The Pentagon and Climate Change

Hmmm... the 5-sided-square is at
it again!

One of their push the envelope,
think tank papers tackles the
thorny issue of what happens
if the worst-case climate change
projections actually does occur..

Interesting read..

I have a M$ word version of the
report if anyone wants a copy..

Air Conditioning Revolution!

WOW!

New technology in the A/C world!

The opening paragraph:

"A tiny airconditioner that fits into
a toddler's backpack and weighs
less than a frozen chicken is being
developed to keep U.S. soldiers cool."

No mechanical compressor...

Universal Credit Card

Be afraid!

A company has created a universal
credit card
= a single card with a
mag stripe and a reader in the case
you store it in.

You insert your existing card(s) and
it will read and store the info on
the stripe.

You then insert their card, press the
appropriate logo and it will write
the appropriate info onto the mag
stripe...

WOW! What an easy way to pick
up other folks credit card info!
