Me Too Terrorists

The latest tape from Osama bin Laden claims originality in their plot to use airplanes as weapons in the 9/11 terrorist attack against the United States. Anyone who has read some history on the Nazi war plans to attack America will certainly roll their eyes at Osama’s blatant theft and disregard for historical truth.

Towards the end of the Reich’s reign in Germany, Hitler’s cabinet planned an elaborate scheme to send airplanes to America on a bomber run. The technology at the time was for wooden frame aircraft, so the Nazi’s realized that they could not get a bomber across the Atlantic and return it home. Hitler didn’t care about that detail, so he decided to let the bombers crash into the skyscrapers of New York City. Thus was born the America Bomber project in war torn Germany.

Needless to say, Hitler’s plan failed miserably. There was no German technology that would allow them to carry any payload and fuel enough to make the bombers lethal in their strike. Even with an attempt to make it a sea-landing plane to refuel, and an ingenious idea to do a mid-air refueling, the German defense contractors could not make it work. To that end, Hitler abandoned the project in lieu of the ever so clever ballistic missile.

“Me Too,” says Osama bin Laden, with his tired old voice. “Me Too.” So desperate for recognition and respect, Osama has to revert back to pre-adolescent vanity to roust his troops and gain more followers for his cult. Osama “Me Too” bin Laden claiming original ownership of this America Bomber plot is a testament to his absurd mental state. Osama regards himself as a master strategist. Yet, his greatest strategy was to steal a strategy from a cabinet of master strategists who were able to conquer nearly all of Europe. How is that masterful? Oh yeah, masterful book reading. Osama “Me Too” bin Laden, master book reader and scholar of historical military strategy. Look out world, he’ll throw his book at you.

Is Osama competing with other terrorist factions to rally enrollment? Maybe Al Qaeda is having a slumping year for the suicide bomber squad and “Me Too” needs to build the public brand. Are we in a “Me Too” state of global terrorism, where each faction must compete with each other to gain more body-bombers? When are we going to get the first terrorist commercial – “Join the holiest of holy body-bomber squad and fight the evil western dictatorships! Our bombs blow better! We have VIP passes in Heaven!” How about Nielsen ratings for terrorist affinity?

You don’t want that crazy Jihadist, Osama “Me Too” bin Laden, to come knocking on your door, so you better disavow any support of this posting. If you don’t, then he’ll likely pull some other master strategy out of the annuls of history and lay down the smackdown. He’s really clever like that…

THE RISE OF FASCIST SOCIAL MEDIA

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines fascism as: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control .  The phrase "dictatorial control" is important for the case that I am going to make about fascism in social media. The word "dictatorial" means "of or relating to a dictator," and a dictator is "one ruling in an absolute and often oppressive way." In 2020, social media has seen a rise in the number of autocratic events of censorship. The two social media outlets that I am going to focus on are Facebook and Twitter.  Background Facebook is a semi-private curated blogging platform where you, the user, share information at your leisure. The public part of Facebook is in Facebook Groups. With a group, outside people who are not privy to your "Facebook Wall" will join your group and establish a communal discourse. This can be private, by invitation only, or public. The Facebook is auth-walled so that you must ...

Clustered Foolishness

I had morning coffee with a well respected friend of mine recently. Aside from chatting about the usual wifery and family, we touched on the subject of clustered indices and SQL Server performance. A common misconception in the software industry is that a clustered index will make your database queries faster. In fact, most cases will demonstrate the polar opposite of this assumption. The reason for this misconception is a misunderstanding of how the clustered index works in any database server. A clustered index is a node clustering of records that share a common index value. When you decide on an index strategy for your data, you must consider the range of data to be indexed. Remember back to your data structures classes and what you were taught about hashtable optimizations. A hashtable, which is another way of saying a database index, is just a table of N values that organizes a set of M records in quickly accessible lists that are of order L, where L is significantly less than M. ...

Trademarks In The Dark

If you have a business, then you know that filing for a trademark is pretty easy in the USA. You just go to the USPTO web site ( www.uspto.gov ) and start filling out the form. The cost is significantly less now, nearly a third of what it was a couple of years ago. That's great news. What you don't know about your mark, though, is that there is a plethora of common law that dictates whether or not you can file with your specimens. The specimens are documents that clearly show your mark being used in commerce. Well, my last mark registration came back to me with the examiner asking for a better specimen that places the mark in closer proximity to evidence of commerce. Closer proximity. Yeah. Right. Apparently Lands’ End, Inc. v. Manbeck, 797 F. Supp. 511, 514, 24 USPQ2d 1314, 1316 (E.D. Va. 1992); In re Dell Inc., 71 USPQ2d 1725, 1727-1729 (TTAB 2004); In re MediaShare Corp., 43 USPQ2d 1304 (TTAB 1997); TMEP §§904.06(a) and (b), establish some common law that determines an acce...
