"Second Coming." Sail over and have a look.
Cyber Security - Last Thursday the House of Representatives
passed a bill that would grant universities $800 million to offer
their students courses in computer security. This is a measure
in hopes to protect our Nation's computers from hackers. Also,
as Representative Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said: "In this new
age, we must have training both for a new generation of cyber
warriors whose most important weapon is not a gun, but a laptop."
The United States is one of three countries that is already training
their soldiers through the internet, thus computer security is
a must. The $800 million bill was passed 400-12. -

And Justice for All? - Though Microsoft and the Department
of Justice may be  happy
with the antitrust settlement they reached, they may need to
reconsider and make some changes in order to please the public
and judge Coleen Kollar-Kottely. When opened for public comment,
15,000 comments were received against the settlement, while only
7,500 for it. Judge Kollar-Kottely has scheduled a hearing early
in March to see what Microsoft and the Department of Justice
can come up with. - from The
Register
Freaked Out French Fry Frenzy! - Just when you thought
Heinz had gone all the way to the funny farm with green and purple
ketchup, now they have taken their zaniness one step further.
John Carroll, managing director of North American potatoes and
snacks for Heinz, explains that Heinz decided to ask "kids
what would make them want to eat more French fries." From
that simple inquiry, Heinz came up with 50 cool ideas and narrowed
them down to five. Heinz will present the new line of frozen
potatoes reflecting kids' ideas as early as May of this year.
New French Fry Flavors will include: 
Sour cream and chives, cinnamon flavored French fries, Kool
Blue and Chocolatey Cocoa Crispers French fries, and some fancy
tator tots called Crunchy Rings.
You can take those flavors all the way to the funny farm!
Makes my tummy turn just thinking about it!

Sensor Sensation - Fovean
Inc. has released a revolutionary new chip for digital cameras
called the Foveon X3. The chip gets the name Foveon X3 because
it "captures red, green and blue light at each pixel...
capturing three times the color resolution of comparable image
sensors found in today's digital cameras." This results
in "brilliantly sharper images" and "enhanced
color." The image sensors on the Foveon X3 also allow for
Variable Pixel Size, which "can be configured instantaneously
on the camera." Says Jim Lau, Foveon's CEO, "Pixel
for pixel, Foveon X3 based digital cameras will deliver higher
quality images than any other image sensor." -

Good to the Last Crunch! - When Australian aerial free
stylist Jacqui Cooper  fractured
her vertebra recently, she drank Diet Coke with crushed cockroaches
in it to heal more quickly. She says it drew the "bad"
blood from her injury and she was doing sit-ups within three
weeks after drinking the "potion". "It wrecks
your stomach inside but it fixed my back," she said. Cooper
is favored for Olympic Gold and will compete on February 18.

Nasty Boy - While Janet Jackson was giving a concert
in New York recently, nineteen-year-old Mario Backman decided
to go on an "Escapade" through her dressing room. He
was a "Nasty" boy, taking "some stuffed animals,
an FDNY cap and correspondence." But when Janet's managers
found him, they told Mario this isn't "All For You"!
So he was charged with third-degree theft and told "Let's
Wait A While" by the judge, as he was ordered to return
to court the next Monday. - from Excite
Have you Heard?
G5 on the Side? - Word is buzzing about that it may
be a while before we see the likes of the new G5 chip (possibly
as late as next year). However, it is being said that the G4
still has lots of life left. With news of the chip being
able to communicate with the memory at "full bus speed,"
this would be good news indeed, since a sluggish system bus bottle-necks
info in a real hurry.
On the flip-side, however, it is still quite possible that
the G5 could see light before the year's end, and the new-improved
G4 could simply find its way into lower-end models. Right now
it certainly seems to be a game of strategy VS. technology. And
the winner is...

ADAM'S SUIT
A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination,
and looked at the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly, something
fell out of the Bible, and he picked it up and looked at it closely.
It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in between
the pages. "Momma, look what I found," the boy called
out. "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered: "I
think it's Adam's suit!"
CAT'S AND DOGS
A Dog thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love
me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take
good care of me... They must be gods!
A Cat thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love
me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take
good care of me... I must be a god!
ONLINE ADDICTION (Part IV)
You know you've been online too long when:
You don't even notice anymore when someone has a typo.
You enter a room and 23 people greet you with ((hugs)) or
**kisses**
You stop typing whole words and use things like ppl, dunno
and lemme.
Your voicemail/answering machine message is "BRB, leave
your s/n & I will TTYL."
You type faster than you think.
You got your psychiatrist addicted to AOL too and are now
undergoing therapy in private rooms instead of at his office.
You want to be buried with your computer when it dies or vice
versa.
You actually enjoy the fact that you are addicted.
You can actually read & follow all the names of the cast
that scrolls up your TV screen at the end of a movie
People say, "If it weren't for your super reflexes in
your eyes and fingers, you would have been classified as a vegetable!"
You dream in "text."
Being called a Newbie is a "MAJOR" insult.
There is absolutely no interesting chat in any room &
you're really bored.
You don't want to leave in case you miss something.
You double click your TV remote.
THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Remember when:
An application was for employment; a program
was a TV show; a cursor used profanity; a keyboard
was a piano.
Memory was something you lost with age; a CD
was a bank account; a hard drive was a long road trip.
A web was a spider's home, and a virus was the
flu!
JUST THINK
Just think, in a few million years Barney will be motor oil!

TRUE LOVE
True love comes when you have everything to lose.

SAD BUT TRUE
People do not wish to appear foolish. To avoid the appearance
of foolishness, they were willing to actually remain fools.

HANGING ON EVERY WORD
If you want your spouse to listen to every word you say, talk
in your sleep.
THE REAL DEAL
It took me a while to realize that the real deal is
to be able to be enough of a person on your own to know when
somebody loves you and cares about you.

Monkie Heart |
Let's face it:
Now more than ever we have the need to truly Love one another.
Now more than ever, that call is harder than ever.
But you truly won't know how much your neighbor needs your love
till you walk a mile in his shoes.
Even more so...
You won't truly know how much until
you have to wash your neighbor's SOCKS!
But ya know, all humor aside, that's when you know that you are
really able to love your neighbor.
Think about it.
Now I will step down off my soap box.
Happy Heart Day!
BJW
