He claims Cocaine is "350 percent stronger than Red Bull" but that people do not experience the "sugar crash" or jitters that he says some of the other energy drinks can produce.
Move over Jolt, you pathetic asshat of a nasty tasting cola. Cocaine is kicking your ass! 'Cocaine' drink claims to be real thing | the Daily Mail |

HOWTO: Create a MySQL 5 Linked Server from MS SQL Server 2005 |
|
|
Topic: Technology |
5:41 pm EST, Nov 1, 2006 |
The most relevant HOWTO document on how to do this is in a PDF here: http://developer.infi.nl/daniel/Linking%20MySQL%20and%20MSSQL.pdf I have mirrored it here: http://www.lucision.com/legal/rjurney/Linking%20MySQL%20and%20MSSQL.pdf There is a truncated HTML version of this article on the same site, but it stops in the middle of the provider string. Provider strings are important. You can find them, including one for MySQL, here: http://www.connectionstrings.com/ Now, I followed the directions in these tutorials and still could not get it to work. What made it work? I restarted SQL Server 2005 and it just all worked immediately, with a query like this: SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(LINKEDLUCISION, 'select * from mydatabase.tablename') GO Queries of the format SELECT * FROM LINKEDLUCISION.mydatabase..tablename still do not work. I dunno how to do these, but in my case we will be creating a VIEW that uses the OPENQUERY, so we are pretty much set. Some people seem to use the API here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190479.aspx but I had no luck with it. |

A record producer's plans to turn the historic Medical Arts building into a 140-room boutique hotel have fallen through. The 12-story building, which was built 78 years ago but has been vacant since the mid-1990s, is located just a few blocks from the site of the $200 million Georgia Aquarium and would also be within walking distance of parts of both downtown and Midtown.
This building is the nearest one to my condo building. It has been vacant for a long time. Buildings are going up all around it, but it remains vacant. Plans to convert Medical Arts building fall through - Atlanta Business Chronicle: |

Update: Ed Markey put out a press release today softening his stance on this. Congressman Markey, While I'm not one of your constituents, your statements and actions often have an impact that reaches beyond your district. Yesterday you were quoted in several news media outlets as having called for the arrest of Christopher Soghoian, a PHD candidate at the University of Indiana Bloomington, because he created a web page that generates phoney airline boarding passes. As you are likely aware, your call was answered by the FBI who reportedly broke into Soghoian's house last night and seized all of his computer equipment. I am a professional computer security researcher. I work for one of the worlds largest IT companies. My job involves finding vulnerabilities in software systems and getting them fixed. Responsible vendors are usually very responsive and willing to work with my team when we contact them with information about problems with their products. Through this process we are able to locate and repair vulnerabilities in IT infrastructure before the bad guys can find them and exploit them. However, there are always a few unsophisticated people who seek to shoot the messenger instead of dealing with the flaw. Christopher Soghoian is one of the good guys. He is not a criminal and he is not enabling criminals. He did not create the vulnerability in the boarding pass screening process. This problem has existed for years, and it has been noted in other quarters, most recently by Sen. Chuck Schumer. However, the problem hasn't been fixed. Soghoian's website was intended to demonstrate how simple this is, and he has clearly and repeatedly stated that his intent in creating the site was to raise awareness about the problem so that it will be fixed. His website does not make this much easier than standard desktop publishing software available on anyone's personal computer. Your call for his arrest, and the subsiquent events that have unfolded over the past 24 hours, have done serious harm to the national security of the United States. You could have simply contacted him, informed him of the legal problems that one could face for operating such a website, and discussed shutting it down. By choosing instead to prosecute him you are sending a message to security professionals in this country that if you observe a problem with national security policies or practices and make people aware of those problems in good faith so that they might be fixed, the government will treat you as an enemy and will prosecute you if possible. The inevitable result will be that people will hold their tongues, and problems will persist until they are discovered by someone who has malicious intent. I strongly urge you to reconsider your position on this matter. The current course of action is not in the best interests of this country. Respectfully, Tom Cross My Letter to Ed Markey |

We start out outside the cell, they zoom into it and we see the cell membrane and protein structures around it that make it move, into the inside of the cell where proteins interact to get work done, structural protein fibers self assembling, and then it takes us into the nucleas, where we see dna translated into RNA, assembled into proteins which are then processed and shipped to the cell membrane for use in fighting crime... errr infection. I wish they'd had this in biology class. This is amazing. harvard.swf (application/x-shockwave-flash Object) |
