A girl phoned me the other day and said, \"Come on over; nobody's\n home.\" I went over. Nobody was home.\n\n03. During sex, my girlfriend always wants to talk to me. Just the\n other night she called me from a hotel\n\n04. One day I came home early from work... I saw a guy jogging\n naked. I said to the guy, \"Hey buddy, why are you doing that?\" He\n said \"Because you came home early.\"\n\n05. It's been a rough day. I got up this morning... put a shirt on\n and button fell off. I picked up my briefcase, and the handle\n came off. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.\n\n06. I was such an ugly kid... When I played in the sandbox, the cat\n kept covering me up.\n\n07. I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and\n radio.\n\n08. I was such an ugly baby... My mother never breast fed me. She\n told me that she only liked me as a friend.\n\n09. I'm so ugly... My father carries around a picture of the kid who\n came with his wallet.\n\n10. When I was born, the doctor came into the waiting room and said to\n my father, \"I'm sorry. We did everything we could, but he pulled\n through.\"\n\n11. I'm so ugly... My mother had morning sickness... AFTER I was\n born.\n\n12. I remember the time that I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of\n my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.\n\n13. Once when I was lost, I saw a policeman, and asked him to help me\n find my parents. I said to him, \"Do you think we'll ever find\n them?\" He said,\"I don't know kid. There's so many places they can\n hide.\"\n\n14. My wife made me join a bridge club. I jump off next Tuesday.\n\n15. I'm so ugly... I worked in a pet shop, and people kept asking how\n big I'd get.\n\n16. I went to see my doctor. \"Doctor, every morning when I get up and\n I look in the mirror... I feel like throwing up; What's wrong\n with me?\" He said... \"I don't know but your eyesight is perfect.\"\n\n17. I went to the doctor because I'd swallowed a bottle of sleeping\n pills. My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.\n\n18. With my old man I got no respect. I asked him, \"How can I get my\n kite in the air?\" He told me to run off a cliff.\n\n19. Some dog I got. We call him Egypt because in every room he leaves\n a pyramid. His favorite bone is in my arm. Last night he went on\n the paper four times - three of those times I was reading it.\n\n20. One year they wanted to make me poster boy - for birth control.\n\n21. My uncle's dying wish was to have me sitting in his lap; he was in\n the electric chair.\n\n\n" |

Even then, those relics were\nwell on their way from bargain bins to the dust bin of PC history.\n Since then, few if any new computers have sold for less than\n$200. Any that did were seriously outdated or inoperable.\n Now, in a challenge to established tech giants, several upstarts\nhave banded together to create a PC that retails for $199.86.\n It doesn't do Windows. In fact, it doesn't do a lot of things.\n The Microtel SYSMAR710, sold only at Wal-Mart's online store,\nruns on a Linux operating system variant called Lindows, which has\nbeen hyped as a new choice for consumers who want to break away\nfrom the Microsoft monopoly.\n\n...\n\n - http://finance.lycos.com/home/news/story.asp?story=28928829\n\n\n" |

