Message of the hour from userlame.com:
It took a while to surface, but it appears that a long-distance credit card
may have saved a U.S. Army unit from heavy casualties during the Grenada
military rescue/invasion. Major General David Nichols, Air Force ... said
the Army unit was in a house surrounded by Cuban forces. One soldier found
a telephone and, using his credit card, called Ft. Bragg, N.C., telling Army
officiers there of the perilous situation. The officers in turn called the
Air Force, which sent in gunships to scatter the Cubans and relieve the unit.

This is the main site board. This board has all the front page posts and any threads found interesting enough to be bumped up to here.
I spent today migrating this site and a couple others off the POS server it was on.
That is all.

Your general technology board. This is where you can be as cool as all the other "geeks." Post about any kind of tech here. Software, hardware, programming, gadgets, whatever. If you have any kind of tech question post here and I'll do my best to help.
Ruh roh. Looks like
all [slashdot.org] of [sourceforge.net] OSDN [freshmeat.net] is down.
Again [userlame.com].
What's going on over there guys? Have I just not noticed unreliability with these sites before or is this a new trend?
Also, it's kinda funny that the last two times I've felt the need to post front-page crap on this site (spaced well apart), have been about this same thing.

The general post-whatever-the-hell-you-want board. This is where all the threads go that don't fit anywhere else. Spill your mindless drivel here.
I would like a law which generally states:
1) ISPs may sell bandwidth only up to 120% of capacity, and may not limit customers' bandwidth below advertised rates.
2) ISPs may not omit, delay, inspect, or transform any customers' packets to the best ability of industry standard technologies.
The end. No traffic shaping allowed. No rate limiting. No port filtering. Nothing. I want ISPs forced to provide internet service.
And I'm usually against ANY new laws.

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT SOME STUFF! Post and discuss here about any kind of current events you like.
By a picture on their website [bradblog.com]!
Haaahahahaha. You posted a
close-up picture of the
real key?! Haaaaaaaaahahahahahaha.
Edit: apparently I didn't read this (the date specifically) too closely. Old news, but still new to me and made me laugh.
Done!
Did I win?
I bet the time on the site will show it took like 2 seconds.
...really it took about 5.
