Pull my finger!

Oh, and my source via Reuters is this live feed: http://live.reuters.com/Event/... in case anyone else is interested.

Well then, to add to the speculation... On Reuters via Twitter, reporter Anne Applebaum tweeted this: Donetsk commander Strelkov, longtime Russian agent, claimed credit today for shooting plane he thought was Ukrainian http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bsw... Though I can not read Russian (could someone please translate?), I don't get the sense that it says anything too positive though.

In Soviet Russia Everything Fucks You!

I'll be joining you on the wait train while staying with Windows 7. Windows 8 is still a bust in my opinion. Hopefully once Balmer goes once and for all, someone with some real leadership and innovation will part the seas, walk on water and pull rainbows and unicorns out of his ass...

With 3000 devs going nuts on this OS, they'll be up to version 21 in a few weeks - oh wait!

Web and start educating yourself. Download Project Byzantium Linux hybrid iso's and create your own mesh networks. Learn new technologies and use encryption. It CAN be done if you want it bad enough. In fact join their group, help them test and harden the technologies. Assist in translation and help them create documentation and instruction material (videos). Don't just take it sitting down, fight back!

With the world going to HE double hockey sticks, perhaps someone wants to add a radiation detector to a phone? Fukushima, North Korea, Iran, Taco Time Burritos...it all adds up!

"SpaceX's Dragon Module Successfully Re-Enters..." WHAT? Damnit Slashdot, don't leave me hanging like that! Now I'm actually going to have to RTFA. Sheesh!

Hmmm, pee + electricity...does anyone beside me see the potential problem here?

Google could sneak in and throw all this into a Tizzy if they bought out Corel, screwing everyone! LOL! Priceless...

Ok, lets just play with this for a bit. Perhaps Microsoft should skip Adobe and buy Corel instead. They'd save tonnes of cash and get many high end and comparable products taht are very respectable and powerful (DRAW, Painter, Photopaint - they could kill off Word Perfect finally). Hmmmm, OK, lets look at this from a reciprocal fashion - maybe if Adobe gets taken over by Microsoft...Apple buys Corel instead. They get an instant professional quality office suite and the graphic programs too. Not only that, they get to decide if they'll play only on Mac OS or on Windows. Anyhow, if Adobe gets bought out I'd keep an eye North of the border...Corel is ripe for the picking too.

Well this is getting kind of out of hand. Why not just throw the jury in jail too? I mean you're taking away their freedoms already so why not do it right? At least in the end the jury gets out of jail... It would be good if the jury COULD use technology (email) but only on computers sanctioned and controlled (monitored) by the judicial service. That means "highly filtered" and/or reviewed by approved moderators of the court. If you are found breaking the rules, slap their pee pee's and throw them in jail too. At least jurors would be warned. What if I was on the jury of a long trial and I had to pay my bills online and no longer got my bill stubs the "paper way" but rather through email? Sorry - collection service for you...credit rating hell. How dumb is that?

Ah, what a pleasant little morbid tangent I've stumbled upon right before bed: Hmmmm, lemme see - I've come up with some ideas to compliment your $40 heroine overdose or carbon monoxide love in... 1) Large black plastic garbage bag over the head & a roll of duct tape - use your imagination. Once you get your injection of heroine, you'll pretty much pass out or flake out, hell who knows what will happen to you but ya, the bag will do you in once you use up all your oxygen. 2) Pipe the CO into the plastic bag right along with taking your horse shot of poppy...hmmm, that might be tricky because you'll have to do that yourself with the bag already on your head...well if you're successful it should be a pleasant sleep you'll never wake up from...
