(UPDATE: Blame Noise. Maybe)
by Perry Michael Simon on January 3, 2011
Nobody knows yet why somewhere upwards of a thousand � maybe as many as 2,000 � blackbirds fell out of the sky in Beebe, Arkansas just before New Year�s.
Theories? Maybe they were hit by lightning. Or caught in a storm. Or even startled by fireworks and stressed to death. Or something. All anyone knows is that dead birds suddenly begain to rain down on the town.
You got any ideas? Because nobody else has any. They�ll be doing some necropsy work this week to see if they can find out what killed the birds, but, at the moment, it�s a mystery.
And, please, save the Hitch*censored* references. Those birds attacked people. They didn�t drop dead and fall on people. That would have been a very different movie.

Cape Canaveral, FL [ December 8, 2010 ], SpaceX became the first commercial company in history to re-enter a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit.
SpaceX launched its Dragon spacecraft into low-Earth orbit atop a Falcon 9 rocket at 10:43 AM EST from Launch Complex 40 at the Air Force Station at Cape Canaveral.
The Dragon spacecraft orbited the Earth at speeds greater than 17,000 miles per hour, reentered the Earth�s atmosphere, and landed in the Pacific Ocean shortly after 2:00 PM EST.
This marks the first time a commercial company has successfully recovered a spacecraft reentering from low-Earth orbit. It is a feat performed by only six nations or government agencies: the United States, Russia, China, Japan, India, and the European Space Agency.
It is also the first flight under NASA�s COTS program to develop commercial supply services to the International Space Station. After the Space Shuttle retires, SpaceX will fly at least 12 missions to carry cargo to and from the International Space Station as part of the Commercial Resupply Services contract for NASA. The Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft were designed to one day carry astronauts; both the COTS and CRS missions will yield valuable flight experience toward this goal.

Five centuries years ago, a new technology swamped the world with data.
Worry about information overload has become one of the drumbeats of our time. The world’s books are being digitized, online magazines and newspapers and academic papers are steadily augmented by an endless stream of blog posts and Twitter feeds; and the gadgets to keep us participating in the digital deluge are more numerous and sophisticated. The total amount of information created on the world’s electronic devices is expected to surpass the zettabyte mark this year (a barely conceivable 1 with 21 zeroes after it).
Carl Segan Day - November 6, 2010
I installed one of those generic Chinise security cam cards the other day to replace a looping VHS recording system. It came with the QX2006 Software that was a hackers dream (nightmare?) come true. I finally figured out how to get the whole system up and running but was left with one small problem...
I had the system configured to automatically start the program on log-in and even automatically start the recording process. What I really needed to sort out was getting the program to restart automatically after a reboot. The trouble (of course) was the log-in step. If I could do away with login I would really have no need to keep Keyboard Video Mouse connected. I could then tuck this away in the closet and basically forget about it.
I remembered with Windows 98 you could disable user logins and I figured there must be away to do that in XP - in fact I knew there was - but I had to enlist the assistance of AltaVista to get to the solution.
The advice I was looking for came from Killer Tech Tips.
The Following is Reprinted [wop] From KillerTechTips.com =========>>If you are the only person using your computer, you might want to disable XP login so that you can bypass the login screen window and go straight to your desktop, saving some time. Thankfully, Windows XP does provide an option [with which] you can disable XP login forever.