The fake site was used to squeeze\n more money out of people they had already hooked. \n \n The site has been shut down. But UK National Criminal Intelligence Service,\n (NCIS), said at least two Canadians had lost more than $100,000 after being\n taken in by the fake website. \n \n The scam behind the fake web domain was the familiar one that offers people a\n share of the huge sums of money they need moved out of various African\n nations. \n \n NCIS said the use of the web was helping the conmen hook victims that would\n otherwise spot the scam. \n \n Convincing site \n \n News of this latest scam was revealed by BBC Radio5Live. It found that an\n unclaimed web domain of a UK bank had been used by conmen to get more cash out\n their victims. \n\n A NCIS spokesman said the domain looked legitimate because it had \"the\" in\n front of the bank's name. \n \n \"I have seen the microsite myself and it's very sophisticated,\" said the NCIS\n spokesman. \"It's very convincing especially to people not very experienced\n online.\" \n \n Once the con was discovered it was quickly shut down. However, the people\n behind it have not been caught. \n \n NCIS does know that at least two people have lost more than $100,000. \n \n The bank involved has bought up the domain used in the con as well as many\n other permutations of its name to limit the chance it could happen again. \n\n Domain games \n \n Usually people are first hooked in to what has become known as Advanced Fee or\n 419 fraud by replying to an unsolicited fax or e-mail offering a share of any\n cash successfully moved out of Africa. \n \n The '419' refers to the part of the Nigerian penal code dealing with such\n crimes. \n \n Like any con, there is no money to be moved at all and instead anyone taking\n the bait is asked to pay increasingly large sums to supposedly bribe\n uncooperative officials and to smooth the passage of the cash. \n \n Although this con has been practiced for years, people still fall victim to\n it. \n \n NCIS estimates that up to five Americans are sitting in hotel lobbies in\n London everyday waiting to meet people connected with this con. \n \n Cutting edge fraud \n \n Often the conmen provide fake banking certificates to give the con an air of\n legitimacy. \n \n \n People tricked into clicking on fake sites\n \n But a spokesman for NCIS said fake or spoof websites are now being used in\n place of the certificates. \n \n \"To many people nowadays the cutting edge of banking technology is web\n technology,\" said the spokesman. \n \n One of the first groups of conmen to use this method set up a fake website\n that supposedly gave victims access to accounts held at the South African\n Reserve Bank, the country's national bank. \n \n Typically, victims are given a login name and password and are encouraged to\n visit the site so they can see that the cash they are getting a share of has\n been deposited in their name. \n \n But before they can get their hands on the cash, the victims are typically\n asked to hand over more of their own money to help the transfer go ahead. \n \n Once the South African police discovered the ruse they declared it a national\n priority crime and soon arrested the 18 people behind it. \n \n Modern gloss \n \n An briefing paper prepared by NCIS in August on organised crime noted that\n criminals were increasingly turning to the web to lure new victims and give\n old cons a modern gloss. \n \n The NCIS spokesman urged people who have fallen victim to 419 fraud to come\n forward and help it track down the perpetrators. He said in the last two\n months it had arrested 24 people overseas involved with this type of fraud. \n \n He said any e-mail, fax or letter making an offer that looks to good too be\n true, undoubtedly is. \n \n One of the first companies to fall victim to website spoofing was net payment\n service Paypal. \n \n Conmen set up a fake site and asked people to visit and re-enter their account\n and credit card details because Paypal had lost the information. \n \n The website link included in the e-mail looked legitimate but in fact directed\n people to a fake domain that gathered details for the conmen's personal use. \n\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

Jason \nLevine has more links[3] to those involved. I spoke with one of the people who \nimplemented it, and she claims it wasn't a protest as such, more of an inside \njoke. Point taken: the entire point of an aggregator (and syndication in \ngeneral) is to make everyone's words look the same. Counterpoint: the default \nin most weblog systems is to only publish excerpts in RSS feeds; nobody's \nforcing you to publish full posts.

The new\narchbishop has repeatedly assured them that he respects the canons of the\nchurch.\nNevertheless, the society said: \"It is clear that he prefers his private\njudgment to the voice of scripture, to the voice of tradition and to the\ncommon mind of the church. As such he can only be a focus of disunity.\n\"The council... called upon loyal Anglicans to pray specifically that Rowan\nWilliams would see the error in his teaching, change his views or stand\ndown,\" it said.\nThe society claimed to have drawn up an \"action plan,\" including calling on\nbishops and primates of the 70 million worldwide Anglican communion, of\nwhich archbishops of Canterbury are the leaders, to distance themselves from\nDr Williams's doctrinal and ethical position. It promised it would be\n\"taking steps towards appropriate direct action\".\nIt added that Dr Williams remained on the editorial board of a journal\ncalled Theology and Sexuality which, six months ago, published articles\nallegedly commending homosexual behaviour.\nDespite its claim, the society does not represent the common mind of the\nchurch. Dr Williams, currently Archbishop of Wales, was chosen by the crown\nappointments commission of church members, including evangelicals, and his\nappointment was endorsed by the prime minister and the Queen.\nHe is due to succeed George Carey, who retires this month, and will be\nformally enthroned at Canterbury cathedral in February.\nAsked what form direct action might take, the Rev George Curry, the\nsociety's chairman, said: \"Watch this space.\" Presumably it could involve a\nsmall minority of parishes repudiating the new archbishop and seeking\nalternative oversight or even demonstrations at services where Dr Williams\nis present.\nChurch of England bishops, who have hitherto largely kept their heads down\nduring the row, are meeting next week to discuss their response to the\nevangelical extremists' challenge, which appears to have grown in the\nabsence of a robust rebuttal.\nA letter by senior theologians in today's Guardian, however, repudiates the\nevangelicals' tactics, calling them unseemly and contrary to biblical\nteaching.\nOn the BBC's Thought for the Day yesterday, Angela Tilby, vice-principal of\nWestcott House, Cambridge, accused Dr Williams's opponents of presumption\nand blackmail. \"It is in fact a thoroughly aggressive way to behave. It is\nattempting to force an issue by emotional violence... manipulating to get\nyour way is often preferable to painstaking negotiation,\" she said.\nLast week, Dr Williams said he was deeply saddened. \"Matters of sexuality\nshould not have the priority or centrality that Reform and the Church\nSociety have tried to give them. The archbishop cannot withdraw his\nappointment since so many, including evangelicals, have urged him to take\nthe post... the archbishop believes it to be his duty under God.\"\n\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

