He’s not the best, but Bush not worst president either
Many will debate Mr. Bush's place in history in the year ahead. If commentary from recent years is any indication, the consensus will not be good. Indeed, many will proclaim him to be the worst president of all time. Such talk is silly for two reasons. First, pitting the presidents against each other in the search of some overall performance quotient is a horribly inexact science. Second, any assessment of Mr. Bush's legacy at this juncture can be nothing but tentative. Most of us (including yours truly) are not history majors. Many people, including those who say Mr. Bush is the worst president of all time, could not even come close to naming each of the White House's 42 occupants. And if they can, far fewer still could spend more than five seconds talking about the accomplishments and records of guys like Millard Fillmore and Benjamin Harrison.
Paris Hilton has new boyfriend, reality show
The "war against our will" continues because Americans are so apathetic that they can't be bothered to vote out of office whoever fails to change the course in Iraq. The buck stops with American citizens, as in any democracy. In terms of citizenship, you're as lazy and irresponsible as these celebrities you're obsessed with. .

Family Members of Brazil's Air Tragedy Insist US Pilots Turned Off ...
It cannot be said that they did not disconnect the transponder intentionally, since they assumed the risk of piloting an unfamiliar airplane, even its FMS," states Gujthar. "So, with all this, we want to know which other devices from the Legacy were turned off, besides the transponder and the TCAS, which we know of from the investigations. After all this, how can the civil aviation authorities claim that there is no indication of intentional disconnection? Their decision to pilot an unfamiliar aircraft, not knowing their equipment and international manuals, is an indication that they knew they could endanger the lives of the crew and other people." After the accident, at 19h56min54s UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), a conversation between the crew took place, while they tried to establish contact with Braslia's control tower.
Debate over malpractice ‘crisis’ comes to the capital
Whenever Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D,W,F-Manhattan, was mentioned the crowd booed and hissed. Reached at his office, Dan Weiller, Silvers press representative, gave a statement on the speakers behalf: We are examining ways to address doctors concerns, maintain the financial viability of the malpractice insurance system and ensure and improve patient safety. The Medical Society is arguing that following a 14 percent increase in insurance premiums in July 2007, most physicians in New York are now paying 55 to 80 percent more for their liability insurance in 2008 than they were in 2003, bringing the annual premiums for many specialists to amounts in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Adding to the problem they say is that physicians could face a 10 percent cut in their Medicare reimbursement on July 1 if Congress doesnt act to prevent it.
A geek’s trip to Capitol Hill on Network Management
Melvin Ammori, General Counsel, Free Press David Burstein, Editor, DSLPrime George Ou, Editor at Large, ZDNet Haruka Saito, Counselor for Telecom, Embassy of Japan Christopher S. Yoo, Professor of Law and Communications, University of Pennsylvania Christopher Yoo - After a brief introduction by Scott Wallsten who explained that the order of the presentations will be reverse alphabetical order, Christopher S. Yoo kicked off his presentation. Professor Yoo explained that networks, like roads, aren't built for everyone to use them at the same time. Yoo gave the example that if a person wants to know how fast he can travel on a freeway, he wouldn't know until he got there because we can't predict exactly how many other people will be on the road at the same time. Yoo explained the difficulty in projecting network capacity and that we can't always be right when determining whether more capacity or network management was the answer.
Bank vault data centre tests Server 2008
Banks may be closing branches to the disgust of many customers, but for one local IT services company, a disused bank vault became the ideal secure site for a new data centre to enter the hosting market. Networking-Plus, based in Brisbane, moved into the building of an old Commonwealth Bank branch that had a large vault which was converted into a modern data centre with overhead cabling and fully-redundant air-conditioning. Infrastructure manager Robert Warren told Computerworld the company has recently branched out into hosting when the new data centre went live in July last year. "It's certainly secure as the door takes two people to move," Warren said, adding the power service is also top-notch as the building shares the same grid as an adjacent hospital. The vault data centre houses about 35 servers, most running Windows Server 2003 and some running Red Hat Linux, with capacity for hundreds more.
Pirate Bay case unlikely to be heard before summer
The trial of four people involved in operating The Pirate Bay will likely not take place before the summer. US fashion designer makes 'plagiarized' scarf payout (4 Mar 08) Luxury hotel in pattern theft row (28 Feb 08) Pirate Bay team in fresh internet controversy (21 Feb 08) Anita Thimberg from the Stockholm district court cited the complexity of the case involving the file sharing site as one of the main reasons for the delay. It can take weeks for the parties to simply go through all the documents included in the summons, she told The Local. Thimberg also pointed to the fact that many are party to the case, including record companies that may be seeking monetary damages. Its a rather large and unusual case, she said. No specific date has yet been set for the trial, which is expected to last four to six days.
Coeur d'Alene Soldier Buried at Arlington National Cemetery
The question is still up in the air. Add two more council seats or stay the same? The question may be big but the turnout sure isn't. The city of Post Falls is contracting with the KC election department to conduct a special election today (at the Armory on Seltice until 8 p.m.) on this issue. As of about 3:40 p.m. when I made a visit there had been 168 votes cast including early absentee. That translates into a voter turnout so far of 1.6 percent. Who knows, at that rate the turnout may go over 2 or even 3 percent." He adds: "For the curious, the current number of registered voters in Post Falls is 10,207." So why the low turnout? Is this issue just too procedural to capture the attention of the electorate? .
EMC and SAP plan a romp in the clouds
EMC may partner with German software giant SAP to develop a suite of web hosted storage and application services. In an interview with Reuters, SAP executive Doug Merritt said the two companies are in early-stage talks to add SAP's business applications to EMC's burgeoning software-as-a-service (SaaS) storage platform. Both companies are mum on any technical or financial details of the proposed collaboration. But let's look at how things lay. In January, EMC unveiled MozyEnterprise, the first offering in its new hosted software line dubbed "Fortress." The online backup and recovery suite is based on technology acquired from Berkeley Data Systems last October. EMC made sure to point out Mozy is only the first step in expanding the SaaS operation.
