The US government liked the term &#8220;communism&#8221; a lot, and was pretty much against anything even remotely ressambling communism.</p><p>Now there&#8217;s &#8220;terrorism&#8221;. It&#8217;s basically a term used to describe any sort of action that involves attacking you, pretty much. Not to say that it&#8217;s not an issue &#8211; it is, only it&#8217;s taken for more than what it really is among the public.</p><p>What do I mean by that? Well, I will allude to Bush&#8217;s &#8220;War against terrorism.&#8221; Wars are fought against countries, organisations and such, not against tactics. Terrorism isn&#8217;t centrelized. There&#8217;s no global terror comitee (non which I know of). It&#8217;s been used so much by the press that it became devoid.</p><p>Murder is not justified, even in the form of war. Especially when you&#8217;re targetting innocent civilians or vague concepts. How long will it take until the word &#8220;terrorist&#8221; would be used as a swear?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.dushkin.org/2006/09/07/terror-is-the-new-communist/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Old House</title><link>http://www.dushkin.org/2006/09/04/old-house/</link> <comments>http://www.dushkin.org/2006/09/04/old-house/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 04 Sep 2006 20:13:36 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>dushkin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[boredom]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dream]]></category> <category><![CDATA[israel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[nostalgia]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.dushkin.org/?p=109</guid> <description><![CDATA[I keep a log where I write down all my dreams.

It&#8217;s a toaster with programmable shapes that can be embedded on the toast.</p><p>The toaster will have, say, 100 different heating bodies, 10 by 10, and you will be able to draw an image, and according to that, the toast will get the desired &#8216;print&#8217; by having only the heating bodies that you want to turn on turn on. Basically, this thing creates uneven toasts under very controlled situations. And it should&#8217;nt be hard either &#8211; we have successfully put NetBSD on a toaster, so that could be the next step.</p><p>Of course, those little heating bodies will have to be pretty close to the toast itself to get a good &#8220;resolution&#8221;, and perhaps more than 100, more like 16&#215;16. I don&#8217;t know.</p><p>The toaster will be accessed via either Bluetooth, and will have several presets built in that you can use.</p><p>I&#8217;d buy one.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.dushkin.org/2006/07/03/toaster-idea/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Checkup on My Last.fm Hack</title><link>http://www.dushkin.org/2006/06/29/checkup-on-my-lastfm-hack/</link> <comments>http://www.dushkin.org/2006/06/29/checkup-on-my-lastfm-hack/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:39:42 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>dushkin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[boredom]]></category> <category><![CDATA[technology]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.dushkin.org/?p=97</guid> <description><![CDATA[Hello everyone I was sort of checking up on my Last.fm hack that I posted several weeks ago (or months?) and realized that nobody&#8217;s actually done anything with it.
