Anti-telemarketing EGBG Counterscript

`The Direct Marketing sector regards the telephone as one of its most successful tools. Consumers experience telemarketing from a completely different point of view: more than 92% perceive commercial telephone calls as a violation of privacy.

Telemarketers make use of a telescript – a guideline for a telephone conversation. This script creates an imbalance in the conversation between the marketer and the consumer. It is this imbalance, most of all, that makes telemarketing successful. The EGBG Counterscript attempts to redress that balance.’

Corpse involved in Mexico motorcycle crash

`Police discovered on Friday that a passenger on a motorcycle involved in an accident in the rough Mexican border city of Tijuana was in fact a corpse which the driver had been carrying through the city strapped to his back.

Neighbours drug, drink claims

`It was not uncommon for actors on the popular TV soap Neighbours to turn up to work hung-over from drugs or alcohol, a court was told today.

The allegation was made on the third day of a Victorian Supreme Court civil action in which former Neighbours star Shane Connor is suing Grundy Television over his dismissal in September 2003. [..]

When asked by Mr Connor’s lawyer Dyson Hore-Lacy whether he had seen anyone affected by a drug or alcohol hangover on the Neighbours set, he replied: “Yes I have on many occasions, it’s not uncommon for cast members to turn up in that state.”

When asked what he had observed in the show’s “green-room” he said: “You usually see it within some of the younger cast members turning up hung-over or (with) dilated pupils… as a result of drugs or alcohol,” Mr Bunyan told the court.’


Land Walker

`Straight from Japan, its a starwars-like machine. At over 11 feet high and weighing in at over 2,000 pounds, this four pedal operated robot sports a working airgun on each side and is driven utilizing four pedals in the cockpit. You can pick one up for a bit over $300,000 – shipping costs might hurt a bit though.’

The car that makes its own fuel

`The Hydrogen car Engineuity is working on will use metals such as Magnesium or Aluminum which will come in the form of a long coil. The gas tank in conventional vehicles will be replaced by a device called a Metal-Steam combustor that will separate Hydrogen out of heated water. The basic idea behind the technology is relatively simple: the tip of the metal coil is inserted into the Metal-Steam combustor together with water where it will be heated to very high temperatures. The metal atoms will bond to the Oxygen from the water, creating metal oxide. As a result, the Hydrogen molecules are free, and will be sent into the engine alongside the steam.
The solid waste product of the process, in the form of metal oxide, will later be collected in the fuel station and recycled for further use by the metal industry.’

Mooncup Menstrual Cup

`The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber. It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing. Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy one.

The Mooncup will hold 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one third of the average total produced each period. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leakage or odour. You will probably find that you need to empty your Mooncup less frequently than you currently replace towels or tampons.’

Crazy Drunk Guy

`Starting around January 11th, 1999, I began receiving a number of very strange phone calls at work. Typically, the phone would ring around nine o’clock in the morning. I would answer it with my usual greeting: “Web Design, this is Jeff”.

What usually followed was weird gibberish, animal noises, shrieking, laughter, or a combination of all four. At first, we all thought it was most likely some stupid kid. We were all pretty busy, and didn’t give the calls much thought.

After several of these bizarre calls, whoever it was began to have actual conversations with me. He never identified himself, but it was apparent by the sound of his voice that this was no little kid. This was a grown man, probably in his forties or fifties, who was quite likely completely insane. By the manner in which he spoke, he also seemed to be intoxicated most of the times he called. The general consensus around the office is that he is probably a bum who is just getting his kicks by calling here.’

World’s Smallest Car Built From a Single Molecule

`The smallest car ever constructed – a single molecule “nanocar” just one 80 thousandth the size of a human hair – has been built by scientists at Rice University.

The nanocar has a chassis, axles and four wheels that roll. The unique car is described in a research paper that is available online and due to appear in an upcoming issue of the journal “Nano Letters.”

Other research groups have created nanoscale objects that are shaped like automobiles, but study co-author Kevin Kelly, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, said Rice’s vehicle is the first that actually functions like a car, rolling on four wheels in a direction perpendicular to its axles. [..]

The nanocar consists of a chassis and axles made of well-defined organic groups with pivoting suspension and freely rotating axles.

