Isn't that the way you're meant to do it? Think concept cars.
Yes, as I tried to say, I guess it's the right way compared to the alternatives. Though the Lian-Li's "Concept cars" have been IMO so ugly they might just have left them in the sketchbooks alltogether.
good god that case is RANK!
It's ugly sure, unless that's your kind of thing, but it's a well made and quite well thought out case. But why that shade of blue? It would have looked a lot less shocking in a simple black or silver, although that would have been boring I guess.
why the hate? This case will be loved by many. Should Lian Li lose out on potential profit just to do their old boring straight ALu cases? Some people want more curves.
I think it's nice that Lian Li experiments with new designs like this. Even if it's not your cup of tea it's still good build quality.

Phishing emails 2020-12-29 15:18:44
Brandon Wilson
When I first started with my second client, I received an email my first week indicating that I needed to complete some compliance training. I didn't think twice about it because a) it looked legit to me and b) I had just started, and it would make sense that I would have some compliance training to complete. I clicked on the link and was taken to the company's website that chided me for clicking on the link, which was a test. It was an educational experience and a good reminder that we have to stay vigilant, especially as email phishing scams become much more nuanced and sophisticated.
Scottsdale, Arizona-based company GoDaddy had to issue a mea culpa recently due to the same practice of sending a fake phishing email to their employees. The issue is that the email sent to employees offered a Christmas bonus of $650 and asked them to fill out a form with personal details. Around 500 employees clicked on the link, and two days later they received another email indicating that it was a test and they failed. GoDaddy claims that it had previously communicated to employees that there would be no bonuses this year, but that didn't stop many people from expecting one after the bogus email went out.
I understand that GoDaddy was trying to entice employees to make a point about email scams, but this one was in poor taste. The company deserves public shaming for this cause célèbre.

Why do you feel this one was in poor taste? This seems like as high fidelity of phishing as one can can get?
It's certainly bad timing. I wouldn't want to work for a company that decides to pull a fake bonus on its employees around the holidays.
Mmm timing then. The number of people who fell for it though unnerves me. However I think this is inevitable at large corporations with lower intimacy in communication. This probably would never happen at a well-run <40 person SMB.

— Elizabeth Banks (@ElizabethBanks) December 17, 2018
On Monday, Gov. Bill Haslam said he was still weighing Brown's clemency case. He has until Jan. 19 - the end of his time in office - to make a decision.
Brown, 30, was found guilty of killing Johnny Allen in 2004 and was sentenced to life in prison when she was 16 years old. Advocates say Brown was a teenage victim of sex trafficking and was unfairly punished.
Schumer, who is best known for her Comedy Central series "Inside Amy Schumer," is one of a number of celebrities supporting Brown. Brown's case gained national attention after pop superstar Rihanna demanded justice for Brown on her Instagram page last year.
Kim Kardashian West, who helped a Tennessee woman get her life sentence commuted, has also tweeted her support for Brown.
Brown will not be eligible for parole until 2055, which is 51 years after she was first sentenced.

Here are tips on where to see puffins in Scotland. (Sometimes they aren't as easy to spot as you might think.) Also how to behave before a puffin – plus a plug for other auks, who get jealous of their cute cousin. NB puffins may look comical but this does not mean they have a sense of humour.
You'd like to know where to see puffins in Scotland? But you're not an especially avid birdwatcher? Admit it, you just like puffins? That's fine – a lot of visitors to Scotland are like you.
If I told you I could show you what are probably Scotland's most northerly pair of breeding yellow wagtails you'd probably feign vague but polite interest.
But now that I've mentioned puffins I see you're already reaching for the camera and making drooly noises. What is it about puffins?
(Pictured here). Puffins in north-west Scotland.
A grouse about puffins in Scotland
OK, I'll tell you where to see puffins in a minute. (Or, at least, I'll point you towards some puffiny places.) First I want to make a plea for their cousins, the rest of the auk tribe.
