The servers that handle email for the House of Representatives is overloaded. So much so that they’re limiting the email that gets through.
What’s not clear is on what basis are they rejecting the email? It’s very possible to setup a rule to bounce messages based on a regular expression. Anything appearing negative gets tossed, positive [...]

A group within the European Union is having trouble with Google’s privacy issues such as keeping logs for over 6 months.
Really? Doesn’t the UK, a primary member of the EU have cameras on every corner? Aren’t there dozens of new YouTube videos every day about some British office abusing the power over there? Where’ the [...]

The Army is stationing a full BCT or brigade combat team inside the United States to assist with civil unrest and crowd control within our borders.
It’s clear to me that they are expecting riots in the near future and are looking to prepare early to prevent the out of control rioting that happened in places [...]

Google appears to be coming out with their own browser called Chrome click here for screenshots. Do we really need another browser? We already have three major ones and countless niche browsers.
Looking at the interface and feature set doesn’t reveal anything extraordinary. All the features I seen listed are already included in browsers such as [...]

The news keeps “reporting” on how the surge is working. Well, no shit it’s working. You send soldiers and Marines into Iraq without enough man power to do their jobs properly and things go poorly. You increase the troop levels and their performance improves.
They sent 300,000 troops into Iraq initially and downgraded that to around [...]

The Iraqi government is requesting that the U.S. setup a timetable for withdrawal. The administration hasn’t commented but I feel we should do what they want and get the fuck out.
The war in Iraq was supposed to be about ridding the country of nuclear weapons and ensuring that it’s not a safe hiding spot for [...]

A dude in McCain’s camp admitted that a recent terror attack would help the campaign. I’m actually in agreement with that statement but it’s still fucked up.
It’s not really fucked up that Mr. Black had the idea because his job is to put McCain’s ass in the oval office but it’s fucked up that this [...]

Looks time Time Warner is really going ahead with this bandwidth cap thing. It’s only in Beaumont, Texas but I’m in Austin, Texas and worried about it getting adopted here.
I actually don’t use a ton of bandwidth and it’s possible I’ll even slide in under the 40G/month cap but why would I want to pay [...]

Why are politicians so bent on banning any shred of violence and sex from media? Some jerk off in California (Pedro Nava) is trying to force social networking sites to immediately remove violent or graphic content from the site.
Since GTA IV’s release, I’ve played roughly 30 hours worth of gameplay. I’ve also played several of [...]

I guess it’s not all bad news coming from Iraq. It seems that the violence is down and things are becoming more and more stable.
Going to Iraq was not a good decision but we’ve now got shit a load of lemons and need to make some lemonade. If Iraq succeeds in the long run, it [...]

The current body count in Burma is being reported as 28,000+ with 33,000+ missing. Some are claiming that with disease and lack of nutrition factored in, the count could but up to 1 million dead from this thing. While that may sound bad on the surface, it’s not really a big deal.
There are [...]

It looks like the Baghdad museum is making a comeback. If the threat of getting killed weren’t so high, I’d actually like to visit. Here’s an excerpt from Time.

In the shadowy halls of the Iraqi National Museum, the remnants of Babylon seem largely forgotten. The carved stone forms of 2,000-year-old rulers are scattered [...]

Apple is going after the city of New York for using a logo that looks similar to the one that Apple uses. Both are shown above. Their argument is that it will confuse people and “seriously injure the reputation which [Apple] has established for its goods and services.”
What a bunch of [...]

2008 has been pretty crazy so far. New York’s first black mayor was just sworn in who is also legally blind. Then of course the presidential race has a woman and black dude who are neck and neck for the democratic nominee.
There will never be equality but I think we’re coming close.

Hippy nut jobs from Australia and England are cruising around looking for Japanese whalers and tossing a form of acid onto their ships. They claim they’ve been able to stop them for four and half weeks but I say big deal.
Throwing acid onto some whaling ship isn’t a long term solution and I think [...]

It must be a slow news day since this article had the following to say
“Not smoking, regular exercise, maintaining normal weight, and avoiding diabetes and high blood pressure seem to be the secrets of living to age 90, researchers say.”
Are you serious? Why not add “avoiding putting a shotgun in your mouth will help [...]

Damn over hyped and sensationalized news coverage. ABC has a story about some woman being raped in Iraq which sounds pretty fucking fishy.
First she claims that some men raped her and put her in a shipping container in a KBR camp inside of the Green Zone. The Green Zone isn’t that big and [...]

I know I couldn’t. They do the stupidest shit like Giuliani here in this picture walking with a light stick at night through some bullshit town in New Hampshire. In another image, he’s seen kissing a fucking dog and signing something on its back.

Do people really buy this shit? Are their decisions [...]

I just read an article about a 13 year old girl that killed herself because she was teased on MySpace. What’s really sick is that the “boy” who was teasing her wasn’t a boy at all. It was a group of adults including the mother of one of the girls ex-friends.
Anyone can see [...]

Two of the largest Linux vendors are being sued for infringing on the following patent
U.S. Patent No. 5,072,412 for a “User Interface with Multiple Workspaces for Sharing Display System Objects” issued Dec. 10, 1991
OK, so this company owns the rights to all desktops with multiple workspaces? What about Apples’s new Leopard. Is Apple [...]

From the looks of the graphs and the article Rap is on it’s way out. From the article…
This year, rap sales are down 33% from 2006, twice the decline for the industry overall, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Five years ago, Eminem’s album The Eminem Show was atop the Billboard chart, on its way to [...]

Some dude from near my home town hacked the iPhone. The sick part is that he’s 17!

Yeah bitches! They’re going after the employers of illegal immigrants who are the worst offenders of all. Illegal immigrants just want to make a buck but the asshole employers exploit these people by paying them shit while making a nice profit. Here are some of the things they are doing…
