LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Police didn't have much trouble tracking a man who they say robbed two gas stations -- he was wearing a court-ordered electronic monitoring device. Lafayette police found Joshua W.

Davidson said Kochell (pictured, left) was under house arrest when he used a gun to rob two gas stations Wednesday. Police tracked him through the monitoring device he was ordered to wear on...

Under Bush's presidency, Corporate America slashed paychecks that took you years to earn. They have cancelled holidays, including Good Friday -- they are trying to cancel the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, it seems. They have cut sick pay, rewritten family leave laws, cancelled bathroom breaks. It is even beginning to affect civil service professions such as the police force, now requesting to cut their sick pay to only thirteen weeks. Also under Bush's presidency, they have turned reservation offices into assembly line call centers. The union had warned of this but no one listened. We trusted Bush that it would...

Because of a virus I was forced to erase my HD. A major difficulty remaining to be conquered is setting my display properties, currently I'm prevented from going above 16 colors and 640x480. I was running well above that before the erasing. I have attempted to download drivers, even after deleting the existing in the safe mode, yet my PC rejects them. The only one which was successfully downloaded was a super vga from my 98 disk yet again the PC rejected my attempts to upgrade from present levels. Could the virus have infected my video card? I simply cannot...

LONDON (Reuters) - Cyber investigators are scouring the World Wide Web for clues on any future suicide bomb attacks, deploying satellites and other high-tech wizardry to hone in on suspicious Web surfing activity. Intelligence officials had warned some kind of attack would occur in Saudi Arabia before Sunday's suicide bomb blast in Riyadh after finding evidence on anonymous postings on Arabic Web sites and other forms of Internet chatter. The strike killed at least 18 people and wounded 120 others. "The Internet is a very useful open source for investigators. But as with any unattributable piece of information, tips must...

NOGALES, Ariz. - Some Mexican nationals say they are suspicious of a new U.S. security plan that will eventually track all foreign visitors as they enter and leave the United States. The Department of Homeland Security's National Security Entry-Exit Registration System will be implemented by next year at the 50 largest land ports of entry in the United States, including Nogales, Ariz., and Douglas. Its ultimate goal is to allow the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service to track - through a registration system - the arrival and departure of every foreign visitor. Once implemented, the system will allow the government...

<p>When Steve Jones carried a curious duct-taped tin can with wires protruding from its clear plastic top into Sen. Rick Santorum's office last month, a wide-eyed Senate staffer remarked, "I'm surprised you got this stuff up here."</p>
<p>So was Jones. But for reasons other than heightened security on Capitol Hill. For more than a decade, the house painter from Salt Lake City has run up against public indifference as he promoted the jury-rigged can he insists would save lives in a dirty-bomb attack by terrorists.</p>

Conservators speculate on last moments of USS Monitor's crew By SONJA BARISIC, Associated Press Writer NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) -- As the USS Monitor sank in the Atlantic during a storm off the coast of North Carolina on Dec. 31, 1862, the sailors knew they couldn't save the Union ironclad. So instead they tried to save meaningful possessions as they watched water run across the deck and waited to be rescued. That may be, conservators figure, how nearly 30 pieces of silver- and nickel-plated dinnerware ended up in the ship's turret. Five of the pieces found during excavation of the...

My internet cable modem company, Millennium Digital, has had its ups/downs lately. My wife says it is down during the day a lot. I don't have to pay for down time if I report it. It would be nice to have a simple system tray program that monitors/logs the cable Internet down time so I can request a refund if it gets unreasonable. Does anyone know of such a program? It would be nice if it was designed to just do the above.

"Eight people will be injected with silicon chips Friday, making them scannable just like a jar of peanut butter in the supermarket checkout line. The miniature devices, about the size of a grain of rice, were developed by a Florida company. They will be targeted to families of Alzheimer's patients--one of the fastest growing groups in American society--as well as others who have complicated medical histories.
