Neowin[^]:
The Wall Street Journal has reported that China is looking to start a global standards initiative focused on data security to counter U.S. attempts to get its allies to keep Chinese tech out of their networks.

Soapbox soapbox. Soapbox, soapbox soapbox!

Chinese tech already keeps the Chinese out of their own networks. Doesn't that count as a standard? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

What a contradiction... data security coming from China.

I suppose one could think the digital version of the great wall could be a good idea...

Technosexuals are joined – as though surgically – to their favourite gadgets.

We report. You decide.

I was more than a little worried when I saw the headline, but it’s a tame article (IMO)

Actually an interesting read with some good points. i.E.

Quote:
Sex education in schools is failing to prepare our children for having healthy sex lives, focusing primarily on preventing pregnancy and often ignoring the digital landscape in which young people now live. As a result, they have access to tech without having the skills to stop it getting in the way of real human interaction. Without proper education, we run the risk of raising an entire generation who are brilliant at using filters on selfies, but who lack the crucial social skills required to form healthy, loving, fulfilling relationships in adulthood.

I can nothing but confirm this.
When I see some of the things that other parents do (or better said, don't do) with kids in the same age group of mine... D'Oh! | :doh:

An Australian telescope examined a huge patch of the sky for signs of life. It came up empty-handed.

So, you're telling us they have cloaking technology?!

If the other theories about the universe are true... it is like saying:
there is no technology in earth, after scanning some hectares in the amazon jungle or in the Sahara desert.

Only because you don't see something, it doesn't mean there is nothing.

Perhaps you are a skilled technologist. But beware: If your personality is as scintillating as a dish rag, you could jeopardize your open source projects.

OK, I couldn't quite get those two to sound enough like Mars and Venus. I turn it over to y'all as I'm apparently extra-fail today.

Only John Carter could take an a*****e open source project on Mars and make it work on Venus. Seriously, we should all go out and watch John Carter again! Screw the critics!

I don't know that this post has much to do with the topic (Mars/Venus/blah blah blah), but a plug for John Carter is always a good thing!
