A new version of DAPHNE, a laserdisc arcade game emulator, has just been released under the GPL, featuring full mpeg2 support. A total of ten laserdisc arcade games are playable including Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, and Cliff Hanger. Screenshots are available :)" I don't know how many people have laserdisc players these days, but this is still neat.

    The Ministry of Defence has refused to discuss reports that an SAS unit was fired on by Taleban soldiers in the foothills of Kabul.

    The four-man reconnaissance team escaped unhurt after disturbing Taleban troops near the Afghan capital, the Mail on Sunday and both Sunday Times reported.

    Both papers reported that the SAS had been in the country for five days and had already linked up with anti-Taleban rebels of the Northern Alliance.

    BRITISH intelligence agents have discovered the position of terror chief Osama bin Laden.

    A specialist MI6 squad ? some working undercover in Afghanistan ? traced the Al-Queda leader to a desolate region close to the town of Jalalabad on the country's north-east border with Pakistan.

    PM Tony Blair's official spokesman last night confirmed: "Bin Laden is in Afghanistan. We know he is there, put it that way."

    Math makes you superior and sexually attractive to blonde females.

  6. To the People who say America had it coming... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    America defends its interests, sometimes skilfully, sometimes clumsily, just as other countries do. Since power, like nature, abhors a vacuum, it steps into places where disorder reigns. On the whole, it should do so more, not less, often.

    Of all the great powers in history, it is probably the least territorial, the most idealistic. Muslims in particular should note that the armed interventions in Bosnia and Kosovo, both led by America, were attacks on Christian regimes in support of Muslim victims. In neither did the United States stand to make any material gain; in neither were its vital interests, conventionally defined, at stake. Those who criticise America's leadership of the world's capitalist system--a far from perfect affair--should remember that it has brought more wealth and better living standards to more people than any other in history. And those who regret America's triumph in the cold war should stop to think how the world would look if the Soviet Union had won.

    America's policies may have earned it enemies. But in truth, it is difficult to find plausible explanations for the virulence of last week's attacks, except in the envy, hatred and moral confusion of those who plotted and perpetrated them.
