Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is weighing in on the rampage in Santa Barbara, California, calling both for stricter gun laws and for background checks for people with mental illness.
“The real problem here is we have too many guns in the hands of criminals, people with psychiatric problems — as this guy obviously did — and minors,” Bloomberg said on “Meet The Press” on Sunday. “And we’ve got to find some ways to stop that.

With a simple registry hack, you can net yourself five more years of official Microsoft updates for your aging Windows XP machine. Microsoft, though, says you really shouldn’t do it — and that you ought to be a good little boy and “upgrade to a more modern operating system” instead. Read on, to find out how to enable the Windows XP updates — and whether you should do it or not.
The whole Windows XP retirement is becoming a bit of a farce. Microsoft technically ended support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014. But if you were a big company or government with lots of money, Microsoft offered to continue supporting your XP machines — and then, when a zero-day vulnerability was found, Microsoft fixed that, too. And now, it seems there’s an easy way to gain five more years of support. Continue reading “Windows XP rises from the grave: Simple hack gives you five more years of updates”

Police are increasingly using mass fires and military war tactics to kill people with no other justification than that they are scared and concerned with their personal safety in dealing with the public. Conversely, people now see the police as enemies of the people, and are justifiably fearful of encountering the police in any circumstance. American citizens are now firing on police breaking into their homes like criminals. The State of Indiana has made it clear that Indiana residents may kill police acting like criminals.
We are increasingly seeing out of control cops with little regard for human life or for individual liberty and civil rights, killing people without cause. This is state sanctioned murder. Officers cite fear as the justification to riddle people with hundreds of rounds. The courts have gone along with these rationales. Police administrators fail to train, fail to supervise, fail to discipline, and fail to meet their responsibilities to maintain good order to the public. It is not the American public that are out of order. It is the police. Continue reading “Police as Enemies of the People”
