Google Okays Abuja for Wireless Network Project

This is so crazy, do they not know that scammers would so exploit this technology. Scammers are already going to libraries and other public places so that it keeps them somewhat anonymous. That way when someone like the FBI tries to track them they'll trace it to a public place rather than a person's home. Full Story.

Bird Flu Hits Poultry Stocks at French Farm

THE lethal H5N1 strain of bird flu has been confirmed at a turkey farm in France.

It is the first time the virus has been detected on a farm in an EU country. About 80 per cent of the birds on the farm in south-east France's Ain region have died in the past week and the rest have been culled.

The spread of bird flu to commercial stocks in France, which has been working for months to prevent and prepare for an outbreak, served as a sobering sign for other developed countries that consider themselves well protected against the virus.

Japan has already slapped a ban on importing French poultry and sales in France of poultry have fallen by 30 per cent.

France has some 200,000 farms that raise 900 million birds each year. In 2004, the French poultry sector generated more than £2 billion in revenues - more than 20 per cent of total EU production.

The country is to start vaccinating millions of birds against the disease in a bid to protect the industry. Scientists fear the H5N1 strain, which has spread from Asia to at least ten European countries and Africa, could mutate into a form easily transmitted between humans, sparking a pandemic.

No human cases of bird flu have been reported in France or elsewhere in the EU.

The disease has killed at least 92 people elsewhere, mostly in south-east Asia. Before the outbreak in turkeys, the only confirmed French cases of H5N1 in birds were in two dead wild ducks found near the farm in the south-eastern town of Versailleux.

Google in Court for Copyright Infringement of Pornography

Google Image Search
Google goes to court after having some thumbnail images of women on a porn site, they are being sued for copyright infringement. I doubt that google will lose because it is common knowledge for webdesigners to create a robots.txt file to prevent search engines from crawling certain content. In addition anchor links to images can have an attribute rel="nofollow" to prevent bots from crawling links to content as well.

BOTTOM LINE

Bottom line Democrats have supported and endorsed the downward spiral of how a REPUBLIC collapses from within. Anyone with the intelligence that can read this knows. The Roman Empire, Babylonian Dynasty, and many Ancient and in some ways more advanced civilizations were over run or fell apart in thier later days due indirectly to the liberal views and social decay. At certain points we can see in history where we were able to afford certain second guessing and even rebel peacefully. At other times it has been a mistake and has shown a lack of honor and respect for those in service of our country, you know the same men and women that came before and after all of us. Who decided to serve and die by the beliefs and standards they knew were right in their hearts and come to find out history properly recorded these people as heros. Some were Republican, some Democrat, but all Americans. In an awful blunder that no one has been able to explain as of yet. George Bush has decided to hand over 6 of our all important and strategic shipping ports. For over two hundred years with the exception of the British no foreign military force large or small has blemished this land and home of both Democrat and Republican. There are two good reasons why we have not been invaded. The Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Two tremendous and obvious obstacles for any larger force to just invade. But we are at odds with a fanatical ideal and religion. Not an army with honor or courage to meet any on the battlefield. Our heros have been limited to a sustained amBUSH in Iraq for literally months now. Our administration is about to hand over strategic positions that I just described to you are invaluble to our exsistance now and in the past as proven. And last but not least, an army is now on our soil that is following blindly the betrayal and or very negilent decisions dare I say incompetant, of a political leader. I votted for this man twice, I have voted deligantly for 15 years for Republicans, I believe in their standards and ideals for life here. But my God what are we supporting now an invasion of a country that is concluded and ready to handover to the special forces and exisisting government in place and pull these troops out not to stop but to reinsert at better positions and regardless of your political stanzt I am sure you'd agree you enjoy debating, ridaculing, even fighting Liberals. So why is it we are about to commit the only act of destruction Abraham Lincoln warned us of. Our we so blind in our struggle to prove the opposite side of the isle wrong that we will allow this happen. Dem or Repub or whatever, take a look at what would really break down a country like this one. It isn't an invading army or two towers, a nuke or all the nukes. Its us. You can break down my arugment or discredit my sources or make fun of my spelling, but the truth is it is "We the people" who will make or break our nation. Pay attention to the leadership on either side.

Paris Hilton, Nipple Slip, $10m Bidding

David Hans Schmidt told the Daily News that's how much he has been offered for the items that Paris Hilton thought were safely stored in a warehouse in LA. The storage facility had gained possession of the goods when her locker rent was unpaid. Schmidt said there were 18 diaries among the possessions. Hilton expresses herself about her sexual adventures, photos and videotapes of her partying on yachts/mansions. There were also sex toys, lingerie furniture and computers. Hilton entrusted a moving company consisting of a husband-and-wife with her possessions. That company did not pay the bill. Hilton is welcome to the bidding.

In addition this screenshot was from TV after her nipple slipped out during her bidding I guess.

Metro Foils Al-Qaeda Plot (warning: gallows humor)

Al-Qaeda attempts to bomb Metro were foiled when:

AQ Bomber # 1 arrives at Woodley Park-Zoo station and discovers the escalator is out-of-order. Bomb kills him before he can get all the way downstairs.

AQ Bomber # 2 arrives at Smithsonian station and finds it clogged with tourists who are blocking the whole escalator. He doesn't know how to yell "stay to the right". Bomb kills him as he's running to the farecard machine.

AQ Bomber # 3 makes it to a farecard machine. The farecard machine won't take either of his bills or half his change. Bomb goes off and kills him as he fumbles for another nickel.

AQ Bomber # 4 decided to buy farecard with his debit card. Bomb goes off and kills him before he can figure the freakin' thing out.

AQ Bomber # 5 makes it through turnstile only to find the last esaclator is out of order and nobody is moving. Bomb goes off and kills him as he runs towards the train (bing! doors closing! bing!).

I'm not sure Metro needs more security.

Warnings Reduce Effect of Worm

Remember that "Kama Sutra" worm that was discussed all week in the news? Well the warnings have reduced the effects of the worm since companies took the necessary action. The worm modifies documents like .doc .pdf and .zip files. The worm is named ''CME-24'' but it is nicknamed Kama Sutra (the Hindu Love Manual) because of the pornographic come-ons, it also attempts to disable anti-virus software. Full story.

Cell Phone Communication Through Balloons

In Bismarck, North Dakota (USA) they're testing a theory that you can get better cell phone service through weather balloons. These balloons would carry a repeater the size of a toaster high up in the stratosphere. Nine balloons would be running, they would either be high, low, or grounded, constantly keeping communications within the state working. I don't believe this idea works because third generation cell phone communications rely on only like 50 channels a carrier and I'm sure there is a possibility that more then 50 people in the state of North Dakota will be on the phone at the same time. This is why the cellular system works because the cells only transmit and receive so far and therefore wouldn't create interference in adjacent cells allowing frequencies to be reused.

Cell Phone Privacy

What is your most annoying pet peeve relating to cell phone usage. Probably that the calls are always dropped right? Usually the case with carriers like MetroPCS. Or did you know that your call could be tapped? Recently cell phone records have been sold on the internet. Records like who your calling, etc. So your girlfriend can see if your cheating on her by who you are calling. But now congress is being urged to ban the sale of cell phone records. Cell phone records are usually obtained by a disgruntled employee from within a cell phone company.
