Monday, July 31st, 2006Wow, a private jet, the Eclipse 500 for only $1.3m. It looks like a C90 Citation with jet engines and roughly 70 knots faster than a King Air 350. I’ll take one!

System Administrator Appreciation Day
Friday, July 28th, 2006Thank you… Thank you… don’t forget to applaud, throw money for System Administrator Appreciation Day.
Upside-Down-Ternet
Thursday, July 27th, 2006They say revenge is a dish best served cold. Apparently, its not bad upside down, either. I really must applaude the ingenuity of this guy as well as his deciding to have a bit of harmless fun with the neighbor instead of simply walking next door and beating them.
Hezbollah was using UN post as ‘shield’
Thursday, July 27th, 2006While everyone is covering Kofi complaining that the Israeli bombing of UN staffers was intentional no one is covering that a UN commander says Hezbollah was using UN post as ‘shield’. Hezbollah has no problem using the civilians as shields nor wearing civilian clothing when ever the Israelis get close so why should it be [...]
Microsoft.com Preview Shuns Firefox
Tuesday, July 25th, 2006Microsoft’s new website preview only works for IE and now that the industry rags have noticed instead of showing an error message they’re bouncing non-IE browsers to their current website instead. I guess that’s better than saying “we still can’t write websites that work for everyone but you should buy our tools anyway”.
More on IN Sniper-like Shootings
Monday, July 24th, 2006Watching the evening news gleaned a few more pieces of information on the sniper like shootings in Indiana. The trajectory as evidenced by the impact locations on the front and back windshields of a pickup truck appear the shoot was at an elevated position. The holes shown in a trailer indicate it’s definitely a .30 [...]
AMD Acquires ATI
Monday, July 24th, 2006Just when I started switching back to AMD processors for my machines and started eyeing Opterons for some servers AMD goes and does something stupd, they acquire ATI. Why couldn’t they have acquired nVidia or Matrox? In case you can’t tell I really don’t like ATI graphics chips.
ACLU Dilema: Anti-Gay vs Anti-War/America
Monday, July 24th, 2006This had to be a hard choice for the ACLU, to choose to defend the rights of a nut-ball sect to protest the war at soldiers’ funerals when the same group is rabidly anti-gay. But, then, if they succeed in their primary goal of bringing down America there won’t be any “gay rights” anyway.
Kerry knocks Bush on handling of Israel – Lebanon
Monday, July 24th, 2006John Kerry cracks me up. His recent comments in Detroit concerning the Israeli – Lebanon conflict are quite worthy of jeers: “If I was president, this wouldn’t have happened,” said Kerry I guess he doesn’t realize that, according to the Arabs, Israel controls the US rather than the other way… I mean, aren’t we the [...]
Neighbor’s “Retard” Sign Upsets Family
Monday, July 24th, 2006The article could go a lot further into why the neighbor put up the sign but either out of laziness or out of a desire to slant it to their own viewpoint they do not. It boils down to a family has a 13 year old boy with a 3 year old mind, but, apparently [...]
