The War Office
Somebody would like a word with you ...
Fellow Americans, Friends
We bid you a hearty welcome to our site and hope that you will find information and resources befitting the state of our great nation. Do not feel intimidated by the vast library of knowledge presented to you; we have made it easily accessible and fun (and no, you will not be monitored by the FBI or the CIA).
As the leader of the world we have to set an example for those not so fortunate to reside within our borders. America has, and always will be the chaperone of justice and liberty to other peoples, and I am the custodian of these good principles. Presently we are a nation at war, as we have been for most of the 20th century. That is what makes us special. Not that we make war, but that we care.
I therefore urge you, dear visitor, to allow us the chance to guide you to a better understanding of who we are, but more importantly, of who this extraodinary nation of Americans are. We hope that a greater power will protect you in these turbulent times and wish you all the best for 2004.
G.W.B.

Just because I care.
LISTER: It's stupid anyway, all this maintenance business. The only
reason they don't give this job to the service robots is they've got a better union than us.
...
RIMMER: Lister, that is absolute nonsense. Right. What's next?
(Reading his clipboard) "Botanical gardens: faulty power circuit. In corridor 147: sticking door."
LISTER: It's true, you know, though, Rimmer. You rank below all four of those service robots. Even the one that's gone absolutely mad.
RIMMER: Step up to Red Alert!
KRYTEN: Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb.

Genetic debugging
"The genome wasn't designed by a computer programmer, from top to bottom. It keeps evolving all the time. There are bits of the genome and RNA molecules that are probably not doing much. Maybe they did once, but they don't now. Or maybe they're evolving a function."
(From BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Scientists decipher 21,000 genes)
Hmm ... sounds like the genome was designed by a hacker to me ...

"HELLO? I'M ON THE TRAIN/BUS/WAY TO AN EARLY DEATH AT THE HANDS OF MY FELLOW COMMUTERS ..."
Jakob Nielsen considers a study into why mobile phones are annoying ...
"The researchers asked test participants to rate how annoyed they were by the mobile phone's ring tone. ... However, people didn't find the ring to be particularly bad, so the fact that mobile phones ring doesn't seem to explain why bystanders hate mobile-phone conversations.
[L]oudness wasn't the worst problem with mobile phones. In fact, even phone conversations in a normal voice received worse scores than face-to-face conversations. The worst problem seems to be that conversations on mobile phones are more noticeable than face-to-face conversations.
[T]he problem seems to be that people pay more attention when they hear only half a conversation. It's apparently easier to tune out the continuous drone of a complete conversation, in which two people take turns speaking, than it is to ignore a person speaking and falling silent in turns."

Oook.
This article at the Beeb website suggests using chimp 'language' in the workplace and that
"Instead of bitching about your terrifying boss behind their back, try showing them your fear by baring your teeth and using submissive body language such as lowering your head and crouching."

The War on Terrior
Normally, I don't like to single people out. Sometimes, however, it must be done.
On Amazon, Paul Cherry's reviews include this immortal phrase concerning Sting's new album, "Sacred Love":
The song, "This War"is a shrill and erroneous indictment of Bush hispursuit of the war on terrior.
"Hispursuit of the war on terrior"? Now I know things are pretty bad at the White House right now, but when did persecuting small dogs become government policy? "Cry 'havoc' and let slip the dogs of war"?
Which leads me to Paul's finest work, his "review" of Al Franken's book "Lies And the Lying Liars who Tell Them", which I have not read, but now, thanks to Paul, will. Once again, Paul's capacity for vitriol and invective far outstrips his command of the English language:
Al Franken is a liar himself. He wouldn't know the truth if it smacked him in his fat head. He is a liberial that hates Bush.
As a liberial, he thinks that his ilk is "entitled" to controlling the government. He also is an America hater. Guys like this muling, puking dolt should move to France. There he would be at able to agree with the spineless, ungrateful French when they spew their hate America bulls**t!
Gosh, and this from a self-professed Sting fan ...
I am particularly intrigued by the effortless suspension of any rational thought process and the seguι into an obligatory right-wing anti-French rant that this permits. He also scores extra critique points for raising the tone a bit by throwing in a bit of Shakespeare - "mewling and puking" - from Jacques' "All the world's a stage" speech on the seven ages of man ("As You Like It" Act II, Scene vii) although, sadly, the inevitable misspelling loses those points immediately. Shame.
Maybe Paul has some reason for putting up such personal diatribes thinly disguised as reviews, reaffirming the view of the right-wing that "liberials" have as he goes. Maybe he feels threatened. Or, as a patriotic Bush-loving American, he might feel unappreciated. Or maybe he just doesn't know how to set up a weblog and, frustrated, needs to vent his spleen on Amazon and in the guestbooks of unfortunate Canadian websites. Maybe we'll never know what ails him.
I do sympathise, though. Really. Many Americans like Paul feel that America is doing the right thing. By acting firmly and decisively, the good old US of A will sort everything out in the playground, bang a few heads together, take away some of the more dangerous toys from the more dangerous boys. And surely the President knows what he's doing ... doesn't he?
My opinion is that now, post-9/11, post-Tal{e|i}ban, post-Saddam, is a very unsafe time for everyone. And, thanks to America's interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, it will be for the next 50 years. Is Iraq better off without Saddam? Definitely. Is Iraq (or anywhere else, for that matter) a safer place for anyone right now? Definitely not. Will Iraq be a safe place in 10 years time? Who knows? Not for the hundreds of soldiers and Iraqi civilians who'll be killed in that time. And will the US be a safer place? Not by any definition of the word "safe". Al Qua{e|i}da are not doubt plotting some low-tech, high-explosive lunacy as you read this. Civil liberties have already been eroded faster than Bush can mispronounce "nuclear". And America's goodwill with the rest of the world has rarely been lower.
What's the solution? I wish I knew. If everybody could be nice to everybody else, it'd help. Failing that, the US needs to reconcile its expansionistic/colonialist military/industrial views with its inward-looking isolationist attitude in all other things - culture, religion and education spring to mind. US citizens need to take note that not everything the US does, says or produces, materially or culturally, necessarily benefits the rest of the world, and yes, that really is a problem although you might not think so. And yes, other countries have their own ways of doing things and their own cultures, too, which might be worth getting to know before dismissing out of hand or proposing a replacement by McDonalds.

Graph searching
1. Build query graph.
2. Enumerate unique paths through query graph up to path length 4.
3. Do the same for the search graphs.
4. List combinations of paths to uniquely traverse query graph.
5. Drop those search graphs that don't match in number of enumerated paths.
6. Finally match, join and trim the search graph paths which match the query graph paths.
