Please understand that the device you linked to does NOT switch the USB power on or off - it uses the USB signal to send a digital code to a controller embedded in the power strip, and the controller then uses external thrysistors (or similar) to switch the mains voltage on or off. It probably...

Y2K - used as proof that scientists are unreliable

People are quick to forget who the REAL beneficiaries of Y2K were: enterprise software vendors, such as SAP, Peoplesoft, and Oracle, who sold thousands of enterprise licenses to replace non-Y2K compliant General Ledger systems, finance systems, etc. They were aided and abetted by the Big Six...

Conservatives ask FBI to investigate hotel porn

And the vast majority of people that were molested or raped DIDN'T go into porn... To be more serious, there may be a link, but it may not be strictly causual (not casual, causual - look it up). Very attractive women in their childhood recieve a lot of unwanted attention growing up - and...

Passengers reportedly arrested on Dutch flight

I don't know the full story, but it is being reported by CNN that the flight had on board two or more air marshalls, and the situation was serious enough so that one of them actually took the unheard of step of introducing himself AS an air marshall, and instructing the passengers on what to...

Conservatives ask FBI to investigate hotel porn

On a factual basis, no. Interspecies erotica and pedoephilia are never shown on hotel porn, nor is serious fetish video. It is very white bread, usually even edited to omit the "money shot", and in many hotel chains, direct shots of below the waist genitailia. Many porn makers now edit two...

For the record... If Hezbollah attacks Israel again

Rather untrue, or else their sponsors would not lavish so much money in support of them. Hezbollah is the recipient of millions upon millions of dollars - they are not there to kill without purpose. They are there to serve their political goals and masters, to advance an ideology or a...

Solution for Isreal -- begin annexing land.

Actually, my statement was just a summary of the last encounter - it was not meant to be a compendium. I was responding to dna's point that indicated that Hezbollah rockets had predicated the war. The flashpoint was unequivicably the siezure of the two Israeli soldiers as you state as well -...

For the record... If Hezbollah attacks Israel again

Hezbollah would have been SEVERLY weakened in the coming months when Assad is accused of the murder of the Lebanese Prime Minister. In fact, it is widely speculated that Assad ordered the Hezbollah provocation to draw attention away from the coming UN indictment against him. If NO war had just...

Solution for Isreal -- begin annexing land.

BTW - Israel was not attacked with rockets by Hezzbolah until after they flew air sorties against Hezzbolah on LEBANESE land - oops, did we forget that? No point in quoting the rest of your nonsense, since it's not worth the wasted bits. You obviously don't know much about the history of...

For the record... If Hezbollah attacks Israel again

EagleKeeper, The Lebanese did not "hook up" with Syria and Hezbollah. The Syrians siezed conrol over much of Lebanon after the decades long Civil War had decimated the country, and have dominated Lebanon for over a decade - friends of mine in the Lebanese government estimate that one quarter...

Your posts, beside being short of logic, spelling, grammar, and historical accuracy, are very funny. BTW - Israel was not attacked with rockets by Hezzbolah until after they flew air sorties against Hezzbolah on LEBANESE land - oops, did we forget that? It was the attack on a neutral...

Woman: Background is reason for US airport security alarm

I think the issue that The Register looked at is: you can make something explode pretty easily, but bringing down a plane takes a much larger explosion than just popping a few windows. And as for gassing, all airplanes have good venting systems in the air conditioning to the outside air (that's...

Woman: Background is reason for US airport security alarm

Does anybody at all really KNOW how hard it is to build a liquid explosive in-flight? I suggest the following reading, and then all pause and feel a bit used: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08/17/flying_toilet_terror_labs/ Now don't you all feel just a little better??? Future Shock

Solution for Isreal -- begin annexing land.

OP - where on earth do you get that taking LEBANESE land was a solution to a non-governmental party, a vermin, a parasite, that most Lebansese did not WANT to be there??? That's a great idea - let's see: if this parasite can provoke Israel, then Israel can take Lebanese land, despite the fact...

Interview with Nasrallah Sfeir - The Maronite Church Cardinal in Lebanon

Fantastic post...supported by my Christian friends in Beruit, or should I say, who USED to be in Beruit, but whom are now refugees in NYC and Toronto after their neighborhoods came under attack, and were evacuated by the Canadians (most have dual citizenship). Future Shock
