RYONGGANG (UMBRELLA) - Early reports are coming in that there has been a explosion, likely nuclear in origin, in the city of Ryonggang, North Korea. Ryonggang has long been an economic center of North Korea, and specifically, the American run Umbrella Corporation. Although the exact information hasn't been confirmed, there were rumors of an outbreak of a virus in the city.
Although North Korean officials were unavailable for comment, an Umbrella Corporation official was willing to speak with us.
"We've learned of a massive explosion, of roughly 2 miles, in the middle of Ryonggang. Also, more disturbingly, there's been a rumor of a viral outbreak in the city as well. We can deny that, as we maintained radio contact up until the explosion. There was no such problem. The explosion was most likely an accident in the reactor. We will have a press release in the morning with more information." Charles Harriford reported to us on a phone interview.
As a city, Ryongang was one of the three corporate centers of the Umbrella corporation. It was originally made as the only completley open part of North Korea. Free access was granted to Americans, Brits, and Germans. Eventually, the xenophobic country allowed free access to the city by all nations, and handed control over to the Umbrella Corporation.
Named after the main animal that inhabits the forest surrounding the city, it is translated into "The City of Raccoons". Some foreign residents started calling it 'Raccoon City' after being unable to pronounce Ryonggang. The name stuck, and it is even designated on most maps as Raccoon City.
"It was likely a nuclear plant accident," William Harris, of the NRC reports, "Although North Korea has developed as a nuclear nation, they are still primitive in their development of safety measures."
Damage estimates are unavailable, but it likely reaches into the hundreds of billions of dollars. The explosion was estimated in the 5 kiloton range, based on the range of the damage.
The government has a water fueled car... but man, they won't tell us, because then we'd use all the water, and only have beer left to drink. And man, beer sets your mind free!
WKRP in cincinatttttiiiiiii! Old TV show. Had some guy named venus flytrap. And some lameass 80's nerd. Like, chester, lester, something like that. Oh, and there was a black guy, he was awesome.
Sigh, it wouldn't be 1GB/8b, the definition of a gigabit is 2^30 bits, or 1073741824 bits, or 134217728 bytes, or 131072 kilobytes, or 128mb of ram, not 128 kilobytes. This is double the amount of the XBox. Yes, yawn away visgoth.
As good of an idea as this is, the system should have been made opt-in instead of opt-out. Some people might not mind being heard on the web, but being heard through other mediums may not be in their plans. And, also, there is no way for an independent artist to have been heard by say, a record label, and contact the person, as there is no interface. Good idea, bad implementation.
Being able to project the orbit of a decaying planet around a binary Pulsar-White Dwarf pair is not the same as writing a C++ program in an embedded enviroment. Albeit, I'm sure proficiency among the scientists in the programming languages are far higher than that of the general public, but it must be far simpler to just buy a mechanical watch that is nearly guaranteed to be flawless by nature, or work for days on making a bug free watch that is far more prone to failure.
I nearly got suspended from school because I installed seti@home on all the machines. With this, I can still maintain my EVIL distributed computing campaign, and do it without them knowing!
Hopefully this means that Japan will put more force onto the US government to switch to VoIP. The system is so much more efficient than plain analog lines. Japan does tend to set trends for the US.
I'm sorry, but calling the Voynich Manuscript a hoax is unfeasible. Sure, could it have in theory been a hoax? Yes, but there is no point to this. The "hoaxer" creates this in 3+ months, with very accurate drawings, and probably hangs on to it till he dies, so that it can be sold to a king 100 years later and eventually make it to america?
Then again, maybe Nostradamus wrote it.
It is a good concept, by all means. But, the bittorrent development community isn't that impressive. The program is great, but implementing RSS into BitTorrent would require an overhaul of the entire engine. I would love it if this got put into future versions, but I'm not that hopeful.
Unlikely. China's space program is still in it's infancy, and a Lagrange point would be pointless for them. The Russians likely wouldn't fight hard for them, as they know we would almost certainly let them use ours.
Absolutley. They are clearly marked... now. Yahoo's ads were pretty well marked way back. But they merged slowly with search results, until the search results were tainted beyond repair

Cincinatti is famous for something other than WKRP.
What are the going to do next? Stop selling slaves, prostituted, and children? GOD!

I've gotten 300 emails of this today. I'm getting pissedededed.
But does it's insulation properties beat that of Trellium-D?
But it states that the console has 128MB, not the cartridges. If the cartridges had 128MB of Storage, the press release would have stated so.

Wow. Witty.
I thought it would of been the condom.

This idea is like Windows XP Media Center Edition. Free software for everything you could possibly want in a Home Multimedia Center.
But ya'know, not at all gay like WinXP MCE

Lets see how long it takes wired to get DOS'ed by the Star Wars geeks of doom.

If nothing else, DDR Shows us that much.

Antimatter Beer? That's a hell of a bite.
This guy made 55 OS's run on a mac, when it can't even run it's own OS reliably. Simply amazing.
