U.S. Endorses ENUM
esarjeant writes "It looks like the the U.S. has endorsed ENUM (also known as E.164.arpa). This means you get a single number for phone and Internet, look for demos at Spring VON (San Jose, April 1-3) and VISIONng will be engaging in US trials. Essentially this means you get a new TLD of e164.arpa with your phone number in front of it." The addresses look pretty long and unwieldy, but supposedly consumer devices will make it easier to use.
to getting first post.
The FBI has reported to the Justice Department that it will no longer need or request individual warrants to wiretap individual phone numbers.
Sometimes I worry that I'll develop Alzheimer's disease, but no one will notice.
This is totally offtopic but here it goes anyway.
According to a paper released today 89 percent of all IT-companies in Sweden is in the red at this moment.
Thats right, only 11 percent is ok.
It's likely that the situation is similuar in the rest of the world.
We are going to see a massive number of IT-companies going bankrupt this year.
BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- A group of U.S. soldiers, parents of soldiers and six U.S. House members filed a lawsuit in federal court Thursday seeking to stop the president from launching a war against Iraq without a declaration of war from Congress.

The People's Investigation of 9/11
We declare a national emergency in uncovering what really happened on 9/11/2001 through an immediate call for an independent collaborative investigation worldwide. The U.S. government could help us but instead is doing everything it can to stop any investigations into 9/11.
The People's Investigation of 9/11 is an assemblage of international researchers and activists. Task-based functional groups work together on various projects, including research topics and volunteer efforts, in unison with other 9/11 evidence-finding efforts. Until a legitimate independent citizen's committee is funded and recognized by the U.S. government or a world political body or court, it is left up to the citizens of the world to investigate and share what they know with others.
What we know
"There was plenty of time to shoot down several of the planes, particularly the one we all knew was heading toward the Pentagon, which had enough time to fly 270 degrees around the Pentago and then hitting it where the least number of employees were working. Interviews with pilots in the air during the attacks indicate they were asked to land or simply verify the Pentagon was hit."
Scarificing Lives for a pretext
In his book, The Grand Chess Board, the former secretary of state laid out a plan detailing what the U.S. should do in order to establish and maintain global hegemony. He suggested that control over Central Asia was absolutely necessary. One of the major obstacles to the achievement of this plan, he noted, was the problem of securing domestic support for military presence and action abroad. In light of the horrific attacks on 9/11 his words carry additional significance.
"The attitude of the American public toward the external projection of American power has been much more ambivalent. The public supported America's engagement in World War II largely because of the shock effect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor."
"Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat."
"It is also a fact that America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America's power, especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic well-being. The economic self-denial (that is, defense spending) and the human sacrifice (casualties, even among professional soldiers) required in the effort are uncongenial to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization."
Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security advisor, in "THE GRAND CHESSBOARD - American Primacy And It's Geostrategic Imperatives," Basic Books, 1997.
In a January 13, 2002 Washington Post op-ed piece, Henry Kissinger argued for a quick commencement to the proposed war against Iraq - while people still remember 9-11, he said. A military operation against Iraq must begin with haste - "while the memory of the attack on the United States is still vivid and American-deployed forces are available to back up the diplomacy."
This is NOT a test. This is real, so wake up and SHOUT AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS!!
Bush did it. 911 was an inside job.
