I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and
injured 1,000; President Clinton promised that those responsible would be
hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia,
which killed five U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1996
Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200
U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be
hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies
in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that
those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 2000
bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors;
Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
If Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 7,000 people in New
York, Pennsylvannia, and Washington, D.C. that are now dead would be
Alive today. The blame lies at Clinton's feet.
Exactly. I still harbor intense anger at Netscape for introducting Tables.
What insanity and bad design practice that has since unleashed.

People are getting mail with Anthrax? Sounds like an interesting promotion on the part of the band, although I prefer Bon Jovi myself.

We used to receive viruses when opening email attachments, some people asked for the boycott of Outlook. Now I guess we have to boycott the post office, maybe even sue them.

Corporations aren't known for doing the right thing.. becuase it's illegal for them to do so. No, really, it is.
You see, public corporations have a duty to protect the interests of their shareholders. They cannot do something because it's 'right'. IF wha they are doing is legal, and profitable, they cannot go and STOP doing it just because it's not 'right'.
THat's the problem.
