        Carl Levin interviewed on "Fox & Friends" show on cut-and-run Dems.
        (Levin is the ranking Democrat on the Senate armed services committee,
        and also one of the most best among the Democrats)
        Notice the different reactions of both the male and female hosts at
        the end ...
        \_ She was dead pan and he was frustrated and shaking his head.  So?
           Her behavior is more professional but his is understandable.
           \_ "stunned" was the word I'd use for her.  naturally, of course,
               with the exchange she witnessed.  Remember, when you don't
               know how to react:  Put on a big smile!
               with the exchange she witnessed.
        \_ "We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant
            and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has
            ignored the mandates of the United Nations and is building
            weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering
            them." -- Carl Levin, Sept 2002

6/28    I'm looking for a company that can do testing of antivirus and
        anti-malicious code products--I have a client who wants some sort
        of "external verification", even if it's just a formality.  I
        imagine this will involve running a battery of not-too-complex
        malicious code & exploit tests.  Any recommendations?  -John
        |_ http://www.counterpane.com/consulting.html or
           http://securityevaluators.com ? Both have well known security ppl
           \_ Securityevaluators looks good, thanks.  -John

6/28    Overheard in the elevator today:
        A: I watched The Intrepeter last night.  Y'know, the one with Nicole
           Kidman, Sean Penn, ...
        B: Oh, what role does he play?
        A: CIA, FBI, I forgot ... something like that.
        B: Really?  I thought he would be a terrorist.
        [Awkward silence]
        \_ actors always play roles that are opposite their real life
                \_ oh yeah?  I was just at a neighborhood Chinese
                   restaurant.  The daughter of the owner was eating
                   lunch with her new bf at the table behind me.
                   White Dude:  Yeah I'm studying computer science
                     and stuff.
                   Asian Chick:  Let's go home and watch pornography.
                   White Dude: .....

                      \_ http://www.overheardinnewyork.com is WAY better.
                   \_ she actually said "pornography"?
                      \_ She's Asian, after all.

6/28    Help. My ISP doesn't forward my email anymore, or at least it is
        forwarding but has a huge delay. Below is a sample from
        "sendmail -bp". My user name is joe and my school is http://school.edu.
        What could be going on? Thanks:

        \_ Maybe your school implemented greylisting and your ISP doesn't
           deal with 450s correctly?  -John
        \_ Talk to your ISP.  I think it's a "450 Server configuration problem"

6/28    Traitorous NY Times quotes cut-and-run colonel insulting the memory of
        every soldier who has sacrificed their lives for our precious freedom.
