Forty years ago today Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, TN. He had a dream. We often have dreams about how we want things to be. The time has come for things to change. A short time ago Barak Obama gave one of the best speeches in history regarding racism. We have finally come to the point where we may be able to deal with issues of race. It’s not going to be an easy road by any means. For the first time in a long time I believe it is really possible for us to achieve the change that King dreamed out. I believe we can change. There are other issues of bigotry that we must face, however, in order to be a more perfect union.

In honor of King’s Death I will be posting a series of my writings on bigotry and other social issues.

[Update: Since the time that I originally wrote this article, more video-based streaming options have become available.  Netfllix is the clear choice for movie streaming.  It will even work with Playstation 3, XBOX 360, and Wii (Wii support is brand new).  Many TV shows have been made available for streaming either through their own network's websites or hulu.com (most of these only work in the U.S. though.  I currently recommend Zinc TV (windows version available at http://zinc.tv) for access to ALL of these streaming options.]

I’m not sure about you but I when I was a student I didn’t just have $3000.00 lying around. The Recording Industry Association of America is asking some USF (University Of South Florida) students to pay that much to avoid being sued in court for downloading music. Yes, this is for real and I even know the family of one of the students. What’s sad here is that most of the students I know can’t afford to pay fines like that. They just don’t have it. The message is clear. The RIAA has taken on anyone and everyone that opposes them.  Here’s an article on the USF situation : USF KEEPS WATCH ON STUDENTS’ MUSIC
On college campuses it is a bad idea to download movies or music. Thankfully there are options to a lot of the same material legally at a low cost of less than 20 or 30 a month out of your pocket.

Has everything on ABC’s “Lost” been confusing to you since the end of the 2006-2007 Season. That’s because Lost switched from flashing back, a method used on both Lost and it’s sister show Alias since the shows started, to flashing forward—something leaving viewers rather confused.

***SPOILER WARNING***

Do not read further if you have not seen the episodes of lost up to and including the Feb. 14, 2008 episode and intend to watch them anytime in the future.

Bulletproof MySpace How to protect yourself from hackers

This is essentially a quick guide on protecting yoursef from those hackers out there. I am tired of the spam and of friends feeling like they have to delete profiles. It really doesn’t matter how smart you are, they seem to be able to get in. But I have found at least some of their most frequent tricks and I will share them with you.

First there are 4 types of hackers/spammers:

1) The ones that want to use your account to spam people. These are the most common. They gain access to your account so that they can post bulletins, messages, or comments to promote their product.

2) The ones that are there to show off. These are the ones that add stupid things to your profile to try and be cool.

3) The ones that are malicious. These are the ones that delete accounts, change profile info, spread viruses, and all sorts of other nasty things

4) The ones that just add you to sell you things. These are not hacked accounts but actual accounts that are spamming you.

How do the hackers gain access you might ask? It’s very simple: you give them the info. I’ll let you take a minute to absorb that. Yes, YOU give them the info. On occassion someone uses some other insidious way to get your username and password but 90% of the time it is given by the person themselves. But not with persmission. Always by trickery….

Well how do they do it? You are going through bulletins or comments and suddenly you see a link. Maybe it’s from one of your friends you know, maybe it’s from one you don’t really know that well. You click on it. But wait, suddenly you are logged out of myspace… Well you can’t have that can you. So you log back in. That’s your mistake right there. YOU WERE NEVER LOGGED OUT. You were redirected to a hacker site that just got your username and password because YOU typed it in. Now don’t feel bad. It happened to me also. Now here’s what really sucks… Your username is your e-mail address. That means all they need is your password for the e-mail account and they are in that too. Well, quite a few people leave the password the same for e-mail and MySpace….not a good idea. Because then you keep changing your MySpace password and they keep hacking you because they just read the e-mail to get the new one.

How to stop from being hacked/spammed:

1) never re-enter your info if YOU didn’t log yourself out. if you find you are logged out type www.myspace.com in the URL box and you will often find that you have not been logged out. Only enter your user info when you typed MySpace.com yourself…

2) Don’t download a myspace tracker. They don’t work. They are ALL hacking tools.

3) Don’t add people who have a huge link to their “other” profile with the “good” pictures…they are spammers. Also if they have very little info. There are often tell-tale signs.

4) If you get a spam comment, delete it, don’t just leave it there.

