Introduction: from science to technology

Let us leave science to look at the science of small cousin — technology.

However, a brief sense of loss that the United States technical writing collection 2009 "aiming for not coming, but present. However, careful reading, like the editor said, now has enough exciting, confusing and even ... Nausea.

As Cui Jian, said: it's not that I don't understand is that the world changes fast.

The essence of a book, where you pass slowly.

This career center location in the network and culture, network and life of kink.

Yes, kink — I can't think of a better word used to describe this State. For example: is aphasia or(habitually) stimulated? our brain is not being called Google heads are formatted? three minutes to create a "new" meaning to plug a network depths bar "new" flag, or completely lose the compass not find North?

The "post-modern" the word you just don't see also understand: Welcome to the postmodern Carnival.

Tell you that since yesterday you already live here. Critical point, the volume of editing some problems, I have done on the order.

— — Mr. Zheng

Let's follow Zhang Cheng, Vice President, read technology —

Sociopaths of theVirtual World, by Julian Dibbel, fromWired

The network is not subjected to heavy ", author: JulianDibbel, selected from " wired "

Quiet afternoon, you organize your own garden, and she talked day, sunny, spring.

Unintentionally, you looked up and found out there were faint clouds moving. You don't care about.

I never imagined just a few minutes later, the cloud has put into this piece blocks — that's not a cloud, but rather a group of monsters disguised as a variety of mob, they are holding swords and sticks, House-to-House and ransacked, shouts.

Have you heard of this group of gangs, they claim to be "patriotic slaves" (PatrioticNigras).

There are several live in other cities and towns of friends already and they paid before hand, casualties.

Presently they have killed to your door, no option, you pick a sword fight.

Ear there was a scream that several culprits have her start. Before you turn around, a bandit has been put to the front of you, that's a huge Marilyn Monroe's mouth, strange smile with a large mouth hanging head down ... This is not a nightmare! you watched, sweating, panic. The only way is within easy reach ... Suddenly, unplug the power supply. The entire room is dead, only your own heavy breathing. Dark screen mocks at you.

In fact, I

have not played any game. The above description, although somewhat exaggerated, but in the virtual world SecondLife in truly happened. "Patriotic slave" was organized by the underground groups, starting from 2006, it was a wave to attacks, notorious. Attack of the peak has let SecondLife paralyzed out of the server. For players, this is the end of the world, man-made 2012 — just ahead of time: in the next second.

For serious players, it was a loser will not win the war.

The reason why can't win because patriotic slaves don't care about the fight itself. From the outset, they will find your gate: you are so concerned about your life in a virtual world. The reason why you can't win, just because you can't afford to lose.

Patriotic slave is has its own blood.

In online games in these specialized hang of hooligans, called the "master" in the wild: Grief — suffering; Griefing--let people suffering; Griefer--let your pain, and transliteration into the "wild Mage".

Don't think that

Wild Mage has any moral bottom line, they only the bottom line is to keep you mentally completely defeated. So, as long as is famous inside SecondLife beneficial goals, they will mercilessly attack. A $ $ on virtual big ship, was completely destroyed. A lady in SecondLife for presidential candidate fundraising, very successfully raised a million virtual currency, therefore made a name for himself on the cover of business week.

To this end, the famous Web site CNET doing in Second Life live interview, results were bombing of wild monk.

Wild Mage has a good sense of humor, not bombs dropped, they cast a giant penis.

Become a real network, of course, cover the unbearable

Wild Mage are not stupid, they are knowledgeable in law.

They dared to sloppiness, re-use the network violence is seriously studied SecondLife clientprotocol description, drilling and loopholes. Their skillful, comparable to the hacker Empire ".

However, the wild Mage but was their master who laughed at for mentally wretched little bully.

The chef who is master, play true, their slogan is "the network is a serious land" (the Internet is SeriousBusiness).

This extreme irony, because they are dedicated to world of Warcraft to network and the network very seriously. Guru Kyanka have their own Web site, called the somethingawful: "encyclopedia" every day, every day of nausea and find online news, fiercely playin'.

07 April, a well-known network technology writers received a death threat, time whipping up outrageously large wave, the led on the bottom line of large Internet ethics debate.

To this end, Kyanka sneer, he has sinned against the sea. Once an online release infuriated, relentless adversary in the network of a duel. He and his pawns to challenge, but didn't know each other a amateur boxer, results from old boxing, beaten all over the floor looking teeth.

Kyanka said, this is news? give you a look at my death threats, have a look.

He lit up the most recent one: each other not only his life, but also raped and killed his two-year-old daughter.

Such a lovely child but such disputes spread ...

At the end of the blog, is to embrace Kyanka unlimited lovely daughter photos.

Two double-speak eyes come through air exposure, that is so weightless moment.

This is why?

Whether it's Godfather Kyanka or network rogue wild yen for "baoxiao"-LoL (LaughoutLoud): any funny and interesting network — so long as it can get people, anything.

So this word was added s, according to the pronunciation of the evolution into a new Word: Lulz.

In their eyes, Lulz above everything else.

