Le Monde

Le jury n'a pas assorti la peine d'une période de sûreté. Jusqu'au bout, le berger de Cargèse, âgé de 47 ans, a clamé son innocence dans l'assassinat du préfet Claude Erignac, le 6 février 1998. Il a fait appel.

Nashua, Nashua, where are you now?

A LOCAL US PAPER reported that Hewlett Packard is shutting down the Nashua site, so bringing to an end a proud era in computing. Nashua was a former DEC site and the guys and gals at Nashua produced many new things - or innovations as they're called in 21st century...

Size doesn't matter, apparently

IT'S NICE to get a gong every now and then, so Broadcom is trumpeting the fact that it came first in the newly released Wi-fi IC vendor matrix put together by ABI Research. Those who may be a little surprised by this might well find the comments from principal analyst,...

Hardware Stack o' t' Day If you're willing to pay the price

PCSTATS was blessed with a 128GB SSD unit from Super Talent. This unit presents itself in standard 2.5-inch format and has next to nothing power consumption. Faced-off with a Raptor X unit from WD, the SSD kicks some ass and pulls ahead in the random access/gazillions-of-small-files tests, as expected....

Hypocrisy in action

God alone knows what NatWest customer Chris Lancaster has done to offend the bank's card issuing department, but it recently sent him a new cash card on which he is gloriously identified as "Dick Head".

Or rather, his new title in full is Mr C Lancaster Dick Head, prompting the 18-year-old Essex man to lament to UK tabloid the Sun: "I know I've been overdrawn a few times and got a few ?30 charges but I’ve done nothing to deserve this."

Mr Lancaster is, of course, merely the latest victim of the great British pastime of "Let's stick something abusive on the cash card/electric bill/council tax demand". We are reminded of the outraged old chap - quite possibly a highly-decorated war hero if the Sun was reporting it - who got a bill from his local town hall addressed to "A C**t".

And, of course, long-term readers of El Reg will recall the shocking case of our very own "Dr Really Evil". Ho ho. ?

Even though the douche-bag Novak continues without issues from the administration, Time is going to hand over the notes naming the source of the Valerie Plame leak.
I for one one am holding my breath to see what actions the special counsel will take against the person.

The National Park Service is revising the video shown to visitors at the Lincoln Memorial, under pressure from conservatives who complained the program had ``a leftist viewpoint.''
The Reverend Louis Sheldon, head of the Traditional Values
Coalition, said the eight-minute video implied that Lincoln supported abortion and homosexuality. He said it showed demonstrations at the memorial, including pro-gay-rights and abortion-rights rallies, but no pro-Jesus or Promise Keepers marches.
Documents show the Park Service responded by purchasing video of President Bush, and pro-gun and pro-war rallies.
The original tape was created with input from high school
students around the country. Park Service Deputy Director Don Murphy says the service has a ``responsibility to present a balanced approach'' and doesn't respond solely to any special interest group.

Recently, anti-abortion extremist Neal Horsley was a guest on The Alan Colmes Show, a FOX News radio program. The topic was an interesting one - whether or not an internet service provider should allow Horsley to post the names of abortion doctors on his website. Horsley does that as a way of targeting them and one doctor has been killed. In the course of the interview, however, Colmes asked Horsley about his background, including a statement that he had admitted to engaging in homosexual and bestiality sex.

At first, Horsley laughed and said, "Just because it's printed in the media, people jump to believe it."

"Is it true?" Colmes asked.

"Hey, Alan, if you want to accuse me of having sex when I was a fool, I did everything that crossed my mind that looked like I..."

AC: "You had sex with animals?"

NH: "Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."

AC: "I'm not so sure that that is so."

NH: "You didn't grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?"

AC: "Are you suggesting that everybody who grows up on a farm in Georgia has a mule as a girlfriend?"

NH: It has historically been the case. You people are so far removed from the reality... Welcome to domestic life on the farm..."

Colmes said he thought there were a lot of people in the audience who grew up on farms, are living on farms now, raising kids on farms and "and I don't think they are dating Elsie right now. You know what I'm saying?"

Horsley said, "You experiment with anything that moves when you are growing up sexually. You're naive. You know better than that... If it's warm and it's damp and it vibrates you might in fact have sex with it."

SEN. SCHUMER: Isn’t it correct that on March 8, 2000, my colleague [Sen. Frist] voted to uphold the filibuster of Judge Richard Paez?

Here was Frist’s response:

The president, the um, in response, uh, the Paez nomination - we’ll come back and discuss this further. …' Actually I’d like to, and it really brings to what I believe - a point - and it really brings to, oddly, a point, what is the issue. The issue is we have leadership-led partisan filibusters that have, um, obstructed, not one nominee, but two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, in a routine way.

My Testimonials

John is far more attuned to gay hookers than I ever will be. The political impolications of course.

This guy's monYO. That's what I'm talking about!

John hired me, a complete newbie to the tech industry, and trusted me with a couple of million dollars worth of company assets. This was the biggest trust display I've ever seen. He's a good guy.
