    From Steven Rhue's Plaxo profile, he graduated from Wahoo High school in Bumf**K..er Wahoo, NE in 2002, so he is only about 26. His Plaxo profile also has links to both Chet Uber's and Susan Van der Gaast's Plaxo profiles.
    His Linkedin profile shows him living in Lincoln, NE, which fits with other things I read. It also shows him owning/related to T.G.B.S Construction, which I haven't found anything on.

    If you like that then check out the linked site for BPH Global. besides being a) the same color. b) the same cheap-ass Drupal. c) even crappier looking (if possible)., click on the Background link and read that. I have read better written spam emails which want to give me millions/make my p3n1s bigger/ sell me v1agra. For thos not wanting to waste your time traveling there, I give you the treasure that is their background:

    If you audience are in the field of Information Technology, the term "information theory" is almost always attributed to the word of Claude Shannon, but BBHC Global LLC looks into pre-computational information -- as well as the forms which use the measure of content as a relation to entropy. This section will discuss for our audience the various types of "Information Theory" as we best understand them, along with samples to illustrate. From this we look into applications of the various theories.

  4. Sensational...ism on 100 Million Facebook Pages Leaked On Torrent Site · · Score: 5, Informative

    Sensationalism - A manner of over-hyping events, being deliberately controversial, loud, self centred or acting to obtain attention. It is also a form of theatre.

    Yep, that's pretty much it.

    Just because he found the super-secret directory, http://www.facebook.com/directory/ and wrote a program that would read it. Of all the evil, nefarious things to do.

    What will it hurt to lose the the Chinese?

    I take all the bits and pieces of old systems and strategically around my office on shelves, in boxes, and on the floor to give it the productive, lived-in look of a technological genius. I might just have them fooled.

    Since you failed to read the settlement itself than you probably wont read this but...

    4. HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM PART OF THE SETTLEMENT?

  13. Re:Youwant dual mode transportation? on By Road and Rail? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If people had botherd to RTFA they would see that the claimed advantages are that the fuel consumption and emissions are lower than either a truck running on the road or a standard train due to the way it drives itself on the rails.

    In addition it also has the advantage of being able to quickly switch from rail to road. This is faster and more efficient than loading/unloading trailers and boxes on a railcar and truck.

  15. Remote Sensor System on Sensors Gone Wild · · Score: 4, Informative

    FYI - Deployable remote sensor systems are not a new concept. The U.S. Army has been using them since about Viet Nam in one form or another. I had the pleasure of visiting Iraq in order to deploy sensors during Desert Storm. The systems in current use can be seen here.
    The system in this article appears to potentially be the next generation of this sensor system.

  16. Beowulf Cluster on TCP/IP Enabled Lego Brick · · Score: 1

    If we could get Eric Harshbarger to build the Beowulf cluster it would rock. Either the Linux Penguin, R2D2, or the Desk are a few of the best.

  17. Re:Covad? on Dangers in the DSL World · · Score: 1

    I will back up Wolfstar on his statements. I work for the company that provides tech. support for Covad DSL and am a tech. support rep. Granted Covad doesn't bring me into every business decision they make, I still get information and am aware of what is going on. Wolfstar is pretty darn accurate in his statements from my point of view. Even though things may be a little rough at times, Covad is doing what they can to keep their place in the market and pick up the slack where these 'distressed' ISPs are dropping out.

    See what you did? I just spent the last hour looking for Texas toast :/ I figured the best place to start was Mrs. Bairds since they are in Texas and I know they sell it. They don't list it as a product.
    Dr. Toast doesn't seem to have anything on it.
    Finally!! Butter Krust lists it but no picture.
    I ran across a picture or two on other sites but didn't feel like linking them too. search on Google.

  20. Not too bright on Stolen Enigma Machine Held For Ransom · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or is what this guy is doing not the brightest thing. It would seem to me that pissing off the British intelligence community by threatening to destroy an important piece of their history if they aren't paid would tend to anger them a bit. They tend to have a very long memory. I hope this guy isn't fooling himself that he can hide from them either. They tend to be pretty good at finding people. I would think that he would have been better off helping them catch the person that stole it. I would think that if he cooperated a little bit they would be much more willing to reimburse him.
