Simpsons parody upset Fox News, says Groening
Guardian: Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel threatened to sue the makers of the Simpsons over a spoof news ticker, the show's creator Matt Groening has claimed. Mr Groening said Fox News raised the unlikely prospect of suing a show broadcast by its sister channel, Fox Entertainment, because it wanted to stop the Simpsons parodying its famously anti-Democratic party agenda.

Tiny Peewee aims for big time
BBC: A hamster so small he could fit into a match box could well find his way into the Guinness Book of Records. The tiny creature - called Peewee - is fully grown and yet measures less than one inch in length, weighs less than one ounce and is no higher than a 50p piece.

Gadget may wreak traffic havoc
In-car device lets drivers change stoplights; officials fear gridlock, seek to block signal
Tired of sitting at endless red lights? Frustrated by lights that turn from green to red too quickly, trapping you in traffic?
Now anyone can breeze through congested intersections just like the police, thanks to a $300 dashboard device that changes traffic lights from red to green, making nasty commutes a thing of the past and leaving other drivers open-mouthed at your ability to manipulate traffic. But what if everyone had one? That's the fear of traffic control officials, who believe chaos would take over the roads.

Muscleman Put in Charge of World's Fifth-Largest Economy 10/23
Onion.com: SACRAMENTO, CA—Political observers are struggling to understand exactly how, on Oct. 7, Arnold Schwarzenegger, an Austrian-born, movie-star muscleman with no political experience, was elected to govern the state of California, the world's fifth-largest economic region. "We're a bit baffled as to exactly how this happened," said David Gergen, director of the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. "Poll results show that the strongman received 1.3 million more votes than the next candidate—that much is clear. We just can't determine precisely why people believed that the bodybuilder was qualified to lead the socially and economically complex state of California." According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, California is an economic region with an annual gross domestic product of $1.36 trillion—an amount equal to one-sixth of the U.S.'s total gross national product. Considered internationally, California's GDP ranks fifth in the world, behind the U.S., Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Tears as Blaine leaves London box
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Illusionist David Blaine is in a hospital after ending his 44 days suspended in a box over the River Thames in London with only water for sustenance.
Thousands of fans cheered the 30-year-old American who burst into tears as he emerged from the box, saying: "I love you all forever."
Blaine smiled as his transparent box was lowered to the riverbank by Tower Bridge on Sunday night.
"This has been one of the most important experiences of my life," he said.
My conclusion of what he did:
1. Locked in a plastic box
2.Drinking water from a tube
3.Took dippers with him! (he did- why did he needed them anyways if he wasn't eating anything?)
4.Not eating food of course
5.44 days until it was finished
At the end all he did wasn't magic or illusion but self torturing!
Overall I found this funny and entertaining.
Update: Blaine: I choose to not be bored

[washingtonpost.com] U.S. Troops Order Comfort, With Fries on the Side
Soldiers Looking for a Taste of Home Make for a Booming Business at Iraq's First Burger King
BAGHDAD -- Welcome to Iraq, home of the Whopper.
Deep inside Baghdad International Airport, past a vehicle search, a body search and four checkpoints, soldiers are lined up for burgers and fries. They have come by plane from Mosul, 220 miles north, for onion rings. They have picked up Chicken Royale sandwiches while picking up buddies flying back from a two-week home leave. They have begged and borrowed Humvees, making up any excuse for a trip to the airport and a reminder of what the pink mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise oozing from a fresh Whopper tastes like.
What do you guys think when the troops come back and they have gained 20 pounds! There kids or wives or even their children would be terrified.

Odd mishaps cause computer grief
BBC: A man so angry with his laptop that he shot it has topped an annual league table of the oddest computer mishaps. Data recovery experts say although machine failure is blamed for the majority of lost files, humans are getting more careless too. But while ways to rescue files are increasingly sophisticated, people have to do more to protect and back up data. The list of the strangest ways data was lost was compiled by recovery experts Kroll Ontrack.

The universal appeal of a national hero
Beijing-Before the launching of the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft, the Chinese Government took what might be called the squeezing-water-from-a-rock approach to disclosing details about the mission: reporters squeezed, but little came out. And much of what did appear was confusing and contradictory.