5) If you get spammed block them…All of a sudden the people wanting to spam you notice that and it cuts out a lot of spammer add requests

6) change your password frequently…this will lock them out if they have alread hacked you…

7) You can approve all comments manually but I really don’t like this one so much and it really doesn’t do as much I think as far as prevention
Private profiling doesn’t really help I don’t think

Things you don’t need to do:

1) Deleting all those Xs in your user list. I’ve seen people panic over that but what those really are is the remants of profiles that were either deleted by myspace or the person themselves. All you are doing is locking out someone who has a deleted profile from coming back on to your playlist.

2) Delete your account…that is so dramatic and unnessary. The damage they have done can be replaced…

If you have not seen the ad, you can probably find it on youtube. There are several arguments about whether or not this ad is racist. It most definately is. It depicts Harold Ford as a womanizer hanging out at Playboy parties to hook up with white women. Next thing we will probably see from the Republican National Committee is some clips from Birth Of A Nation showing black congressmen eating fried chicken and watermelon during a congressional session. That is what is most disturbing is that the Republican National Committee, came up with this ad. Was this ad intended to be racist? I really don’t know. They are the representatives of one of the 2 major US parties. They should know better. They could have done their ad without the racism.

The second issue that I want to attack here is the portrayal of the Playmate stereotype. The ad never actually comes out and says that the girl is a Playmate, only that she “met Harold Ford at a Playboy party at the mansion.” She is blonde and does not seem very intelligent. I am personally offended by this because most of the Playmates I have met seem to be very intelligent and not all are blonde. This kind of bigotry is just hateful, set forth by men and women who hate anything like Playboy. I can name two Playmates offhand that were USF students: Alesha Oreskovich and my friend Carlotta Champagne. Neither are the embodiment of the blonde, stupid playmate that the ad tries to establish. I’m sick of Playmates being stereotyped.

The Republican National Committee agreed to pull the ad finally, but it could be that was always their intention, much like a lawyer bringing up an objectionable point and then shouting “withdrawn.” It is quite possible that this ad will backfire on them. That remains to be seen. There are negative ads put out by both parties. It is not the only negative ad out there, just one of the worst ones.

Last night I came home and checked my e-mail. I then did something I almost never do. I checked the BBC News Latest News from my Firefox web browser. That was when I saw the most unexpected thing. The title was ” Crocodile Hunter” Irwin dies at 44. I thought “this can’t be, I must have read this wrong.” When I opened the article there was a picture of Steve Irwin. He always knew that one day he would have to retire because he could no longer match the speed of the crocs. I always thought that was how it would go down. I never thought in a million years he would meet his end to a sea creature that I myself have touched in an aquarium.

Steve will always be remembered for his excitable, crazy way of exploring wildlife. We should remember him for more that just that. He broke the barriers of traditional thought on wildlife documentaries and begin interactively exploring the wildlife in front of the cameras instead of just behind them. He helped break the barriers that allowed a whole new generation of interactive documentaries to come to fruition at the turn of the new millinium. Besides Steve, Jeff Corwin is probably the best known of these, and Corwin will probably lead the way now. Irwin was instrumental in the launch of Discovery Channel’s Animal Planet network.

Perhaps the most important thing that Steve Irwin should be remembered for is his environmental activism. He did not acomplish this through protests but though teaching and setting an example. Irwin made it “cool” to like animals. Irwin always made sure that everyone knew he cared about people too. He left behind a family that he loved very dearly. He even changed to a show for a while that concentrated more on the Australia Zoo so that he could be near to his family. People were seen through the same loving eyes that he researved for animals. When he went into Eastern Timor it was hard for him to take the devistation to both people and wildlife. He pleaded with people to stop supporting snake charming because of the harm being done to snakes. He even worked with the Army Rangers in Ft. Eglin (not far from my hometown of Penascola, Florida) to help preserve the rattlesnake population there.

In this instant world in which we live there have already been hundreds if not thousands of posts to the Croc. Hunter message board at Discovery Channel. From this post it may seem that I knew Steve personally. I do not. That is just how Steve made us feel; like one of the family. When Discovery Channel/Animal Planet does the tribute one day soon, I will be watching.

Just over a month ago (at the end of June), Steve Irwin’s tortoise Harriet died. At one time this tortoise was believed to have been one Darwin had seen. While that may not be the case, she was seen by the Irwins as part of the family. It was reported that Harriet, then the worlds oldest living tortoise died at the age of 176 from heart failure. Perhaps if she had lived just 39 days more she would have died of a broken heart.

My condolences go out to the Irwins. It is a tough thing to lose a pet that was born before your grandparents were. Now they have to deal with the loss of a husband and of a father.
