Guide: "Surviving War in Iraq"
The Basics of War Survival
Before I get into the specifics of surviving this particular war I would like to cover a few of the basics of survival that apply to any war, whether it's being fought in the Mid-East against Iraq or on the moon against the legions of zombie cosmonauts. The first thing you need to remember is that words can hurt, but bullets can hurt a whole lot more and even kill you sometimes if they hit you in the right parts. When you go into a war zone many of the enemy soldiers will attempt to shoot bullets either directly at you or in your general direction. If they are shooting them directly at you then you should immediately dive into a trench, inside a tank, behind a lamp post, or under a bed. If they are just shooting them in your general direction then you don't need to worry, just climb out of the trench and yell "charge" or "get 'em boys". Nothing bad will happen to you.

Pinocchio robots are homeless
Sony's latest robots are more human than ever, but because they cost as much as a luxury car, not many are sold
Judging from the cooing at a demonstration of Sony's diminutive SDR robot, few would dispute just how cute the humanoid machine is.

Intel to Restrict Overclocking
-= FOLLOWUP =-
Intel has been trying to restrict overclocking for quite a long time already, however, its chips have been being overclocked for even longer time. Nothing can stop overclockers and hardware enthusiasts from boosting the performance for free and Intel definitely does not like this. Another aspect of overclocking is possible “mass-overclock” by unfaithful resellers, who remark the lower-end CPUs into more expensive ones and then sell for higher price. It is not a really wide practice, but we hear about such cases from time to time. So, Intel has at least two serious reasons to dislike overclocking and overclockers and also try to totally restrict such practice at all.

Military puzzled and worried about Saddam's invisible air force
THE precise location of Saddam Hussein’s air force remains a key issue for coalition forces as military commanders yesterday expressed concerns that the Iraqis may be holding back their planes for a defiant attack involving chemical weapons.
The theory appeared to be confirmed last night by the UK commander of the British Harrier force in the Gulf, who warned that the Baghdad military regime may use their air force to launch a surprise chemical attack on coalition forces.

When Baghdad was world's richest city
A great city dating back to 762, destroyed by invading Mongols in 1258, visited throughout the centuries by plagues, floods and fire, braced itself this week for new unpleasantness.
Few great cities in history have suffered as much as this ancient metropolis, dreaming on the River Tigris of past glories, of times when it was the hub of a rich, flourishing Golden Age of Islamic civilisation.

The warheads – discovered in a confrontation with Saddam Hussein's Medina division about 60 miles south of Baghdad – have been transferred for testing, according to Paul Strand of the Christian Broadcasting Network.
