Monday, April 28th, 2008goodbye, F-117a
Monday, April 21st, 2008zonker writes "Nearly 30 years ago Lockheed Martin’s elite Skunk Works team developed what would become the F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter. A few of their earlier projects include the SR-71 Blackbird and U2 Dragon Lady spy planes. Today is the last for the Stealth Fighter which is being replaced by the F-22 Raptor (another Skunk Works project)."

If you haven’t done some reading on LM’s Skunk Works, you’re missing out. Just the name itself sounds soooo coool…. 
wild 1 @ col 2
Saturday, April 19th, 2008So Colorado takes the series 4 games to 2.
Minnesota Wild
Western Conference No. 3 Seed
44-28-10, 1st Northwest
Was it an upset? Not really. I watched some highlights and a little live action. The Wild were totally outplayed every second I watched. I saw a stat that, because of some Wild injuries (Boogard and someone else), three of Minnesota’s D-Men had to play 4, 6 and 7 minutes more than they averaged during the season. That’s a lot of hockey. I am by no means an expert on hockey, but I would say that if an "average" player, at the start of a game (ie, being all rested), could go all out for 5 minutes (and they don’t), I think I could go all out for.. 45 seconds. Maybe. If you ignore the fact that I can’t ice skate. But anyway, I’m not here to educate about hockey. I’ll enjoy the rest of the playoffs… I’ll try to catch some live games online. Even if the Wild got past round one, the Red Wings and Ducks look… untouchable. I remember last year, when the Ducks (ANA) totally destroyed everyone in the playoffs, including the Red Wings (that was a total shock to many if not all), and then the Senators (Sens, or OTA) in the finals. I hope that doesn’t happen again.
Oh, this from Y! Sports:
So now what? That has to be what the Wild is thinking, especially after Thursday’s 3-2 loss at home to Colorado. The Wild dominated play, out-shooting Colorado 40-17.
(Me: Ouch!!!!)
But they lost. Now, down 3-2 in the best-of-seven series, the Wild have to go to Colorado and figure out a way to get the puck past Jose Theodore.
"This is it," Wild winger Brian Rolston said. "We feel good about it, we feel proud of our effort tonight. Nobody will be hanging their head here. We’ll be ready Saturday in Colorado."
The Wild can take comfort in the fact that they have won once in Colorado already and that in franchise history the Wild has twice come back from 3-2 deficits to win playoff series.
But then there’s this: Colorado won Games 4 and 5 by a combined 8-3 margin. .
(Me, again: Ouch!!!)
Well, I think that’s all… better luck next time, Wild.
Totally don’t care about the Twins, although I might follow from a distance. No Torii Hunter (top 1 or 2 CF)? No Johann Santana (one of the best pitchers)? Haha. Twins baseball.
And I’m not excited about football season – never really have been. I guess I’m excited about graduation, and the rest of the hockey playoffs.
Hope they’re good.
There’s still nothing better than a short handed goal, Justus, not even a first date. Maybe, just maybe, a glove save, but I’m not positive about that.
Live it. Love it.

Got Spam? :D
Thursday, April 17th, 2008"New figures suggest that 92.3 percent of all email sent globally during the first three months of 2008 was spam. The data from Sophos also indicated that 23,300 new spam-related web pages were created every day during the period, or one about every three seconds. For the first time Turkey’s contribution to the global spam problem puts it in the top three offending countries. Compromised computers in Turkey are now responsible for relaying 5.9 percent of the world’s junk email, compared to 3.8 percent in the final quarter of 2007."
Wow. That’s crazy. And what’s crazier is someone must be buying their junk, otherwise it wouldn’t be profitable enough for them to bother.
MySQL Closed Source?
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008On the article that Sun is going to close source some of the MySQL source:
Oh, no they don’t. They can’t do that to MySQL.
They can do it to TheirSQL, but not MySQL…

Monday, April 14th, 2008two weeks to go til finals. hard to believe. tis gone fast.
from the hey-we-don’t-have-to-pay-the-hospital-bills dept.
Friday, April 11th, 2008Techdirt is reporting that there has been a rash of reports indicating that red light cameras are being used to generate revenue rather than to promote safety.
“Time and time again studies have shown that if cities really wanted to make traffic crossings safer there’s a very simple way to do so: increase the length of the yellow light and make sure there’s a pause before the cross traffic light turns green (this is done in some places, but not in many others). Tragically, it looks like some cities are doing the opposite! Jeff Nolan points out that six US cities have been caught decreasing the length of the yellow light below the legal limits in an effort to catch more drivers running red lights and [increase] revenue.”
Wow, that’s “cool”…
