- Jun 29, 2006 MediaWiki fixation. I'm in the process of setting up my own wiki. I'm interested in how the Introduction page works. A few days ago, you wrote this on that page: 'There is a MediaWiki message for this page, allowing people to edit the page as blank, even though the code appears at the top. — Lapper (talk) 12:27, 15 May 2006 (UTC).'
- Security vendors report ‘critical’ Trojan exploit for Mac — SecureMac and Intego are separately reporting the existence of a new security threat for Mac, claiming the existence of multiple variants of a new Trojan horse in the wild that affects Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5.
- Since Chrome OS is based on Linux, there are two ways to run Wine on your Chromebook: using Crouton to run it in Linux, or by using the new Wine Android app. Important: Wine in Linux won’t run on ARM Chromebooks, and the Android version only supports Windows RT apps. Wine should work properly on Intel Chromebooks, however.
Steps to Reproduce. I created a App with Flutter which uses Firebase and a few other packages. Every time when I build the ios release and I want to run the app after that on a iphone simulator, the following issue occurs 'x8664' is not an allowed value for option 'ios-arch' I'am able to fix this by running flutter run but this shouldn't be necessary. SonarQube is an open-source platform for automated code quality auditing and static analysis to discover bugs and security vulnerabilities in projects using 27 programming languages. Vulnerable SonarQube servers have been actively exploited by attackers since April 2020 to gain access to data source code repositories owned by both government.

- 21: This made the list because… It’s true. Get good at maths, go to Vegas, get wealthy, get a big head, get a beat down.
- Pi: OK, so he doesn’t make good really because he drills out part of his brain. But he does end up being all Zen, looking at the leaves blowing, finding peace and not dying like the other guy.
- Can’t Buy Me Love: Nerdy kid pays girl to date him, things go south, kid ends up with girl. Apparently if you tight roll your khakis Amanda Peterson (you know, from Silver Spoons and Annie) will fall all over you. Noted.

- Iron Sky: Nazis on the moon. No huge names. Not awful given that.
- Cube: A movie based on a bunch of rooms making an infinite maze of sorts that keeps changing? Math and a last ginger standing kind of pace.
- The Last Airbender: I watched all the cartoons with my daughter and so when the movie came out I wanted to take her. Let me be clear, this is not a movie made for 4 year olds. But it was really well done I thought. Obviously, directors have to take some liberties when adopting a dozen hours worth of cartoon story line into a feature film, but I thought it was totally worth it. Too bad they didn’t finish the trilogy.
- Flight of the Navigator: So bad it’s good. David pilots alien ships and disappears for 8 years without growing a day older. Great little flick that reminds me how I dressed when I was that age. Some of the graphics didn’t hold up, but I’m not so overly judgmental.
- Kick-Ass: Not many movies are original. This one was. It was fun, campy and I didn’t want to throw up when I saw Big Daddy like I usually do in movies he’s in!
- Kick-Ass 2: Rarely is a sequel as good as the first movie. This is no exception. But it was original and campy, much like the first and well, well worth the watch.
- Super 8: Normally I don’t like kids in creepy movies, but they pulled this one off pretty well. Not for younger kids for sure!
- Goonies: Ah, the originals make ya’ swoon don’t they. What more could you want, than a big bad guy, Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Martha Plimpton and the list goes on. Pirates, booby traps, gold and who could forget Data!
- Back to the Future: I’m just going to include the whole franchise here. I’m still after a Delorean. Michael J Fox at his best. Well, Teenwolf wasn’t so bad, either. But the Doc, the plutonium and changing the future from the past. Awesome!
- Hugo: A crossover between nerdy kids and fantasy, this period flick feels more like a steampunk movie than the traditional Disney kids movie (Disney didn’t make it). It’s a good movie. Cinematography, story line, acting, directing, etc. Didn’t get nearly enough attention and I think it will stand the test of time unlike many kids movies.

But the only reason it didn’t win worst acres was that Mariah Carey released Glitter that year. It did well enough in the box office though to score a sequel.

