coondoggie supplies an excerpt from Network World that might make you consider a lock for your pipes: "The FBI today ratcheted up the clamor to do something more substantive about the monumental growth of copper theft in the US. In a report issued today the FBI said the rising theft of the metal is threatening the critical infrastructure by targeting electrical substations, cellular towers, telephone land lines, railroads, water wells, construction sites, and vacant homes ...

soDean writes "The Principles for an Open Transition and a petition were co-launched by Lawrence Lessig, Mozilla, and the Participatory Culture Foundation today. This was in reaction to the announcement that Obama would be posting his transition videos to YouTube. The petition encourages Obama to publish his transition videos with open licenses, make them available for download, and preferably use royalty free/open video formats and standards. Unless YouTube makes some radical changes, the videos will ...

El correo directo puede ser uno de los grandes beneficiados en los momentos de crisis mundial, ya ampliamente comentados por todos. Se trata de un medio generalmente barato en su producción, que le llega directamente a el target interesado –con lo que no existe el riesgo de impactos desaprovechados-, y que genera un amplio nivel de recordación a la vez que “agarra calle”. Y la verdad es un gran escaparate. Así pues y con una ...

È la prima volta che allo stato Vaticano non viene garantita dagli Usa l’immunità sovrana sancita dal Foreign Sovereign Immunities del 1976. No comment dal Vaticano. read ...

No story has ever annoyed me as much as the Black Friday death that occurred at a Long Island Wal-Mart last week. What’s worse is that, right now, it doesn’t look like the police will be able to identify the perpetrators. They’ll walk away scot-free, content with having bought some piece of garbage widget for $5 less than they would have paid on any other day. That, and having killed a man. The New York ...

When I was a kid (in the 1950's), electric trolley cars or "trams" like the still-operating Philadelphia model pictured here, were quite common in US cities. They were quiet, had no exhaust, and followed the same rules of the road as cars, trucks, and rubber-tired buses. One drawback I remember was ...
