Rhein-Main Air Base, Germany 1985. Don't know the exact story but a lady slept with some airman and stole his id, drove onbase with a bomb in the car and blew it. 3 people died.
I went on a trip to Florida last year and took my IBM Thinkpad 600 and the original 6gb hd that I installed AOL on it. I was going for a week so aol was my best choice becouse I could sing up and then cancel with out paying when I was in my hotel room.
Anyways I took the drive and just threw it in my suitcase. Everything worked fine, swaped my drive in Tampa and then came back to cold germany. On the was back I also chucked my hd in the case, well one of the pins bent slightly and I forced (like an idiot) the drive in to laptop. I ended up busting the connector on the motherboard.
Long story short I ended up fixing the HD connector with tin foil and tape. but when I was putting the laptop together the pcmcia busted. all the frikin' pins fell out! somehow I fixed that too, but this time using nail clippers to trim the pins.
Suprisingly my Thinkpad is still kickin' ass with the hd working (loud as hell!) and both pcmcia slots working!
Last month a freind wanted to install windows on a webplayer and needed a laptop with a cdrom, he asked me and I gave him the look. uhh sure.
I was talking to one guy that works for DRMO (a goverment agancy that sells old computers and such) He was telling me how they get 1-2 year old Sun servers and cover pot holes in roads with them. I could not sleep all night. They take these Suns that still work and have a good value and just grind them up to fill holes in roads. The reson they can't sell them (this is was the goverment want's you to belive) is that they held top secret information. Hmmm, hello? junk the hard drives but spare the other parts! Thats what they use to do but my guess is that it's "cost prohibitive" now.
I take it you never watched the superbowl on AFN (Armed Forces Network) - Insted of the normal commercials you see we get goverment propaganda like how to spot a terrorist, or how to practice good OPSEC - (operatinal security?)
Whenever I goto the states I watch the commerials and say "wow!"
I think factories will be the first to buy these, goto any big factory and you will see a lot of the same looking bikes. Now I'm sure that Mercedes or BMW will have the cash to buy these. Give them to people on the factory tour and watch your sales rise... Another issue is that a factory will have a person from Segway onsite that will services them.
I have a feeling that fatories will purches a lot of these. My only question is how long does the battey last???
Software giant Microsoft's top software developers all took a 4 week "brain storming" trip to the Bahamas. Details to the confrence are unknown but are rummored to included swiming, tanning and looking for secutity bugs.
I bought my new computer about 6 months ago with a new Lain-Li case that has 2 big blowers cooling the drive. The new IBM 40giger died in 4 months, bought a WD 60giger and died 2 months later.
I just think that new drives have such small platters space that the heads are more sensitive. At work he had an old 30MB drive and installed win3.1 on it, removed the HD cover and had it running for a month in the open, later we got board and stated trowing things at it, then frezing it with an air can... still ran. Of course we abusded so much that eventuly it died.
I stoped at London Heathrow a few weeks ago and they have these "XPOD" kiosks or something similar, well they run windows 98 and connect with wireless. I pulled out my NAI Sniffer and found the ip address range 10.10.10.x/24 (if I remeber) then I assosiated myself to the network and found that all the kiosk machines have the 'c' drive shared out - full accsess! and NO PASSWORD. At least the internet connection was a bit more secure, they went threw a proxy server and when I tried to brouse the internet from my laptop all I got was the xpod logo.
JKF at New York has some small network, but nothing intresting and no internet.
Frankfurt (Germany) has also some network but also nothing fun, all I see is novell broadcasts.

The funny thing is is that Bill does not care, Balmer even said that they don't really mind it becouse they are using MS software, now in 3 or 5 years when Asia has a better market going on eveyone will know how to use MS software and the big corps don't want to be bothered so they will fork over the money.
I knew this guy who was in the Army and worked at AFN (Armed Forces Network). He told me that they easly take the cnn satilites if something was wrong with there own. I don't know if cnn knows or cares but he put it in a funny way, "CNN is everyware so why make a backup network if all you have to do is borrow someone elses"
The guy that runs the Linux newsletter on lockergnome.com builds telescopes. He was saying on one of his newsletters that he uses Red Hat 6.2 to power his telescopes. He also said that he was selling them to Japan, so it soulds like he knows what he is doing.

Who is liable if a lock on my front door does not work? The company who made the lock? Or me for not being able to afford a good lawyer?
I would really like to know what some lawyers have to say.
What about those Pocket CE phones? They have them in europe.
"Oh really?... So you mean it dosn't use wires huh? Kinda like my TV remote huh? Wow!
And those machines were bought from DRMO. DRMO sells some items, but others they just fill roads with. sad.

The real question I ask is how was the pizza?
My father took me to the bookstore one day and pointed out that book, then he took it and walked up to the cashier and bought it.
You can imagin the drive home was quiet!
Then my father says, "the book was your moms idea."

I think that the best solution would be to get an old 486 throw in a ISA nic and just install Linux or *BSD on it and just copy the files over.
Besides after you done you have a PC to play with.

I guess a terrorist would not want to attack CNN.
