Senator Hatch: Destroy Music Downloader’s Computers
Now that’s the legal and ethical vision a U.S. Senator should have! I’m just sorry that Orrin’s presidential bid floundered… I suspect there’s a band of 19-year old hackers looking into Hatch’s on-line presense even as I type…wrong bunch to poke a stick at… And who ever would have guessed he was a song writer?…
IRS Employees Mis-using Computers?
Internal Revenue Service employees using thousands of computers accessed prohibited Web sites, blah, blah, blah. There’s nothing unusual about this; every company has the same issues in this day and age. But maybe this is why I just got my tax refund this past week…

A Brave, Classy Woman
For the wife of the shuttle Columbia to say “fix it and fly again” is amazing. What class and vision. She’s a remarkable person. For those who don’t know, I’m a big proponent of scientific research in general and NASA in particular. To me, it’s not surprising that we’ve had another shuttle accident. Funding for…
