Porno çetesine büyük operasyon. Gözaltına alınan kişiler arasında pilotlar, taksi şoförleri ve banka çalışanları var.
İspanyol polisi, çocuk pornosu baskınında 121 kişiyi gözaltına aldı. Çete üyeleri kendi çocuklarını bile pornolarda kullanmışİspanya’da, çocuk pornosuna yönelik ülke tarihinin en geniş çaplı operasyonu düzenlendi. 800 polisin görev yaptığı operasyonda 121 kişi gözaltına alındı. Polislerin ülke çapında 250’yi aşkın eve düzenlendiği baskınlarda milyonlarca porno görüntü içeren malzeme ele geçirildi. Çetenin yaklaşık 75 ülkeye çocuk pornosuyla ilgili görsel malzeme gönderdiği ortaya çıktı. Gözaltına alınan kişilerin arasında pilotlar, satış görevlileri, taksi şoförleri ve banka çalışanları bulunuyor.

I alla fall så såg jag min bil och tog sikte mot den. Sen klickar det till: Stod inte jag på raden mot vägen ut från parkeringsplatsen, med nosen utåt (så att jag ska slippa backa)? Är det nån dum jävel som parkerat ÄNNU en rad framför mig?? Och stod jag verkligen så nära mot skolan till?

Sen såg jag att det var ett rött kontrollmärke (nu har i och för sig jag också det, bara jag sätter dit det, men förut var det ett grönt). Och att registreringsnumret inte stämde.

Det finns nämligen en exakt likadan bil som min uppe i Härnösand. Och ägarinnan går på MIUN. Eller, jag ska rätta mig. Den är exakt likadan till färg, modell och årgång. Men den har tonade bakrutor och inga extraljus.

Mazda 121 är ovanlig som faen! Och de som finns i Sverige finns mest neröver landet. I typ Skåne och så.

Tänk om jag tagit fel bil!?!?!? ;P

C'est épouvantable ! Comment quelqu'un de sain d'esprit qui a la chance de ne PAS prendre les maudits transports en commun peut-il changer de camp et se convertir de plein gré à la merdicité ? Selon mon expérience trop longue de la STM (j'ai hâte qu'elle prenne fin à jamais), voici le vrai visage des transports en commun:

1- C'est inconfortable. On est debouts, entassés, coincés, et il fait crissement chaud là-dedans à longueur d'année (même en hiver).
2- C'est pas fiable. Juste la semaine passée, j'ai du prendre un taxi à 30$ (aux frais de mon père, quand même) pour me rendre à l'hôpital parce que le métro était en panne en pleine heure de pointe le matin. Encore la semaine passée, j'ai attendu la 121 UNE DEMI-HEURE à la station Sauvé, et ce par un bel après-midi sans trafic. C'est toujours comme ça. En panne, en retard, horaires non affichés ou non respectés, etc.
3- C'est sale ! Chaque autobus a son lot de gommes collées au plancher, de poteaux graisseux, parfois les sièges sont humectés d'eau de pluie... Et ça, c'est quand il n'y a pas tout simplement un itinérant boueux couché sur 4 sièges dans le fond.
4- C'est bruyant ! Il y a toujours quelque part une CADÉ (une Conne Avec Des Écouteurs) dont le baladeur crache sa musique si fort qu'on ne s'entend plus penser, ou un petit troupeau d'écolières idiotes qui crient comme des hystériques. 

Franchement, mieux vaut se saigner à blanc pour payer un char que se taper ce calvaire chaque jour. Personnellement, une fois que j'aurai mon propre revenu (que c'est long les études médicales...) ça ne me dérangera pas trop de le flamber pour faire mes déplacements assis, tout seul, à l'air climatisé, avec la musique de mon choix comme seul bruit. "Confort", voilà un beau mantra, et fuck le prix de l'essence. J'espère vraiment que ce sondage ne reflète pas la réalité; la dernière chose qu'il nous faut, c'est plus de passagers entassés dans ces saletés d'autobus chauds et humides...

The True Australian Xbox LIVE Experience: Physical vs. Electronic

Where does all our money go?

By DarkArmada

© 2008 Lee Edgerton

In the first part of this look at Xbox LIVE in Australia, we had a look at what we Aussies are actually paying for. In comparison to what our Yankee friends from up North get for a lot less money than we pay, we see less features. And although yes this seems somewhat unfair, even taking all that into consideration, I still feel that Xbox LIVE is worth my $80 per year.

