Ironically the outbreak was at WASU who use the cougar as a mascot.

And yes I did catch some form of the flu. To be honest, there were a lot of keyboards, mice, and game controllers swapping hands constantly so anyone that didn't see this coming was a bit of an idiot.

Good times though. Had a lot of fun even if I am still hacking up a lung.

Agree completely.. I've been a fan for over a year and have no intention of leaving the game anytime soon. It's one of those love or hate games in terms of interface and complexity. If you love it, you love it.

Lip-Reading Surveillance Cameras 271

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday May 01, 2007 @02:16PM from the open-the-pod-bay-doors dept.

mrogers sends us to Infowars for the following news from the UK, "which is fast becoming the front line of the war on privacy": "'Read my lips..."' used to be a figurative saying. Now the British government is considering taking it literally by adding lip reading technology to some of the four million or so surveillance cameras in order identify terrorists and criminals by watching what everyone says. Perhaps the lip-reading cameras and the shouting cameras will find something to talk about."

Journal Journal: Biden Lies About His Age, Pretends He Violated the Constitution

Journal by pudge on Tuesday May 01, 2007 @02:14PM

On Meet the Press this week, Senator Joe Biden said: "I was 29 years old when I came to the U.S. Senate."

If that's true, then he violated Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution, which requires Senators to be 30 years old.

Feed Public Health And Hurricanes (sciencedaily.com)

From feed by sdfeed on Tuesday May 01, 2007 @02:13PM

In the first study ever to evaluate urban sediment after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, scientists stressed the importance of rapid environmental assessments. The environment in New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita showed high levels of contamination as floodwaters receded from the city, and this new study provides insights into public health and human exposure to both inhaled and ingested pathogens from sewage-contaminated floodwaters induced by hurricanes.

Wow, so nasa is now like an airline I guess. Just trying to keep flying those pointless shuttle flights.

Kill the shuttle and keep the science, after all they are going to spend 100 billion dollars to get back to the moon and do nothing there AGAIN, no base, no telescope, no science, most likley just golf.
