Saw more than one report that the role of neonazis is overrated in the ukrainian uprising. Though I agree that they are there and form probably the most militant force.

That's a general problem in Europe atm. The collapse of the Soviet Union discredited most leftist parties, leaving the right the only political force catering to the lower classes.

Yahoo webcam images from millions of users intercepted by GCHQ

So the british secret service GCHQ stored millions of webcam pictures from Yahoo chat users. I really laughed about the statement in an internal document regarding the content and the nature of these webcam pictures:

"One of the greatest hindrances to exploiting video data is the fact that the vast majority of videos received have no intelligence value whatsoever, such as pornography, commercials, movie clips and family home movies." [...] "Unfortunately … it would appear that a surprising number of people use webcam conversations to show intimate parts of their body to the other person."

Yo really, must have been a huge disappointment to find out that most online users are not into terrorism but into cybersex. Such an impudence. They spend millions on surveillance and people gave a damn, talking about sex instead of blowing up Buckingham Palace.

One word for these archaic bureaucrats: follow trends! Especially amongst groups that you are targeting.

Those descriptions confirms my sentiment about Yahoo! users. Generally better than most noobs but definitely not better than Google users.

If internet is a "pool" of information. Yahoo! is like the old swimming pool complex that is part of a larger theme park. It is dirty, rusty, yet still offers some fun you can't get anywhere else.

About Ukraine, it's beginning to feel like 2008 all over again. Ethnic Russian majority, military drills close to the border, I would not be surprised if a secession war soon follows. The USA is giving us warnings not to get involved which means next to nothing coming from people with a record of intervening.

Damn the American who ever coined the term "cold war", he was probably a greedy bastard who put personal gain over diplomatic relations and the well-being of people of his country and others. I'm sick of hearing it, I grew up without worrying about a nuclear attack or invasion but it was the opposite with the fear-mongers over there who happen to be the politicians of today who've been threatening us.

Why the Slavs fight with each other? I also don't understand the Balkan people.

Are you guys easily get pissed off by the slightest means, e.g. like walking in front of you when you are in bad mood?

Intolerance towards minorities is something ultra-hip in eastern europe, fueled by the highest authorities. So, in eastern europe you don't want to be part of any minority, no matter whether it is about art, sex, religion, ethnic roots or your taste in sweets.

Are you guys easily get pissed off by the slightest means, e.g. like walking in front of you when you are in bad mood?

The problem is that each Slav nation wants to be obviously independent, but there are many controversial regions where different nations live together and each nation wants to have that region for their country. Crimea is best example. Obviously the source of the evil there are usually Russians - this time they want some regions back which were taken from them after Soviet Union fall...
However I'm neutral on this chaos in Ukraine. Remember what they did to Poles on Wołyń in 1943 - they murdered in a way which even nazists didn't think of...

Putin seeks Ukraine troop deployment

That's the title. So, they already deployed 6,000 troops in Crimean peninsula. Is this the full scale invasion?

I mean, I can comment on that, since practically that's what the US has done in Iraq. But it is still not right.

Anyway, what's with the Ukrainian neo-nazi harassing ethnic Russians? And why the nazi reference? I still vividly remember that Himmler first uttered the phrase "untermensch" when he reviewed Ukrainian Soviet POWs after the fall of Kiev. What an irony, but well, these kinds of people are usually not bright either.

If I read the story correctly, the Russians agreed to give the Crimean peninsula, excluding their prized Black Sea fleet naval base in Sevastopol to Ukrainians. I was surprised, until last year, I still thought that Sevastopol (the city) still belonged to Russia (thanks to my poor Geography skills).

So, these were like Americans in Guantanamo strolling to nearby Cuban town of Caimanera or Boqueron with full battle gear intending to "secure" the American interest in the region.