But a key feature in the marketing of Xbox LIVE has been in the flexibility of payment, the ability to have your account auto-renew every year or be renewed via a subscription purchased in a retail store. Since day dot I've had my account set to auto-renew and every year, $80 is taken out of my credit card to refill that 12 month size cup of goodness, but lately I've changed my ways...

A quick breakdown of your options - every year you can opt for the physical subscription. You have to head to your local retailer (or buy online), then using the card, be it 12+1 months, a 12-month card or an "Xbox LIVE Pack w/12 months", you take it home and key in the subscription. Easy, no? The other way is completely electronic, you just leave valid payment details on your account and Microsoft does the rest, drawing funds out of your account each year.

So? What's your point?

It's a general understanding that direct debit options offer some form of bonus, be it monetary or convenience wise, to the customer. In the case of Xbox LIVE yes, there is a convenience value-add, it saves you a trip to the shops/online to get your yearly subscription. But is this enough? Well, to look further at this, let's review both sides...

Electronic Auto-Renew Subscription -

$79.95 per year no matter which way you try and slice it. Sure it's convenient, but Microsoft sees so much more profit this way. The only cost involved in this method is the 1.5 - 3% commission that Visa/MasterCard take from the transaction, the rest goes straight into Microsoft's coffers. That's a possible $78.75AUD in Microsoft's pocket!

Physical Subscription Pack / Card -

Anywhere between about $45 online for a 12+1 month card imported from the US to $99.95 for a 12 Month XBL pack (at this price, most likely from EB Games, but that's a different rant!). Sure, you have to actually source the product and purchase it, but you can make huge savings on the general $79.95 price tag. Realistically, Microsoft doesn't see nearly as much profit in this space. When you take into consideration the cost of manufacturing the cards, packaging them, freight and handling charges as well as the cost of any extras in the box (headsets, free XBLA games etc) plus the retailer's piece of the action, the profit Microsoft sees would be well below half that of the electronic process...

To sum this up -

Microsoft is basically rewarding you for making them less profit! In a situation where they clean up with close to 95% profit on a SKU, they provide next to no incentives to go this route. Sure, it's more convenient for the end user, but what else? What's convenience when you can get 13 months of XboxLIVE for $45 via a physical subscription? One would think that a vendor would promote, market and advertise heavily the most profitable means to them.

For users that auto-renew, why not offer a discount?

For Microsoft to drop the price to $69.95 or even down to $49.95, they'd still see far more profit in this model than in the less profitable physical subscription path. Maybe not a straight out discount, why not a free XBLA game? How about some Microsoft Points? Whatever it is, it seems more attractive to me as a regular subscriber to import a $45 12+1 Month XboxLIVE Supscription card from the US and use the $35 saving to do with what I please, rather than hand Microsoft $79.95 every year without question.

I don't know about anyone else - but if Microsoft turned around to us Aussies and said "Renew online for 12 months and you'll be given 2000 Microsoft Points", I know which way I'd head...

Duh, importing stuff is always cheaper, nice one Einstein! Man, who is this guy?

Yes I understand that and in my next article, I'll play the broken record on the Australian overpricing of games and what it means to import.

What Ever Happened to My Lunch Box

Though the lunch box is intended to be a practical tool for school children; it
also holds on to a great deal of symbolism. The lunch box is a sign of what we were most during the start of who we now have become. It can be a symbol for youth, home, companionship, and the strive towards independence. Many other objects are by themselves far more important than the physical lunch box , but there is no other item that encapsulates so many different meanings and ideas into one as the lunch box does.

Of course people remember their lunch boxes from their youth. Often the “coolest” ones that come to memory were made of tin, and were advertising an element of children's pop culture. Whether it be from Gi Joe's or Barbie's or Care Bears to Power Rangers; the imagery of the square lunch box and matching thermos inside is a symbol of home, of security and every thing that was memorable about elementary school and the playground. It can also demonstrate similar semiotic relationships with Caldas-Coulthard's and Leeuwen's “Teddy Bear Stories” (2003) and Moore's “Street Signs: Semiotics, Romeo and Juliet, and Yound Adult Literature”. It is now a symbol to adults about there childhood experience, expressive of youth, home, and a lack of responsibilities.

