Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Our society seems to worship youth. This is completely appropriate our
role in society is support and encourage young people in every way possible. They
are the promise of today and all that tomorrow will be. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 First supersize Aurbus assembled
(pdf) This BBC story discusses the first 555 seat airliner that is well
into production with more than 120 firm orders. CNN last night was complaining
about the aircraft claiming that it is being built by government subsidy and of course
do not admit that Boeing is supported by the US government. |

 May

 HomeComing

May 7, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

 Bush’s slippery slope: preemptive wars, violations of international law- Friday
May 7, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : There
is no feeling of victory in saying "we told you so" as you have read repeatedly
on this site about privatisation and the misuse of language. Torture is now
defined as "abuse" and one in every ten Americans in Iraq carrying
a gun, is a mercanary, there are more of them than British soldiers. Sadly, this
tragic and for want of a better term, "stupid" situation, must play out
as the United States has plodded its way while being warned, into a point of no return
and they have no exit plan.

May 7, 2004

 Experimental
Box- Thursday
May 6, 2004
by : John Smith
This is a hacker story as the author goes about creating a computer to try things
out. With spam and worms ravaging computers today we need very badly to explore these
weapons of mass computer destruction in an effort to protect our equipment. What
will be done with this computer you wouldn't want to do with a machine you depend
upon for everyday work.

by : Albert Eckart

rendition of a song by the "world's greatest entertainer."