Auks are a kind of seabird of roughly small penguin shape, usually black and white. On the other side of the Atlantic from Scotland, they are called murres, a name you never hear here.
Where to see puffins in Scotland – some examples of the locations.
(Pictured here) Some places to see puffins in Scotland. Obviously I can't put in every cliff-face. It's just a sample really. There are lots more Scottish puffin locations.
Anyway, we call the most common species of auk a guillemot, the name deriving from a diminutive version of the French name Guillaume (William).
And the thing to remember about guillemots, the puffin's cousin, is that they are really jealous of their colourfully-beaked relative.
Why? Because – and I've seen it myself so often – picture this scene.
There's the visitor. In front of them is a cliff, covered, stacked, thronged with guillemots (and razorbills), all braying and pecking and shuffling in the confined ledges.
There are hundreds and hundreds of auks packed together – a seabird city spectacle that assaults all senses (Boy, this birdy biomass sure can smell fishy.) But wait…
At that point the visitor will say 'So where are the puffins?' Small wonder the guillemots get jealous.
There they are, all these auks, doing their best to be entertaining – and all you want to see is the guy with that strap-on stupid beak?
"You think you know what a puffin looks like? Well, of course you do if the little birdie wanders up to you and looks cute."
One other point about puffins. They are considered to be so cute that they have their own cutesy kind of vocabulary.
Baby puffins are, apparently, pufflings. Puffins live in puffineries. Puffins in captivity are kept in puffinariums. Only joking about the last one. But feel free to make up your own puffin-speak. I know I intend to.
(Pictured here) Puffins at Hermaness, Shetland.
How to spot a puffin in Scotland
You think you know what a puffin looks like? Well, of course you do if the little beast wanders up to you and looks cute. It's that beak, plus the eye make-up. And, yes, they are surprisingly tame when you get close.
But remember, some of the places where you might see puffins are pretty much mixed in with where you'll see the rest of their cousins.
Remember? The boring old guillemots, tedious razorbills – and let's not forget the black guillemot or tystie, much as I know you want to…
Tysties are inconspicuous and tend to be in small groups. They nest in screes and rocky places.
Nobody ever drooled over a black guillemot, but I like 'em.
(Pictured below) This is not a puffin. It's a black guillemot. Sometimes called a tystie. This one's just caught a fish.
Black guillemot in Stromness harbour, Orkney.
Anyway, there you are on the top of a cliff. Fulmars float by superciliously looking down their tube noses at you. There are black and white auks whirring below.
I'd say you'll recognise a fly-by puffin by the orange legs ahead of the beak.
No, I don't mean it flies feet first, I just mean the orange is surprisingly conspicuous. The feet stick out like brake-lights.
Same applies if you are casually puffin-spotting from the rail of, say, a CalMac or Northlink ferry. This is a fine way of spending part of a sea-passage in Scotland. Just scan these auks pattering away from the bow-wash.
Very occasionally one of these (apparently) totally tedious guillemots will turn out to be an absolutely charming and captivating puffin.
Guillemots at St Abb's Head, Berwickshire (Scottish Borders).
The fact that you've spotted a few puffins will give you moderate bragging rights when you go back into the lounge, though not as much as casually remarking that you'd seen dolphin or killer whale.
(Sure, it happens. Johanna once heard a CalMac skipper singing out 'minke whales on the starboard bow' on the ship's PA system.)
Keep an eye – auks on the water
Anyway, back in puffin world, yes, keep an eye on auks on the water.
Have those binoculars handy, of course, and, yes again, on the water you obviously can't see the feet so look for the beak and head.
Just now and again you'll spot one or two – gasp – puffins.
They're a very sociable lot, the other auks like guillemots and razorbills, pictured here. (Oh, wait. I think I've cropped out the razorbills.) In comparison, puffins are a little stand-offish.
