So What?
Microsoft says Open Office.org 10 years behind
Even if Microsoft’s claim is true (which it certainly is not), so what? What’s been added to Microsoft Office since 1996 that you can’t live without?
Not what I’d expect…
 Your Ultimate Sci-Fi Profile II: which sci-fi crew would you best fit in? (pics) created with QuizFarm.com |
You scored as Deep Space Nine (Star Trek). You have entered the dark side of the Star Trek universe. The paradise of Earth is far from you and you must survive despite having enemies on all fronts. But you wouldn’t have it any other way because you thrive in conflict and will know what needs to be done to take care of those around you. Now if only the Founders would quit trying to take over the galaxy.

Missouri Republicans: Unclear on the concept
(via Eschaton)
State bill proposes Christianity be Missouri’s official religion (soul stealing registration may be required):
Missouri legislators in Jefferson City considered a bill that would name Christianity the state’s official “majority” religion.
House Concurrent Resolution 13 has is pending in the state legislature.
Many Missouri residents had not heard about the bill until Thursday.
Karen Aroesty of the Anti-defamation league, along with other watch-groups, began a letter writing and email campaign to stop the resolution.
The resolution would recognize “a Christian god,” and it would not protect minority religions, but “protect the majority’s right to express their religious beliefs.
The resolution also recognizes that, “a greater power exists,” and only Christianity receives what the resolution calls, “justified recognition.”
State representative David Sater of Cassville in southwestern Missouri, sponsored the resolution, but he has refused to talk about it on camera or over the phone.
KMOV also contacted Gov. Matt Blunt’s office to see where he stands on the resolution, but he has yet to respond.
I guess some Missouri legislators have nothing better to do than to propose blatantly unconstitutional legislation.
Virtucon gets some funding from the Pentagon
Pentagon mulling ‘stealth sharks’ to patrol the seas:
The Pentagon is reportedly funding research into neural implants with the ultimate hope of turning sharks into “stealth spies” capable of gliding undetected through the ocean.
According to the British weekly New Scientist, the research builds on experimental work to control animals by implanting tiny electrodes in their brain, which are then stimulated to induce a behavioral response.
The next logical step is to equip these sharks with frickin’ laser beams.
You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?

Tape: Bush, Chertoff Warned Before Katrina
In dramatic and sometimes agonizing terms, federal disaster officials warned President Bush and his homeland security chief before Hurricane Katrina struck that the storm could breach levees, put lives at risk in New Orleans’ Superdome and overwhelm rescuers, according to confidential video footage.
Bush didn’t ask a single question during the final briefing before Katrina struck on Aug. 29, but he assured soon-to-be-battered state officials: “We are fully prepared.”
“Bush didn’t ask a single question…” WTF????
Was this yet another case of Bush’s intellectual laziness leading to disaster?
I Don’t Know What’s Worse
That Rachael Ray has to be on yet another Food Network show, or that I’m going to actually end up rooting for Bobby Flay…
Has RACHAEL RAY met her match? The Food Network maven appears for the first time on “Iron Chef America,” teaming up with Chef MARIO BATALI to take on competing Chefs BOBBY FLAY and GIADA DE LAURENTIIS in the Kitchen Stadium…
