Evaluation of Election Results
With a massive campaign they could not muster 3% that Australian Labour party achieved.
Politics in a Nutshell

Politics in a Nutshell
1.Every thirds person did not bother to cast his or her vote.
In
other words 3 out of ten.
2. Every third person does not have a representative of his or choice.
In other words 3 out of ten but two out of three have a representative of choice.
In other words 7 out of ten.
3. 12 million out of 16 million did bother to vote.
In other words 4 million stayed at home.
4. 5% out of the total 76% voting public had destroyed or incorrectly marked the ballot paper.
In other words 1 out of 20 does not give a scant regard to its validity (staying at home was a better option).
A (5%) statistically significant figure.
5. Election commissioner and his team has done a wonderful job of putting out this data accurately within 10 to 11 hours of counting which is a creditable task.
I wish our super-grade public servant Mahinda Deshapriya and his brother Sunanda Deshapriya (old time leftist politician) in political wilderness in USA happy retirement out of politics in Ceylon.
In a way, the voter has closed the door for democracy by his own wish for a long time to come.
You cannot complain but bite the teeth or dust, in return.
Active opposition is the live wire of democracy but that little kindle has extinguished, after 70 years of vibrant but eventful history of our politics.
Deshapriya, Who is Currently Active?
Deshapriya, Who is Currently Active?
1. Sunanda
2. Mahinda
4. Wimal Weera Wansa
I think the last one.
Others are in the Historical Dustbin
Light Weight Portable Security Linux
Light Weight Portable Security Linux
My impact on Light Weight Portable Security was devastating and it has never recovered and it is dormant.
LPS-Public has been downloaded 17,467 times so far!
LPS
(Lightweight Portable Security) is an open source distribution of Linux
that provides users with a thin client designed to run directly from a
portable device and not to expose your private data and credentials to
anyone.
It has been created by the US Air Force Research Laboratory,
as part of their Software Protection Initiative project, and can be
used for PIV (Personal Identity Verification) or CAC (Common Access
Card) restricted government websites.
Distributed as Live CDs in multiple editions
The operating system is distributed as three Live CDs, LPS Public, LPS Public Deluxe, and LPS Remote Access.
They can be easily deployed to USB flash drives using the UNetbootin application, or written to blank CDs using any CD/DVD burning software.
The first two are available to the general public, but the third one has been specifically designed to be used by the United States Department of Defense (DoD), as well as various other US federal government agencies.
While
LPS Public is the smaller one and includes a minimal set of packages,
LPS Public Deluxe comes with a bigger collection of applications and
utilities.
They are both engineered to allow productive use of the Internet.
Trusted End Node Security (TENS), previously called Lightweight Portable Security (LPS), is a Linux-based live CD with a goal of allowing users to work on a computer without the risk of exposing their credentials and private data to malware, key loggers and other Internet-era ills.
It includes a minimal set of applications and utilities, such as the Firefox web browser or an encryption wizard for encrypting and decrypting personal files.
The live CD is a product produced by the United States of America's Department of Defense and is part of that organization's Software Protection Initiative.
Update and My comments
I have now tested L.P.S and it is below par in every respect except the size which is small enough to fit into a Mini CD.
Having said that it detected all my hardware and it looks like it has taken Redhat (at least the GTK and the toolkit) toolkit as the base by looking at its squarish graphic outputs.
I am not going to detail all the pitfalls but warn newbies not to use it and go for Peppermint which is good for you guys and girls.
Even Peppermint gets 750 out of my 1000 points which is being revised by me recently.I am not going to state how much it gets from my scale of points, fearing, few of the developers might get heart attacks.
Any
distribution without Muliti-Language capability gets minus 250 and only
Debian and Fedora gets about 200 points, for that feature.
LPS is only in English and No Sinhala means, it as discriminating small guys in smaller countries which is against U.N.O charter.
Only Debian supports Sinhala as a living language and Fedora also does a reasonable job in that respect but because of its rapid change (including partition type) I cannot recommend Fedora.
As for my final comment for LPS anybody including a newbie who uses root permission at lib is naked enough to be insane in a Linux community.
Rooting naked is not in anyway a gamesmanship.
So if you want to be naked or insane use LPS at lib.
