Oracle of Delphi

Oh I never assume, because it makes an ASS out of U and ME.

Give Us Barabbas ... Just in time for Easter too ...

Funny, I'm home and reading my latest issue of Pontiac Enthusiast (May/June 2009), they have an article called LATE-MODEL GTO ID GUIDE. They continually refer to the 2004 - 2006 GTO's looks as, and I quote (Celica-ish).

Your assumption is incorrect. Had GMNA engineered the HHR with AWD they could have sold more units in Northern U.S. States and in Canada. Also AWD could have been used on the Delta platform as a whole to increase sales for all Delta products, thereby evening out the cost per unit ...

Where is he, why does he keep his presence hidden from me ???

Ewwwww, I feel dirty ...

I like the Sky better too, but no Targa for it. I really like the Solstice Targa, might have to buy one with my Stimulus money ...

What no gate?

Nice to see the Cherry and Magnolia trees starting to bloom ...

Try Silly Putty ...

Happy Birthday DF!

So close to Washington, D.C., so far from God ...

Classified documents compromised in 103 countries, researchers say TORONTO - A cyber spy network based mainly in China has tapped into classified documents from government and private organizations in 103 countries, including the computers of Tibetan exiles, Canadian researchers said Saturday. The work of the Information Warfare Monitor initially focused on allegations of Chinese cyber espionage against the Tibetan community in exile, and eventually led to a much wider network of compromised machines, the Internet-based research group said. "We uncovered real-time evidence of malware that had penetrated Tibetan computer systems, extracting sensitive documents from the private office of the Dalai Lama," investigator Greg Walton said. The research group said that while its analysis points to China as the main source of the network, it has not conclusively been able to detect the exact identity or motivation of the hackers. The Chinese Embassy in Toronto did not immediately return calls for comment. Students For a Free Tibet activist Bhutila Karpoche said she was not surprised about the possibility that China could be behind the network. "Our computers have been hacked into numerous times over the past 4 to 5 years and especially in the past year," Karpoche said. She said she often gets e-mails that end up containing viruses that crash the group's computers. The IWM is composed of researchers from Ottawa-based think tank SecDev Group and the University of Toronto's Munk Centre for International Studies. The group's initial findings lead to a 10-month investigation that has been summarized in the report, "Tracking GhostNet: Investigating a Cyber Espionage Network." It will be released online Sunday. The researchers detected a cyber espionage network involving over 1,295 compromised computers from the ministries of foreign affairs of Iran, Bangladesh, Latvia, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Barbados and Bhutan. They also discovered hacked systems in the embassies of India, South Korea, Indonesia, Romania, Cyprus, Malta, Thailand, Taiwan, Portugal, Germany and Pakistan. Once the hackers infiltrated the systems, they gained control using malware — software they install on the compromised computers — and sent and received data from them, the researchers said.

Crank up the Grid, der Borger is powering up his linear amplifier ...

Das ist forbotten in my house and my daughter knows it ... I have software loaded that allows me to see every keystroke ... Yeah I know, Germany 1939, but it works for me ...

Fireworks

Very nice indeed ...

The HHR should have had AWD available, this was a huge oversight by GMNA ...

Please, you must shower once in a while ...

Again we agree ... I avoid Facebook and Myspace, to me, you're lacking something in your life if you are on them ... Besides, there's a creepy child porn stigma if your over 30 and on there ...

I would have to disagree, you can take the boy out of the Mid-West, but you can't take the Mid-West out of the boy ... Same goes for me, I've lived in the USA 30 years, yet there are some things I do or say that are strictly German or in a broader sense European ... It's nothing to be ashamed about ... Here I'm told I now speak German with a Texas accent, odd since I don't detect a Texas accent when I speak English, I worked very hard to remove the Texas accent from my speech ...

Creeps me out too. Doesn't it remind you of those creepy cheap ass cartoons imported from Japan, like Speed Racer, Gigantor, and Kimba the White Lion? That were always just badddddd ... Ahhh the 70's how I miss them ...

FOG, I really don't think you would be happy in Cali ... I wonder why my local Food Lion in Delaware never has car shows ...

Because you seem to be anti anything that's popular, in the U.S. I see a lot of them on the road too ...
