Although the video has not yet been released publicly, we know that police believe four suicide bombers carried out the attacks, and have released the identity of three of the suspected attackers. Forensic evidence linking the men to the blasts has also been recovered from three of the blast sites and police have seized explosives from one of their properties, a suspected “bomb making factory“, in the north of England. The breakthrough came as police scoured thousands of hours of CCTV footage. On Monday evening, officers analysing video evidence noticed that four men, each carrying a large military-style backpack, arrived at Kings Cross station at about 8:30 AM on the day of the blasts.

This crazy policeman drives into a Wendy’s drive-thru and thinks that he gave the assistant $20. When she hands back the change, he realises it is only for $10 and thinks that she had ripped him off. So he walks in to make a complaint, and ends up spraying the assistant with pepper spray, and then says “You had your chance“. Now that’s stupid for you.
NASA has delayed the launch of the Discovery space shuttle, bound for the Internation Space Station, because of a fault in the fuel tank sensor. This would have been the first mission since the Columbia disaster in 2003, when the shuttle and all the 7 crew members were lost. The crew were ready for take-off when the order was given to abort the mission. It is unknown yet when NASA will reschedule the flight.
So I bet you didn’t know of this Pepsi factory in Bangali, did you? Check out the images, they really are funny as hell.
LifeSiteNews.com has obtained and made available online copies of two letters sent by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who was recently elected Pope, to a German critic of the Harry Potter novels. They have kindly translated it into English, but there is a link to the original German versions, which are in PDF format.
A bried sentence which the Cardinal says: “It is good, that you enlighten people about Harry Potter, because those are subtle seductions, which act unnoticed and by this deeply distort Christianity in the soul, before it can grow properly.”

This article talks about the end of the floppies. They were once useful but now as file sizes increase, you cannot transport very much on it, not forgetting about how unreliable floppies are.

So if you live in the US, then you should be ready, with digital TV’s getting cheaper and cheaper.
It was first reported that Microsoft was to buy Claria, but that now has changed. Claria is the company that released the Gator spyware software and I think if Microsoft were to buy it, it would be the biggest mistake of all time. They said that they won’t buy Claria but are still interested in technology similar to Claria’s and that no partner is “officially in scope at this time“. The above screenshot shows Microsoft’s AntiSpyware program setting the Claria spyware to ignore. This is a big worry as Gator is the most annoying spyware I have ever come across. I have now relaxed a bit, as right now I am using Windows, but soon enough I will be getting a Mac Mini with Tiger! So no more worries after that!