Otherwise I have listed SliTaz which is 34 MB and 4MLinux which is 50MB (4Ms stands for Mini Server, Multimedia, Maintenance (security), Miracle-games) in this blog site recently, would fit in your Mini CD.
LPS cannot match these two and has a big security hole to plug.
If you are like me download and use it for irrational fun.
Happy Independence day to all Americans and would be (aspiring) Americans!
Light Weight Portable, (Private) and Secure or is it?
It looks like American Defense Industry is doing catching up service (activity).
It is 20 years too late of course with Linux.
Sometime Americans let me laugh at myself.
I am not anti-american (there is no word called antiamerican in the American Dictionary, unfortunately) in philosophy but in ideology.
My theme is small is beautiful.
The American ideology is bigger the best.
The Thinking Big is IBM philosophy.
In other words, the richer an American becomes better is for the world.
The American dream is to become rich from cradle to the grave, even if you are not a politician.
Our dream is to let only politicians become rich by default especially if they administer cricket.
My
theme is "become rich just enough to become small in thinking of
becoming big but big in thinking to be sustainable and not become a big
White (Black or Yellow or Brown) Pest in this world which cannot afford to sustain anymore of them with scarce resources.
I like one American Philosophy and that is to be liberal in thinking not aristocratic or regimented like in a orthodox religion.
Become a free thinker and an open inquirer in other words "Kalama Sutta of Buddha".
The
WiKiLeakes has done enough damage to American esteem and reputation and
they are adopting some of my Linux strategy in practice.
United States of America's Department of Defense has produced a Linux Live CD for public use probably for Americans abroad and would be non-american spies in the Middle East (Not necessary in Ceylon, we do not have secrets that Americans do not know except the last two days of our departure or radio silence when most essential silence was maintained by the defense establishment which American have to come here and learn from our Big Ball Boys of Cricket-how to land a carom ball or a googly at will- we never tell English boys how much Mahela is going to score in the next match or the World Cup final).
Ceylon is the only country in this world where Americans do not need to have any secret spies and our defense secretary is American by registration and does not trust Americans a wee bit but our mothers would be when pregnant, do not say Baby going to London town but My Baby is going to New York or Washington or Chicago is the current theme and from mothers to fathers to babies will give American embassy their money to spy on our mother Lanka.
It is amazing to see they are stealing my original Ceylonese ideas and I feel bit flushed and bit redundant in thinking now.
1.
Number one is I promote Light Weight (Bonobo type of Linux
distributions-Slit is only 30 MiB) distributions in Linux, including Puppy is my favorite.
2. Number two of my dream ideas is to make all distribution Public including Microsoft and Apple which are all American Creations with serious bugs when WiKILeaks used them to exposed American wits.
In other words American inventions are the most reliable security lapses that we can exploit to get American secrets.
3. For security I say go for Linux and the Americans have turned to Linux for safety and security but leaving daring loop holes in executing them.
Having said that they are new to Linux and one never uses root permission (only when one roots on top of a problem or underdog) to boot but their Live CD is already booted and rooted all the time like American based French IMF guys.
Another alarming feature is hashed passwords are stored in the would be-readable /etc/passwd file, that can be cracked.
The funniest part and which I laugh at length is they are promoting my Anti-Microsoft stance from the DoD (Department of Defense) which accepts Microsoft as the Biggest American Love and Liability.
Another great idea is to use Flash which recently had breached security through Firefox browser.
These
Americans in the Defense Department got them all wrong and Linus
Torvalds must be laughing nonstop like over nonstop singers and dancers.
American
please use this distribution at your own liberty and risk but non-Americans beware that this must be another ploy to make some unrest
in the Middle East which they are fast losing ground.
I am downloading it and it will be very elaborate when I give my next comment.
If
you need more details please visit www.distrowatch.com weekly review
but their description lacks funny tone coming from America.
American do not know how to laugh at themselves and DoD has given them a big opportunity.
Use that opportunity to laugh and there is freedom at your disposal to laugh at self, Linux-wise, which is a healthy habit.
I do not know what their future plans are but project without a vision or fun won't last long.
But I will be very nosy in any case when an update comes with bug fixes.
Reality
Reality
1. We are one gravity people.
We cannot neither live on space nor on Mars.
By the way, Mars do not have plate tectonics and rock formation. I think it has a thick mantle.
