It appears that the Ministry of Propaganda forget to update His Imperial Majesty’s credit card with the web host. Those responsible have been vaporized with the Deathray. That is all.

This is Less Than Reassuring
“Scientists Not So Sure ‘Doomsday Machine’ Won’t Destroy World”
Three observations. First, how is the Large Hadron Collider not named after Dr. Strangelove?
Second, if thse fence-sitting scientists are right, I guess we don’t need to worry about the stimulus package so much.
Third, this whole thing kind of has a Douglas Adams’ ring to it, doesn’t it?

If These Guys Are The Financial Geniuses, Stick a Fork in Us
Where was this Captain Obvious earlier?
Rod Dubitsky, a mortgage analyst at Credit Suisse, found that [home mortage loan] modifications that result in lower payments tended to re-default at half the rate as plans under which payments were higher or remained roughly the same.

Bad Day Ends with Severe Headache
From this very interesting article, which had me thinking of Mouse’s book frequently:
If the MiG pilot went for Underhill, then Rodriguez could shoot him down; if he came for Rodriguez, “then Mole eats him up.” Confused, the angling MiG started up, and then down, which gave Rodriguez time to fly inside his turning circle, putting himself into roughly the same attack position the earlier MiG had had on him.
The Iraqi pilot, no doubt hearing an alarm telling him that an F‑15 had locked him in its radar, attempted a classic split‑S maneuver, which is the quickest way to reverse direction in the air. Flying parallel to the ground, he flipped his aircraft upside down and then attempted to fly a half circle, diving down, pulling up, and leveling off to head in the opposite direction. It was the right escape maneuver for an altitude of at least 5,000 feet, but the pilot, in his alarm and haste, neglected to compute one vital bit of data: he was only 600 feet up. He flew his jet straight into the desert floor.
