3/25    USAF F-16 heroically avenges RAF Tornado

        \_ The Tornado sucks anyways.
        \_ It only killed the radar dish.  I expect one-shot-one-kill from
           our top pilots.  Send that guy back to target training.

9/1     Would you rather live in a city which has:

        \_ Definitely.  If it's strong enough to kill you, there's no question.

4/19    I went to Fry's today and got a new 300W PC power supply. It is 80%
        PSU efficient (compared to the industry average of 68%), and 99% PFC
        active power correction. Unlike my previous power supply, it is very
        cool, and best of all, it is NEAR SILENT! At 22db, the only thing I
        can hear is my faint pitched HD. If you ever want a near silent PC,
        I highly recommend Seasonic, model Super Tornado (120mm fanpower).

The jet fired a high speed anti-radiation missile which damaged the battery's radar before it could launch a missile. The incident occured about 30 miles south of An Najaf while the F16 was on its way to fly a mission near Baghdad. It is the second so-called "friendly fire" incident involving Patriot missiles during the war on Iraq so far. On Sunday a Royal Air Force Tornado GR4 was shot down by a Patriot missile near the Kuwaiti border, killing both men on board. Allied planes should be protected from attack by their own troops by "friend or foe" technology which identifies them as part of Coalition forces to those on the ground. In the 1991 Gulf War more Coalition troops were killed by friendly than hostile fire.
