Dodgy IT companies; Savvis

I'm about to publish a list of dodgy IT companies etc who keep trying to access my computer according to Peerblock. But here is one who's prevented me from accessing Men Can Stop Rape: Savvis.

Here's wikipedia's entry on their dodgy activities, the resignation of their security officer and his release of internal documents re said activities: Savvis dodgy.

Stavudine, Lipodystrophy and the Developing World

I find it strange that the HIV anti-retroviral drug stavudine is being phased out of the developed world mostly because of concerns about lipodystrophy. Maybe fat-fuck rich people need a bit of lipodystrophy. Although those pot-bellies on kids in the third world are unattractive to potential celebrity serial-adopters. Lose some weight, get in shape!

Neologisms: Salignoria, Salignorophilia and Salignorophobia

Salignoria means being unaware of an insult being thrown at you.

Salignorophilia means loving it when someone doesn't understand that you've insulted them.

Salignorophobia means being annoyed that someone is unaware that you've subtly insulted them.

Salignorophobia is my favourite because i love inducing it in other people who've thrown subtle passive aggressive slights at me. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing the anger on someone's face when they see your expression of feigned blissful ignorance after working really hard at coming up with a subtle insult against you that you can't confront directly or eg report word-for-word to an employer as bullying. I learnt it from practising it on my step-mother when young.