The wheels are buckyballs, spheres of pure carbon containing 60 atoms apiece. The entire car measures just three to four nanometers across, making it slightly wider than a strand of DNA. A human hair, by comparison, is about 80,000 nanometers in diameter.’

‘Ninja’ prompts helicopter search in McKinney

‘McKinney Police Capt. Randy Roland said police had to set up a perimeter complete with police officers and a helicopter around 9 p.m. Saturday for a 911 call from a woman walking in the 3200 block of Hudson Crossing who said she thought she was being followed by a man dressed in black with a machete.

But it turned out to be a 13-year-old boy playing “Ninja” in a costume with a plastic sword.’


Backer of theory contradicted self, lawyer suggests

`An attorney representing parents suing a Pennsylvania school district over the teaching of intelligent design raised contradictions yesterday in the arguments presented by one of the concept’s leading advocates.

In his second day of testimony in federal court, Michael Behe, a biochemistry professor at Lehigh University, said that intelligent design does not rule out Darwin’s theory of common descent, which states that all organisms descend from common biological ancestors.

Behe also said intelligent design does not maintain that life began abruptly, and does not specify God as the unidentified designer.

But plaintiffs’ attorney Eric Rothschild produced documents, including Behe’s own writings, that suggested otherwise.’

Bible Charts

`The books and charts by Clarence Larkin have been extremely helpful to Christians since they were first published over 75 years ago. They have passed into the public domain and we are making some of the charts available here as an aid to Bible study. Larkin’s charts are well thought out and Scriptually sound. Some of the more detailed are books in themselves. They reveal Larkin’s vast knowledge of the Scriptures and phenomenal grasp of prophecy. Practically all of the prophecy teachers today got their basic prophecy knowledge directly or indirectly from Larkin and C. I. Scolfield. Larkin’s works, as well as Scolfield’s, are definitive, works that will endure until Christ’s return. No other book since their publishing over 75 years ago has much improved on them.’


Clown Army engages war profiteers: 20 arrests

`More than 70 people took part in an action organised against the Weapons Defence Industry Association conference held at Te Papa in New Zealand on Tuesday. The action, which was organised by Peace Action Wellington, involved a large sit-in/blockade by the Aotearoa Revolutionary Clown Army in front of Te Papa which lasted for about two and a half hours, and also a blockade in front of an armoured vehicle. Twenty people in all were arrested, with charges ranging from obstruction, trespass and assault of police officers.’

The Joys of Being Homeless

`For a good part of 1992 I was homeless. What follows is some of the things I learned and did to keep going, but keep in mind that THIS IS NOT THE LAST WORD ON THE SUBJECT. I didn’t then, and don’t now, have all the answers for this type of situation. This is just how “I” handled many of the problems encountered. If you guys can come up with better solutions than I did, that is excellent. Hopefully none of you will ever have to live this way, but just in case…’

A very interesting article. I think if I ever ended up homeless tho, I’d die of internet withdrawl before I had time to worry about food and hygiene. 🙂


What your choice of Linux distribution says about you

`Debian

* This distribution is popular with those who always count in binary, and are politically correct in a free software kind of way. Many are suspected of having been nursed on a TTY. Debian users take pride in the fact that their distribution is always several releases behind the latest version of the kernel, but makes up for that by being more difficult to install and use. [..]

Gentoo

* If John Wayne had been a Linux user, he would have used Gentoo. Gentoo users are pioneers, people who like to live close to the metal, and don’t mind hurting themselves on sharp objects. Some feel that Gentoo users are simply lazy louts who always want to have a ready excuse for why they are not doing constructive things with their computer, other than compiling or recompiling the latest kernel, app, or hapless passerby. The official Gentoo motto is, “If it moves, compile it.”‘

Tissue Cleansing

`The following photographs are taken from Tissue Cleaning Through Bowel Management, a 1981 treatise by nutritionist Dr. Bernard Jensen (b. 1908, d. 2001). Beginning his medical career as a chiropractic, Jensen became taken with Homeopathy and toured the world’s spas and sanitariums in search of folk remedies. He based his philosophy in the homeopath Constantine Hering’s Law of Cure — “All cure starts from within out and from the head down and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared” — which led him to the corollary that all illness stemmed from dysfunctions of the bowel.’
