If I did everything right, there should now be comment counts present. This is important because it’s really inconvenient to click each link on the page just to see if somebody left a comment.

Mark Lemmons of Creo points out that there is an OS X version of Six Degrees. That’s fine, but OS X is not the Mac OS–attempts by Apple to confuse customers notwithstanding. I dislike OS X tremendously, and I would rather use the Windows version if Windows and OS X are the only choices.

I wonder if it would be possible to write a Newton driver for the Nokia card? Or maybe it acts like a modem already?

ACLU sues agents in drug raid .
ACLU sues agents in drug raid. Howard Pankratz at The Denver Post –
ACLU sues agents in drug raid – no search warrant, no arrest
warrant, but the jackboots broke into a home, kicked the dog across
the room, pointed guns at everybody, and arrested two boys. Hang
’em. [sierra] [End the War on Freedom]bq. “This is the most blatant disregard of the Fourth Amendment that I’ve seen since I’ve been here at the ACLU,” Silverstein said.
If the ACLU payed any attention to the Second Amendment or gun owners, Mr. Silverstein would be aware that the BATF has been acting this way routinely for decades.
I’ve added a collection of links to stories on the effect of gun control laws on crime in Britain.

Nikon D100 – 6 megapixel D-SLR .
Nikon D100 – 6 megapixel D-SLR. PMA 2002: 07:00 EST GMT: Nikon has today announced its first foray into the ‘prosumer’ digital SLR market. The new D100 digital SLR is based on the popular F100 film SLR. The D100 features a six megapixel … [Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)]
I’ve been very satisfied with my Nikon F100, but film is necessarily more expensive and inconvenient that digital. If I was going to buy a new camera, it would probably be the D100.

So why would a group of people, who obviously had the advantage of
numbers, not put up a fight and overpower their knife-wielding
assailants? It is more than likely that the reason is they were taught
all their lives to not defend themselves in such a situation. Now,
before you sit down and start writing that dubious poisoned-filled
missive about how I am claiming the victims are at fault for their own
deaths, at least examine my reasoning before you pass final judgment
on my character.

CIA Warns of Afghan Civil War .
CIA Warns of Afghan Civil War. The Central Intelligence Agency is warning in a classified analysis that Afghanistan could descend into civil war due to fierce competition for power among rival warlords, a senior U.S. official said Thursday. [AP World News]
What do you know, the CIA actually managed to notice something obvious for a change.
Assault rifles for Annan guards investigated .
Assault rifles for Annan guards investigated. Sources in the U.N. Security and Safety Service say that the members of Mr. Annan’s personal protective detail have been using the German-made MP5 submachine guns since 1998, despite an apparent failure to obtain U.S. clearance for their use. [Washington Times]
This is the same Mr. Annan who was attacking civilian ownership of small arms last year. He obviously doesn’t have a problem with it as long as the civilians are protecting him. Apparently he’s trying to get the Rosie O’Donnell Hypocrisy Award for 2002.