Anyway, these other auks are comfortable in big numbers, nesting side by side on these shelves and ledges, sometimes also in company with that sea-going delicate-looking gull, the kittiwake.
The kittiwake is easily recognised by…oh, never mind, let's stick with those dang puffins.
Typical puffin habitat. Grassy, steep and riddled with burrows. This is actually at Hermaness, Shetland.
Your cuddly friends with the clown-face prefer to keep their domestic affairs out of sight. They nest in burrows.
So there's no point in scanning the vertical rock-faces where they'd need little puffinous pick-axes to make holes in the first place. (See puffin tool-using – yes, really – lower down the page.)
Look for puffins in Scotland on steep grassy cliffs, or those parts of cliffs with scree or, in general, where it's that bit greener (indicating soil rather than bare rock).
Sure, they'll pose about on rocks but, in the main, they're usually a little aside from the main throng and nearly always in smaller numbers.
The home life of the puffin in Scotland (and everywhere else, probably)
Early in the season they come in off the sea and hang about, just off their breeding colonies. Sometimes they wheel around in great flocks.
Then they get down to the serious business of decorating their burrows with a single large egg.
Puffins respond to increasing light levels and put on their breeding dress – they're much more drab out at sea in the winter.
The orange on the legs and bill is a concentration of carotenoid pigments, built up from a diet of carotenoid-rich fish. (Well, they're hardly going to get it from the health-food store, are they?)
In Iceland, where they still hunt puffins (no comment necessary), they splash orange paint on the rocks and and wear orange clothes as puffins are attracted to orange.
Maybe you photographers want to try that if you want real close-ups?
Puffins in the north of Scotland. Accessible colony, too many visitors being disrespectful to puffins these days. So no location given, just this once.
OK, I know enough now about how to recognise a puffin. Please stop doing a plug for other auks in general and tell me where in Scotland I should go?
Where to see puffins in Scotland
Puffinaceous encounters take two forms here. The first kind is when you see them through binoculars from above and if you were to get any closer you would kill yourself by falling a very long way into the sea.
Puffins don't live in parks. The second kind of experience, much sought after by puffinaphiliacs, is where you can, literally, stroll up to the birds.
Obviously, the terrain will be gentler but you can be sure that somewhere close by will be the vertiginous plunge to your doom, so take care, will you? Puffins are always to be found close to or on the sea.
Puffins on the island of Staffa, accessible by boat trips from Mull.
Island of Staffa is good for puffins.
Most importantly, though you may hear puffins give a kind of deep yet nervous laugh, this does not give them a sense of humour.
Being a puffin in Scotland is probably a deadly serious business, what with the sandeel shortages and all that burrowing playing havoc with the plumage in the breeding season.
The most important thing to remember during your potentially rewarding puffinesque encounters is that while you might be thrilled to see them, the feeling is unlikely to be reciprocated, clown outfit or not.
The most you can hope for is a kind of fishy indifference. So, give them space, don't get in the way and don't fall off the edge.
Incidentally, the puffin pics here were taken on the island of Staffa. While the rest of the group were looking at the basalt columns, Johanna went off looking for puffins. And found some.
Puffin places on the Scottish coasts…
All right. Here we go. If crossing north over the Scottish Border on the east side, then St Abb's Head is just a few minutes away. Eyemouth and St Abbs are signposted from the main A1.
There are a few at the National Nature reserve at St Abbs, but you certainly won't be strolling up to them. There are many more out on the Forth islands, eg Isle of May. (Find out more at North Berwick's Scottish Seabird Centre.)
Then, carrying on up the east coast, for high-profile visitor haunts, there is a bit of a gap.
There are some puffins about wherever there are suitable nesting habitats as described – for instance at Fowlsheugh (RSPB Reserve) below Stonehaven and also the cliffs by Muchalls, above Stonehaven – just two more slightly puffinous places on this east coast stretch.
