Hurra New Antville server is on its way
I ordered the new, future antville.org Server the other day. The picture above shows what it will look like on the inside. After lots and lots of thinking and discussions with people with lots of experience running big server racks, I decided to go with a bigger 2 unit server instead of a 1 unit model. The reason is that 1 unit rack servers are tightly crammed and usually have significantly reduced lifetime compared to spacier models.

Seinfeld still master of syndication domain
Jerry and Elaine and George and Kramer would no doubt have a field day overanalyzing it, but the success of "Seinfeld" remains a genuine television phenomenon.
Nearly five years after its final original broadcast on NBC, Jerry Seinfeld's celebrated "show about nothing" is still the top-rated off-network program in syndication, routinely outdrawing "Friends," "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Will & Grace" in total viewership.

Shrimps are army's secret weapon
Shrimp shells and vinegar may become staples for U.S. Army troops in Iraq -- not as rations but in a new bandage that staunches heavy bleeding in minutes.
A team of Portland, Oregon-based scientists searching for a solution to an age-old problem -- how to keep soldiers from bleeding to death on the battlefield -- stumbled on the kitchen pantry combination and, through high-tech wizardry, turned it into a super-sticky, combat-ready field dressing.

Soldiers pot plants amid nuclear crisis
While the world wonders whether North Korea is trying to develop nuclear weapons, a team of North Korean soldiers has nurtured more than 1,000 perennial begonias named after the country's leader, Kim Jong-il.
North Korea's official KCNA news agency said on Thursday the soldiers from a defence ministry hothouse put on the "kimjongilia" flower show this week as a tribute to Kim, whose 61st birthday falls on February 16.
"Put on display were over 1,000 potted kimjongilias cultivated with care by servicemen of the Korean People's Army in profound reverence for the supreme commander," it said.

Jurors say they were duped
Ed Rosenthal CASE
Four of the 12 jurors who convicted medical marijuana advocate Ed Rosenthal of federal cultivation charges stood beside Rosenthal Tuesday and called for a new trial, saying crucial facts had been withheld from them.

"For the first time in my life, I find myself questioning the court system, " said jury foreman Charles Sackett III of Petaluma, reading a letter of apology to Rosenthal.