- BloodRayne: Wow, did Uwe Boll just miss it with this one. I mean, another game that could have been a great movie but needed so much more. It’s not easy to screw up a movie with Billy Zane Michael Madsen and Ben Kingsley when you have a plot as awesome as BloodRayne to work with in the first place…
- DOA:Dead or Alive: Honestly, when I saw this I thought “Self, you should be playing this video game or watching someone play this video game, not watching actors trying to act like they’re in a video game. Happens a lot but I keep watching all of these…
- Resident Evil: This has just become a great little franchise.
- Silent Hill: I almost didn’t put this on because I just don’t like creepy movies.
- Doom: This movie was doomed the second The Rock was cast in it.
- House of the Dead: Gratuitously violent, just like the game. If you drink every time a zombie bites it you will die. In fact, if you’ve read everything up until now you might want to anyway. I like that this movie is authentic in that it doesn’t remotely try to be good. Stupid young people shoot stupid zombies.
- Double Dragon: Billy Lee and Jimmy Lee. Somehow Alyssa Milano and Andy Dick end up in here too. As an early video game movie (apparently grunge was more popular than nerdy stuff at the time) I think the rest of that industry learned from this movie that special effects alone wouldn’t get you there and that you needed a plot.
- Street Fighter: This is where we learned that Jean-Claude Van Damme should have stopped long before. But it was a video game, so everyone into such things at the time went to see it anyway. We knew it would be awful and we still went. Like Daredevil. It did have to compete with Dumb and Dumber for box office dollars, though… Now if Duncan McCracken had been cast as Guile it could have been saved…
- Mortal Kombat francise: I had no idea this franchise could go downhill after the first one but… It did.
- Wing Commander
is a move from 2008 where Diane Lane plays a fed trying to track down a serial killer who posts live video of killing victims on the Internet. It’s borderline B-movie, but it’s not too badly done. Any plot gaps or technical mistakes I let slide due to the fact that the movie is set in Portland and the fact that I’ve always enjoyed Diane Lane. 19. Tron: Legacy is the second installment of Tron, which comes almost 30 years later, his son joins him in a movie that is more like the Big Lebowski turns digital samurai than the original… I’m kinda’ suck of the rich brat concept. But at least he breaks into a data center and blows stuff up before getting sucked into the Matrix… 20. Eagle Eye is the story of Jerry and Rachel, two strangers thrown together by a phone call from a lady they have never met. She makes them and others perform a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using everyday technology to track and control their moves. Turns out she’s a computer. Shia LaBeouf is the star of this. How he got to be the star of this, Transformers and the replacement for the Indiana Jones movies is beyond me. He’s not a terrible actor, but he’s not worthy of such reverence from the nerd/action movie elite… This is not as awesome a nerd movie as it is a symbol of the future of nerdy movies. I guess this one is more about that thing people call Mobility than computing, but close enough… 21. Lawnmower Man should have just been one movie. The only one with Stephen King, this was the first VR movie I remember seeing. Pierce Brosnan is the not-really-bad guy, but the creator of the bad guy. This is like a digital Frankenstein flick. 22. Disclosure is another movie from the 1990s (1994) that shows Michael Douglas getting seduced by a woman. But this time, he ends up stopping before he closes the deal. So instead of boiling the family pet, he just gets sued for sexual harrassment. Lots of computers and screen shots. And Demi Moore in a 90s power suit. Awesome stuff! 23. Virtuosity is about a virtual reality serial killer who’s actually more of a composite of serial killers. Weak plot, but Russell Crowe wasn’t a big star yet. It’s like of like Demolition Man, but with the VR spin on it. Russell Crowe is totally psycho. And he wears a couple of awesome suits in the movie (I’m pretty sure one of them was in Cool World as well). 50 terabytes was a lot back then! 24. eXistenZ is another artificial reality movie, but Jennifer Jason Leigh is a video game designer. I thought that the BioPort concept was too much, especially for the time. The theme was already a bit done by then, but it was at least a weird new twist… 25. The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes had Kurt Russell. It was from the 60s. But the time spent on explaining all the computing was awesome! The best part about this movie is that glimpse you get of what computers were like before the advent of the personal computer. Thank you to the Altair, Apple and other machines that helped to get us into a new world order! Finally, while this clip isn’t a movie, if you were curious what hacking stuff really looks like most of the time: Miscellaneous: - Catch Me If You Can because of the social engineering awesomeness it happens to be.