Then it's round and into the sunny Moray Firth, where there are also a few at Troup Head (RSPB Reserve and boyhood haunt) though everyone associates this place with gannets these days.
To be honest – and this is as much to do with geology as anything else – it isn't until you are seriously up north that you get into a few 'stroll up to them and snap a cutesy picture' situations.
For example, if you head north to Caithness and park at Duncansby Head Lighthouse and walk south to get the standard pictures of the Stacks of Duncansby, then there are puffins on the grassy sections of the cliffs en route.
But your approach to them isn't as easy as, say, the quite famous ones at Faraid Head near Durness. (Don't get too close to these, will you? These are already popular puffins.)
Puffins are something of a birdy speciality on the Northern Isles. There they are called 'tammy norries' – a word, may I say, that I have only ever read in tourist guides and, for all I know, could originally have been invented by a guidebook writer and been repeated ever since.
Anyway, puffinoidal hotspots in Orkney include, Westray, Papa Westray and Copinsay, plus a few at Marwick Head.
Shetland is also extremely puffinized. I've seen great views of them at Sumburgh Head – just look over the wall of the road up to the lighthouse (the ultimate in easy puffin-ogling, I would say).
They are also on the island of Noss in some numbers, while you can also patronise a puffin or two at Hermaness right at the very top of Shetland. I know I have. (Another place where you can stroll up to them , though slowly and carefully and with respect, as noted above.)
Puffin sketch. Gosh the beak proportions aren't easy.
Pictured here) Tentative puffin sketch, done while hanging over the edge of this huge precipice…you don't believe that bit, do you?
Several places on the western seaboard are also puffin hotspots.
The general rule is that if it is an island that is isolated and sometimes hard to get to, then the chances are it'll have huge numbers of puffins.
The island of Handa, north of Lochinver, however, is fairly easily accessible and includes puffins on its birdy menu.
The Shiants out in the Minch and also the Treshnish Isles are well known. The puffin pictures here were captured by Johanna on Staffa, an island more associated with Fingal's Cave.
And do you know, she just took these with her phone? I was outraged. Why can't she use a proper heavy cumbersome photography-martyr's camera like I do (at least, sometimes), for goodness sake? For Staffa, the Isle of Mull is a good base to stay.
Best Time to See Puffins?
So, to conclude, I'd say it should be straightforward to nail your puffins, so long as you come between, say, April – but not too early – and August. You won't find any outside that time frame. And don't get too hung up on just puffins.
There's a lot of other interesting stuff going on along the seaboard. You might even get to like guillemots and other Scottish birds.
Oh, wait – stop press and all that – early in 2020 it was announced that puffinologists (presumably) had observed and filmed puffins actually using tools. When they said tools, obviously they didn't mean wee sets of spanners or whatever.
No, but they did see puffins, at a colony in Wales and at another in Iceland, pick up twigs and scratch themselves in otherwise awkward places. Can you believe it, could the birdies get any cuter?
Anyway, as I see you are still reading, then here are plenty of puffinous facts – just so you can be totally auk-aware.
* Puffins lay a single egg only a little under one fifth of their own body weight.
*Male and female puffins look more or less identical, (except to other puffins, presumably) but wear their clown gear only for the breeding season.
*They don't breed until they are at least four, sometimes older and very often return to the site where they were born.
*Researchers say that the 'divorce rate' amongst puffins is between 7-13% – so that's nice for them. You can easily imagine these long-established couples bickering in their burrows over whose turn it is for the fishing trip.
*They oldest puffin ringed by scientists – and whose ring was found – was over 30 years old. It's possible that puffins live even longer than that.
But hang on, there's even more you should know about puffins…and if this doesn't make you step back and give 'em some space and respect, then…
Being a breeding puffin
While feeding up their chick from 2 oz (57g) at birth to 12 oz (340g) a month later, puffins rack up some pretty impressive sea-going statistics. Each parent at sea may dive between 600 and 1150 times daily for the sandeel or sprats or capelin.
