Most of my news I get from TV while getting dressed in the morning (Fox News for national news, and the local NBC affiliate for local news, weather, and traffic). Then I read the AFIS Current News Early Bird (or just "The Early Bird"), which is a compilation of newspaper articles relating to national security and DoD issues from several sources: Washington Post, Washington Times, New York Times, LA Times, Manila Times, London Daily Telegraph, etc. Used to be cut-and-pasted the old-fashioned way (scissors and glue) and then faxed out. Then they started scanning in the cut-and-pasted copies into PDF format and made it available online. A year or two ago, they switched to html-only. ------------------ IP: Logged |

What about people that read The Onion and The Register? (Though I am upset that the "Biting the Hand that Feeds IT" has been replaced with "In Association with Intel.") ------------------ IP: Logged |

For anyone else that was as disappointed as I was, The Register's vulture logo is back! It's a happy day. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I know the idea has been suggested by movies (a la "Revenge of the Nerds"), but we could show the world that we do rule the world (by shutting it down) and maybe the sex crazed interns will begin setting their goals on getting into our pants instead of our elected officals. IP: Logged |