I am not sure if there is any water in its belly.
2. Without water man cannot survive.
70% of our brain is water.
60% of our body is water.
In infants it is 80%.
Water intoxication and electrolyte imbalance are critical in new born babies.
Baby 70%
Man 60%
Woman 50
3. We are 24/7 people and any alteration in our sleep/awake cycle alter our melatonin secretion and biorhythm.
4. Van Allan Belt is not narrow.
5. Even Moons atmosphere is alien to humans.
Its geostationary (we never see the darker side) orbit is not conducive for our melatonin secretion.
The bottom line is let only rich people spend their money on rockets and we ordinary people think of global warming and biodiversity.
Physics and Dhamma
Physics and Dhamma
Come to think about it
Energy is the least understood
But easily and often
Misquoted out of context
In science and in journalism
If I ask the question
The answer is not clear cut
Then I ponder for a little while,
And ask again
Which has more energy
Matter in motion
Or the matter remaining still?
In my class of adults
When I delve in further
And ask,
What is the smallest particle having energy?
Is it the electron, the neutron, the proton or the quarks?
Then when I ask what is the smallest unit of energy?
A photon
Or a wave
Now that I am in deep waters
Not understanding
All these concepts
What shall do to move any further?
State of the matter
Is such that
If each particle
Carries loads of energy
What is the essential force that
Intrinsically bind them together
And hold them tight?
In relation to position
They keep
In space and time
While allowing free
Moving particles to move
Without much hindrance
Rather than that,
With minimum interference
From its neighbouring
Particles of existence
If only the moving particles have
Mass, velocity and energy
That goes with the momentum of forces
What is the principle that
I should apply to my body of interest
Where me standing still
On this planet earth
Has no energy
Until I decide to kick a football
With a force
Now who has the energy my leg muscles or my football or both?
Energy and Forces in action?
I wonder
Then again I should have
Some energy to stand on Earth
Much less if I stand on Moon
What about moon walking,
Sweet talking and
On this universal universe
What are the energy consumption of all these activities on earth, on its outer boundaries and in the space in between?
The mind
That made me to kick the ball
Should have either some energy or force
I argue
Since the Mind
That made me to kick the ball
In the first place
Made the movement of the ball
Possible
Until such time the
Mother earth decided to
Abort it abruptly in its journey
In space and time
Have some control over my mind
In fact, the matter over my mind
Rather than mind over matter
In this instance
Bees, flies, mosquitoes and birds can fly
And in their case
They decide to fly away
As they wish
And also control
The start and stop
Of the flight
As desirable
So birds and bees
Have more energy than me
And humanoids
Staggeringly confusing
Isn't it?
So who has more energy
The Mind (Kicking)
The Matter (Ball)
The Motion (Transition)
The Bees (in Flight)
Or the mother Earth (Gravity)
That stopped the ball in its trajectory?
I wish the answer
Is clear enough
For a kiddy
I am not kidding
The answer to those questions
Are open to inquiry in a
Philosophical Sense
Now that I am beginning to
Think as a Thinker
But not as a Scientist
Who would provide me
The answers to the scientific tenets
That were raised in an open forum
Of inquiry
What is more powerful
Energy wise
The Thinking Mind
Or the Science in Action
I believe the former rather than the latter
Since the mind can penetrate
These concepts at will
Or at leisure
What is the energy and what is the force
The mind's energy by its very nature
Is probably far more superior
In its contents and activity
When used wisely and appropriately
Subtle and pervasive
Penetrating
The truths of all kinds
It is the mother superior
Of Wisdom
Now winding up my thought process
Who had used more force
The Italian Parvo Rotti's Goal Header
The French Zidane Zidane's Head butt
An ordinary Ceylonese (my) with a Penalty Kick
At the goal post of Wisdom
Sans destruction
The power of the Mind
Could be ascertained
By intense focus
And attention
To its moment of Origin
And the Energy of its consumption
Can only be harnessed
By sustained
Commitment and Conformity to details of
Metta, Anapana Sati or any object of
Attention sans attachment
And the Competence
By that intention
It is achieved
By the wise
The Arhaths
The Buddhas
And Passeka Buddhas
Of today, tomorrow, yesterday
And now in this moment of
Universal extension
Of the timeless dimensions
Of the Sansara Cycle
