USB Swiss Army Knife
finno writes "The Register has a heads-up on a new Swiss Army knife by Victorinox. As the article says, 'Given that you can buy a Victorinox Swiss Army Knive with just about
every gadget known to man, from horse-hoof awl to Hubble Space
Telescope lens polisher, it's no real surprise that the company - in
association with flash memory outfit Swissbit
- is now offering cutting tools plus USB flash memory stick.' In my
home state of New South Wales, it is illegal
to be carrying a knife without a reasonable excuse such as 'the
lawful pursuit of the
person's occupation'. I got me a reasonable excuse now!"

Lets return Bush because nothing you say about him is true, and Kerry is far worse in just about every respect.

MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- At least 173 people were killed and more than 600 injured in a series of explosions on Madrid's railway network at the height of morning rush hour, Spain's interior minister says.
Spanish officials are blaming the Basque separatist group ETA for the coordinated attack, which comes ahead of Sunday's general election.
Spanish Interior Minister Angel Acebes said there were a total of 13 explosions at the Santa Eugenia, El Pozo and Atocha stations. He said there was "no doubt" ETA was responsible.
The most deadly blast happened on a train entering Madrid's main Atocha station, Acebes said.
Security forces found other bombs, and detonated them in controlled explosions, he added.
Survivors described scenes of chaos and panic in the Spanish capital.
"The worst was people screaming for help inside the train and there was nothing we could do," one survivor told CNN+.
People in tears walked away from the city's main Atocha station in droves as rescue workers carried bodies away from the scene.
Many people with bloodied faces sat on curbs, using mobile phones to tell loved ones they were alive. (More eyewitness)
After the blasts, all political parties announced they were suspending campaign rallies ahead of Sunday's election, but there has been no word that elections would be suspended.
The government called for a three-day period of mourning and impromptu anti-ETA demonstrations have broken out in parts of Madrid.
So far, there has been no claim of responsibility.
ETA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union, of which Spain is a member.
Before Thursday's attack, ETA had been blamed for 800 deaths since it began its fight for an independent homeland in Spain's northern Basque region.
Spanish police -- who have foiled several recent bombing attempts by ETA -- were on high alert for terror attacks by the separatist group ahead of Sunday's vote.
Video of the scene showed the wreckage of the train at Atocha, broken into pieces by the force of the explosions
if the sites slashdot links to get slashdoted, how come slashdot itself never gets slashdoted??
(I just stopped by cnn.com to check whether the article is real -- it is).
All we need. More impetus for rights-restricting "anti-terrorism" laws. Presumably little enthusiasm for addressing root causes. People like smashing things when they get mad or scared.

I was at a renfest a while back and someone was selling a selection of maces. Bashing users with a mace... now that would be fun!
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
The trouble is when the cop doesn't like you, so then he can arrest you for carrying razor blades in your shopping.
They're too busy feeling sorry for how they've hurt themselves and others.
Hahahahaha, what a load of shit. You don't a single dirty fucking smack head do you?
The only thing a smack head is busy feeling is the fucking craving for the next needle in their arm. Fuck all else matters. They're not even generally aware of the people in the room with them, let alone their fucking feelings of sorrow for anyone else!
