This site has lots of old articles mostly ridiculous, but this was pretty close to correct.

But nothing is ever likely to come of it, and I wouldn’t say they’re building past anything that they haven’t already been at previous points in time.

There are gullible stupid people crooks take advantage of. Then of course on the flip side you have some crooks that are so stupid you wonder who they survived into their teen years and beyond. Folks, you can’t make this stuff up. The headline: “Stolen iPad leads to 780lb crystal meth seizure”.

www.theregister.co.uk Is a website devoted to high tech news and other interesting news items all with an interesting twist of British humour. I rather enjoy it.

@Chengora:

Thanks, Jen. I’m still waiting for Tom’s Hardware to update their CPU chart, but my understanding was that Intel initially released only its two top Core 2 Duo processors for testing. I understand that the other 3-4 lower end processors were also being tested, but I wasn’t sure which if anyone had done it yet.

I probably should just be patient, though, since DirectX 10 cards haven’t even come out. :-D

I’m going with the 1.83 Ghz Duo in my laptop. Should be good enough.

I was up at 3am then (guess why?), and saw Nightline bring a live report about the miners being saved. Actually, I came in the middle of it, and thought it was an old video of the PA rescue. A couple was standing there saying that they got a call and rushed over, but couldn’t see the individuals because they needed to be checked. Nothing specific was being said. I wondered: is this real? Could they be dead and they don’t want to break the horrible news? I was informed the next day that they only found 1 alive, in critical condition. What is his status?

I hardly think the situation is laughable. They were intending to give great news about a near disaster, that in actuality turned out to be false. I would shame them if they rushed HORRIBLE news, which seems to be the standard for most news these days.

GI- The point of the case is
The parents want to care for her and the husband wants the feeding tube gone. I wrestled with this case for a long time since I don’t think the Government should be involved in these types of decisions. My opinion changed for all the reasons I listed in my original response.

Incidentally, the Law passed by the Florida legislature and signed by gov. Bush bans the “medical procedure” that would have Killed teri. As
fas I know it doesn’t ban euthanasia. I have a problem with euthanasia since it reminds me of the old “Eugenics” laws here in America as well as those of the Third Reich.
