  • happy new year

    happy new year. and gunny we had the technology to go all the way to Jupiter since the 1980's. The only problem is MONEY. To make such a trip would cost billions if not trillions of dollars. I also doubt that there is anyone willing to spend 6 years of their life in a spaceship and 6 years back just to find what a bunch of rocks? The same could be done with a WAY less expensive probe.

  • Xbox 'thief' is Xbusted

    An Xbox marked the spot where a Bronx man stockpiled a treasure trove of pilfered electronics, police said.


    Jeremiah Gilliam, 22, was caught after playing a stolen game console online -- allowing cops in Pelham, where it was stolen, to trace the IP address to his grandmother's address, cops said.


    There, detectives found dozens of video games, laptops, and GPS devices believed to have been stolen from as many as 200 car break-ins and several home burglaries in Westchester County.


    Gilliam was already under investigation for 13 robberies of unlocked cars, Pelham Detective John Hynes said.


    A kid whose Xbox was stolen in one of the burglaries noticed that someone was playing online with his game system and told his parents, who reported it to police.


    "On the day of the burglary, the victim used another Xbox and saw his system was already online," Hynes said. "At the house, we found Xboxes, PlayStations, GPS units, laptops -- a total of 53 items, including stolen credit cards."


    Gilliam is charged with grand larceny.

  • Twas the night before christmas...

    was the night before Christmas, and all through the skies,


    Air defenses were up, with electronic eyes.


    Combat pilots were nestled in ready-room beds,


    As enemy silhouettes danced in their heads.


    Every jet on the apron, each SAM in its tube,


    Was triply-redundant linked to the Blue Cube,


    And ELINT and AWACS gave coverage so dense


    That nothing that flew could slip through our defense.


    When out of the klaxon arose such a clatter


    I dashed to the screen to see what was the matter;


    I dialed up the gain and then quick as a flash


    Fine-adjusted the filters to damp out the hash.


    And there found the source of the warning we'd heeded:


    An incoming blip, by eight escorts preceded.


    "Alert status red!" went the word down the wire,


    As we gave every system the codes that meant "FIRE"!


    On Aegis! Up Patriot, Phalanx and Hawk!


    And scramble our fighters -- let's send the whole flock!


    Launch decoys and missiles! Use chaff by the yard!


    Get the kitchen sink up! Call the National Guard!


    They turned toward the target, moved toward it, converged.


    Till the tracks on the radar all finally merged,


    And the sky was lit up with a demonic light,


    As the foe became pieces in the high arctic night.


    So we sent out some recon to look for debris,


    Yet all that they found, both on land and on sea,


    Were some toys, a red hat, a charred left leather boot,


    Broken sleighbells, some gloves, and a ripped parachute.


    Now it isn't quite Christmas, with Saint Nick shot down.


    There are unhappy kids in each village and town.


    Can the Spirit of Christmas even hope to evade


    All the web of defenses we've carefully made?


    Just look how the gadgets we use to protect us


    In other ways alter, transform, and affect us.


    They can keep us from things that make life more worth living,


    Like love for each other, and thoughts of just giving.


    But a crash program's on: Working hard, night and day,


    All the elves are constructing a radar-proof sleigh.


    So let's wait for next Christmas, in cheer and in health,


    And be good boys and girls, as Santa goes STEALTH
