Let It Bleed / teenage killer obsessed with Satan, knives and sex
« on: May 06, 2005, 09:57:00 AM »
AT THE age of 14 Luke Mitchell was already a brooding outsider, obsessed with Satan, drugs, knives and sex.
The lank-haired, black-clad teenager liked to shock classmates and teachers at St David?s High School, Dalkeith, by scribbling Satanic verses on his jotters and calmly stubbing out lit cigarettes on his arm.
He carved the numbers 666 into his arm using a compass and wrote in an essay: ?Once you have shaken hands with the Devil then you have truly experienced life.?
Mitchell?s angst-ridden posturing and the enjoyment he appeared to take in others? discomfort excluded him from the mainstream at school. He skipped classes to smoke cannabis in a nearby park and hang out in an Edinburgh cemetery with a group of Goths who shared his passion for black clothes, shock-rocker Marilyn Manson and the music of the grunge band Nirvana.
A clever but callous teenager, he boasted that he smoked hundreds of cannabis joints a week, carried knives to school and was allowed to have sex with girlfriends at home despite being under-age.
Classmates described him as arrogant. One recalled him saying: ?I can just imagine myself going out and getting stoned and killing somebody and how funny it would be.?
Jodi Jones was one of the few people who claimed to see another side to Mitchell. She wrote in her diary that he was ?so sweet? and confided that she had fallen in love.
Friends said she felt they had something in common, both coming from single-parent families. Jodi?s father, Jimmy, committed suicide in 1999. But her devotion meant nothing to Mitchell. He two-timed her with Kimberley Thomson, who bore a striking resemblance to Jodi.
Mitchell was raised in a chaotic household. His parents, Corinne and Philip, separated when he was ten and his mother, a caravan dealer, had little control over her younger son.
She did nothing to discourage his obsession with the occult and seemed not to know or care that he was taking drugs and having under-age sex.
For his 15th birthday Corinne Mitchell, 45, took her son to a tattoo parlour. The Christmas after Jodi Jones was stabbed to death, she bought him a knife.
In the months leading up to Jodi?s death, Mitchell?s nihilistic outpourings went unchecked. ?Satan lives,? he scrawled on a school book. ?I have tasted the Devil?s green blood,? he wrote on another.
?Evil is the way?, ?Depression is only a stage in my life so f*** off and stay out of my mind?, and ?the finest day I ever had was when tomorrow never came? ? a quote from the Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain ? were among slogans that appeared on his book covers.
In an essay denying the existence of God, submitted five months before he killed Jodi, Mitchell wrote: ?If you ask me, God is just a futile excuse at most for a bunch of fools to go around annoying others who want nothing to do with him.
?Are these people insane? People like you need Satanic people like me to keep the balance. Once you shake hands with the Devil you then have truly experienced life.?

Open Free for All / Paris Hilton cell phone hack
« on: February 28, 2005, 04:53:00 PM »
* You might have caught wind of the Paris Hilton cell phone hack last week. Apparently, some pranksters got into the idiot heiress' T-Mobile Sidekick account and dug up scads of celebrity phone numbers, which were instantly published on the Internet.
* The Sidekick is a combination cell phone and personal digital assistant (PDA). The pranksters didn't hack into Miss Hilton's cell phone per se, but instead accessed the Internet account where her cell phone's data was stored.
* No, I do not like Paris Hilton; I cannot bring myself to accept fame without substance. But perhaps this airhead can serve a useful purpose here. The reason the attention whore's PDA was hacked was that her password was easy to guess: tinkerbell, which is the name of her sad little pet Chihuahua.
* Folks, your password should never be obvious. Emaciated, immoral Hollywood celebrities take note: The names of pets or children should never be used. Stick a number in your password for extra protection. You can find other password hints in my books. It's a corrupt world, so you can be tawdry with your social life, but be smart with your passwords.
* If you think I'm being unduly harsh on Miss Hilton, consider this: All the graphics images found on her cell phone account were pictures of . . . herself!

Uploading (sometimes called "mind uploading") is the hypothetical process of transferring a mind from a biological brain to a computer. The idea is that by scanning the synaptic structure of a brain, we could implement the same computations on a computer that would normally take place in the brain. If you think the essence of yourself is information -- your memories, values, attitudes and emotions --rather than the gray, cheesy lump inside your skull, then you might view your identity as being preserved in this process. The scanning could be accomplished by means of nanotechnology. Uploading should work for cryonics patients provided their brains are frozen in a sufficiently intact state.
Uploads could live in an artificial reality (i.e. constructed computer simulated environment). An option would be to have robot bodies and sensors so they can resume their lives in physical reality. The subjective time of uploads would depend on how fast the computers are on which they are running. Uploads could be distributed over vast computer networks and they could make frequent backup copies of themselves. This should make it possible for uploads indefinite life spans. Uploads could subsist on a very small amount of resources compared to a biological human, since they don't need physical food or shelter or transportation. Uploads could reproduce extremely quickly (simply by making copies of themselves). This implies that resources could quickly become scarce unless reproduction is limited.