- Independence Day because aliens apparently have Windows running on all their ships.
- Jumpin’ Jack Flash because Whoopi Goldberg is actually a somewhat convincing engineer (or not).
- Mission Impossible gets a nod for having an upside down Apple logo (for the time).
- The Italian Job gets a nod for the real inventor of Napster (I guess he can duke it out with Metallica next).
- Revolution OS for being a documentary about Linux. I’d love to see more of this kind of thing in the years to come (there’s certainly enough money floating around in the computer world to make more of them happen).
- Jurassic Park had some computing in it, but doesn’t really count.
- The Thirteenth Floor doesn’t make the list because it wasn’t original enough in its look at virtual reality.
- Code Hunter was terrible.
- Enemy of the State didn’t make the list because I’m sick of movies making people into conspiracy theorists.
- Max Hedroom for being cool, new and unique at the time – and perfect for the era.
- Netforce – Oh wait, no, that was a typo.
- One Point O – Which might have made the actual list had the star not become a police officer in Law and Order.
- Gone in 60 Seconds had a hacker named Toby, but it also had Nicolas Cage
- Ocean’s 13 had Roman but it also had Brad Pitt
- Superman III had Gus, but then, it was total crap
- XXX: State of the Union had another Toby (popular name for movie hackers) but then, it had Vin Diesel
Amish technology is the technology used by Amish community who don not believe in modern technology. There are little more than two hundred thousand people around the world, but there is no collective, group or community that better symbolizes the rejection of technology and modern life than the Amish with their beards, their cars and those old-fashioned clothes. at least one hundred and fifty years.
Or, at least, that’s the image we have of them. But to tell the truth, the Amish have a somewhat unwarranted reputation as Luddites. As soon as we investigate, we realize that, under that nineteenth-century appearance, we can find a very interesting way of approaching technology and a handful of hackers determined to get on the bandwagon of progress in their own way.
What are the Amish?
The Amish are an ethno-religious group typical of North America. That is, they are a set of Anabaptist communities descended from German and Swiss immigrants who arrived in America in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. They are known for their simple lifestyle and their refusal to embrace modern comforts and technologies. The Amish technology is based on old traditional thoughts. They believe in traditional slow technology.
They are not a monolithic block, far from it. The practices and standards are different depending on the community we look at. And there are Amish communities in Canada, Mexico and in various US states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana. But even so, the cultural unity of Amish communities is very strong. Amish technology used old instruments found by their ancestors rather than latest technology.
And yes, it is true that Amish villages and towns do look remarkably anachronistic, but we must admit that the idea of portraying the Amish as old-fashioned Luddites is still an urban myth. An urban myth that, like everyone else, is based on a half truth. Faced with our predisposition to embrace technological developments with enthusiasm, the old Amish order often says ‘no’. And yet, there are few things more technological than a German community in Pennsylvania.
The Amish relationship with technology
Curious Fixation: An Infinite Runner Mac Os X
To get an idea of the complexity of the Amish relationship with technology, we can look at cars. Cars are not normally used in the communities, but rather small horse-drawn carts: the famous buggies that appear in the movies. These cars have nothing to do with the car my great-uncle used: they are state of the art.
But the combustion engine ban is unclear. In many communities they are allowed in agricultural work if the tractors do not have steel wheels and cannot be driven on the road (“like cars”); others allow the use of motors in the threshers as long as they are not self-propelled; There are even those that directly allow cars, but only if the bodywork is black.
