CUYAHOGA FALLS -- A member of Ohio's 5694th National Guard Unit in Mansfield legally changed his name to a Transformers toy. Optimus Prime is heading out to the Middle East with his guard unit on Wednesday to provide fire protection for airfields under combat. "On Sunday, we were awarded as the best firefighting unit in the Army National Guard in the entire country," said Prime. "That was a big moment for us." Prime took his name from the leader of the Autobots Transformers, which were popular toys and a children's cartoon in the 1980s. He legally changed his name on his 30th birthday and now it's on everything from his driver's licence, to his military ID, to his uniform. National Guardsman changes his name to a 'Optimus Prime' |

] know in actual, quantifiable, stupefying terms, just how
] much WorldCom overpaid for the telecommunications network
] it built. hmmm... seems to me that they may be writing down the cost of the network in order to get their balance sheet just to balance. From WorldCom, an Amazing View of a Bloated Industry |

A great report from the CDT (Center for Democracy & Technology) that analyzed behaviors that increase the chance of receiving spam. This is a PDF file that's worth reading through. The bottom line: don't post your email address on a website. Why Am I Getting All This Spam? |
