The New Republic Online: First Serve

Just becuase you haven't served in the military, doens't mean you can't be part of debate over a war with Iraq. From the New Republic Online: First Serve via InstaPundit.com. (Free registration required.)

In fact, over and over during the '90s, the generals with firsthand battlefield experience guessed wrong--and the civilians without it guessed it right--about what would happen when the United States went to war. Before the Gulf war, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell--who had spent his life in uniform--said war with Iraq would prove too costly. He was overridden by Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, who once infamously told a reporter that he "had other priorities in the '60s than military service." In 1992 Powell wrote a New York Times op-ed warning against U.S. military intervention in Bosnia--intervention that (in tandem with a Croat ground assault) eventually forced the Serbs into a peace deal. And in 1999 the Joint Chiefs of Staff leaked to the press their opposition to U.S. war in Kosovo--a war that drove Slobodan Milosevic from Kosovo without a single American combat casualty.

$662 million, 10-year plan to make bay a ferry capital

From SFGate: $662 million, 10-year plan to make bay a ferry capital / Proposal would add 7 routes and use less-polluting vessels

If state lawmakers approve the $662 million, 10-year plan -- and Bay Area voters and elected officials agree to fund it through a combination of increased bridge toll revenues, sales taxes and local contributions -- 44 ferries could be plying the bay by 2015. That would make it the world's largest ferry fleet, outpacing Sydney, which operates 32 boats.

666 in Barcodes - a hidden mark of the beast?

I found this at work today while checking the FAQ of a Barcode/MICR font company. A customer purchased one of their fonts, and needed to make it work with one of our software applications. In the FAQ I found: 666 in Barcodes - a hidden mark of the beast?.



Is this really a question they are frequently asked? I have been working in the barcode software industry for almost ten years, and have never been asked about "666" in barcodes.
