...better to punish it. It's a weirdly anti-life streak that runs through most vampire movies, where one dies, or becomes undead, with a single love bite; death those movies say, is a sexually transmitted disease. Even the non-supernatural horror films, from Psycho to Halloween to Hostel, tend to begin with young people having sex-play, then kill them off. Hostel, whose first 40 mins. are a-groan with luscious young women, eventually turns to more esoteric issues. Like, what to do with a dangling eyeball that's been yanked from its socket? You might guess: push...
...always sound promising. In a given song, the band might combine pop with Andean pan flutes and less-than-subtle lyrics reminiscent of protest songs from the '60s. Their newest album, entitled Oye, has an anthem called, literally, Protest Song (Canci?n Protesta in the original Spanish). Other lyrics tend towards love and karma and the cosmos. It sounds like it could be the worst combination of the politically trite with the New Age - but it's not.

...Phishing filters are more crucial, and tend to be of great help to the less savvy web surfers.

Microsoft and Mozilla have created constantly updated databases of known or suspected phishing sites. Both browsers employ those databases to block a user from surfing into danger. The feature is invisible if you are in safe waters, but when you land on a phishing website, the browser will alert...
...willing to see those militias incorporated into state institutions - SCIRI's Badr Brigade has been incorporated into the Interior Ministry forces [in whose uniforms they are accused of sectarian killings], while the Mahdi Army has been drawn into the police force in some parts of the country - but they tend to be incorporated in ways that retain their militia identity. The calculation of the U.S. and Maliki last summer was correct: The militias exist because Shi'ites feel insecure. And that feeling of insecurity has been deliberately provoked and reinforced by Sunni insurgents who have targeted Shi'ites...