(What's capelin? I had to look it up. It's wee sprat-like North Atlantic fish. Ironically, one of the first results I found for it showed it in a small pack, being sold as dog-food.
Imagine that, some puffin has got to fly and then dive even further for food for the chick, just so someone can give their indulged mutt a treat. What's wrong with finely chopped liver?)
Anyway, talking of dives, many of them are less than 50 ft (15m). Some are as deep as 200ft (61m) and last two minutes. The average time in total a puffin spends underwater during the breeding season is about seven hours.
Total commuting team from burrow to fishing ground and back may be as much as an hour and a half. In short, I would not advise coming back as a puffin for your next life.
Oh, and the average puffin catches 450 sandeels per day. It's a wonder they have any time at all to stand around and pose for your enjoyment.
Unlike their cousins, the guillemots and razorbills, who positively entice their chicks to leave the nesting ledge, puffins are much more wings-off about their youngsters. They feed them up to give them fat reserves and then leave them to it.
When the time is right, like independently minded teenagers, the young set off at night from their home-burrow, ignored by their parents. They leave the burrow for good, heading out to start their sea-going lives.
The parents mooch about for a while in the colony, possibly doing the odd high-five. Then they take off their orange makeup, hang up their fancy beaks, lock up the burrow for another year and head seawards too. (Thinking about it, I may have over-egged that last paragraph.)
I got some of these statistics from a book called The Seabird's Cry, by Adam Nicholson. It's got a ton of research data all packaged in a froth of high-flown poetic and indulgent similes. You'll either love this or just want to slap the author. I'm undecided.
The last great auks in Scotland
Sadly, one auk you won't see is the Great Auk. The last one recorded in Scottish waters was actually presented alive in 1821 to Robert Stevenson by a local crofter.
This was while Stevenson was inspecting the Eilean Glas lighthouse on Scalpay, which is just off the larger island of Harris in the Outer Hebrides.
(The Stevenson dynasty of Scottish lighthouse builders included the novelist RL Stevenson.)
Anyway, the bird joined them on the inspection voyage, being allowed to swim and feed via a string on its leg.
At voyage end, before it was donated as a specimen to the Museum at Edinburgh University, it was given one last swim.
By this time the inspection yacht was in the Firth of Clyde. But the string snapped, the bird swam away and was never seen again.
The last encounter with a breeding pair was in 1844 on Eldey, off south-west Iceland. Both birds were strangled, their egg smashed. The last ever sighting was in 1852. Then the great auk was gone for ever.
Flightless, this penguin-like Northern Hemisphere bird was ruthlessly exploited for food and persecuted to extinction. Museum demand for skins also hastened the end of the species. See, I told you being an auk, even a puffin, is a serious business.
…ever wondered why puffins and other auks flap their wings so fast?
Auks in flight – it's a bit of an effort
Now sit up at the back and pay attention. Let's talk about wing-loading factor.
Puffins and auks have a special problem. They need wings both to fly and to swim with. So they've had to compromise. No point in having great long soaring wings like a gull. (Low wing loading factor.) Hopeless under water.
But no point in having wings that are really so small that you can only use them as flippers, otherwise you'd end up like the great auk – and we all know what happened to him.
So, auks and puffins have a high wing-loading factor – little wings useful for swimming but you have to work them hard to get airborne. That's why puffins flap more or less constantly while flying. No effortless gliding for them.
For my next life, I'm definitely not coming back as a puffin. Sounds like a lot of hard work.
Keen on birds? (There can be no other explanation if you've gone this far down the page.) Then you should get yourself out to North Ronaldsay.

ASU Beats UofA: Which Win Was Bigger, Football In 2010 Or This Week In Basketball?
By Brad Denny Mar 5, 2012, 4:45pm MST
Share All sharing options for: ASU Beats UofA: Which Win Was Bigger, Football In 2010 Or This Week In Basketball?
