IBM SONGBOOK
An integral part of early IBM history was the enthusiasm of the IBM salesmen in their dark suits and white shirts who set out to sell to the world. They were the employees of The Tabulating Machine Company, The International Time Recording Company The Dayton Scale Company and The International Scale Company, all Divisions of International Business Machines. It seems incredible that in 1931 tribute was being payed to the loyalty of Mr Edward Canby for his 42 years of loyal service to the company.
Times have changed and their ways are not now our ways, what follows is meant as a sincere tribute to those IBM pioneers.

Kirupa
My name is Kirupa Chinnathambi (kee-ru-pah chinn-a-tambee). I was born in Salem, India in 1984. Shocking how a name such as Salem can be found half-way across the world in Asia, isn't it? After having had the wonderful opportunity to have lived in Germany and Italy, I am currently living in the US (for the past 10 years). I'm 17 years old, and I currently attend Hoover High School, in Hoover, AL. Besides tirelessly doing homework, I enjoy spending time on computers. I'm a big software fanatic and an avid gamer. Besides computers, my interests include digital video, music (Bee Gees, Enigma, et al.), animation, graphic design, working out, and more.
Recently, I was given a chance of a lifetime to write a book. Mr. Jim Schachterle from Osborne/McGraw-Hill gave me the amazing opportunity to write a book about FrontPage 2002. After 7 months of typing, thinking, re-typing, re-thinking, and drinking countless cans of Pepsi, my completed work can be found in any bookstore in the United States, around the world, and online.

George W. Bush channels George Orwell
Learning to love Big Brother
Here's a question for constitutional scholars: Can a sitting president be charged with plagiarism?
As President Bush wages his war against terrorism and moves to create a huge homeland security apparatus, he appears to be borrowing heavily, if not ripping off ideas outright, from George Orwell. The work in question is "1984, " the prophetic novel about a government that controls the masses by spreading propaganda, cracking down on subversive thought and altering history to suit its needs. It was intended to be read as a warning about the evils of totalitarianism -- not a how-to manual.
Granted, we're a long way from resembling the kind of authoritarian state Orwell depicted, but some of the similarities are starting to get a bit eerie.

China's First Lesbian Film Quietly Tests Limits
BEIJING (Reuters) - Li Yu, director of China's first lesbian feature film, never told her male actors their on-screen blind dates weren't interested.
By the time the amateur beaux found out the leading ladies were gay, Li's cameras were already rolling.
"It was an experiment, an exploration, to see how people in society really view lesbians," said the rookie director of "Fish and Elephant," a prize winner at the Berlin Film Festival.
Shot on 16 mm film in a shabby pocket of Beijing, the movie stars real-life lesbians nagged by the daily pressures of their Confucian, marriage-minded society: a matchmaking mother, a deadbeat husband and a bevy of desperate, single men.
A murderous ex-girlfriend on the run from police only complicates matters.

Attacking Squirrel Captured in Ill.
The Associated Press Saturday, August 10, 2002; 11:32 AM
ITASCA, Ill. –– Authorities believe they have put an end to a squirrel's reign of terror.
They think a squirrel they killed last night is the one responsible for at least four attacks on people.
It was captured during a final attack. A man pulled it off his wife's shoulder as it was biting her. He threw it into a trap and called police.
Animal control officers killed the squirrel and are sending it to a state lab for testing.
The squirrel had a bald spot on its tail – just like the one described by the previous victims.

GESPERRT VON: ELIAS @All,
wenn ich so etwas lesen muss, frage ich mich ob der Chicken auch was Vernünftiges zustande bringen kann?? Auch auf ein Off-Topic Forum könnte man etwas Sinnvolles und Geistreiches posten. Chicken, dein Treiben werde ich nicht mehr lange dulden! Sollte demnächst von dir oder von einem anderen User nur der Ansatz vom Quatsch, Geistigergüsse oder Sinnlose Postings finden, werden die Threads sofort gelöscht und der Uhrheber wird den gleichen Weg wie sein Thread finden.
So, und nun einen schönen Guten morgen an alle
Elias
