity stolen).

While I'm sure there will be future problems for Mac OS X, there's a reason there are over a hundred thousand viruses for Windows, and "in the wild" viruses for Mac OS X number zero. The reason is that the code is fundamentally more secure, and it is fundamentally more difficult for your system to be compromised without your knowledge or permission, which has and will continue to be a major problem for Windows. Popularity has nothing to do with that.

I wish this column went as deeply into criticism and explanation of tech news as Glenn Greenwald does with politics and media.

Instead, we get Microsoft FUD, iPhone sales gossip, and drunk astronauts!

One place that does truly remarkable work is Cafe 458 in Atlanta, Georgia. At Cafe 458, the clients sit at restaurant tables, order as they would in a restaurant from volunteers acting as servers, are served as they would be at a restaurant, and eat restaurant-quality food.

In subverting both the regular soup-kitchen method of operation and the normal way a restaurant operates (the poor serving those wealthier), it confers more dignity on everyone involved. It also creates interaction (by necessity) and raises the service to a higher level of quality.

It is of course by no means the end solution to these issues but it is truly remarkable, and I think more in line with what you're searching for.

In rural states like South Dakota you can get a restricted license at 14, since the farm kids need to be able to drive the tractors ASAP.
