Fresh off after having to force his campaign to admit that his first purple heart wound was in fact self-inflicted, John Kerry continued his bizarre actions towards the President - when who he is really mad at is the Swift Boat Vets - who are not connected to the President. Kerry was forced to acknowledge as much in a phone call to one of the Swift Vets Sunday evening. Yesterday in New York - after speaking directly with a 527 group - Kerry again accused President Bush of "hiding behind 527 groups". Kerry did this despite President Bush's direct denouncement of...

NEW YORK - This morning, John Kerry used New York City as the launching pad for his latest rounds of attack on President Bush and urged the GOP to abandon the negative attacks of "fear and smear" and to return to the debate on issues. However, it is clear from a reported phone call that Kerry participated in Sunday evening that Kerry sees that the discontentment of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth as fundamentally non-related to the Bush campaign. Kerry reportedly placed a call to Robert Brant (Ret.) Commander, United States Navy. Brant had skippered boats #96 and #36...

NEW YORK - Appearing on the Moncia Crowley Sunday show on NYC's WABC 770AM, the co-author of UNFIT FOR COMMAND, John O'Neill dared John Kerry to "sue me for libel". And he got specific... "If he was actually in Cambodia on Christmas Eve in 1968 he should sue me. If, in fact those other five boats on March 13th, if they all fled like he did instead of staying like he knows they did, he should sue me." "If he didn't wound himself with a grenade, causing a rice fanny wound, and then reported it to the Navy as a...

The "John Flapjack Kerry" camp is in complete disarray. Now look, you diehard dems know it and you can see it playing out right before your eyes. I know that now you're thinking to yourself thoughts like "I wonder if Dick Gephardt would be in this position?" or "Jo-motion wouldn't have had these kinds of issues..." AND YOU'RE RIGHT... But you let the nut-wing lefties wrestle control away from you in the primaries. The reasonable ones among you did not speak up when Farenheit 9/11 called into question the patriotism of even our nation's military service men and women. And...

A proud US father and self-confessed engineering "geek" has named his son after a computer software term. Jon Blake Cusack, from Holland, Michigan, told local newspapers the US practice of adding "Junior" or "II" after a boy's name was too common. So, when his son was born last week, he decided on the name Jon Blake Cusack 2.0, as if he were a software upgrade. Mr Cusack admitted that it took months to persuade his wife, Jamie, to accept the idea. 'Cool' Mrs Cusack said she asked several friends if they approved of the name. All the men, she...

I received a cable modem as part of a free trial. I LOVE IT! Now I can pester FR with more posts, more hasty responses, etc. The fun will be terrorizing the libs. Seriously, are there any FReepers who use high speed access? What do you love about it? Hate about it,etc. I'd like to hear about anyone's experience with any kind of broadband situation.

I just downloaded and installed Mozilla and it seems to be better than the Explorer 5.5 I had been using. What is the downside to this? It seems to do everything I used explorer for, plus it has killed all unrequested popups, yet permits popups that I request (like tvguide). Is there something I'm missing here?

His death at a game centre in Hong Kong's Yuen Long district came eight months after a 17-year-old game centre employee was found dead after...

Not only did Larry Wall answer your questions, but he said they were excellent questions. You've got to love Larry Wall, not just because he's a nice guy and created Perl, but also because he is the first Slashdot interview guest ever to send his answers preformatted in squeaky-clean HTML. We appreciate this like you wouldn't believe. They're great answers, too -- straightforward, heartfelt, and entertaining. Enjoy! 1) Perl as a "scripting" or a "programming" language by Marx_Mrvelous I've been using perl for a very long time, but primarily as a scripting language. I indeed mostly use it for extraction...

Owensboro, KY - An enterprising young man has managed to run his appliances faster by overclocking the electrical system in his house. Toast gets done faster, beverages get colder and clothes spin dry at the speed of light, well, almost. Lance Hatler, was irritated with the "measly 60 Hz" that the electric company fed into his house and decided he could do better. "I thought my overclocked computer system is pretty sweet. Why can't I apply the same principle to my house? I mean besides the fire code," questioned Hatler. After several trips to the emergency room for massive electric...
