Thai students celebrate graduation with Hitler
Or perhaps we're giving the kids too much credit. There's only so much that can be blamed on lost in translation and this kind of stupid requires a level of ignorance that is difficult to fathom.
Either way it's a sure sign that Chula needs to have their students read some fucking history books.

'Fucking hell, I’m in a track from Heathen Earth!'
...It must have been when the World Cup was on, ‘cause they had these tabs going ‘round called Bobby Charltons, and I had one of the most intense, amazing experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve never been one for psychedelic sunrises and all that shit, we were more up for roaming over to a factory and making a load of noise. We ended up doing that that night, and it turned out we’d woken up half of the neighbourhood by the time we were done. We’d not really thought about the consequences. On the way we’d gone down this alley, and I swear blind I was seeing wolves in the bushes. It was dark as fuck, and Heathen Earth just seemed to fit.
Purported E-Mail From Snowden Asks for Meeting With Rights Groups
Officials at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport said that Edward J. Snowden,
the fugitive American intelligence contractor, plans to meet with representatives of international human rights organizations at the
airport on Friday afternoon, breaking his silence after spending nearly
three weeks in the airport’s transit zone...
How Microsoft handed the NSA access to encrypted messages
The files provided by Edward Snowden illustrate the scale of co-operation between Silicon Valley and the intelligence agencies over the last three years. They also shed new light on the workings of the top-secret Prism program, which was disclosed by the Guardian and the Washington Post last month.
The documents show that:
• Microsoft helped the NSA to circumvent its encryption to address concerns that the agency would be unable to intercept web chats on the new Outlook.com portal;
• The agency already had pre-encryption stage access to email on Outlook.com, including Hotmail;
• The company worked with the FBI this year to allow the NSA easier access via Prism to its cloud storage service SkyDrive, which now has more than 250 million users worldwide;
• Microsoft also worked with the FBI's Data Intercept Unit to "understand" potential issues with a feature in Outlook.com that allows users to create email aliases;
• In July last year, nine months after Microsoft bought Skype, the NSA boasted that a new capability had tripled the amount of Skype video calls being collected through Prism;
• Material collected through Prism is routinely shared with the FBI and CIA, with one NSA document describing the program as a "team sport"...

More quackery
I don't believe that there is sufficient science to warrant university education. I think they should get out of the chiropractic business. There simply isn't enough fundamental science in chiropractic to warrant a five-year course. And, I think, the universities, by supplying these courses, give credibility. Those people would be much better off spending their time enrolling in a physiotherapy course and learning a whole lot of practical evidence-based skills. There's no place for chiropractic in a really strong, academically-based university.

This Is Not a Test: Emergency Broadcast Systems Prove Hackable
Several models of Emergency Alert System decoders, used to break into TV and radio broadcasts to announce public safety warnings, have vulnerabilities that would allow hackers to hijack them and deliver fake messages to the public, according to an announcement by a security firm on Monday.
The vulnerabilities included a private root SSH key that was distributed in publicly available firmware images that would have allowed an attacker with SSH access to a device to log in with root privileges and issue fake alerts or disable the system...
