October 2002 Artifact: No Go Logo Creepy agency casts evil eye on Planet Earth By Jesse Walker Suppose you're devising a logo for a new wing of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, an office charged with developing intelligence tools and integrating the government's existing surveillance networks. Suppose that it has a vaguely sinister name—say, the Information Awareness Office—and that it's to be run by a former Iran-contra conspirator. What would your design be? If you work for the actual Information Awareness Office, created earlier this year with one-time National Security Adviser John Poindexter at its helm, you'd depict...

This is the second night in a row that I hit the instant update button in my Mcafee VirusScan, newly installed after a hardware crash on Windows 98, and in the middle of the downloads the process froze. Then when I go to try to ping www.mcafee.com (which I could reach before the problem) it says network unreachable! I can ping other sites, I can freep, but no mcafee. Is there maybe a McAfee-DDOS-attack virus out there? (DDOS=distributed denial of service) My ISP is Ameritech (DSL).

All Freepers: I've posted a thread Should HiTech RedNeck Sue the B*st*rds??? over in "General Interest" concerning a personal matter which some of you pro (or anti) tort law political activists may have opinions about.

Got a not-perhaps-so-hypothetical for you folks. HiTech RedNeck (HTRN) was riding his motorcycle 2 years ago this June. Daytime in the late afternoon, perfectly clear weather, dry pavement in good condition. HTRN stopped to wait for traffic to clear so he could turn left at an uncontrolled intersection, and a guy driving a pickup truck smacked right into his bike several seconds later. **CRUNCH** -- and the motorcycle was impaled in the front of the truck. HTRN, though stunned, somehow hung on to the handlebars until the whole shebang came to a stop on the other side of the intersection,...

I am on Jay Sekulow's ACLJ email list and get announcements from those folks from time to time as they look for donations or petition signers in pursuing some political or legal cause that is associated with a pro-life, Christianity-friendly world view. Sekulow's emails and letters tend to be a bit melodramatic and pushy, but that hasn't greatly bothered me. As far as style is concerned I can say live and let live, as long as they are a voice for things I generally believe in. However I got bothered when I learned that when I signed one of their ...

<p>PESHAWAR, Pakistan  — Ali Ahmad was walking to his cousin’s home in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, on Sunday night when he saw something smash into the building and explode.</p> <p>"They say it was a cruise missile," he said in an interview with Fox News from this provincial capital city on Wednesday. "What I know is that the missile came flying in, and there was suddenly a lot noise."</p>

Columbia the Gem of the Ocean Columbia the Gem of the Ocean O Columbia! the gem of the ocean, The home of the brave and the free, The shrine of each patriot's devotion, A world offers homage to thee; Thy mandates make heroes assemble, When Liberty's form stands in view; Thy banners make tyranny tremble, When borne by the red, white, and blue, When borne by the red, white, and blue, When borne by the red, white, and blue, Thy banners make tyranny tremble, When borne by the red, white and blue. When war wing'd its wide desolation, And ...

Amazingly hellfire filled link. Says it's a sin even to pray for America's good now. Furnished FYI only. I do NOT endorse content. Its counter shows 120,000 plus hits. I'd almost peg it as a Taliban psy-op, but I could well believe that a group calling itself Christian put this site up.

Sources tell TIME that U.S. officials suspect that bin Laden conspirators may have been planning to disperse biological or chemical agents from cropdusting planes Saturday, Sep. 22, 2001 New York -- U.S. law enforcement officials have found a manual on the operation of cropdusting equipment while searching suspected terrorist hideouts, government sources tell TIME magazine in an issue out on Monday, Sept. 24th. The discovery has added to concerns among government counterterrorism experts that the bin Laden conspirators may have been planning — or may still be planning —to disperse biological or chemical agents from a cropdusting plane normally used ...

The United Way has often gotten panned on Free Republic for pro-gay policies towards Boy Scouts, etc. I hail from a company which has offered to match gifts for the benefit of Sept. 11 disaster victims, and one of the "official ways" is the United Way of New York City Sep 11 fund. The description on the site seems to say that all donations will go to the benefit of the disaster victims, with all administrative overhead paid by UW of NYC. Is this what it seems to state to be. I have heard that UW has a habit of ...

Microsoft to block AOL buying AT&T cable stakeBy Louise Kehoe in Seattle&nbsp;-&nbsp;Jul 29 2001 20:53:57Microsoft is determined to prevent AOL Time Warner acquiring or buying a stake in AT&T's cable business - even if that means collaborating with alternative bidders for the number one US cable operator. People close to Microsoft say the company is prepared to use its financial muscle to encourage alternative bids for the AT&T broadband division, rather than see AOL become the dominant player in the US cable market. Microsoft increasingly views AOL as its primary rival in the consumer internet sector, and following the apparent ...

Nowhere to Hide Bees Kill Horse, Injure Man in Two Separate Attacks July 23 &#151; Swarms of killer bees struck twice over the weekend, killing a horse and seriously injuring two others in one attack in Nevada, and hospitalizing a man with hundreds of stings in an attack in Arizona. In Pahrump, Nev., outside of Las Vegas, the bees attacked from a normally peaceful bee farm across the street from a corral, where a horrified a trainer watched as they swarmed around three horses. "It sounded like a woman screaming at the top of her lungs," Yvonne Smith said. ...
