China breaks international law : June 18, 2002 : Note 0

I read an article the other day stating that Chinese guards ran into the South Korean embassy to capture a North Korean refugee and his son who had run in earlier.  Along the way they beat up some Korean embassy workers who were trying to protect the refugees.  The Chinese…

Beam me up, Scottie : June 17, 2002 : Note 0

According to this article, an international team based in Australia has successfully teleported a laser beam the distance of one meter.  They predict that within 3 to 4 years, the first atom will be teleported, but that it will be a long time before humans are ever teleported.…

USA beats Mexico!!!!! : June 17, 2002 : Note 0

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!  Amazing!!!!  The US has beaten Mexico 2-0 to advance to the Round of 8!  This is history-in-the-making, and I’m sure NO ONE expected the US to do this good. I stayed up to watch the game, and to be honest, I expected the US to lose.  But…

New movies stuff : June 16, 2002 : Note 1

I had some free time on my hands, so I decided to add something completely trivial to my site!  In the current sidebar on the top left, I have a movies subsection.  I used to add these things by hand in an HTML file.  I also keep a text file…

England, Germany make it through : June 15, 2002 : Note 0

No big surprises here.  Germany beat Paraguay to advance to the quarterfinals.  What was somewhat of a surprise is that England beat Denmark by so much (3-0).  But I’m glad England has made it this far. Ireland play Spain soon.  That should be a good match.  Shay is…

Spying and suicide bombing : June 14, 2002 : Note 0

The US has asked an Iraqi UN diplomat to leave by the end of this month.  He has been accused of spying.  The diplomat usually has 24 hours to respond to defend himself, although it’s doubted that this one will do so. And a terrorist group in Pakistan…

Thank God for Korea! : June 14, 2002 : Note 0

Whew!!  The US almost didn’t make it with their lame performance against Poland.  Poland slaughtered the US 3-1, but we made it into the Round of 16 because Korea beat Portugal 1-0.  I was chatting with a friend from Korea the other day, and told him that I thought Korea…

“Limits of God” article : June 13, 2002 : Note 1

Over at USS Clueless, there is a post talking about the ”Limits of God” using Set Theory.  His logic is as follows: Define the universe set V to be all actions. Within that we define two subsets G representing all the actions God is capable of, and…

US military spyplane images : June 13, 2002 : Note 0

For the last 6 months, it seems like US military spyplane images are being transmitted over unsecure transmissions and can be picked up by people with ordinary satellite receivers anywhere in Europe or the Balkans! This image was taken from a video…

Macs a better deal than Wintel systems : June 13, 2002 : Note 0

Chalk this one up under “DUH!”.  For years, Mac users have been hearing that Wintel systems are cheaper than Macs.  That Macs are overpriced and that’s why they never sell. Well, according to the Gartner Research firm in Australia, the Macs are actually cheaper to own and operate…
