Army Orders Pain Ray Trucks; New Report Shows 'Potential for Death'

After years of testing, the Active Denial System -- the pain ray which drives off rioters with a microwave-like beam -- could finally have its day. The Army is buying five of the truck-mounted systems for $25 million. But the energy weapon may face new hurdles, before it's shipped off to the battlefield; a new report details how the supposedly non-lethal blaster could be turned into a flesh-frying killer.

The contract for the pain ray trucks is "expected to be awarded by year's end," Aviation Week notes. "A year after the contract is signed, the combination vehicle/weapons will start be fielded at the rate of one per month."

It's been a very long time coming. As we've previously reported, there have been calls to deploy the Active Denial System in Iraq going back to 2004.

But it's always been delayed for legal, political, and public relations reasons. Anything that might be condemned as torture is political dynamite.

We Didn’t Start the Fire

October 13, 2008 - 1:52 am PDT - by Pete Cashmore Add a Comment

I don’t blame my fellow 20-something tech bambinos for striking the match that burned down our money-tree last week. The VCs aren’t to blame either.

No, if you’re looking for an anthem for the web crash, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” isn’t it. Try instead, Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire. Better still, pick the remixed version (above), which points the finger of blame in the right direction.

What makes this doubly apt: we were humming the same tune in the good old days, too.

Shortcut for Multiple Profile in Outlook

Do you use multiple profiles in Outlook? If you go into Control Panel, Mail and select your most used profile in the Always use this profile dropdown, then change it to Always ask... the profile listed when you first start Outlook will be the one you selected and you'll have the option of choosing a different profile.

If you prefer to use shortcuts to open Outlook, you can configure it to open Outlook using a specific profile. Use the command line switch /profile profile_name and replace profile_name with your profile's name. This also works with the Start menu, Run command. Type outlook.exe /profile profile_name in the run box to open Outlook using a specific profile.

Crisis Management Fund

Would you want to add the British crisis-management fund to this? On Oct. 7 Britain announced an $87 billion rescue package for its banks, and offered a guarantee of $200 billion more. How high would you have to go if you added Japan and other nations to the list? And this is only the start of a story.

What do the great capitalists plan to do with this waterfall of cash? Some of them think that the party can continue as before. Executives of the world’s largest insurance company, AIG, which has already picked up $85bn and is thirsting for more, celebrated in the only way they know. They gathered at a top California beach resort for an eight-day jamboree and ran up a tab for $440,000, including pedicures, massage, golf and cocktails.

The Terrorist Barack Hussein Obama

IF you think way back to the start of this marathon campaign, back when it seemed preposterous that any black man could be a serious presidential contender, then you remember the biggest fear about Barack Obama: a crazy person might take a shot at him.

Some voters told reporters that they didn’t want Obama to run, let alone win, should his very presence unleash the demons who have stalked America from Lincoln to King. After consultation with Congress, Michael Chertoff, the homeland security secretary, gave Obama a Secret Service detail earlier than any presidential candidate in our history — in May 2007, some eight months before the first Democratic primaries.

At McCain-Palin rallies, the raucous and insistent cries of “Treason!” and “Terrorist!” and “Kill him!” and “Off with his head!” as well as the uninhibited slinging of racial epithets, are actually something new in a campaign that has seen almost every conceivable twist

It really isn’t up to us whether or not we’re going to pray, as though prayer were something we start. It’s up to us whether or not we’re going to agree to pray. Because prayer is going on inside of us all the time.
