Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Feb 10, 2003 5:00pm PSTHello my internet e-friends and e-companions! Please accept this gift:
- In case you havent heard yet, Dell dude arrested - Pepsi sponsoring a $1Billion contest? - NASA announcing we're all gonna live? - SBC considering a DirectTV buyout more here - Musical id tags - Telco law from 1996 finally being revisited - Did the Swiss design Stonehenge?Lastly, glad to see that the new codebase on Fileshack is fixing so many problems. A nice side effect of some of the changes it that I am able to scale up the public slots a bit more as we've got a bit better handle on bandwidth usage and being predictable. All day today wait times have been 0 to 10 minutes. I imagine that will change tomorrow though with the 3DMark03 release :)
The Secret World delayed until July 3
Daily Filter: Sleeping Dogs, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

Interesting. A listing of the major countries which import/export oil.
Things learned from this map:
- OPEC as a whole is not very big when compared to the Non OPEC countries.. but their supplies are and that's what counts.
- England's oil reserves are about to hit the shitter in a decade or two. No wonder Blair is sucking up.
- US has 24% of it's oil in Alaska. No doubt those reserves will be tapped if a huge war prevents important oil imports
- Aussies have untapped sources of oil in the Timor Sea.
- Iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the world. Major point here, kiddies. France and Russia have interests in Iraq... and after the outcome of the war so will the US, too.
- Mexico is the third largest non-Opec exporter in the world. wtf. Why aren't Mexicans buying fancy cars and big houses?
Anyway, nice little tidbits of info on various countries and their roles in the oil business.
A Canadian Sikh who is fighting for an independent Sikh country to be carved out of India planned the bombing of an air india plane and killed 329.
He got 5 years. Go Canadian justice system!

Do people wear jackets this repulsive where you live?
I've never seen anyone hot wearing one. I'm not sure if this is because of the jacket, or because ugly people are stupid. Either way, it makes me want a license to pour petrol on people and burn them.

The Director escapes unharmed at the end, and Volkov is still alive.
I say make three, even four NOLF games, if they're going to be as good as the first two. 90% of shooters, or games in general, lack the soul and character than NOLF has. How often have you actually laughed (purposely) in a shooter?

I'd like to thank Budwieser for sponsoring the XBox Knockout Kings tourney last night at The BBC in Milwaukee (my usual haunt). My brother took the title and handed me the prize: NFL Fever 2003 for XBox. He dosn't have an XBox, but he kept the XBox + Budwieser tshirt and the Bud Lite keyring.
