I think I found a

I think I found a near legitimate reason to use Limewire. "Frisket" woke me up this morning for her walk at the ungodly hour of 5:55 a.m. While walking around the block, "City of New Orleans" came into my head for no obvious reason. This is a song about the train from Chicago to New Orleans, written by Steve Goodman and covered by Arlo Guthrie in the early 1970's. Now, I haven't heard it played in years, and while I'd expect the Arlo Guthrie version to be available on CD, I'm not so certain about the Goodman version, or the song it segued into "Lincoln Park Pirates". So, I'm going to try to find them on Limewire...suspect I'll be lucky if I find a P. Diddy sample of one of them. (Now, why either of these came into my head while walking F around the block is another question which I'm not awake enough to contemplate).

So, Geraldo Rivera has been

So, Geraldo Rivera has been kicked out of Iraq. See, he was an "embedded" reporter with the 101st Airborne. Believing in the Fox News mantra of allegedly "Fair, Balanced Reporting", he drew a map in the sand showing the relative locations of Bagdhad and his unit, since it's only fair for the Iraqis to get a balanced view of the US war plans. Obviously, the military doesn't understand the Fox quest for "fair, balanced" reporting and kicked him out. Read more at CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, the New York Post, New York Newsday and the Washington Post. One place you won't read anything about Geraldo or this little story is Fox News. Fair? Balanced? You decide.

Language inspired by Orwell set

Language inspired by Orwell set to fool hackers: A new programming language from a group of Auckland-based computer-language experts is making waves in the software development world. Dubbed NewCode, the language promises to revolutionise software development, as the language makes it impossible to express a security vulnerability in a program's source code. ... "The compiler is itself programmed in NewCode," says Jones. "It made it difficult to explain to the compiler itself exactly what a security vulnerability was."
