Endless AOL CDs can fill your mailbox, but some people seem to love them. Others have found creative outlets for their AOL junk mail. Still more people simply love to collect the buggers, although some for grander purposes than others.

Someday, computers will only be the size of a football field.
Hercules! Not the shiny muscle man from the past, but a handy emulator for IBM S/360, S/370, S/390, and z/Arch mainframes. Unfortunately, because of IBM’s bullheadedness, you can only run operating systems released when the world was young, unless, for whatever reason, you decide to run something released after the Reagan Administration.
You can learn how easy you young whippersnappers have it now, but beware: to effectively use most of these systems, you will need to descend into Hell.

Fake Lego burned to heat Finnish homes
A multi-ton shipment of Chinese fake Lego that was seized in Finland is being incinerated at a heating plant.
About ten tons of counterfeit Lego blocks were destroyed at the Kymeenlaakso waste processing plant in Anjalankoski on Thursday. The plastic will be mixed with other waste and burned at a district heating plant in Lahti…
Johannes Qvist, regional manager of Lego in Finland said that in addition to commercial considerations, the destruction was also a safety issue, as the pirated Legos do not comply with toy safety standards.

Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
Once an eBook and now a website, A Christian’s Guide to Small Arms is described by author Gospel Plow as ” a primer for the Christian who is beginning to reject the false theology that requires him to be a pacifistic patsy in the face of heathen hordes.” Snip:
The most probable scenario that the Christian American, called to fight for God, family, and country, will be presented with is that of the guerrilla resistance. He will be facing an enemy occupational force that will have great superiority in materiel and organization. Outside sources of supply and instruction will not be likely. The wisest course in this situation is to choose weapons and tactics that minimize supply, training, and maintenance problems.

This CEOs Broken As Well, Can We Have Another?
McDonalds CEO “Flipping Burgers at 15” Quits Due To Colorectal Cancer You know, losing one CEO to coronary heart disease is unfortunate. However, losing another to colorectal cancer just seems careless. An increased occurrence of both diseases is linked with the consumption of red meat, especially processed red meat cooked or seared at high temperatures. Not exactly a good advertisement for McDonalds. Maybe it’s time to recruit some people who haven’t been enjoying the free employee meals quite so much?

MPAA fileswapper lawsuits begin
The Motion Picture Association of America has filed the first wave of lawsuits against fileswappers and released a program to detect file sharing. The MPAA also announced it would make available a computer program that sniffs out movie and music files on a user’s computer as well as any installed file sharing programs. The organization said the information detected by the free program would not be shared with it or any other body, but could be used to remove any “infringing movies or music files” and remove file sharing programs.

Hunting on the internets!
Texas officials wary of plan to hunt by Internet. Hunters soon may be able to sit at their computers and blast away at animals on a Texas ranch via the Internet, a prospect that has state wildlife officials up in arms.

Marvel Battles Role Players
Marvel Comics sues NCsoft and Cryptic Studios, the makers of the online game City of Heroes for player created content they feel infringes on their copyright. If Marvel wins the case, all game developers can expect to be held responsible for the behavior of their players. This case covers similar ground to the proposed Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act, which is before a Senate Judiciary Committee. Introduced to crack down on illegal file sharing on peer-to-peer networks, the bill would hold technology companies liable for manufacturing products that encourage people to infringe copyrights. The language of the bill caused an uproar among technology and consumer advocates who claimed it would kill innovation. If successful in their lawsuit, would Marvel be able to sue the makers of pens and pencils for producing products that allow people to create pictures of copyrighted characters?

Yeah..
i gotta say though, way too many people wash up in the communal showers, way too many fat guys. The showers are laid out badly, I have to walk through the communal ones to get to the enclosed ones, and yeah, way too many dudes don’t bother to make it that far.
I’m not a homophobe, I just don’t dig showering with the general public.

Heh, well we went to the YMCA again this morning, and I hope we end up going every morning. I feel so damn lively today, sore, but lively.
I sorta screwed up this morning and made Jenn late for classes, oops! Before heading down to get a shower at 7:30, she asked if i was coming or working out for another hour, since i dont have to start working till 9:00 am. I told her sure, but after getting out of the shower I couldnt find her and I didnt see the car out in the parking lot. So I thought she’d heard me say no, and taken off for school.
So I figured while I had time I went and talked to a trainer about scheduling some time so I could get myself entered into the system to track my stats.
Yeah.. turns out she had just taken longer in the shower then I did, and was waiting for me downstairs by the door. I had looked there, but yeah, I guess not at the right time. Once I noticed her I told her to take off as fast as her lil bum could carry her and I finished talking to the trainer and stuff. I feel pretty bad, I’ve never made her late for school before, I hope I didn’t put her off of going in the morning. We’re slowly getting our act together regarding that place, we aint never did the yuppie thing before.

Vending Machine Hamlet
Found this while working today, unfortunately I’m sick, so I couldn’t laugh as much as I wanted.
Shakespeare probably didn’t have a toy in mind for the title role when he penned his vengeful tale. But that was before a frustrated, 20-something actor decided it was time someone performed classical theater with a cast that can fit in a suitcase. Tiny Ninja Theater – now an international touring company – is presenting its latest production at Performance Space 122 (PS122) in Manhattan this month. “Hamlet” is the third major Shakespeare work the plastic cast has taken on, having already conquered “Macbeth” and “Romeo and Juliet” since its debut in 2000. A simple principle guides the troupe: “There are no small parts, only small actors.”
“They don’t complain, they’re very hard workers,” deadpans Mr. Weinstein on opening night, Oct. 28, after shedding the dark shirt and overalls he wears over street clothes for the performance. “Sometimes you can push them too hard. But they’ll leave you in the lurch, too…. If I forget a line, they’re not going to cue me, you know?”
