ROSWELL, N.M. - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents today arrested 15 illegal aliens who were working for a local company here that is under contract to paint U.S. military aircraft, including Lockheed C-130 military aircraft.

You just can't make stuff like this up....

That's too funny. Thanks. :)

Lockheed Martin WhistleBlower Video
Topic: Miscellaneous 3:49 am EDT, Sep  1, 2006

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/30/earlyshow/main1949212.shtml

In a crudely produced 10-minute video, engineer and former Lockheed Martin project manager Michael DeKort charges there were serious flaws in some work done by Lockheed to upgrade security on Coast Guard vessels.

He calls it a waste of tax dollars that jeopardizes the safety of Americans. (CBS)

The link below is directly the YouTube video.

Well, I must say, he does have balls.

The Yes Men
Topic: Miscellaneous 4:06 am EDT, Aug 29, 2006

Small-time criminals impersonate honest people in order to steal their money. Targets are ordinary folks whose ID numbers fell into the wrong hands.

Honest people impersonate big-time criminals in order to publicly humiliate them. Targets are leaders and big corporations who put profits ahead of everything else.

I hate these guy's politics, but I admire their technique. They manage to get themselves on TV impersonating important corporate or government spokes people and provide subtly sarcastic commentary.

Class action suit in Australia Against eBay over Store Fee Hike
Topic: Miscellaneous 3:45 am EDT, Aug 29, 2006

"EBAY faces a possible class action from disgruntled Australian sellers pushed out of business after the online auctioneer jacked up its merchant and other fees by as much as 500 per cent.
An online forum lists at least 250 Australian-based internet stores that have closed since the US internet auction giant hiked its fees last Monday.

The loss-making eBay traders could sue for unconscionable conduct under the Trade Practices Act, said trade practices barrister Neville Rochow. "

The Trees that Survived Hiroshima
Topic: Miscellaneous 4:26 pm EDT, Aug 22, 2006

At the end of World War II on August 6, 1945 an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima by the Americans. The plants and trees in the area around the epicentre were examined in September 1945. Among the survivors were the four Ginkgo biloba trees shown on this page. They were situated near the blast center and appeared to bud after the blast without major deformations and are still alive today.

Therefore the Ginkgo is regarded as the 'bearer of hope'.

The Internet Makes You Stupid
Topic: Miscellaneous 1:20 pm EDT, Aug 17, 2006

When people post on any forum, whether it's a serious Mozart discussion forum, Something Awful, or PayMeToHumpThings.net, they usually act in a manner that's presentable to the outside world. Of course they do, because someone else is going to read that and they wouldn't want to look like a fruitcake in front of everybody. But behind that relatively normal exterior there are things they're wondering about and want to know, and they type these things where they think nobody will ever see them, like into search engines for example.

If you're more of a nerd than most, (and let's face it, you're reading Something Awful) you probably heard that a week or two ago AOL mistakenly released 3 months of logs from its AOL Search engine, and now the logs are all over the place online. AOL has already apologized for the error, but they shouldn't because these are some of the most awesome things I've ever seen.

Before we get down to business, let me explain what's happening in these images. One of our forum goons, xGryph, coded up a nice little search tool to let us easily look through the 2 gigabytes of logs. The big number on the left is an anonymous user ID AOL provided so advertisers or researchers or whoever's looking at the logs can track an individual account's search habits. Next to that is the search term used.

My Computer EXPLODED - CDRW just Blew the hell up......
Topic: Miscellaneous 3:40 am EDT, Aug  5, 2006

It looks a lot like that. Maybe worse - None of the disk was left of mine - it was just shards and some metal 0 rings flew out too.

I was burning a backup disk - had got up and was sorting some books, and heard a POW that sounded like something blew up over by my desk. My cat went crazy so I thought at first she did something really bad, then I saw all these pieces of CD everywhere.

MY WHOLE FREAKING CD exploded.

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNN It literally BLEW UP.

I gotta buy a new one. This one is so busted, lol - the whole front of the drive came off, parts flew out of it. I never had that happen before. My son came in (it woke him up several rooms away) and was like "What happened?" - I'm like "Get me a garbage sack - My CD drive just exploded."

I didn't notice a crack on the disk....I looked at it pretty closely before I put it in too - it was a memorex disk.....DAMNNNNNNN

'Wash Me' taken to a new level - the Dust Art of Scott Wade
Topic: Miscellaneous 8:24 pm EDT, Jul 26, 2006

As a kid there was nothing like dragging your finger across the dirty back window of your mom's minivan. Imagine lifting your finger to find you've created a Mona Lisa on the rear glass. Scott Wade of San Marcos, TX is perhaps the only person who could say he's done this.

US Ebay Store Owners Subsidize China's Free Listings
Topic: Miscellaneous 4:15 pm EDT, Jul 21, 2006

eBay announced yesterday that it was more than doubling store listing fees for US sellers, and raising final value fee commissions from 8% to 10%.

They stated that they were not able to meet the cost for stores.

So what US eBayers want to know is.....why is it that WE are paying out the nose, and eBay is free for China?

Could it be that the 2,000,000 dollar share buy back is actually at the bottom of all of this?

As eBay's stocks drop lower on the news, could it be that the stock prices are being manipulated somewhat?

Discussion boards ARE heating up, and eBay has a lot of folks very angry today.

See http://cbs4.com/topstories/local_story_202091018.html for more details on the price increase itself.