Province's film industry worried about Schwarzenegger promise
Alberta's motion picture industry hopes big-time Hollywood studios will stop the Governator from terminating any of the province's movie business. Recently elected California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said during the campaign he wanted to protect California jobs and bring back movie productions being shot elsewhere to save money, meaning potentially fewer movies being shot in Canada.

Let's quit "Stalin," time to get on with it...
Admit it; killing Nazis is getting a bit repetitive. Even the series that’s most notoriously known for Nazi cleansing, Medal of Honor, is taking a different approach with its next installment. It’s time for a new enemy and no, the Chinese just won’t cut it anymore. Leave it to IO Interactive and Electronic Arts to deliver the oppressive Communist Soviet Union for our killing pleasure. To give more credit where it’s due there’s an excellent reason for you to kick some Communist ass as well. In this alternate universe the Russians beat the Americans to the Atom Bomb and thus held all of the world’s power. In the years following the Second World War the Communist regime spread, eventually ending up in Mexico. Castro was polite enough to provide the Russians with ample space to build Nuclear Silos within striking distance of the US from Cuba. As you may have learned in your 8th grade history class this is a bad thing. When the game begins the Russians have invaded the United States and it’s up to you, a plumber in New York City, to lead the resistance and send the commie bastards packing. Continue reading this

A Little Perspective on $87 billion.
or "A billion here, a billion there. Pretty soon it starts to add up to some real money."
On September 7th, 2003, President Bush announced on national television that he was asking the Congress to grant him an additional $87 billion dollars for the next fiscal year, beginning October 1, to continue the fight on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. But $87 billion is an impossibly high number for anyone to visualize. Let's have a look....

Answers please, Mr Bush
Guardian: Michael Moore fired his opening salvo against George Bush and his rightwing cronies with his bestseller Stupid White Men. Now the president is in his sights again. In this second extract from his new book he asks his old enemy seven awkward questions
Michele moor:I have seven questions for you, Mr Bush. I ask them on behalf of the 3,000 who died that September day, and I ask them on behalf of the American people. We seek no revenge against you. We want only to know what happened, and what can be done to bring the murderers to justice, so we can prevent any future attacks on our citizens. Continue reading the questions.

GAO: Pentagon sold biolab gear
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Defense Department sold equipment to the public that can be used for making biological warfare agents, according to a draft report by the General Accounting Office.
"Many items needed to establish a laboratory for making biological warfare agents were being sold on the Internet to the public from DoD's excess property inventory for pennies on the dollar, making them both easy and economical to obtain," the GAO draft report said.

Geekstyle: If he was a bit smarter...
...., he could have taken down the internet in 3 hours. Seriously.
Having a look at decompiled source for Blaster virus, you will find out that this simple program could be an evil but it is not.
Networkers know the power of "TOS" and "Precedence" bits in IP header. All routing information packets and control information in a network have tweaked TOS and Precedece in their layer 3 header. It means they will not be delayed in queues and are transmitted on the network with the highest priority. Now assume that this worm has tweaked TOS and Precedence to the highest priority, and boooommm!

What Would Bill Clinton Do?
In a bind over tax cuts for the rich, President Bush should take a page out of Bill's playbook
Time.com:
A few weeks ago, Senator Joe Biden had a perfect little epiphany: Why not pay for the $87 billion that's needed for Iraq by asking the wealthiest 1% of Americans to forgo their Bush tax breaks for just a year—2010? The Bush breaks, after all, would be worth $89 billion that year. "I haven't found one single wealthy American" who wouldn't be willing to do that, Biden told Fox News. The idea has been gaining steam among his fellow Democrats in the Senate and may be introduced in the House by Congressman Tom Lantos of California. It probably won't pass, since Republicans control both houses, but Biden had found his way to the heart of the 2004 campaign: the notion that Bush's tax breaks for the wealthy could be put to better use.

Washington, D.C.

What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely easy to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever more than one person is downloading at once they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus relieving the central server's bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the upload burden on the central server remains quite small, since each new downloader introduces new upload capacity. The files are in .torrent extentions.
