Not even going to go into the ways this is wrong... 'Nice Bombs Ya Got There'. The government is testing an airport scanner that reveals, well, pretty much everything. The image that screeners see is basically you, naked, under your clothes. Along with whatever weapons of mass destruction you happen to be concealing. [Wired News] 4:52:50 PM    Talk to me! []

A really long cat... Albert Einstein. "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." [Quotes of the Day] 3:09:02 PM    Talk to me! []

Ahhhh, a good move from the FTC.... Well, according the the NYTIMES, the National Do-Not-Call List Begins.   You can register for the list HERE.  Here is a direct link to the registration page. It opened at midnight, and 635,000 people had registered by 2:30pm.  The site is a little slow, I don't think they expected so much traffic.  As long as you register by August 31st, your number will be on the list when it takes effect October 1st.  I wonder if I'm the only one expecting to get a huge amount of calls before the list takes effect, so the telemarketers can get in whatever last blows they have. 2:39:05 PM    Talk to me! []

My first thought upon reading this... ...is shouldn'y this guy be running the country?  Then I realized we were probelly better off with him ignoring the country. Bush Raising $27 Million, Outpacing All Democrats. President Bush's re-election campaign expects to have raised $27 million to $30 million by the end of the month, most of it from a two-week burst of appearances. By Richard W. Stevenson.