But the two new species,\notiorhynchus armadillo and otiorhynchus salicicola, not previously known\nnorth of Switzerland, are now prevalent in south London. \"It's very likely\nthese weevils have been introduced to Britain through imported ornamental\nplants from Italy,\" said Dr Barclay. \"It looks like they're here to stay.\"\nHe found otiorhynchus armadillo on the window of a Chelsea department store\nin 1998, but as the shop sold imported house plants, he assumed it was a\nmigrant. It has now quietly become the most common species of vine weevil in\nsouth-west London. The second invader is not so numerous, but has\nestablished itself firmly in the same area.\nApart from laurels, vine weevils attack bay, viburnum, ornamental ivy, and\ngrape vines. An early sign of trouble is that notches appear in leaves. The\nsoil-dwelling larvae bite the roots off below the surface.\nOne possible explanation for the invaders' successful colonisation of\nBritain is global warming. Earlier springs and milder winters are already a\nfact.\n\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

The two men pioneered the construction of giant\nunderground chambers to detect neutrinos, elusive particles that stream from\nthe sun by the billion.\nNeutrinos offer an unparalleled view of the sun's inner workings because\nthey are produced in its heart by the same process that causes it to shine.\nIn fact, Davis' early experiments, performed during the 1960s in a South\nDakota gold mine, confirmed that the sun is powered by nuclear fusion.\nKoshiba won his share of the prize for his work at the Kamiokande neutrino\ndetector in Japan. That experiment confirmed and extended Davis' work, and\nalso discovered neutrinos coming from distant supernova explosions, some of\nthe brightest objects in the universe.\nThe Italian-born Giacconi, a U.S. citizen, was awarded half of the prize for\nbuilding the first X-ray telescopes that provided ``completely new - and\nsharp - images of the universe,'' the academy said.\nHis research laid the foundation for X-ray astronomy, which has led to the\ndiscovery of black holes and allowed researchers to peer deep into the\nhearts of the dusty young galaxies where stars are born.\nWhen academy officials reached Giacconi by phone at his home outside\nWashington, he said he was ``dumbstruck'' to learn of the prize. Koshiba\nalso was phoned at home in Tokyo, but the academy was still trying to reach\nDavis, spokesman Erling Norrby said.\nThis year's Nobel awards started Monday with the naming of Britons Sydney\nBrenner, 75, and Sir John E. Sulston, 60, and American H. Robert Horvitz,\n55, as winners of the medicine prize, selected by a committee at the\nKarolinska Institute.\nThe researchers shared it for discoveries about how genes regulate organ\ngrowth and a process of programmed cell deaths that shed light on how\nviruses and bacteria invade human cells, including in conditions such as\nAIDS, strokes, cancer and heart attacks.\nThe winner of the Nobel Prize in chemistry will be named on Wednesday\nmorning and the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of\nAlfred Nobel later the same day.\nThe literature prize winner will be announced on Thursday, the Swedish\nAcademy said on Tuesday.\nThe winner of the coveted peace prize - the only one not awarded in Sweden -\nwill be announced Friday in Oslo, Norway.\nThe award committees make their decisions in deep secrecy and candidates are\nnot publicly revealed for 50 years.\nAlfred Nobel, the wealthy Swedish industrialist and inventor of dynamite who\nendowed the prizes left only vague guidelines for the selection committees.\nIn his will he said the prize being revealed on Tuesday should be given to\nthose who ``shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind'' and\n``shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field\nof physics.''\nThe Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which also chooses the chemistry and\neconomics winners, invited nominations from previous recipients and experts\nin the fields before cutting down its choices. Deliberations are conducted\nin strict secrecy.\nThe prizes are presented on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death in\n1896, in Stockholm and in Oslo.\n---\nOn the Net:\nNobel site, http://www.nobel.se \n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

That's good because there would be a risk of stroke if they \nwere sick, and not a whole lot they can do about it (as they can with the \nheart). \n\nNow there was some not-good news. A small part of my heart isn't working very \nwell. There are a few possible reasons for that, some fixable, some not. I \nasked the doctor, does this mean I'm going to die sooner, and he said no. Does \nit mean I have to restrict what I do, he said no. So what does it mean? Really \nnot much, other than I should watch, as before, for recurring symptoms, the \nones that brought me into the hospital in June. If they come back, we'll do an \nangiogram, and maybe an angioplasty, but the likelihood of another bypass \nbecause of this is small. That's quite a relief.
