Markt in Bagdad von Raketen getroffen


Der Einschlag zweier Raketen der alliierten Streitkräfte in Wohnbauten an einem Markt in Bagdad soll zahlreiche Todesopfer gefordert haben. Etwa 15 Leichen seien zu sehen gewesen, berichtete Reuters. Mindestens zwei Raketen seien eingeschlagen, so auch der Leiter der irakischen Zivilverteidigungskräfte. Er ging von 14 Todesopfern aus. Unterdessen gehen die blutigen Kämpfe südlich Bagdads weiter. Bis zu 650 Tote Iraker forderten laut US-Geheimdienstangaben die Kämpfe um die südirakische Stadt Najaf.

United States Patent: 6,535,988
System for detecting over-clocking uses


a reference signal thereafter preventing over-clocking by reducing clock rate.

Abstract

An over-clock deterrent mechanism of a chipset which comprises an over-clock detection circuit for detecting over-clocking of a system (processor) clock signal based on comparison of ratio of the system (processor) clock signal which is likely to be over-clocked and a fixed, stable reference clock signal which is highly unlikely to be over-clocked, and an over-clock prevention (thwarting) circuit for deterring such an over-clocking by either disabling operations of a computer system or significantly undermining key operations of a computer system.

WARBLOGGING


Der Krieg wird zur Qual. Auf allen Kanälen wird gebombt und gestorben, die Kampfmaschine rollt entfesselt. Ein Skandal sei es, meinen US-Politiker, wenn gezeigt werde, dass der Krieg auch Opfer fordert: Der Mensch sei kein Thema. Im Web ist das anders. Millionen von Menschen suchen dort, was ihnen das Fernsehen nicht bietet.

"Look Ma, no hands!" may well one day be the catch call of those who prefer their own handiwork when it comes to relieving sexual urges thanks to the development of SOM, according to Asahi Geino (4/3).

SOM is an acronym for Super Onanism Machine and its inventors claim it's the first powered sex aid capable of moving vertically as well as horizontally without needing a guiding hand from the user.

U.S. Finds Nothing at Iraq Chemical Plant


U.S. military investigators have found no evidence that chemical weapons have been made in recent years at a suspect chemical plant secured by U.S. troops in southern Iraq, a senior defense official said Tuesday. Before the war, American intelligence agencies had identified the site in the town of Najaf as a possible part of Iraq's chemical weapons program, the official said, speaking on condition he not be identified. Indications then were that the plant had not been used for banned weapons activities since 1998, the official said.