In a now classic article, Kevin Kelly explained that the intention of the Amish technology is not to remain in the seventeenth century as they say, but to preserve and strengthen their communities. When cars appeared in the early 20th century, communities realized that cars made it easier for people to spend their free time away (shopping or sightseeing) rather than shopping in the community or visiting friends and family.
It was not a technological rejection per se , but the expression of the conviction that ” efforts should be focused as much as possible on the local community and that these efforts should not be allowed to go to waste.” Eric Brende, a PhD candidate at MIT, explained that the debate on the mobile phone remains the same.
During the first third of the 20th century, many Amish communities rejected electricity, the telephone, and radio for exactly the same thing: to make the minds of the members away from the real community. After all, one of his driving ideas is that ” you should be in the world, but not of it .” In other words, one must live in the world, yes, but we must not get carried away by its logic, fashions or trends.
What is Amish Technology
If we look closely, we find more surprises. For example, the Amish tradition very clearly differentiates between ‘owning something’ and ‘wearing something’. Or, put another way, not having a car does not mean that you cannot get a taxi. Or even hire people to drive Amish workers to factories in small vans. Nor can the internet be used in many communities, although no one prohibits using computers and the connection of public libraries to set up a web page.
Another clear distinction is between technology at home and technology at work. Home is off-limits, but it’s not uncommon to find dairies with refrigerators, farms with computer-controlled technology, or workshops full of standard tools. Well, not standard.

There is a very curious cottage industry that is dedicated to modifying electrical appliances so that they use compressed air instead of batteries. Many call pneumatic systems Amish electricity. There’s a huge offering of air-powered blenders, sewing machines, or washers in what looks almost like a ‘steampunk’ novel. Amish technology is totally based on old technology that they don’t use new technology.
In addition, driven by the autonomy that solar panels allow, electricity begins to be introduced little by little, driving calculators, welders or compressors with which to fill compressed air cylinders. And they don’t stop there.
On the cutting edge of Amish technology
Eric Brende lived for a year in different Amish communities to study what this curious process of “technology selection” was like. Examples are hundreds. The Amish have been one of the fastest growing communities to introduce GMOs. Mainly, because genetically modified varieties (such as, for example, shorter-stemmed wheat or tobacco ) make it possible to maintain traditional working methods, increasing productivity.
On the other hand, credit cards, despite the fact that they were used a lot at the beginning, were eventually rejected when it was seen that they generated problems of excess spending and indebtedness ( a very serious problem in the US ). Other technologies such as artificial insemination or mobile telephony have been debated for years.
The mobile phone, without going any further, is a tremendously controversial topic. A few years ago, communities used to have community telephones in relatively isolated booths. An emergency was an emergency, but when it comes to mobiles it is different. In 1999, Howard Rheingold went to investigate how mobiles were being integrated into Amish culture. At that time they had not made up their minds and to this day they still have not.
The Amish way of relating to technology
In Neal Stephenson’s latest book, there is a quote that says “it was a matter of friendship, a term coined eons ago by a Moran anthropologist to refer to the choices that different cultures made as to what technologies would be part of their lives and which ones did not. The word went back to the Amish of America, who had chosen to use certain modern technologies, such as skates, but not others, such as internal combustion engines. All cultures did so, frequently, without being aware that they had made a collective decision.”
The most curious thing about the Amish is that they are not anti-technological communities, they are not even collectives with a very strict interpretation of the precautionary principle (that of not using something new until we know for sure that it causes harm). On the contrary, the Amish are constantly adopting new technologies. As one Amish elder told Howard Rheingold, ” We don’t want to stop progress, we just want it to slow down.”

In fact, they are quite a group open to innovation. There are always early adopters in the communities. The big difference is that, as Kevin Kelly explained, they are very clear that if they end up deciding that this technology does not contribute anything to the community, they will abandon it. Or, as Stephenson would say, the big difference is that they do it consciously and voluntarily.