The Sun Devils have a number of major wins in their combined basketball and football histories, but none are as precious or as savored as those over the University of Arizona.
Whether it's "The Catch" or James Harden going for 29 and nine in overtime, victories against UofA can make otherwise dreadful seasons meaningful.
ASU basketball's amazing win on Sunday was the latest story to have a familiar plot. A Sun Devil team limping to the season's finish line caps off an otherwise forgettable year with a classic victory that also drops the Wildcats into the abyss of despair.
An immediate comparison to Sunday's game is the football team's dramatic win over the Wildcats on December 2nd, 2010. That thrilling double-overtime game knocked the Wildcats from the Top 25 and propelled ASU into an offseason rife with optimism.
So, that begs the question: Which win was bigger for ASU? House of Sparky's Brad Denny and Cory Williams make a case for each, and then it's up to you to vote.
The Case for Basketball's Win: By Cory Williams
Brad is going to attempt to pull the wool over your eyes and say that the 2010 football victory over Arizona was more important than Sunday's epic 87-80 basketball win. No doubt, that football game was amazing. I was there and it was one of the most exciting games I've ever seen in person. In a vacuum, I might even agree with him.
Lest we forget, that win was supposed to catapult us back into relevance. Our 2011 season had BCS aspirations written all over it, and it ended with a fired head coach, a quarterback who went pro a season early, and a lot of questions going into 2012.
This win on Sunday? It's all uphill from here. We saw what our young team was capable of and we got a glimpse into what 2012-13 will bring for Herb Sendek and the Devils. Jordan Bachynski will be a good front court presence for when Jahii Carson, Evan Gordon and Bo Barnes join the roster. Trent Lockett will be a senior and Jonathan Gilling will continue to be lethal from beyond the arc.
Sure, both games were awesome. But this game is a legitimate barometer of how far this team has come since the start of the year and the future is mighty bright for this crop of Sun Devils.
See why Brad thinks football is the choice after the jump
The Case for Football's Win: By Brad Denny
Like on Sunday, the 2010 Sun Devil football team held no real hopes for a postseason. A season of lost opportunities had rendered them at a disappointing 5-6 as they arrived in Tucson to face the 23rd ranked Arizona Wildcats.
Since peaking at No. 15, Arizona had lost three straight, but with homefield advantage in this heated rivalry, and with Arizona State being led by sophomore Brock Osweiler--making just his second career start, his first since 2009--the odds were good that the Wildcats would hold on to the Territorial Cup for a third straight season.
The Wildcats held a 14-6 lead as the fourth quarter began, in part due to the shaky performance of Osweiler. However, he continued to battle, and his talent and resiliency manifested themselves as he led the Sun Devils to three fourth quarter scoring drives to take a 20-14 lead with just 2:59 left in the game.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles responded with a 10-play touchdown drive that appeared to win the game for the Wildcats. All that remained was the formality of the extra point...which was BLOCKED by James Brooks.
Wow. Bring on overtime.
The first overtime saw a trade of field goals, but the Sun Devils broked through with a Cameron Marshall touchdown run. Befitting the script, Arizona then scored a touchdown of their own, and triple overtime was just a PAT away...
BLOCKED! BLOCKED! Brooks did it again!
And that right there is why this win was bigger. That immediate rush, that hear-stopping moment, that surge of adrenaline that lifts you off the couch and into the stratosphere of jubilation in an instant.
It didn't just happen once, but TWICE. There's no way that any Hollywood-cliché loving scriptwriter would have dared pen that outcome. That's a feeling that is impossible to replicate.
That didn't happen on Sunday. The game fell into the sad inbound-foul-free-throw-and-repeat cycle that mars the end of most close basketball games.
Plus, football is played but once a year, and the oldest rivalry trophy in the nation is at stake with each game. That, to me, is the clincher.
