    Update, 7:15 p.m. Thursday: The situation surrounding the damaged spillway at Oroville Dam has escalated into a crisis, with state water managers hoping they can dump enough water down the badly compromised structure to prevent the state’s second-largest reservoir from pouring over an emergency release point that has never been used before. Flow rates down the collapsing spillway were increased late Thursday morning to 35,000 cubic feet per second.

    Microsoft founder Bill Gates, the world's richest man, said today the tax office in the US has to store his financial data on a special computer because his fortune is so vast.

    YAHOO! users being targeted by HACKER. An evil hacker (probably some spammer pissed about having his spam blocked by Yahoo! SpamGuardTM) has developed a new technology which completely fools SpamGuardTM.  Embedded in the messages is a powerful hacker exploit which damages the operating system of the unsuspecting Yahoo! user if they follow any of the links or click on the "unsubscribe me" opt-out link which is required by Minnesota and California laws governing UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email).
