Diebold Unloads Beleaguered Voting Machine Division | Threat Level | Wired.com
Topic: Miscellaneous 2:38 pm EDT, Sep  3, 2009

It took about three years but Diebold has finally managed to get out of the election business.

The company announced Thursday that Premier Election Solutions, Diebold’s beleaguered voting machine division, has been acquired by Election Systems and Software (ES&S).

ES&S purchased the company for a mere $5 million in cash, plus 70 percent of any revenue collected on outstanding accounts through the end of August. According to Diebold’s announcement the sale was “consummated” Tuesday.

DIY Electric El Camino Is All Kinds of Awesome | Autopia | Wired.com
Topic: Miscellaneous 2:20 pm EDT, Sep  3, 2009

It’s official. There’s nobody in the chat rooms but pedophiles and undercover police.

On Thursday, a federal appeals court upheld the conviction of an Indiana man whose online efforts to proposition underage girls led him to not one, not two, but three undercover cops, none of whom apparently knew about the others.

Topic: Miscellaneous 4:45 pm EDT, Aug 11, 2009

Part noir, part psychedelic romp, all Thomas Pynchon— private eye Doc Sportello comes, occasionally, out of a marijuana haze to watch the end of an era as free love slips away and paranoia creeps in with the L.A. fog.

ZOMG -- Teaser for the novel from the man himself!

RE: Continental imprisons 50 passengers overnight in grounded plane with no food, overflowing toilets - Boing Boing
Topic: Miscellaneous 11:57 pm EDT, Aug 10, 2009

Continental Airlines diverted a Twin-Cities-bound plane to Rochester due to a storm, and then locked the entire planeload of passengers in the plane overnight for nine hours.