If the network is an is

olated universe, it would be a completely weightless world. Where the "dead" and no more, life can be unlimited, then life as light as a feather, no weight. There you also mention that evil is a pile of Tusk Monster penis bombs, digital body and digital ruins. Where the Lulz wave crimping wave — whatever you eat is a surface or lonely, no matter what you buy is divided terminals or 99% 2012 tickets — laughed after snow and no trace, no weight.

But this world of weightlessness and not alone.

If you escape to the network, think of it as the only world, then, when the wild yen were a long loud, Wai force over time, you will have to mess with Pluck to power.

At that moment you will be dropped from space struck back, and this fall will fall quite tragic.

Reflection on Lori Drew,Bullying and Strategies for HelpingKids, by Danah Boyd, fromApophenia/zephoria.org

The wall through network, author of violence: DanahBoyd, selected from: Apophenia/zephoria.org

Megan Meier said goodbye to the world of difference for a month full of 14 years old, is the old pingguoyuan

Megan could not be said to be a Sunshine Girl, starting from the third grade, she was diagnosed with mental illness, has been taking antidepressant medication.

07 years her social network MySpace open account soon received a sixteen-year-old boy's neighbour invited JoshEvans. Josh lives in the vicinity of a town, at home and school (so-called HomeSchool, not uncommon in the United States), the two men soon became close friends. Since then, Megan's parents say her emotions become particularly good.

October 15, Josh has changed, he said "we have come, because I heard you on your friends not so good."

This is Megan blow considerably, not to mention the two individuals in online interactive is open to the public, their neighbours.

October 17, Josh tone becomes tough: "your town, everyone knows you're a what, you miserable, no one likes you, you know chouhonghong days too, didn't you what this world is not short of."

Megan cry: "you're such a boy is a girl is going to kill me. ”

Mood disorders of Megan and mother quarrel, ran his own cabin.

Twenty minutes later, my parents found her in the House, and hanged himself.

She dies do not know, Josh and don't live in another town, Josh is her neighbors, her family sent four door.

"Josh" is not a boy, or even one person — she is a case of undoing LoriDrew and her a staff made up. "Josh" saying yes ("you on your friends not so good"), Megan does bullying friend, victims including LoriDrew's daughter. Lori's make a Josh out just to give her daughter export evil, in retaliation.

After two months, the FBI notification Megan's parents had identified Josh's true identity, but in order to not let Lori doubts, asking them to himself, it's hard to imagine that from that day, two people are how endured.

A year later, a distant relative of Megan accidentally read an article about cyberstalking article, to Megan's tragedy tell that author.

Although in the article "the killer" is anonymous, but Lori identity that has been published for a few minutes be angry netizens human search. Lori home address and photos instantly online exposure, Lori's company was disrupted, Lori's daughter was transferred, Lori family was expelled flooded ...

Lori was formally charged, but the prosecution, but there is no suitable legal provisions, in accordance with the 1984 by the computer fraud and abuse Act (ComputerFraud and Abuse Act) a ((a) (2) (c)), the so-called ultra vires using your account violates the allegations Lori MySpace's terms of service.

In legal terms it seems untenable: since Josh is Lori series out of demons, Lori how cannot use? jury debates under cannot reach agreement, but to the prosecution of four allegations of a civil offence of mankind.

Lori appeals, the defence that such sloppy conviction, actually shaken United States constitutional interpretation of the civil liberties.

In this case, though not complex, but the trouble is related to the legal provisions in a corner, weighing repeatedly, the Constitution, judges decide on one. While the prosecution not rest until this year, (09) September again Lori to court.

At the same time, Missouri was aware of the existing legal loophole in 08 years may bring States existing harassment law extended to the network use.

09 April, California member of the law, introduced into Parliament discussed widely contested, the party's main concern is the constitutional right of citizens to freedom of speech will be limited.

In this case the whole story, interested please check readers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lori_drew.

Although written in Missouri's state changes, this article is for the first instance judgment: even if Lori is the main culprit, but actually was on the accused to Taiwan is technology, and the technology itself and moral ethics-free, how can sins? this is a typical "guns don't kill people kill" ideas, almost nothing to do.

The author further proposed, in fact, the technology to take advantage of the good, could bring solutions. "The computer to start young," the dolls of can also be picked up from the computer. With a network of shouts let parents see clearly, then, when the intervention, the education of the education, the hand when the hand ...

Lori is hand? but she is a third factor.

More than you into LoriPK ("latent" actor), I fail to see who wins and who loses. A makes long examination of events, one can not convince me. If you do not have a wide variety of competition here, intrigue, saving internal friction and resources, this world would be a lot of white and clean. This wish of course better, but I highly doubt playing political bucket being opportunistic has long been part of the human gene, everyone had to have defensive weapons, just in general are especially amateur, have no sense of beauty is not humor, that is very violent.

I had to remove network of violence, the only way is real-name system.

I am of the view that should be "is the real" good ones — you and I are wherever possible please go to tea, many vest also cannot stop.

Network World is weight loss, but have fallen back to Earth.

So, if you do not want to be a ghost, don't fly too high. And Lori and the like, will be at any time if you know the real name, I'm afraid making ghosts will think more.
