] SYRACUSE, New York (AP) -- A 5-year-old girl was found
] bound in duct tape under a tarp at an abandoned warehouse
] Sunday, a day after she left home to visit a friend two
] blocks away.
]
] The girl's mother told police her daughter left their
] Syracuse home at 6 p.m. Saturday to visit her friend. The
] mother called the friend's house to see if the girl
] arrived safely and called police when she learned she
] hadn't.

Ok, not that the person who did this doesn't deserve to go to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison, but WTF was this mother thinking? A 5 year old walking by themselves to a friends house? Christ.

I love this thing. Built in CVS commits, Syntax Highlighting, TODO tag support, don't need to be an Admin to install, damn this is a cool IDE. I hate java, but this makes java less painful.

Ohhh there have a C++ plugin!

] Pentagon officials omitted the discussion of the meeting

] Rumsfeld told reporters at a briefing yesterday that he

] no final decision had been made to go to war.

This is continues a scary trend the Bush Administration has done since it came into the Whitehouse: Trying to Change history. They have already modified their robots.txt to prevent indexing of Iraq related information on whitehouse.gov, and now they are released transcripts that aren't complete?

Sure we have the Washington Post to nail their ass, but will we always? As Clear Channel grows in power, ask yourself this: What would a politian be willing to do for a company that could literally change recorded history with its hold over all forms of media?

My review on Interz0ne III. I also am quite frank in my pros and cons, discussing some problems I see where Interz0ne is going.

] The con organizers needs to relax, and let the con grow
] on its own based on the quality of its talks and how much
] fun it is to attend. They are seeking to make this a
] profitable venture, and good for them. However if they
] are charging $30 bucks a head when I am suppling
] free-of-charge over 3 hours of content, I don't expect or
] deserve some of the static I'm getting from them. I hope
] they change their focus, tone down their ideas of
] overnight greatness, and listen to what people are saying
] about their con. People constantly say they like
] Interz0ne because it is small enough that you can talk
] with the speakers, that it attracts smart hackers with
] good talks, and they enjoy the partying. Interz0ne is
] great the way it is, and in an effort to make it larger
] and profittable, Interz0ne is pissing a lot of people
] off, myself included. I hope this trend doesn't continue.
