Death of the Internet
Well I had a long post typed out by F%$@* Internet Explorer decided to prompt me and ask me if I want to allow pop ups for this site after I hit spell check button, I say yes and all my data in that page was gone. So this is bascially what I said. (another reason to use Firefox over IE)
Greed has hit an all time low. They are trying to pass a law to allow ISP companies do dictact whoes web site pulls up faster or at all. Right now YOU have the right to see what ever site your heart desires. But if this passes YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO. You will only see the sites that have paid big money to your ISP. It is amazing, every person supporting is getting paid out of this deal. You don't hear anybody who does't stand to make millions off of this telling you this is a good idea. What good can come out of this other than some companies making MORE millions. Did they all of a sudden go broke and now need some quick way making cash? Or is it just the fact that greed has consumed these people so much that they would kill the essence of the internet. It would kill the american dream for small business who want to start their pressence on the internet. Now they will have to take out a loan just to have their site seen. There is NO motivation for good on this move, just greed. It seems like they are trying to claim that they extra money made will go to "upgrading" the "creaky" internet. YEAH RIGHT. Will go straight in their pockets. The people will never seen this money in use unless they have a nice view of their new yatch!!!!

WTF of the Week
Canadian Recording Artists Ask for Your Help
in Saving a Young Woman From Execution
In
She was subsequently arrested, tried and found guilty of a crime. At her trial she said in her defense; "I wanted to defend myself and my niece. I did not want to kill that boy. At the heat of the moment I did not know what to do because no one came to our help." Her appeals have failed and without severe pressure from outside sources she will die for this "crime".
The girls' only alternative would have been to submit to the rape and not report it. Why? because if they reported it and could not produce enough male witnesses to confirm that it had indeed been a rape, then the Sharia Court would treat it as a case of adultery and the girls would have been severely punished, especially if a child had been conceived through the rape. The punishment for women or girls who have premarital sex is 100 lashes. Since it WAS a rape, the real (mental) punishment would have been much more severe than that, and lasted for the rest of the victims' lives.
Canadian recording artist Nazanin, who shares a name and a homeland with this young woman, has been championing the cause for some time now. This story in the National Review Online contains an interview with the Artist Nazanin. But the hour for her namesake is at hand and nearly all options have been exhausted.
Today Nazanin, along with fellow Canadian Artists Biff Naked, Britt Black, The Vincent Black Shadow and their record company, Bodog Music, sent out urgent bulletins to all their MySpace friends asking for people to sign a petition in the hope that enough worldwide public pressure will force the Iranian courts to abandon or reduce the sentence. If you would like to lend your name to this petition you can do so by going to this page. It won't cost you a cent, just a few moments of your time and those few moments might save the life of a young woman who is sentenced to die for the crime of self-defense.
This Correction came in after the story was published from the Artist Nazanin: We have just been notified that this is the status:
"Nazanin's fate will be decided at the end of this week or next week by the Supreme Court. If they decide to go ahead with the sentence, she could be executed by hanging in less than 2 weeks."
For another source on this story I offer this piece from Iran Focus. In the story another girl is mentioned, a 16 year old. Her crime was to be "less than chaste". She has already been hanged....

911 Video Released - Finally
Here is the CNN article that talks about the release of the video that was held for so long. Even the CNN article acts like they see a Boeing jet in this video. I will be perfectly honest, I DON"T SEE IT. I see something white and about the size of a Cruise Missile , but I do not see a Boeing 757.
Don't piss in my pocket and tell me its raining!!!
Quote from article:
"Sources said in 2002 that the FBI confiscated a hotel security camera video that showed the attack on the Pentagon. It's not known if that tape is being released."
shame on Bush!!!

Ask.com Desperation is a stinky cologne
This is funny. Not only becausde I am a google fan, but basically the Ask.com search engine sucks. Half the time I don't see the heavily bragged about preview link that allows you to see the page before going to it. Ask.com could not hold Google's jock strap in the Search/Inforamtion market. And the new commercial from Ask.com shows how stinky desperation can be. The commercial has a kid who is barley old enough to know what a computer is, was trying to tell me how Ask.com is better than google.com. Trying to say that because it is popular does not mean it is better. Uh well yes it does. Popularity can only suggest that it is better, cause there is a reason why everybody uses them. And he used an example of a search, Poets. He said google would probably just show a bunch of things about Poets if you try and search for a paticular poet. WHAT? I did a search on Google.com for edgar allen poe and got all kind of info for Edgar Allen Poe. Plus it sectioned off for Poems or Biography. Bottom line shows bad taste for a commercial to mention the name of their competitor in their commercial, instead of making a general reference. Desperation is a stinky cologne.

Darwin Award - Headache Diagnosed
Doc's diagnosis: Nail gun caused headache
PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) -- An Oregon man who went to a hospital complaining of a headache was found to have 12 nails embedded in his skull from a suicide attempt with a nail gun, doctors say.
Surgeons removed the nails with needle-nosed pliers and a drill, and the man survived with no serious lasting effects, according to a report on the medical oddity in the current issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery.
The unidentified 33-year-old man was suicidal and high on methamphetamine last year when he fired the nails -- up to 2 inches in length -- into his head one by one.
The nails were not visible when doctors first examined the man in the emergency room of an unidentified Oregon hospital a day later. Doctors were surprised when X-rays revealed six nails clustered between his right eye and ear, two below his right ear and four on the left side of his head.
The study did not say how long the nails were, and a hospital spokeswoman refused to release that information. A photo published in the study suggests the nails range from 1 1/2 to 2 inches long.
No one before is known to have survived after intentionally firing so many foreign objects into the head, according to the report, written by Dr. G. Alexander West, the neurosurgeon who oversaw the treatment of the patient.
The man at first told doctors he had had a nail gun accident, but later admitted it was a suicide attempt.
The nails came close to major blood vessels and the brain stem but did not pierce them. The patient was in remarkably good condition when he was transferred to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, where the nails were removed.
The patient was later transferred to psychiatric care and stayed under court order for nearly a month before leaving against doctors' orders.