The codex of signs that use was developed while I was in grade school. I distinctly remember attending school during my first grade year. Though it was not unusual for me to eat the cafeteria food I would often bring my red, rectangular lunch box just deep enough to fit the matching thermos that came with it to school every day. When I would open it for the first time every day I would find the immaculately prepared meal made by my mother earlier that morning before I had even awoke. There are indeed the bad memories about elementary school, the grouchy teachers; the overprotective, underpaid playground staff; the condescending office secretaries; and of course the unfriendly children .In Moore's “Street Signs: Semiotics, Romeo and Juliet, and Yound Adult Literature” it reads “In adolescence students read the world that is represented to them, but they also socially construct a world in which they want to live, one that creates the identity they desire in the difficult landscape between childhood and adulthood.” This section gives an example as to the way in which alliances and relationships are made during youth. Where its not the competitive market that it is as an adult; where your role and status can be socially negotiated by ones ability to be self sufficient. It seems more that children develop there social status from the decisions of the collective group, of what others think of them.

During the ages of five to eight, most children experience there first several years of formal education. These first several years are a difficult time for many children. The idea of being a five year old having to wake up early and go to a place that’s not your home, that’s full of other children that you don't know sounds frightening. In Caldas-Coulthard's and Leeuwen's essay “Teddy Bear Stories” (2003) the symbolism of teddy bear in correlation to young children is explained. In the essay, they discuss how the teddy bear is now a symbol of companionship and protection. Lunch boxes have similar intertextual ties as teddy bears do. In this same way the lunch box is a symbol of security and companion ship. It’s the one piece of home and safety that can be brought with you.

Many of us, now that we are older, wish in a way that we could regress back to an simpler less stressful time; In the “John Mayer” song “83”, The entire song is exclaiming that he is trying to return to his childhood. John Mayer digresses on his childhood and relates it to his lunch box; the lyric goes; “whatever happened to my lunch box”. The song uses the lunch box to illustrate something from our childhood that we end up not taking with us as we begin to mature. The lyrics also imply that our childhood is worth holding on to. The song goes on to state “when came the day that it got thrown a way; don't you think I should have had some say in that decision.” Indicating that during our youth, we are kept without the ability to make independent choices; Such as keeping our own lunch box. Independence is one thing that children seem to want to run toward the hardest. Quickly realizing though that their wish is not as desirable as it seems. is now a symbol to adults about there childhood experience, expressive of youth, home, and a lack of responsibilities; that independence is hard, that life beyond childhood is difficult. Leaving one to sentimentally desire the simplicity of there youth.

Another character attempting to find the value of family and warmth is in the Orson Wells film “Citizen Kane” (1941). A motif of the story is the meaning of Charles Foster Kane's last words “Rosebud”. It is finally explained that Rosebud is his childhood sled. The very same one he was playing with on the day that his parents signed him away to the banker, Mr. Thatcher, to receive the education and life that his parents could not provide. Though Kane is incredibly successful later in his life as an adult, the audience is also able to see a disturbed and troubled man, the story reveals Kane to be lonely. Kane's unhappiness stems in part from his broken childhood. Kane realizes only to late that the thing he really wants, the only thing that would truly matter in life is the warmth of his family when he was a child These remaining memories of his home life are connected with the material element that shared the moment with him. The lunch box is connected to our memories because it is the material object that accompanied us during those years of childhood, it was our companion.

During my youth I never gave a second thought to the importance of my lunch box, or to my childhood experience in general. The lunch box seems to mean something different to me now that I'm older then what it did during my school days. Like most children, I desired to be older, to be independent to be a grown up. Now that I am entering early adulthood I often find myself nostalgically remembering my past. Now that world which I so willingly would have wished away is gone and I'm left with responsibilities and worries; with work, with so much independence that I'm lonely. Now the thought of my early youth is so compelling. I, in a way realize how much I want parts of my childhood back but also how I should appreciate the time that I am in now.

Many other objects are by themselves far more important than the physical lunch box , but, there is no other single item that encapsulates so many different meanings and ideas into one as the lunch box does. We can see that the lunch box can be a symbol for youth, home, companionship, family and the strive towards independence. Though interestingly one might be able to take another view on the lunch box. When ever I have had it I was leaving home. I was going out. I was going somewhere, somewhere that I had little experience, I was afraid. The lunch box is just a piece of home; a piece of youth where inside lies something special, Something that will keep you going, keep you alright; reminding you of a place where every thing felt safe in comparison. I hope that no matter where I go, no matter what unknown place I travel to, that I will keep my Lunch box by my side.
