Uzbekistan måste upphöra med regelmässig användning av tortyr och sluta förfölja människorättsaktivister som avslöjar regimens brott, anser FN:s kommitté mot tortyr.

En 18-åring som mobilfilmade en flicka mot hennes vilja och visade för vänner, frias från åtal för grovt förtal.

Honduras är ett av världens våldsammaste länder. Runt 20 personer dödas varje dag i olika våldsbrott. Gängproblematiken och knarkkartellers inflytande håller landet i skräck. Under hösten sattes en nyskapad militärpolisstyrka in för att bekämpa det skenande våldet. Här bevakar dom en gata som utgör gränsen mellan gänget Mara 18 och Mara Salvatruchas olika territorium i en av Tegucigalpas våldsammaste områden.

I've been finding more applications for BitTorrent Sync, which is a peer-to-peer file sharing utility that works much like Dropbox, without storing the files on a central server.

I've been looking for a reliable way to back up the S3 bucket that serves the content for scripting.com. I want to maintain a copy on one of my servers and desktop computer. I'm also working with a university library to create a permanent archive of the site. That's an interesting project because the site is changing all the time, as I add new blog posts, so we need a sync protocol, not to just save off a snapshot.

Chuck Shotton suggested using BitTorrent Sync, and I set it up and it's really nice. As an experiment, I want to share this content with anyone who reads this site.

For new BT Sync users

• Download and install BitTorrent Sync.
• Launch the app.
• This dialog should appear.
• Click on the I Have a Secret radio button, and enter this string below it.
• BEJ77EYTJFLI2DY7WZ2PKKLGJMO2H2MUC
• In the next dialog, choose a folder where the contents of scripting.com will be stored.
• As soon as you click Next, BTS will start downloading the archive.

If you already have BT Sync

• Click on the Folders tab in the BitTorrent Sync app.
• Click the + icon in the lower left corner of the window.
• A dialog opens.
• 
• Where it calls for you to enter a "secret key" enter this string:
• BEJ77EYTJFLI2DY7WZ2PKKLGJMO2H2MUC
• Choose a location for the folder to receive the content of scripting.com.
• Click OK.

What will happen

• There may be a delay of a minute or two before it starts downloading the content.
• You can see the progress in the History panel.
• It takes about 50 minutes to download the full contents of the folder, which is 2.2GB with 71,819 files.

jones_supa writes "John Carmack has left id Software completely. 'John Carmack, who has become interested in focusing on things other than game development at id, has resigned from the studio,' id's studio director Tim Willits told IGN, and continues: 'John's work on id Tech 5 and the technology for the current development work at id is complete, and his departure will not affect any current projects. We are fortunate to have a brilliant group of programmers at id who worked with John and will carry on id's tradition of making great games with cutting-edge technology. As colleagues of John for many years, we wish him well.' Carmack, a co-founder of id, recently joined Oculus VR as Chief Technology Officer, and at the time remained at id Software in some capacity. Earlier this year, id president Todd Hollenshead departed id as well."
