Treasure Trove
The americans are building a new space telescope, the Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope.
Most of the documentation is open to the public. If you are planning to build a telescope or if you would like to see how the professionals do a risk analysis or document a mission-critical software system, this is the place to go.

US Customs and WHAT??? Border Protection???
I have always known it as the US Customs Service.
I had to do some research on how to send a medical device with no PMN (aka 510(K)) to the united states.
I had to browse through the relevant pages at the FDA and also at the US Customs Service. I did not know that it has been changed to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. It says "Securing America's Borders"
Jeez, the americans are quite paranoid.

Internet Explorer and Acrobat Problem
For quite some time I've been having problems with internet explorer and adobe acrobat.
It goes something like this:
I go to a journal search page, say, the Circulation Journal
I enter a search and get results. Some of the results come in pdf format.
I open the papers in pdf format in new ie windows by right-clicking the link and choosing the "Open in new window" option.
I do the usual stuff like saving and printing.
When I close the window by clicking on the close button at the top right corner of the browser, the problem occurs.
The dreaded "ie has encountered a problem" dialog pops up and all the windows that were opened from the original search page (including the search page) are closed down.
Pretty fucking annoying, I tell you. Especially when you are logged on to some site that needs passwords, a site like Blackwell for instance.
I've been using Windows2000 for a long time. I was reluctant to replace the os because I didn't want to go through the process getting to know the interface of xp. So I just attributed the problem to some problem with windows2k and ie and adobe.
I was forced to install xp and I thought that the problem should be gone already. I was wrong.
I got this from google groups
I did delete the key from the registry.
When I try to open a pdf file in ie, ie shows only a blank screen, yihaaa! good riddance!!!
Now, I'll be forced to open pdfs in firefox.
fuck microsoft

G.I.s facing charges for subway exposure
G.I.s facing charges for subway exposure
If this were in the Philippines, Philippine government officials would have done the apologizing.
February 08, 2006 ㅡ U.S. Forces Korea apologized yesterday for an incident in the southwestern city of Gwangju, where three American soldiers exposed themselves in the city's subway system and took pictures of each other.
"The USFK command expresses deep regrets for the incident on the subway in Gwangju and delivers our apology to the citizens of Gwangju," the command's public relations office said in an e-mail statement.
Police in Gwangju said they were investigating the incident, and would charge the three men with public obscenity if the evidence warranted. They said they had received at least one complaint from one of the passengers in the subway car at the time.
The soldiers admitted to their misconduct and made written apologies, the U.S. command said.
If this were in the Philippines, Philippine government officials would have done the apologizing.
