NT In The Navy

Speaking of the Navy, the Swedish Navy is testing out a new stealth ship that will be all but invisible to radar. An interesting thing is that the “state of the art” computers on this new ship are running Windows NT. Asked about the all of the recent security flaws in Windows, spokesman Mr Nilsson said: “I am not an expert in computer security but we have… a lot of firewalls and clever ways of avoiding [being hacked].” — right.

    Perhaps the Swedish government should be a little more cautious when selecting their operatoring systems. Especially after USS Yorktown was paralyzed for several hours due to Windows NT.

    If you enjoy your robotic vacuum, why not extend it to the yard? Sharper Image has a robotic lawn mower sure to scare the crap out of your neighbors with kids — I mean save you the time of mowing your yard. I don’t know, the idea of a robot armed with sharp spinning blades scares me. Not in a Terminator sort of way but in the lawsuit-waiting-to-happen kinda way.

    Besides why not just pay a person to cut your grass for you? Then you get your grass cut (probably better job too) and remove any personal liablity you might run into. AND at $500 thats probably 2 summers of cutting from the neighborhood kid.

    Now the Sharper Image has it’s own robot vac. A little scan on actual details it does have some nice pics of it. I personally think they should make some orange “vacuuming next 25 feet” or “vacuum at work” or “room closed due to vacuuming” construction signs to go with the little orange cones that come with it.

    Thanks Sarah

    This can only be described awesome. It is quite impressive that this was done with only streaming characters — it kinda puts the whole smiley face thing to shame. I am both in awe of the skill involved and jealous of the free time apparently available to others.

    Thanks Jeremy

    Wow, Bad

    I think i may have found – quite possibly – the WORST web site design EVER. I don’t know maybe it’s a joke, but they have resumes and stuff about how good they are, but then again they have quotes like:

    IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH FINISHED PROJECT YOU TAKE IT AND PAY US.
    WE DO NOT CONSULT WITH CLIENTS – WE UNLEASH THE PROJECT
    Please note that you will probably only see most of the humor in this if you are somewhat familar with web design.
