FBI Looking For The Bank Robber Who
Couldn't Hang Up 04/30/2004 02:47 PM
The FBI is searching for a bank robber who remained on his mobile phone during the course of a robbery. The entire incident was apparently caught on videotape. It certainly does make you wonder what the guy was saying and who was at the other end. The FBI says they're not all that concerned about who he was talking to, but once they catch him, they'll want to find out. You have to assume whoever was on the other end knew what was going on, but if that wasn't the case, then I guess the guy was just multi-tasking.

Disney's $80 million mistake: Fahrenheit
911 07/14/2004 03:38 PM
Disney -- cash-strapped and slumping -- made an enormous mistake when it declined to distribute Moore's latest blockbuster, Fahrenheit 911.

Michael Moore's headline grabbing documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," which Disney declined to distribute, grossed more than $80 million in its first three weeks of release, more than any Disney film this year and any documentary ever.

"It's held up fairly well," said Andy Spencer, a '96 graduate who works at Raleigh's Rialto theater. "It was two weeks straight of either sellouts or virtual sellouts."

We all know that there are many, many version of Windows being used around the world that are not legit. But the worst thing you could do is refuse to update security holes or fixes because they are not legit. That’s what Microsoft tends to do later this year. All I can say is that anyone using a pirated Windows version needs to have the same security updates as everyone else or we will all suffer from more trojans, viruses, DOS attacks and slow downs on the internet.
