Three hurricane paths intersected in 2004 over the town of Homeland Florida in six weeks time. The hurricanes where Charley, Frances and Jeanne. The town a few miles to the north of Homeland is Ft. Meade Florida.
What are the odds that three hurricanes intersect in single season? What are the odds that in an era of terrorism, when the "homeland" is under attack from shadowy Al Qaeda types, that the tiny town of Homeland Florida is "attacked" by a mathematically unlikely event such as three intersecting hurricanes?
Amateur weather site skeetobite.com plotted the three hurricane intersection from data from the National Hurricane Center. Then in January 2005 the NHC data was updated and the three hurricanes moved off of Homeland, five miles to the east. All three hurricane tracks moved the same distance to the east.
Weather control is not a far off, decades away goal.
I fully expect the scientific dictatorship to mod this post out of existence.
Who said it would need an act of Congress? Get yourself chipped and get a decent reduction in insurance premiums in return and people will wait in line to get one.
In the 1970's it was: "Who cares if gas prices are going up, just get a diesel car. Diesel is a LOT cheaper my friend."
Of course the price of diesel is comparable to gasoline and has always been within pennies of each other. There's no financial benefit here that can't be taken away easily.
The chipping story is merely to scare people. It is a ridiculous idea giving a false sense of security to people who don't understand computing. And the reasons for scaring people won't be discussed here.
"Microsoft seems to be held to a completely different set of standards than other companies."
Maybe they're military. Apparently they use siege propaganda on the workers to get them to hustle. Computers and communications are hotbeds for the intelligence folks. It's one area that we wouldn't want to trust to a mere corporation. It wouldn't surprise me a bit. All this talk about Bill Gates and his "good luck" in the early days is analagous to a tiny David against the mightly Goliath... Maybe it was all planned that way.
"Current fastest [publically ackknowledged] supercomputer is the partially finished Blue Gene is capable of 136.8 teaflops and the target when finished is 360 teraflops."
When "anarchists" have been present in past protests, they have been shown to be plain clothes policemen for the purposes of provocateuring (starting violence) which then give police the justification to crack everybody's head. Just concoct a few anarchists and it doesn't matter if it's ray guns or tractor beams. The end result is the same: the scientific dictatorship is setting the rules and your opinion doesn't count.

Greetings to all the fine folks in high places.
Me thinks Slashdot advertises for Microsoft.

Good point. I was referring to the XP Home edition.
These TCO stories are baffling to me. With the cost of hardware remaining the same, Linux is the clear winner:
Linux: $0
Windows: $129
Yes, the DOD and their minions are very prevalant on the net.

Is there any possible way in hell Microsoft could have secretly sponsored Linus starting way back in the beginning? Divide and conquer?
